Topic: Cavalcade of Scammers ? | |

But, Lex, how far were said girls from you? 879,300 miles? Former Soviet Union? And I'm adding you to the list of people I am not playing Scrabble with. ![]() One claims to be from New York, and the other from Tennessee. One is 18 and the other is 25. They both signed up there on December 1; one has 4 profile views and the other has 6. Of course, I don't believe any of it -- they're probably just looking for more plane tickets. And I am pretty good at Scrabble! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Got a winner for ya here Lex - from another dating site.
Received this email just last night. I fixed all the weird line breaks (it was obviously copied and pasted in from another doc) Dear friend!!! I have just registered on this site and couldn’t stand myself from writing to you. You seem to be the person I’ve always wanted to get acquainted with. Please, give me a chance to get to know you better and I also have much to tell you. Unfortunately, I couldn’t do it right now. I am lack of time now. But if you give this chance, you will find a lot of interesting things about me, I hope. You will be not able to see my complete profile. I am not really good with all these computer things. And I tried to post my picture here but something just didn’t work . I don’t know how else to do it so I will just send you my picture and more information about myself with my next letter to you, of course if you send me your reply back. Some words about me. I am a good, caring and very understanding girl. I am single and what I really want is to find my second half. The one I could love and be loved by. I think that we all just want to be happy and I think it is our main mission in life to get happy and to find our true love. So if you decide to write me back you will find a good friend first and perhaps, this will grow into a beautiful story. Write to me on my e-mail- xxxxxxxxxxxx on yahoo com (xxxxxxxxxxxx@yahoo.com). I shall be send you my picture therefrom. So, please, feel free and write me back. |

Here, this is from "her" profile
In My Own Words i would like to find self-confident, active and sympathetic man, who would have a good sense of humor. I wish my man to have lots of qualities, but you know what they say – if you will fall in love with somebody, then any imperfections will become dignities. But the most important thing for me in man would be his wish to not play games, but to create a strong relationship. And let it first be just correspondence, but after... May be a happy family. This is the main quality the man should have – a wish to fall in love and to have a family, to live this together and be able to say we are happy together. You'd think these foreign scammers would find someone who writes better English work on their profiles and emails. ![]() |

Last year, one of my friends told me about a dating site she had signed up with, and asked me to set up an account there. I did; the site was nice to look at but completely useless insofar as actually meeting people was concerned. I dabbled with it for a few weeks and then forgot about it. I think the last time I was there was in July or August. Today, I get two e-mail notifications from that site. Here's the weird part. The first one, after going on for a bit with the typical soporific drivel, says this: "I hope you'll want to connect, and if you do, don't reply directly to this message. I'm using my best friend's account, and I don't want her to think you're writing for her." OK, fine; this sounds a little deceptive, but no more so than the Van Buren administration. Then, in the second one, I read: "Btw, I'm not using my profile to contact you. I asked my friend to lend me hers cause I'm not sure how all this really works. If you're interested, please send your replies to my email address so we can chat." What the hell is going on? Suddenly there's this epidemic of people using other people's accounts to make contact? Needless to say, I have no interest in contacting either of them. But I may need to borrow someone's account to send out some messages....! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Hey Mirror?
Will you marry me? No wait... |

Keep away from match.com...All I have had from contacts there are scammers. My membership runs out in a week from there.

A.D. -- I'm pretty sure I went out with her for awhile in 2006. If she starts talking to you about writing newspaper articles for her, RUN....!

Rara - Match is one of the better dating sites out there. They're HUGE and you get more to pick from that way. Of course that means they're more of a target for the scammers too.
![]() Lex where the hell did THAT come from?? ![]() I think we should pick apart her email... "I have just registered on this site and couldn’t stand myself from writing to you." --Well if you can't stand yourself why inflict yourself on someone else?!?!? |
