WP members GF ill with cancer

Post Reply New Topic

Hmm, I didn't expect it to go this way... I was just trying to find Sean (A stranger, but also one we sort of know and has finally found luck (hopefully) with a girl) Plane funds so he could meet this girl in case she actually IS dying... not paying for a strangers medical funds.

After reading what you said, they still don't look that similar but i think its because in the first pic she isn't smiling... would need more to tell.

I can believe that someone on the autism spectrum could have completely misheard, misunderstood, misinterpreted, and misrepresented his long-distance girlfriend of 7 months telling him that she has stomach cancer, such that he tells everybody that she has a brain tumour and when pressed for more details his story sounds like something out of very bad soap opera! ( because I have done this sort of thing myself in the past, with very emotionally loaded data, and it *is* horribly embarrassing! ), but I still don't believe that her story holds up:

She has a bad headache from 8-11 July and goes to the doctor, who apparently tells her within a couple of days that she has a tumour, a possibly cancerous one, in her stomach. ... ... ... ???

But on the other hand perhaps she has been going to the doctor for weeks or months, and experiencing dozens of chronic health problems that we know nothing about ( classic vomiting, diarrheoa or constipation, chronic indigestion, anaemia, pain in upper-abdomen, etc ... *headaches not listed as a symptom though* ) ... because sean didn't clearly hear/take in her telling him. ...

... Or is she switching stories just to see how many inconsistencies he will stomach? ...

Aaarrghhh ! !! ... tears hair over the unresolvable endlessly revolving possible scenarios here ...

We need more data!! ! As Sherlock Holmes would say "it is a capital error to theorise in the absence of data".

Sean, I believe that you are on the spectrum! :lol But I don't know what to think about your girlfriend.

Best wishes with everything anyway.

There are kids who try to run away who use a similar scam they go on kid sites where they know peadaphiles go to tell them they are a cute 13 year old send them some pictures pulled from some kids website and ask for a plane ticket to come visit them. The pedophile is afraid to go to the police because they have to explain why they sent a 13 yearold girl a plane ticket.

Having your back story all twisted is a sure sign the scammer does not run a tight game. They are either stupid or this is their first scam. I am not saying Sean is the scammer perhaps the scammer got their story mixed up since they are running multiple scams and Sean is just repeating what he is being told.

Oooo, the left is cuter. I take the left, you take the right.


Wait, they 're the same girl??? O_O

She is ....she is....A TRANSFORMER!!

I bet she's a Decepticon.

Sean, if your running a scam someone could easily get your address from ahopeforadrienne.webs.com/ and see where you are running it from and get your name from one of those who is ip checkers. I am not saying your a scammer but its real easy to find out where you are running it from.

If you are being scammed by someone you may be implicated along with them even if they are using you like a patsy or a scapegoat.

Do you know you are asking for money from people who likely do not make much money? I know I certainly do not. Many (Not all) of these people are on some form of government assisstance and are scrapping by. The $20.00 some person might send you could have gone for some medicine or doctor co-pay. Perhaps they could have used that money to buy something extra to make their life a little better or easier. You are sounding pretty selfish to ask these people for money to visit someone who you really do not know exists. I hope you can live with yourself after taking these people's money if it turns out to be a scam or a hoax. I know I would not be proud of myself if I did it.

Todesking: None of this was sean's idea. I think that he genuinely believes that the girl he has been communicating with is very ill, and one of his friends on WP thought that he could maybe get help with the plane fare to see her.

I don't think that he is being selfish; he probably wouldn't want anyone to send money who couldn't afford to. I hope that noone would donate, at this stage of uncertainty, if they couldn't afford to.

The problem is that his version of events is so garbled, so inconsistent, that most of us don't know what to believe, there simply isn't enough reliable data to go on. But even his inconsistency is very aspie; I know what it feels like to have got the wrong end of the stick like he seems to have done.

I wish that there was some way of confirming her story, or at least debunking it definitively, because it's very painful not to know if it's true or not. It's sad to think that we may be withholding the help that we could be giving ( to someone genuine to see someone else genuine that they care about ) because so many of us have been burned in the past by our own tendencies to gullibility and certain other peoples' tendency to take advantage of this.

What appear to be holes in her story may be the result of not only his aspie incoherence on the subject, but of her, ( according to his website ) being aspie too, and therefore perhaps equally unable to take in and relay accurate information in what is, if true, such an emotionally challenging situation.

On the face of it her story seems not very credible ( at all ). But it could be that we are missing crucial bits of info. That's the hard part, for us.

I'm not sure what would be worse; finding out that the girl is faking the illness, and what that would mean ( to sean ) about her, the "relationship", etc, or finding out that she is telling the truth, and may ( if Wiki's page on stomach cancer is anything to go by ) die in the next year or two. Probably the latter, thinking about it. As such I wonder if I am actually hoping that she is scamming, because it would be less sad.

I hope that this can be clarified soon. Good idea, sean, to get the mother's tel number.
