Elderly Amish Man Caught on Film With Prostitute, Blackmailed
When a 75-year-old Amish widower slept with a prostitute, he -- we feel certain -- felt pretty bad about it the next morning. As if that guilt weren't enough for the old man, the prostitute and her boyfriend demanded $67,000 from him, claiming that they had filmed the scene with wall-mounted cameras and would upload the recording to the Internet. The pair was later arrested and, we can only imagine, the Amish man abhorred technology more than ever.
Bank Robber Gets Away With the Help of Craiglist
In October, a bank robber -- wearing a safety vest, blue shirt, face mask and goggles -- eluded police with the help of Craiglist. Just outside the bank, while the robbery was in progress, stood a group of men who were responding to a Craiglist day labor opportunity. As the advertisement required, they were all wearing safety vests, blue shirts, face masks and goggles.
Nude New Zealander Arrested After Responding to Fake Sexy Text Message
Late in 2007, a Wellington, New Zealand man received a racy text message from two anonymous "ladies," giving him only an address and a request that he show up naked. Well, he indeed showed up naked... at the home of one appalled, unsuspecting New Zealander. Both the nude Romeo and the sadistic texter were arrested, though neither were prosecuted.
Fake Craiglist Ad Costs Man Most of What He Owns
Last Spring, a post appeared on an Oregon Craigslist board stating that the owner of a specific house was leaving all of his worldly possessions (still in said house) to whoever wanted them. When homeowner Robert Salisbury rushed home -- on a tip from a woman suspicious about the offer of a free horse -- he found his house being ransacked by 30 strangers. We suggest he take that horse and collect some vengeance Clint Eastwood-style.
17-Year-Old Jailed for Stealing Virtual 'Furniture'
When a 17-year-old Dutch boy hacked into several accounts on the Second Life-style site 'Habbo' in 2007, the the law got involved. The boy was discovered to have stolen $5,800 worth of virtual furniture and knick-knacks. Apparently, crime -- whether actual or virtual -- does not pay.
Phishers Going After Your Phones in New 'Vishing' Trend
Over the past year, sneaky spammers have begun to forsake the worn-out territory of e-mail in favor of cell phones' fertile frontier. The result? "Vishing." Get it? Voice mail phishing. It might be more ominous if it didn't sound like a James Bond villain saying, "Wishing."
Burglars Break Into Restaurant, Steal HDTV, Leave Money / Food Behind
Around Halloween of last year, a truckload of thieves drove into -- that's right, into -- a Pennsylvania Mexican restaurant, where they -- apparently uninterested in the cash register -- stole a mid-grade 47-inch HDTV and fled the scene. We've all heard about how this generation is lacking in ambition, but this generation's thieves, too?

Sounds like a good plan to me, to avoid the conflict it could have be seeing the person , and then telling them it's over buster! Or it's over lady cheat!

It's about mutual respect, fool. You wouldn't want that to happen to you, right? What goes around do comes around.

what's a 40-year-old man doing dating a 25-year-old anyway?
i bet he has shoes older than her.
chances are, she was trying to BREAK AWAY and he wouldn't have it so she had to send him that impersonal message.
old dudes who cruise for young chicks should realize that these girls rarely really love you -- they just love that loot. young girls want to date men closer to their own age. sure at first an older man may make a girl feel more grown-up and protected, but then, after a while, she realizes that the relationship is irregular and that the man she is dating is just going through a mid-life crisis.
sounds like she had more options.
what is wrong with dating a woman closer to his own age?

and you're an expert how? you offer you OPINION as fact.
there is a huge problem being engaged for marriage, then breaking up via text.
Pamela said 10:21PM on 11-24-2008
Something just doesn't add up. If a person had enough love for a person to get engaged in the first place I don't think that they would decide to just call it off out of the blue like that. There is definitely more to this story....

This woman has zero class in my book. She was engaged to this man and should have handled it much better than a pathetic text message. This is what is wrong with the world today...the total disrespect for other peoples feelings. No wonder nice guys are so insecure and do not believe it when a nice woman tells them she loves them. They have had their feelings trampled over by evil sluts like this chick. She will get her payback eventually.

What a tramp. If I were Boris, I'd film myself having sex with another chick, (preferrably one of her friends) and e-mail it to her.
She has no class and is your typical bimbo who's he's better off
without.

You don't know the whole story. It could have been a heat of the moment text where she was upset at him. I'm sure that they spoke about it at first or he did something horrible. you dont' know the whole story. I broke up with someone through email and I didn't even want to. I just got upset over something stupid.

You THINK you have a classy approach? Think again! I agree that there's more to the story but no one should be text messaged about breaking an Engagement! If it's infidelity, better finding out now...rather than later!

While there are still women out there with tons of class, it's just there are more and more women out there who have none, who are only out for themselves in every way possible. This doesn't surprise me one bit today. A true lady would brake up in person giving the kind of respect the other deserves, even if the other has done something terrible in which a brake up is going to happen. Fact is, people know when a brake up is about to happen or at least have a good idea. That is, if people are honest with themselves. But to end it over the phone and now "text messages" is really a coward filled with anything but class. People who do cowardly things such as this at other people expense will no doubt get what is coming to them one day. If you're big enough to get involved with another then your big enough to get uninvolved with that same person...at least you should be!

That sucks I was done the same way. A guy who I was seeing and who told me I was the sweetest, niceset, sexiest most understanding girl he ever had in his life told me after not calling me for a few dayS In a text" OH WELL ME AND MY EX HAVE BEEN HANGING OUT AGAIN" Then he had the nerve to wait 2 weeks to call me and say he was sorry about the way things turned out and I was a really good friend to him when he needed it and could I ever forgive him? Cause he didnt want to lose me as a friend. What an A** !!! I simply texted him You lost me the day u sent the text ..... have a great life.

Breaking up via text message is not only immature it is tacky. If you supposedly "love" someone to the point that you agreed to marry them than you owe that person more than a text message plain and simple.

To the one who said "If a person has enough to love to get engaged in the first place and why break up, something must be up...." your right, but not what you think. Women REGULARLY PRETEND to be in love with men, will get engaged and marry them for NOTHING but his money or status or simply so that they can say "I'm married and your not" to their friends.
Most men have NO CLUE of the coldness, shallowness and downright evil that too many women are capable of, all while putting on a big smile, saying I love you honey, darling, sweetheart and such for months and years while the WHOLE time she is completely faking it.
That is why the minute many men lose their job or another man comes along that is "better" aka the B.B.D...Bigger Better Deal, women will dump you and get rid of you without another thought like a used paper plate that they just used to eat off of and go and screw and marry another man without a single thoughr for the man, his feelings in the matter or anything else.
And women say men are cold. Sure, men will have sex with a few times then leave and not call, but that is faaaaaaaaar more merciful and better than pretending to be happyily in love, getting engaged or married, having kids then divorcing the man and walking away from him as if you just met him 30 seconds ago without a single thought about his feelings or the kids. At least HE never pretended to be in love with you while he was sexing you up, though he may have said it and even thought he was at the time.
And no, I was never married and this did not happen to me ladies which I know is what 90% of you are thinking. This is how most of you in the west are to a greater or lesser degree.

Rlch: ::::BULLCRAP. That's a two-way street. Every single marriage that I personally know of that has broken up, has been because the man cheated on his wife. We wait on you guys hand and foot, have your kids, work alongside of you....and at the first sign of a wrinkle, extra pound, gray hair, etc.........you suddenly forget your vows and it's on to greener (younger) pastures without so much as a backward glance. I'm one of the lucky ones......I've been married to my high school sweetheart for 26 years and I'm blessed that we're also best friends. I married him when he had nothing and worked alongside of him to build what we have today. Never would I jeopardize losing my best friend nor could I ever stoop so low as to hurt him so callously as you described. Not all women are money-grubbing bit*hes, just as not all men are cheating jerks. Also, what did you mean by us "Western women"? I take it that you're not American or something? Or just that you're obsessed with women as long as they *aren't* American. Let me tell you, as an ex-Army wife, I have seen plenty of "foreign" women (won't specify) drop their husbands and hook up with someone else who could give them more "bling", so it's not just "western" women who supposedly do this.
