More Description"he/HIM/his" is a teaching memoir created to bring awareness to other seniors regarding the internet rampage of "stalkers, scammers and catfishers." 5.8 Billion persons reportedly were scammed in 2021 alone.

I opened my heart to someone who was setting me up to be scammed. he was believable down to the very last minute that he wasn't!

Can you imagine thinking you were going to spend the last chapter of your life with someone and then realizing they were a completely different person and a criminal to boot? The memories haunted me. I knew I had to share my experience so others could avoid the fear, the sleepless nights, and the PTSD I experienced. "You are the woman of my dreams," became could you send just me $1,000.00?.
