Did I forget something here?

Yes, you forgot something......they say something like this: "I like your profile, you sound interesting/look attractive/am what I am looking for/whatever....

...then when you check your "Who's Viewed Me" page, you see they have in fact never even looked at your profile.....

...how stupid is that??....dead give-away...

Dont forget that God has led them to you

So Spamers are very kind people. They say only nice things.
I want to be with spamergirl. :)

Drat..... you got that one too?

yep and I am going to be condemned forever for not believing that he wanted money for the orphans...

scammers are out there an yr right most of them do want money for something it could even be someone close 2 u

Spot on. I got one this morning saying "I saw your profile...I fall in love with you". No sighting of him on 'who's viewed me' - chucked him into the 'blocked' bin.

My scammer said he lived in my home town. Oh goody goody.
After about one week told me he would be going to Ghana to buy
gold and diamonds as he wanted to open a jewelry store in our town.
If you have read my profile you would know I could not have cared less
about that.
Lost his wife and loved her sooooo very much.
Now he is in Ghana.
Visit this orphanage, sends me pictures.
Jenny as soon as I am home I want to start doing more
for these kids as they need it sooo much.
OMG what a nice compasionate guy I got here

Jenny my son can not stomach the food here please send us
and here comes the list. No I did not send anything.
He keeps me focused on when he is home he will do this and do that.
Will you pick me and my son up from the airport?

One day before he is to come home. Jenny there is a problem.
We can not leave now as I am $500 dollars short to buy a return ticket.
Mark, how appropiate this name, you could not have enterend the country without a return ticket. True but I let it expire. Huh?
I could go on. Gave me the correct postal or zip code and these are things he could look up.
My home town? that was in my profile.
Not today, close to it but not the real town.

There are numerous variations to this scam

Right you are, my Mark said he was a Christian, yeah that too is in my profile.

if i told you, you were beautiful would that make me a scammer

Sorry I joke around a lot but this is not a joke.
I know several people who have fallen for these scams.
It is not just guys into this but women too.
They can come from many places. Rusia for one.
Fake picture and all.

No it wouldn't. But if you told me you saw my profile and you are not logged in 'who's viewed me', then yes, I'd think so.

Yes Vonney you are heartless.
Do these guy read from the same script?
It must be working because I know they are
succeeding enough to keep on trying.

Good point I met my scammer on another forum but never
checked that one out.

Ohhh for goodness sake... how many times??!! There are ways to view someone's profile WITHOUT it showing up as "viewed"!!

Just because someone doesn't show up as having "viewed" one's profile doesn't mean they are a scammer......

I have people contact me without it showing they have looked at my profile who are not scammers....

That said..... if all the other elements come into play and you suspect they are a scammer.... AND.... they don't show up as having "viewed" your profile, chances are you're right.... they are a scammer!!

Oh and they are waiting for your sweet reply lol...
They do wait ... in fact a long time, I never reply

Well, you chucked me too...and I look at your profile everyday!!!....

why be here every ones a scammer ...... they all live on the internet and they all want something !

THEY want to pay to fly YOU to THEM!

how cool is that!

they just need your BANK ACCOUNT info so they can deposit the air fare money in it.

They want to share personal things early on, then they want you to share personal things, so we can develop trust, eh? soon they want personal things like your CREDIT CARD number, MOTHERS MAIDEN NAME, SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, or your NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE so they can send you a fake check to deposit in your account and then send them a real check or money back.

its fun to lead them on, everyone should do it to waste their time.

what people don't realize is that some are hackers and through using Instant Messaging can gain access to your computer and personal info stored on it.

IE- Internet explorer, is an insecure browser and should not be used.

downlaod Mozilla- Firefox browser and click on "tools" then "clear private data" after using credit card info.

Also, you should clear "history" press "ctrl" button and "H"

plus you should use something like CC cleaner to remove website pages( you have visited.
