scammers from west africa
I would like to know the reason why you people the owners of this
website are saying that we should not reveal the names of these
scammers on this site,yet these people make us believe that tihs
site is not geniune,these people do exist and the only way of
eradicating them is by mentioning their names to the world and
most of them are from NIGERIA ,i have ever been a victim,so some
rules should be changed and they are spoiling the name of this
website for us the people who are looking for lovers

Hey bro,you are right.I fully agree and support you....we should mention their names even if they are fictitious.

I agree with you, the scammers should be exposed.
However, I disagree with your statement that "most of them are from NIGERIA". You believe this only because Nigeria gets an over-abundance of the press for this and other types of bad behaviour. There are, in fact, more scammers from Russia and some of the Asian countries ...and don't forget, the good ol' USA (case in point: Bernie Madoff).
Scammers come in all guises. Just because they wear fancy suits and hobnob with government officials (most of whom are scammers themselves) doesn't make them any less odious.

Lady....... I'm tired of Nigerian people asking me to send them money. Do they have a honest bone in their body?

Screw 'em all the scammin', slippery bastards. Sure, I know they have to survive but let them deal with the consequences too. Just like the guy who sells drinks on the beach gets sun and windburn, scammers should get theirs.

I think you'll find that there are legal and other reasons to be careful naming names (even usernames).
The best way of handling this is simply to inform CS Admin where you suspect you have found a scammer.
I did that in another bulletin board group (not a singles one) and ended up helping out the Admin by identifying likely scammers and letting Admin know.
There are only so many things that can be done, and I'd suggest that this is one of the most effective.
I would not say that most scammers are from Nigeria, but there is a particular type of scam named after that country because it is commonly practised from there.
Organised crime is involved with some of these scams, and if they know who you are, they could come down upon you. That is another very good reason to let Admin handle it.
Take care.
