Topic: Ways of knowing you being scammed | |
---|---|
Each morning I receive a number of messages inviting to chat . Each either in first message or shortly after request to exchange text numbers , hangout, yahoo, or email
Each time I reply that I would be pleased to chat but don't know that person well enough to exchange off site contact information . Each and every time I do not get response again . It is evident to me these people scammers or am I missing something ? |

Each and every time I do not get response again . It is evident to me these people scammers or am I missing something ? If they give you their phone number or email addy on first contact - Scammers ... and if they ask for money - definitely scammers. If the women are too young, too sexy, too good to be true, and they want you and want to marry you - may or may not be scammers. Your call. Anyway, be cautious and good luck. |
