Recently, a thoughtful member of EOPC told us about Internet Love Scams: a website with a forum for victims of internet "love scams."
Sounds great! The more the merrier!! There are all sorts of love scams. Financial, sexual, emotional. Lets get the word out.... but wait!
Additionally, one of our members was told after she posted her story that it was 'slander' and she'd would be banned if she posted it again. The word "lawsuit" was thrown around by a couple moderators to this member/victim.
Excuse us, but EOPC has done a LOT of research and discussion with legal authorities. (Please check the left margin of this site for information on Slander & Defamation. )This member was very aware of what slander was.
Our victims were manipulated and deceived. Cyberpaths are traitors of the worst kind - traitors of the heart, the mind and most of all OUR TRUST!
So... HUH!? EOPC's victims seem to fit their site's title: "Internet Love Scams." But nooooo, their site was for apparently only people scammed by Nigerian Scammers or 419 scammers. Just one sort of scam. The "scams" on EOPC didn't fit the parameters of their site. Fine. However, implying one of our members/victims was slanderous and also calling this site and our content "digusting" is a bit... JUDGMENTAL?
There are many advocates out there. We applaud them all - but your victims of "love scams" are not more or less valid than ours.
If getting out information and support for those who have been emotionally & mentally raped, cyberstalked, used and abused by a Cyberpath is "disgusting" then EOPC is GLAD to be disgusting. Our victims are NOT less valid because they didn't send money to some Nigerian or 419 scammer. Different, yes. Disgusting? We think not.
Too bad these people couldn't see the strength in working together.
Please avoid that site, members & readers.
Unbelievable. EOPC is disgusting? What is wrong with these people? Slander? Now that is laughable. Thank you for posting this, Fighter, and for the heads up. I went to their site and they are posting addresses of Nigerian and 419 scammers. What is the difference between outing them and outing predators and cyberpaths? I guess this bunch thinks Perverted Justice is disgusting too.
ReplyDeleteToo many idiots in the world...
These people are nuts. I applaud what they are doing, but to call the good work that you are doing disgusting...I just don't get it.
