who writes to prisoners?

I too thought that writing to prison inmates was the thing to do. Bring them a little cheer. Since then I have been lied to, cheated on, scammed and left with a big phone bill. Enough is enough. Never again !

What happened?

Hey Maggie..
My first time writing to a pp and I was brand new, did not know what to be wary of. Before too long he starts telling me how much he loves me and writes to only one other pp but ended it.
Then he said that because I was the "only one" that I needed to deposit $$ to his acct. for things he needed. $400. right then and then $$ every month.
I then read at a forum that someone else was writing to him and they were engaged.
Long story short he had alot of women and was feeding them all the same BS. Had ads at 5 pp sites. Absolutely everything that he had told me was a lie. He is a con artist and I found out only after I fell in love with him.
Worse yet I told him not to write and he did anyway. He was issued a no contact order and then had other pp's send his letters to me. Again asking for $$. Even sent me deposit slips. More BS. I was told that if there were more letters to send them to the Warden so in desperation I did. Don't know the outcome yet on that.
Meantime a friend gave me the name of a man who was seeking a pp. I wrote and he wrote back and he seems really nice. I checked his DOC record and googled him and checked pp ads. Only at one. So I have not given up, just had a horrrible 1st experience. But I am not a quitter.......
