I don't even blame people who do this stuff. They know exactly who to target. Fats are so desperate for any kind of validation that they will enter into "relationships" that are, to any half-witted observer, obvious green card/money scams. I don't blame a scammer for taking advantage of what is essentially a willing pawn.  Isn't this the guy who, upon seeing his "girlfriend" get off the plane, said "You're larger than I was expecting?" (Or something to that effect)?
