When I first got on here, I had a couple like what you describe, but learned really fast. There's another social site I am on where the scamming has become so prevalent I think there are more of them than real people. Which site is that? So I know which to avoid.

That's y I don't go on yahoo anymore.most scammers want u to go on there right away. that is one sure sign. That was just it they did not go to Yahoo immediately. We exchanged emails on Mingle2 for a couple of weeks first. Nathaniel was only ever on mobile and really hard to contact most of the time. Kenneth was really sweet and well spoken. His punctuation and grammer was perfect and all the scammer sites tell you that they deliberately mis-spell words and don't use punctuation to avoid scammer filters or something. Plus the photo of his son was the spitting image of him. So whoevers picture they are using they obviously have the whole family.

Totally agree but I do like forums you get know people who real and who are not it's sad but it happens and I never give out my real e-mail address I only e-mail thur the site ... I do look at them as loser and how sad they are ... The other sad part it really makes hard for the good guys or gals ....

I have a list of things to watch for if you suspect you may be dealing with a scammer. Write me if you're interested. I am not posting them here for the scammers to see to learn tips on how to perfect their craft. One of these things may not be anything but more than one, there might something up and it doesn't hurt to report them so Admin can take a look see.

I guess its because they feel they can talk to u longer and get the money from u faster that way. i'm not saying all ppl on yahoo.are bad,but i have found most scammers go on there.

Don't you just love how they blank out the names of the guilty. Why should I not be allowed to let people know who these people are to stop them doing it to someone else. These people should not be allowed to get away with this. I even read on one of the sites I checked about this one scammer who forgot what sex they were supposed to be when chatting to a prospective mark. They were supposed to be a male and started refering to themselves as a female.
