Breaking banks as well as hearts
Rushda:
January 31st, 2007
A woman has just been jailed for two years for conning men she met over internet dating sites for thousands of pounds. Emma Golightly would use her victims’ credit cards without them knowing to fund her lavish lifestyles (which included amongst other things holidays, shoes and fast cars). In one case she even told a man she had terminal cancer so that he would feel sorry enough for her to marry her. She then took him on a ‘honeymoon’ spending collosal amounts on his own credit card whilst he was completely oblivious. I am so glad she finally got caught but I feel incredibly sorry for the men she cheated. They were no doubt already lonely and vulnerable, and she just went and stole more than just their hearts.
