As a forty-plus single I have recently gone through a learning curve that has left me shaken and feeling vulnerable. I have always consider myself to be pretty savvy and have pride myself in recognising a scam when I see it. I put the phone down quickly when people start asking about surveys and telling me I miss an Amazon collection and click on this link. I am not stupid.However I recently received a message which was apparently from my daughter, so my mothering care kicked in and I was completely taken in by the fact that at that point she needed help and could I pay an account for her. 

Beware of scam all forty singles and stay safe on 121seniordating.com.

My daughter had apparently broken her phone and could not gain access to her bank account and this payment was urgent.  

Stupidly I didn't realise that the scammers always appeal to your emotions and the things that you are most vulnerable too.

In the end after many calls to my bank and freezing my accounts and card access it was sorted but the stress was terrible and has left me feeling shaken, vulnerable and feeling stupid. I now understand that a scam can happen to anyone, even if you are aware and consider yourself world wise!

Dating online  has its own safeguards as you are online for as long as you like but you still need to be aware and not send any money to anyone, even if your emotions are screaming that someone you care about needs help. It is so easy to make a rushed and hasty mistake.The scammers appeal to your weakest link and your kindness and desire to help can overrule your common sense. 

I realise now that even as a forty-plus single who has seen quite a bit of life , every day is a school day and I am wiser and more aware than ever but also realise how vulnerable I am. i live alone so I had no-one to trust that I could turn to and ask, if this all sounded wrong and I miss having a trusted partner who is there to seek advice and be the voice of reason.

Forty-plus dating on 121seniordating.com can bring a trusted person into your life, who could be the voice of reason, who may make you stop pause and think about things. 

I feel stupid and it has affected me mentally and made me realise that I am alone and that I shoulder all the decisions in my life and being with a friendly companion or trusted partner to help shoulder the decisions of life means that I am on 121seniordating.com to find that person who will walk alongside me through this life.
