The first guy I dated after my husband died was just interested in my money. I found that out just in the nick of time.

Differing is a good and healthy thing, but my red flag went up immediately.
How did the perp know you had the money to be "interested in" to begin with? Please don't say "appearances".

He said that he was "volunteering" at the kennel where I boarded my two dogs. I had an $800.00 boarding bill because I was away a long time. Also, I was driving an expensive car.

I found out later that he used the computer to look up the value of not only my property, but that of my mother.

In addition, his employer called me afterward to warn me. He had tried to get involved with other widows who used her kennel.

The final reason is that his previous girlfriend called me and told me that she had been supporting him for two years. They had dated in college and when she was divorcing an abusive husband, she asked him to help her. Oh, and he said he was a Marine Captain. I guess she thought he could protect her. Anyway, she found out that he had not held a job since the 1970's. She made him take the job at the kennel because he was doing absolutely nothing while she was working all day.

Satisfied? I don't go around talking about how much money I have or do not have if that is what you are implying. I am not a rich woman, but to someone who had not had a job in the past 30 years, I guess it would appear that I have "enough" money.
