Given that they fell in love with someone they'd never met IRL, I'd say no.

"this may have been answered before, but, would as many of the ilx guys that she scammed have fallen for it if the pics she had posted were of a more average-looking woman?"
How many ILX guys did she scam again? Are we counting receiving cuff links and cookies as being scammed?

it's just that someone's post upthread about how she was a "twee" and mostly "content-free" poster made me wonder whether that led people to project things onto her, as opposed to it being just about the (fictitious) hotness

xp - maybe "taken in by" is more of what I'm going for than "scammed" ?

what if Luna's husband is a bear
From the photos I've seen (mostly of the dogs w/him in the background) and what she's told me, he's a big guy.

Like I said, I figured the pics weren't her early on. She had a good, smart, funny personality. The people who complained about her online personality have pretty much universally shitty online personalities imo, so in the eye of the beholder for that.

it's true, she was a pretty great person compared to us lugs.

Not even sure if she scammed me, though it's likely that she did. She caught me at a vulnerable time (my marriage was falling apart) and I wanted to help her as much as I could (I was worried about her son, mostly), I guess to make up for not being able to keep my relationship intact. Wasn't a lot of money. The whole experience did indeed cause me to mistrust everyone on the board except for the few people that I'd met in real life and the stress got to me so badly that I had a meltdown on here a few years ago, which was completely ridiculous. Can't remember exactly who called me a dick (Chaki, ironically, is my best guess) but they weren't wrong. I lurk now in shame and it's really for the best as I never really had much to contribute anyway except the occasional joke.

*catches upi heard about this most egregious crime of luna's a few months ago and it is actually alluded to on the original luna outing thread! although in very vague terms. the person she scammed for a large amount fwiw always said they knew what she really looked like and did not care, even as the original scandal happened.
having seen real (?) pics of luna i wonder why she chose to use fake pics at all. a normal-looking gal, definitely not a man or gross or w/e. also wonder why she "targeted" ilx?

you've seen her! only pic she showed me that I thought was real was of her as lil kid
