A challenge to the board (Sucess vs. Scams)

[soltero]

Just curious and trying to be objective. How about a collective post per members in the know tallying their personal knowledge of success stories and scams. Not prejudicial towards the Colombianas or other mujeres, but from all sides. If one of them has gotten taken, it is just as valid. I just want to see if it evens out. Bear in mind that to get taken is ultimately the responsibility of the person being used, because for what ever reason they allowed it to happen, but the reverse of this is that people who have character pass over those they consider to be naive or ignorant or at least try to help them instead of take advantage of them. What do you say?

My ex Colombian wife definitely wanted to live in the United States and I let her use me.  She really didn't have to lie or scam (except when she pretended to be interested in me.  It was largely a case of ignoring obvious red flags.  

My guess is it's about 50-50.  there are some great Colombian women but you need to be patient, selective and not ignore red flags.
