Hopefully not, the truth is, this site is probably 90% male and an easy target for scamming gullible guys. "She" (it is just as likely Tonya was a man) may have targeted this site, knowing she might get some poor guy to maybe fork over some money, to "Help her through school" or some other such ploy. "She" appears, according to her 2nd post, to have been hit with a barrage of pm's just after her first post.
Oprah just aired a show about internet scams, including what they call romance scams,
here is a whole site devoted to just these! They usually create a persona, like a student, and new to the country, that gives them a vulnerability (and if Tonya is actually in another country like Nigeria, it helps mask her/his language problems) and the pics, often look like the are professionally taken and are of very attractive people.
Anyway, I am glad y'all found her out and
hope that no one has been or is being hustled...
if anyone has been contacted by this scammer and thinks they are extra special and we are all wrong.... Well you may be, but not in the way you think!
