Trolling the Web, looking for victims
To scam money, hope, and love
He thought all were the same
No one is aware of his game.

Trying to see what he can gain
Too little, too late
The one he caught was hip for the fame
He sought without effort,
He thought without blame

Narrowly escaping the daily chats
He got frustrated more and more
What can I do? Why won’t she do that?
Only to feel the suspecting gaps.

When he did, he couldn’t look into her eyes.
He looked anxious and they exposed his lies.
He thought it couldn’t be! She is not that smart!
I’m smarter than she and I will not get caught.

He never thought it was a Sin.
God was not real to him.
He used it to his advantage,
Against them all to win?

With every text, he asked again and again
Did you send the fees?
Did you receive the Bin?
Do it for us. When I come home, you’ll see
We’ll get married and happy we’ll be.

She stalled and said, No. It’s no hurry.
My priorities are elsewhere, but don’t you worry.
When you come home, it’ll still be there.
You can pay those fees, since you are so aware.

Of the location and the contents.
Why not ask someone else?
I’m sure you know a person you can trust
Otherwise, why would you send it in the mail for us?

I don’t know you that well, she thought.
I suspect it is not legal, and I don’t want to get caught
Up in your scheming lies.

My intuition is screaming, “Girl, don’t you do it.”
This man isn't telling you the truth.
His anger and guilt are all a ruse.
It seems to say that he has a game and other plans at play.

Over and over again, he pleads his case.
How can he love you so much?
So I say, if you can, send me the cash.
Then I’ll pay the fees that you so urgently ask.

He agrees to send a check to make
But I didn’t know that it would be fake
Counterfeit and fraudulent, it would take.

She knew it, and it confirmed what she thought.
He swallowed the bait, and now the evidence is in place.
Although her account was closed
Never did he get the goal he chose.

Be careful of online scammers
That pose like lovers
Always excusing why they can’t
But expecting you to do it over and above.

With lame, phony social media profiles
Faking vulnerability but hiding vile narcissistic personalities
Behind photos and kids
With lies of their jobs, homes, and careers.

Love is too precious to risk at the cost
Of losing finances, home, and sanity.
No man is worth it if he can’t provide,
Up front, the things he asks you to confide.

Walk away, Say No, ghost him if you must!
Leave that chat if there is no trust!
