I am with rocking chair on this one. Your instincts told you something wasn’t right, you followed through on them, and now you are better off because of it. That is what I call a victory for the good guys.
Ginger, sorry you had to run into my ex-husband like that. I hope you kicked him in the balls for me.
Trust that woman’s intuition!

You realize, of course, that Tripler will probably desert just to be with you, and with him will go our chances at winning the war. And it will all be your fault. 
I only wish that were true, Muffin. I haven’t heard from him since the US military started blowing stuff up 
…And all that because you found out he wasn’t REALLY a DJ? <g,d,r>
This sucks. HE sucks.
But never feel guilty for protecting yourself. Guys like this prey on people’s guilt.
I’m with Muffin. Change the locks, close the accounts, remove all the risks you can.
Then go treat yourself.
The line of available suitors forms to the left. One at a time, gentlemen, please!
Quite frankly, I don’t know what to say, “Sorry that it happened to you” or “Good for you, your sensors are up and running”. A little bit of both I guess (choose which part you want to emphasize and you can change your mind any time you want, as often as you want). However, lots of good advice is being provided in this thread and I’m happy to be here to help if needed.
Your friend Dick
Coupla thoughts from a broad who has been around the block a few times:
As has been pointed out, you were hardly a complete fool–you ran the check, didn’t you?
And as far as “flaws” go, being trusting and taking people at face value and believing in them is hardly a trait one should have to apologize for. Better to get burned a few times for this tendency, IMHO, then to be a distrustful misanthrope who never gets to know all the truly fantastic people in the world.
This whole thing says volumes about him. He sounds pathetic, and I pity him.
All this, and he’s probably underinsured too…
The bastard!
Hey Ginger. I don’t know how old you are, your background, or what you do for a living. Something inside said that this was wrong. You thought… then acted. CONGRATS on the call. You know guys can be “difficult”. As everyone has said, keep looking for the right ones. We are out there 
Bid on this using his name.
Sorry this happened to you, but glad that you found out sooner rather than later.

Christ! Ginger, you flirted with me when I was but a wee newbie on this board (even sent me an e-mail [sub]which I still have[/sub]) and was totally bummed out about some female that had given me the royal screwing, and now here you are, in a shitty situation yourself. Damn, girl, you’re a major, major, babe, and any asshole who doesn’t worship the ground you walk on isn’t fit to be called human. My parents bitch at me constantly that I’m not married (Oh yeah, like I really wanted to be 32 [sub]almost 33[/sub], and still screwing my hand! :rolleyes: ), when the simple fact is that all the really cool women are too far away for me to even have a chance at dating 'em. Ya ever get to this part of the States, look me up, and I’ll do my best to show you a good time and make you forget about bozo.
Just wanted to chime in with a “me, too” for being sorry that this person was so astonishingly dishonest with your trust. So much for all Canadians being nice, eh?
(Uh, Tuck, just a thought, but if you ever want a real woman, maybe you should stop talking about “screwing your hand”. Maybe institute a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy on that.:D)
Ginger I’m sorry you were treated this way.
What should I say? That I’ve got a blowup doll? (No, I don’t, damn it! I’d pay for it first!) And really, that’s more polite than how I usually put it. Besides, its not like you ladies don’t do something similar. (Or so I’m told. )
I’m afraid I don’t even know what this means.
Thank you for your kind words, everyone. I honestly have not been overly upset about this, not sad, just mad. Really mad. Mad like if-he-was-in-front-of-me-now-I-would-step-on-his-neck mad.
I started to tear up a bit when I read My Gay Boyfriend[sup]TM[/sup]'s and rocking chair’s posts. I’m sure the anger will give way to sadness, yadda yadda, but right now I’m just pissed.
It was looking like fate. I’ve already had a background check so I’m clear. I’ve never impersonated a DJ. I have insurance. I’m half-Canadian so I already speak the language, eh. I’m all set to make my move when I see this…
The age issue. I’m nine years older than Ginger. I’d be a triple numpty.
Ginger, that’s horrible. I’m sorry.
It’s not that he’s eight years older than me, it’s that he told me he he was five years older than me. This just makes less and less sense the longer I think about it.
So, it’s a new day. Was that line on the left? Who’s next?
