 I gotta say, when Mark first told me about Lottie, I had questions too. Like I wondered, was my friend now a bonafide romance scammer or something? Because it is true that the way that he was looking for love gave him the silhouette of a romance scammer. Scammers ask people questions about their personal life, send sweet messages. They try to earn trust before stealing your money and disappearing. But what Mark was telling me about his relationship made me believe that this wasn't that.
