Manti Te'o Victim of Romance scam?
"Scam signs"
ATTN GUESTS!!Telling your mugu that he/she is busted will accomplish absolutely nothing but teaching them how to be better at scamming/victimizing, as well as cause other victims unnecessary duress. Unless this is what you hope to cause, do NOT confront them!

Re: Manti Te'o Victim of Romance scam?
I thought a Samoan gay man confessed he was the 'girlfriend', and he did that to have contact with Manti?
Manti did more or less behave the same way a lot of victims of romance scams act...so there are some parallels.
(Lies to family and friends about the relationship, etc)

Never send money to somebody you only know from the internet, or phone calls!
