B9 it is like you are trying to shame people for not being scammed. WTF is up with that? You are helping set the ground work for further scams by shaming the skeptics and you should be ashamed with yourself for helping thieves and liars who help wrench cash from the poor, disabled, and the naive and not give one s**t about it. Your attitude is like You do not care if other people get scammed just so long as you can make it look like you are good caring person so what if that poor person goes without while the scammers have fun with their cash just so as you can feel better for being scammed. Then when people call you on it you try to make the skeptics who are warning people to save them from being robbed look like the bad guys.

I've just been reading some of seanmw's older posts, trying to work out how much this was planned, if at all, as a scam, and how much simply "evolved" out of seanmw's circumstances and our reactions to his posts about his situation.

I am fairly sure that it wasn't as "innocent" a series of events/actions on seanmw's part as a couple of people have suggested, ie. that he believed his gf's story and has now, having understood that the cancer story was a fake, simply sunk into a state of cynical nihilism about life in which he thinks he might aswell keep the money we sent, ( though this is not a totally impossible explanation ).

Back in January of this year he told someone in a thread that he had nearly saved up enough money to visit her. In May he said that he wanted to but didn't have the money.

In the first week of July, just 9 days before he told us about her potentially cancerous tumour, he posted this thread ... : "Question to those living on disability" in which he described passionately, ( and with extensive arguments attacking govt policy, on page 2 of the thread ), the difficulty that he was having living on benefits: ... http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt130799.html .

Earlier in the year he said on a thread that he only had $40/month left over after paying his rent, but more recently he said that he only had $6/month left over.

He *appears* to have been suffering from increasingly dire financial straits, especially considering that soon after he joined last year he described the joys of living in/near Seattle, giving one or two dollars to musically inclined homeless people, popping into the different kinds of restaurant and trying out the menus, wandering around the markets, etc, and refers on several occasions elsewhere to seeing films at the cinema, ... none of which sound as if he was ( used to being ) strapped for cash.

Sean Michael Wilson sounds very worried about money and sick girlfriends on his Facebook page ( ... NOT ! !! ):

Hmm I do remember when he first joined he said the w at the end of his username was just because he thought the w looked cool next to the m. That's a strange detail to remember I know but I have no more excuses left for my brain. I don't see an Adrienne on his friends list either. Hmm again.

Friends list maybe it should read finacial supporter list.

to be honest i don't think a persons posting history justifies them to do things like this. i don't have too much energy to most of what has been written, but im thankful for the people on here to don't want to let scams like this be kicked under the rug at WP.

to b9: what you said about me only wanting to exhibit the admirable characteristics of ASD is hilarious. i really don't want to get too much into it since i dont feel the need to defend myself and i already feel that you have targeted my diagnosis status on my profile (my lack of diagnoses). btw, there's a difference between having compassion/helping out genuine people, and being flat-out stupid. do what you want with your money, we all know you did it because you want to feel better about yourself and look good to everyone, and not because you actually cared about the cause. if you actually cared about the principle, you would not feel the need to post the amount that you donated, and brag about how it only took you two hours to earn that sum of money. if sean's motivations were indeed genuine then i would truly be apologetic. especially since he writes about having such a tough time in life and struggles to afford basic things.

Todesking: thank you for trying to help b9 see a different perspective on this situation
ounion: nice detective work . very interesting.

have a good day everyone, and a very good weekend.

PS. It occurs to me that maybe the only reason why he couldn't play the same game on his Facebook page is that two of his sisters and one of his brothers ( and an awful lot of his college/high school friends too ), are on his Facebook friends list.
