I'm with you on this. When I get one I respond as a cop from the fraud division, etc. Seemed to simmer things down for awhile. What gets me is when they scam on craigslist under the JOBS category. When you're looking for work and they have a phoney job posted I think that's pretty crappy to do to folks looking for genuine work. Grrrr! ![]() i got a email awhile back it was on a job, it was a furniture shop here in town. but i guess they werent wise enough that i would call the company and let them know. |

Here is my thought for the day. If we all collectively started to send e-mails to the addresses sending phony e-mails to us we would fill thier mailboxes up to the point to where they wouldn't want to waste thier time sorting the fake from the real ones. We could have fun with it too, by using slang we just made up and English so poor that they'll think thier English is worse than it really is. I'm down for writing a few smartarse e-mails a day to people who deserve them. What do y'all think. If you really want to know , you can trace the emails back to the original sender and find the location where it came from. Many of the "overseas" scam mail comes right here within USA. Fact. The two I've gotten both used horrible English. No ****.. ![]() This would at least clog thier Mingle mailbox up for awhile, and it would be fun. Yea but why? What you dont realize is that if we go cloggin up boxes then that makes us no differant than they are and we are making things harder on Charles and the rest of the staff. I say just stay out of it and just report them when they happen, and block them. Much easier than spending my time typing out bogus emails when I can be in the forums raising my post count.. YEA, I SAID IT... raising my post count... Thats why I am really here. ![]() |

The two I've gotten both used horrible English. Lol..and everyone speaks perfect English in USA... not to mention they want to keep the image of being a foreigner so you don't get suspicious. Example: I got a few mails from various "russian" girls and telling me how nice it is in Moscow and want to come here and so on. So I did an email trace and the origin of the mails were California. So I wrote back, "well It's good to know that it's nice in Moscow, I just don't understand why you'd need money to come to USA , unless I missed something and California now belongs to Russia". Boom. No more emails from the "Moscow girls". ![]() ![]() Pictures that obviously came from a magazine, made me suspicious. And the only reason to do it is if we got together, we would force them to keep getting new e-mail addresses to start new mingle accounts. As soon as they sent another e-mail, we could plug up that address. That's why we would need a lot of volunteers. At least that's my uneducated understanding of the situation. Yep, the best giveaway is overly professional pictures. Ask for a picture in the kitchen or with her mom or friends. The best giveaway for me is a woman(supposedly) sending me e-mails saying she's interested. |

I e-mail them back, I usually ask point questions like what kind of bank my money will go too (already e-mailed to me, but I have to string them along)...then I go into mathmatics, considering this is an area I excell at I can always confuse the hell out of them when I start on about inflation percentages and the cost of the money being wired from bank to bank and how that fits into the end percent...eventually they stop e-mailing me... |

The first one I asked if she was so georgeous, and could get anyman around her, why would she need to talk to little ole me, all the way over here in America. She said she had to go. Guess she's still scratching her head over that one. |

I find your idea completely bizarre!
Scammers are people, who are brainwashed into sending mass mails to people on places such as these. Free dating sites are packed to the rafters with scammers, and I mean those ones who write not just from overseas, but from probably your country too. They may be looked upon as criminals and with scorn, but I accept that they are here and that we run that risk of running into them, but they are no big deal and treat them as you would junk mail, delete them. Scammers are easy to deal with, report any scam mail to the moderators, sending them back mails, does not remove them does it? Nor will they probably read it. So, it may you give you some personal satisfaction, frankly I would find it a waste of my time. As for their 'poor English' Well, that's another topic, I have seen native speakers with terrible written skills in English language. |
