Initially, I felt as if a lot of people on this, and other boards, were over-reacting to the MAT saga. But after reading your post (along with the others), I didn't realize the extent of Maria's deception. I'm absolutely horrified that trusting and innocent people were conned out of money, not to mention the telephone harrassment by this obviously unbalanced person. But aside from the Maria episode, I think there's a greater lesson to be learned here, that being to NEVER, EVER let your guard down when it comes to Internet-based relationships. Unfortunately, any number of decent people out there in cyberspace have found this out the hard way, but I agree that, from time to time, it's very important to reiterate what can happen when dealing with strangers online, some of whom just may be very seriously disturbed.
