"Scammers" are individuals that e-mail you, once they have seched the
site. Then after one rplies to their e-meil you will receive one back from them immediatly asking for some money or other finacial or physical assistance in an instant without hestitation. also a good "give-away" on scammers is the wording they use. At times it is very difficult to understand etc. underscoring of names and an immediate e-mail addres included in their bio. It may also contain a phone number also. I hope I got this right? if not maybe some other mebers can elaborate on the subject matter. I hope this answered your question Cystal. All the best Peter1369 |

I daresay say most scammers who prowl dating sites are Nigerians. Am
I being stereotypical? No. I am also a Nigerian and I speak from experience. Other ways they can be spotted are...One, they invariably give their location as the UK. The reason for that is that Uk phone numbers are notoriously easy to acquire through a website called www.uknumbers.com. Two, you'll noever get them to appear on webcam, no matter how much you press, they always have a handy excuse. This is because the pictures appearing on their profile are invariably not real. They are mostly pictures of online models. Three, you can also check the IP Address of their browser to be certain of their location. Hope this explains better...Keep up the reasearch though as these guys are very sophisticated and are always putting in new twists all the time...Thanks, samauthor. |

this one scam inparticular has been around forever but it seems not
everyone has heard it. if someone offers to send you a check or money order for any reason to cash, don't do it. they will usually work a way into the line to make it look like you can keep some of it(free money)but everyone should know by now that there is no such thing as free money |

the last thing I would call those Nigerian scammers is
"sophisticated"... |

About a yr ago I received in the mail a check from China I believe that
was for the amount of 5thousand. It told me to cash the check and then wire the money back to an address. I don't know how they got my address at home but they found a way. I never talk to anyone overseas or that I know of. Anyways I took this check straight to the police dept and found out that it was one made up over the internet. Luckily I didn't fall for it or I could have been charged. |

lucky enough to realize it before it's too late |

Thanks Sam for this input.
I have my own "little" way to check out the "real" deal. yes you are ritht on he Nigiran part. but these that I received originated in Ghana. Oh well tht is besides the point. however though my research on one of them guess where the addres let me to....? The local Federal Building here in Manatee County. Well enough said. and yeah the pictures, U are right on the money on that one!!! Peter1369 |
