Question Author
That's very true, Ice.Maiden, he did comfort a lot of people. It must surely make you curious though, once you have read all the posts on this thread? At the beginning of it I was certain he was genuine. Other people's thoughts on him certainly made me think twice.
Can't say I saw the post where he was asking for cash, but if I had, alarm bells would have started to ring for me. If he is a conman, he is one heck of a clever guy.
In a way I kind of feel sorry for him, because if he does turn out to be genuine, imagine how he will feel when he sees all this stuff written about him on here. Sort of makes me feel uncomfortable (and before anyone says it, I know I shouldn't have asked the question, but you know how it is on Answerbank, you get drawn into it - hubby's threatening to divorce me if I don't start going to bed at a reasonable hour!)
