Watch out 4 them men and women i was just scammed by someone who asked 4 money remember they start asking b aware of them all i want is to love someone I have never understood how someone scams another. How can one allow a stranger to rip you off of $$$$?? What's their MO?? I would have red flags/bells/whistles going off if someone I met online started talking/hinting about any monetary hardships they have. I was a Loss Prevention Investigator for a very long time. You would be amazed at the different scams out there. I've caught guys whi can goto a cashier and turn a $1.00 bill into a $100.00 bill. It's amazing the skill they have.

Hey guys, Please report them to us. Yes, i know it's fun to toy with them, i do it all the time. Unless you are really ready for tons of IM's, or emails, i advise against it. I also want to stress, though these people may appear to be stupid, they are far from it, and far from being harmless. They, (yes, believe it or not) are highly successful. I will not go into specifics here, but Google "Nigerian419" These people are dangerous. We work very hard to keep them off the site, and member support is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Mark

Thanks, Mark They are only dangerous if you travel outside the country. I bait them all the time and have since about 2006-2007. I don't really get flooded with emails and I never give them my im names.

'compassion' ... what is this strange word you use ... ? I feel pain for you for not understanding the word... get it? That's really nice ... pointless, yet somehow nice ...

hell i flagged an easy 20 accts that are fake If the accounts indeed turned out to be scammers, then we have eliminated them. If not, those accounts are pending further investigation (if you reported them within the last few hours). We are very careful in our assessments. We want to be absolutely certain. Thanks for the reports, guys, it's much appreciated.
