*huge hugs* Omg, I’m so sorry that happened to you! I’m also extremely glad you posted this… very good information. I think you pretty much covered it, I can’t think of anything else to add. The only thing I’d change is that I think you should ALWAYS bring a friend or someone along with you when meeting someone from online, no matter how close you think you are to the person. Even when meeting one of my best online friends of 5+ years in real life for the first time, I still had Master with me just in case.

Thank you for opening up and sharing this... that took a lot of courage on your part. I hope others will benefit from this thread.
