#13 online scams + schemes

Online scams and schemes are a very scary thing and very uncertain. People on tumblr a lot meet online talk a bit and somehow get into a long distance relationship I dont understand this fully because you cant actually physically hold hands, go on dates, cuddle or kiss that person. How can you say you love someone if you've never met them? I get that people fall in love with personalities but what if its a scam and that person is fake? There has recently been a new tv show called catfish all about scams and schemes of people who have fallen in love with people they've never met and so far all of them have turned out to be fakes. These people have invested 4months + emotionally they are "in love" with the physical attractions and personalities of these people. Once finding out that they're fake all of them have left. I feel really bad for these people but yet its extremely fascinating that its reality and a huge internet trend. I think this will continue to happen for as long as the internet lives.
