Getting a freebie through lies is despicable, IMHO, but mongering is a business like every other. Actually, it is more dangerous because of the level of intimacy between traders. You proceed with the transactions as your morals allow. And, like business, greed often leads to bad consequences.
If a WG falls for a cheating mongerer, it's technically her fault. Yes, she may be innocent and naive to do so, but after working in the industry, i doubt you can survive without wising up. I'm sure we've all been ripped off before.
However, she may try to cheat mongerers in return. And not all mongerers are worldly and educated.
It becomes a vicious cycle there is less and less trust in the industry, but the dilema lies in the fact that if we want more security, we may have to give up certain freedoms. Personally, I quite like GFE's and going on dates with WG's here and there (all payed for).
Anyway, cheating your way to a freebie is like conning someone. And it will come full circle back to you.
