That is what I did and I felt good about it.
I'm not looking for anything in return...not even romance.
I found a young girl who lost her job and after exchanging several emails I thought her needs were genuine and I could do something to help.
I sent $500 in January...She sent email everyday that month and I got to know her quite well.
She's not a BG....I believe her.
She sent a picture of herself and ....really ...fact is she is just a plain girl...I don't think she could be a BG.
What she really wanted to do was go back to school and get a degree.
I agreed to help her do this for the next four years.
I have owned a plastic fabricating business in Canada for more than twenty years. I think I have learned to be a good judge of character and
although I'm a trusting person by nature I seldom get ripped off.
I believe this girl is genuine.
Now ...here's the problem...and I'm really worried about this.
Near the end Of January I sent a digital camera that I don't use anymore. She was really excited about it and wanted to send me a lot of pictures
of Phuket.
On the first of Feb. I wired another $500.
I haven't heard from her since!
I can track the money transfer and the Canada post delivery of the camera...they were both picked up Feb. 2nd.
I have her cell phone # . I have called several time and no one answers.
All this makes no sense...
If I am totally wrong about her and she is really a lady boy or something why would she disappear?
I would have kept sending money every month for the next four years.
I don't know what to do!
On one hand I would hate to find out that I have been tricked by someone who was just dishonest.
But what if something happened to her and I have no way of knowing.
I am really troubled by this....I can't sleep at night.
Any suggestions?

Text her saying you want to know how much more she needs, i'm sure she'll get back to you.
