Eva meets a man online who states that he is a 42 year old, divorced man living in California. They develop a relationship and soon fall in love. The man even sends Eva flowers and gifts purchased with stolen credit cards in order to gain her trust. Eventually, the man creates some type of emergency scenario to con Eva into wiring him money. He states he has fallen ill, was unjustly arrested or just needs money for an airplane ticket to meet her. After milking Eva for all her money the man breaks off the relationship. Eva has been snished. Canadian and Nigerian scams artists even use christian networking sites and pose as missionaries in snishing attacks.
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
