I meet unexpectedly the fraud when i want to look for the language partner on the italki
I meet unexpectedly the fraud when i want to look for the language partner on the italki. i still couldn't believe that this kind of thing happen on myself. i add one firend i look for through the italki. i only want to practice English with him. i usually talk with him by the wechat. He told me that he want to look for girl friend and he is from irish. He talk with me about two weeks.then He said he would come to China and meet me. He also gave me some his photos that he looks handsome. then he asked me to tell him my address because he wanted to come to China and met me.But i feel it is impossible for one person to meet me even it is so far and you never see this man. so i don't tell him. i wanted to have a video with him.he said he is working in a ship and couldn't use because they have monitoring .I also believed that. He always said i hate him because i don't want him to visit me. Sometime I felt a little sorry and didn't know how to say.
Things had some change which happened a few days ago. one day i received one message from one woman in the facebook.She said the man i add in the facebook is fraud .she has be cheated and lost some money. She also told me that don't believe any words that man have said.All the word he said is for the money . I know the bad cheat that fraud use through talking with the woman.the fraud get the woman's address .then the fraud send some luggage to the woman.At the same time he said he need to clear customs and want to borrow some money .he also send receipt to the woman to let her believe him. At last ,the woman was be cheated. 
Now i know the reason why the fraud always ask me my address.It's lucky that i don't lose any money.but i am surprise that i meet fraud from forigners. i also angry that i was utilized . it's ridiculous that i believe this love word from one fraud. i am so stupid.😱😱😱 In a word,It is experience to teach me.😷😷😷

Trust is something that a person must earn.

That means that if you want to be my friend and you want me to trust you, then I must know you in person, for a long time (years), and I must have many experiences with you (experiences that prove you were always honest with me).

Then I can trust you.

We should not completely trust anyone that we meet on the internet... these people are strangers.

I'm glad you did not trust the bad man (and you need to know that there are some bad men in every country).

Well, yes, there is a lot of scammers in the world... But. May I be the Devil's attorney for a short time?)) You said that he asked your address after only two weeks. I agree, it's actually looks very suspiciously. But the letter from a stranger woman in the Facebook, whom you've never met, looks no less suspicious. How did that woman find your Facebook account? Can it be so that woman is just very jealous person, and she's going to get him married? And she sent you a message with bad charges about him, and in this way she "killed two hares": hers fiance talks to nobody in the Italki, and his Chinese girlfriend now really hates him. Now, he has got no way but to marry her.  Huh, what do you think about it?)))

Hi, katie. Thank you for sharing. Yes. A lot of scams. I used to recieve Language partner who claimed he worked as a soilder or a self employed contractor. The scammers purpose to cheat money. Be careful with your personal information. You can report and block him in italki website.
