Topic: What Are Your Big Red Flags... | |
---|---|
Hi Ms (((lilbug)))I pretty much take everything I see online, on tv and in most mass media formats with a grain of salt. I've always had a suspicious nature anyway but sometimes real sincerity shines through... I trust my gut instinces and that always gets me through.

Someone who says I love you way to quickly... Totally creepy, especially when that person hasn't even met me yet |
|
|
|
a red flag for me is when they keep on emailing me wanting to chat or leave 13 emails without me gettin a chance to answer them
|

having kids isnt cool either. jmo.

Annoying IM messages: Widower, one son, living in West Africa, and work for a firm building schools for the poor children here. Anything that comes from the nephew of the Nigerian Minister of Agriculture is probably not a "real" date request. |

my big red flags are about 3'x5'

But....but....I might be african! Don't just rule me out!

Hi Ya (((Aqua)) I agree about gut instincts and mine have help me avoid gettin into jam with someone, but some folks are very skilled at being dishonest, it's hard to see 'em comin. |

Anybody who wants to hurry things along too quickly -- that's a big one. I haven't seen it on this site (because no one is interested in me here!), but I have been on other sites where the sheer level of pushery was unbelievable. People would want me to meet them (at a bar -- please go back and read the profile!) the same night they wrote the first e-mail. Including their phone numbers, addresses, everything. I have gotten to the point where I can now identify a Russian scammer simply from the special style of fractured English they use ("I love would be to more better know your structure"), regardless of which celebrity pic they have in their profile. Anybody who leaves out stuff that is normally included in a profile -- like marital status, kids or not, that sort of thing. I tend to believe people are hiding something. |

Actually, this is the whole point of this thread. Folks are discouraged, frustrated, pizzed off with the dishonesty...we've seen thread after thread about it. This is to share our experiences and a heads-up to the scammers....we're onto you, so knock it the heck off!! |

[quote[this just might give the scammers tips on what not to do and how to improve their modus operandi as well I don't really think so. Sharing information takes their power away. |

But....but....I might be african! Don't just rule me out! Are you a widower with one son? Nephew of a Nigerian Minister of Agriculture? |

true. perhaps i overestimate their intelligence. The way I see it, there's no difference than putting it all here than posting thread after thread about them. |
