Last month, I met a cheater in Skype. One guy told me through Skype chating message about his story. He said he was in the Peace Keeping troop in Pakistan. He was a General commander of a 7500 person troop. And he missed his son who was in Guinea for school and learning lar there. This guy said since he had no any friend or relations in USA who can help him to contact his son and ask me to contact his son and tell him about the status about his son then. And he gave the telephone number to me. I had guessed this guy must be a cheater at that time. But I liked to see what the next jugglery of this guy. I pretended to believe hime and dialed the number he gave me. Somebody answered the phone and said to me, speaking with a kind of young boy voice imitated. Hadn't out of my expectation, the "son" of that guy told me he need money to buy food and book in Guinea. So rediculous!

Gheez! I don't believe in those lines anymore. Those kinds of letters were being sent decades ago, they're just changing the names, nationality, and some details. But all normally talks about some money and danger they were in.

Yes, what you said is correct. This kind of cheaters are everywhere they can. Now I will never answer to any invitation to add to to my list of friend when a invitation come from a stranger.

Wow! So they're in skype now too? I've got tons of emails and text messages from these scumbags and never for once did I ever given them a moment. Thank you for this information. There are still a lot of people who get fooled by this trickery and it's only good that you brought this up. I use skype everyday for my work and I don't accept invitation from people I don't know. My contacts are just my students and some close friends.

Hi, thank you very much for your message! Yes, if we just ignore any invitation from the cheater, there is no any problem for us.
