When I went to Colombia for the first time,I left my colombian girlfriend $1200.00 canadian dollars.
She put the money in a bank account.
Shortly afther she got denied for a tourist visa to come to Canada.
She took off for 3 weeks for hollidays and never called me.
When she returned she cried on the phone and told me the money got stolen out of the bank account In Santa Rosa (De cabal)by a computer hacker.
I've been reading all the topics on this website,but never see anything about this (makes me worried)
I would like to know if this is possible or not that somebody can go in your account that easily

manu1999 says on Jan 23, 2007, 10:34: why don't you get in contact with the bank yourself and ask how such a thing could occur... then you'll find out whether the funds were wired out by a hacker, or whether the funds were withdrawn by your girlfriend en cualquier lugar.

englishsettler says on Jan 23, 2007, 12:46: this is life, she stole money from you.......dont even bother to contact the bank.....do the best thing you can possibly do, dont pick up her calls, get on with your life and have the ultimate revenge and be happy with someone else. Better to find out she is a useless, lying cow now, than to find out 5 months after youve married her. $1200 is a cheap way to find out what could have been an expensive lesson. Bad luck my friend, could have happened to any of us on here.

miamimike says on Jan 23, 2007, 13:00: Another Good Reason NOT to leave money In with Someone (woman in Colombia)when you aren't there to control the purse strings or if you don't know her real real well. This goes for sending Money also. Amazing with all the stories where American Guys send Money to Col Women and then get taken for a Ride or dumped yet they continue to fall for the sob stories(my mom is sick and needs a nurse- lol) and get taken in spite of all the posts here where guys lost their $$. This is Big Big Mistake and you almost always lose in the end. Sorry to hear of your bad luck. Better to find out she is a Crook sooner then later. My Buddy brought a Caleña to his Home 8 years here in Florida and she also cleaned him out of his Gold Jewelry and other Gold Collectables he had displayed in the house. The Gold Jewelry she swiped was hid in an overhead Ceiling AC Duct in his Den(before she came) so she was a real pro. He lost over $7000-$10000(1999 gold market prices) to her, more by today's High Gold Prices. He also had some some cheap gold plated items in the same Hidden Box where he had the 18K items but she being the consumate pro she was, left the cheap fools gold items, LOL She knew the Difference, I'll give her that! She worked fast to find the Items in the place where he stashed them! SHe was a Hacker also! LOL My Avatar-- Sarah Palin Says " "You know the difference between a pit bull and a hockey mom??

But I don't think too many Colombian dudes will be writing songs about $1200 USD or CAD lost over a woman's scam. Gringos have the market on that one!!!! Gotta love CAPITALISM!!!!

englishsettler says on Jan 23, 2007, 13:37: give him a break guys........he may have been in love with her ( he clearly was) and he made a bad mistake. Sure, now he cant dare believe her bullshite but hes just wanting to believe she isnt lying when it is clear to all us she is. Ok, i havent read the other thread but cant believe he actually believes her unless he is a total deluded.

Lisa Zee says on Jan 23, 2007, 19:56: I think most guys, are just buying "S". I say how can you really know a person in the internet???. You guys go to Colombia and buy a wife after just weeks of meeting them? then you act surprised because she takes off with other guy that takes her dancing, speaks her language and does the things that she was used to in Colombia, and you don't,'cose you are from a VERY different culture, and education level. Marriage is a difficult thing. I guess you get a "p" if you pay for her. Wake up guys.
