Love / Is she genuine? - I would like some advice please re a Polish girl. [130]

Hi everyone, it's good to know there is a site dedicated LDR's ;-) I have just started chatting with this polish girl who's 29 and she seems genuine but I have been misled before with Russian and American girls starting a relationship with me, to find out within a few days or so they are Nigerian scammers....

And I don't want that to go through that and waste my time again as I feel she is the one for me, but I can't help being wary (just in case) I've done some quick background checks and nothing flags up.

Is there anything I can do to see if she is genuine without her thinking i'm checking up on her please?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I totally agree, the 1st sign of a scammer i've found is usually have lost both parents in a tragic accident, or they are in need of an operation and need money...

How did you meet her out of intrest?

We met on a disability dating website

Then type and cam.....simples :D I skype with a friend but sometimes whilst skyping we type too, it works...

I don't think she has skype i've done a search but her mail is not in the phonebook

Why her mum would go to Poland which was still under the communist regime and to add together with a young daughter plus a husband from Scotland?? That's weird.

I don't the full story but from what I can gather her parents seperated when she was 7 and her mum took her back home, her dad died when she was 20...

Ask her for a mobile number to text or even call her, it doesn't cost a fortune and at least you'll know in which country she's in. If she refuses to give a mobile, try a fix land line, if she refuses this then she's in Nigeria...

This I will do thank you

It's Pygota, I don't know what her english surname was :(

A similar word, Krycha, is sometimes used as a shortened form of Krystyna, but that's Christine in English.

That could be right her English phonetics are not too strong or perhaps

Katarzyna = Kasia = Kate

Perhaps mention you maybe planning a trip to Warsaw and see what the reaction is.

Also ask about her time in the UK where she lived etc, what she remembers, school that sort of thing.

Is it usual to change a surname?

I have mentioned a trip to see her and she said yes it is possible with planning from us and understanding...

She lived in Manchester I wil ask her what she remembers though and it is usual to change the surname if her parents were married then divorced.

Still, assuming that she's a real person, there is an ethical question. Andy, would you be willing to provide her with the same kind of information and be subject to the same kind of check-up?

I see where you are coming from in short yes (I trully want to believe) but past experiences have knocked my faith in people Nigerian scammers have a lot to answer for :(

She gave me her mobile No 00485********

I think that honesty and straightforwardness could be the best option. Just tell her about your Nigerian experiences

Thank you you are right on this ;-)

Knock it off with the Internet dating and find a girl in real life.

When your a single Dad and don't drink how do you find someone in real life please?

In that case good luck to you :) you don't need any other proof.
I'd only be concern why doesn't she want to use video-camera, is she a "he"or something else and plays a "big deal" here?

thank you this has put my mind a little to rest, as for concerns yes i agree she could be a he.

I'd just say, if you enjoy your discussions with her, feel free. If you can meet her, even better. Be somewhat cautious if asked for money or to pay things.

(Different matter - don't these forums have any notifications? I've not had 1!)

Thanks again, if it wasn't for people like yourselves it would be very easy for scammers to con people and for genuine people never to take a leap of faith...the minute I hear she needs money is the time to get suspicious.

I don't think this forum allows you to get notified of messages, however if you click on my theads at the top it will show if any1 has replied to you.

Thanks i do too, but has she slipped up or is it just me reading between the lines??

6 Days ago she told me she lived alone in 1 room flat.

Last night she told me she shared a flat with her friend in a 2 bedroom flat.

Should i question it or leave it for now and see what happens...

i feel she showed her face/words once or twice, but, she hasnt showed herself up really.

Its funny you should say that as i am getting that feeling now!!! i have just been on IM with her and after 15 minutes she just stopped talking and accused me of being too busy so she was going. at the moment i have talked to her for 40 minutes and not had 1 reply yet she is online...

Also she has refused to give me her address apart from the street name???
