My father's lost (from my estimates) about $350K from a christianmingle.com scam. It's wrecked his life, both financially. He went from living in a very nice apartment in a very nice part of Munich to living in a crappy place close to the slums of Calais. I'm estranged from him, so I haven't been able to talk him out of anything, but I doubt I could have anyway. My brother's snooped on his email and IMs for the last few years. These guys are really, really good at what they do.
I wonder at what point the services which let this happen become at least in part responsible. I contacted christianmingle.com and never got any response.
