Its really tooo bad that scammers have ruined things for people are honest and sincere. I give out my email sometimes to people, maybe I wont now. It never occured to me that some people may look at it in a negative way.

Wantedman: Is anyone else being contacted by those from other countries or far off places? How do you deal with them? They normally bring up marriage, how do you deal with that?

What are ways to tell the sincere contacts from the scammers?The reason I ask is that I'm getting woman from all over the place contacting me and then requesting that I contact them on there email. Not sure why they cant use this free sites email system.

So I'm wondering who else is having this happen and how do you sort through the real ones over the scammers?


Yes, I have and they have even had the nerve to ask for money or a place to stay when they visit. I just delete the messages and block them.

They always ask me for money and then, even ask me to sponsor them. Golly, I have two guys working for me as dishwashers, a car washer, a personal masseuse, an unlicensed co driver, an apprentice mechanic, a seamstress and a personal butler. All because I inherited a fortune from King Abibi through his son Prince Abibi who couldn't figure out the semantics of getting his inheritance to Canada.

I'm telling you, life is good. Just don't marry them. I had ten wives and let me tell you, they get good at telling you so make it cheap, be nice, do it large and just sponsor the entire clan. Tired of the chanting though however, am bringing over Idi Amins kids to set these clowns straight. No bongos after ten unless I've had a few, then it's till four.

I do not know if I can help you but will tell you that not all the women that contact you are scammers. I have had lots of mail from abroad too and you can tell from the mail that its not quite right. The way I can tell is they always say age is only a number, and they always mention God Fearing or such like. Get rid immediately. The site mail is fine and works very well when they ask for email too quickly alarm bells start ringing.I go with the flow for a bit and then decide when the request comes in. Good luck I know I am not much help.

I have been contacted many times by russian women. Most of their stories all have the same general tone about them. Want to be with me asap but my mom is sick and cant give me the money now etc etc. There is a whole web site dedicated to exposing these "women". The first one i got was coincidentally shortly after i signed up here and when i went to the scammers site lo and behold there was her exact same pics and email sent in as a scam by at least 3 other guys. If someone loves u within even a month it is a scam basically. Think about guys, is a gorgeous 23 year old girl gonna drop everything and fly 2000 miles to be with us and they are not even sure if we have a place to live or a job etc. They are so hot they have 400 bfs. The truth is the pics are fake and most times its a few guys in a rundown building emailing lonely men to bilk them out of their money. While im here I would also like to comment on these bots and cam girls. I think they should start a database for them. Do we serious singles who are actually looking to find someone really need to be contacted so we can pay $5 to see them naked? Its so frustrating and maddening to have that. Beware. Love NORMALLY takes more than a week or two. By the way the website I believe is scammerslist, Anyone suspicious of russian motives may want to check it out. Not sure the exact address but thats close. Plead stupidity in the beginning and see where it goes. Ive had at least 5 russian women so far and its so funny seeing them beg when u tell them why u cant send any money.

I have been contacted by and wanted me to send them money and asked for my email address things like that..... It is scary

Hi man

There is bad and good people any time and every where even in the WWW.
I think you should have a good faith in people but at the same time you have to be very careful like not giving your personnel details or sending money to any one.
There is some genuine people out their and don’t let the bad scammer stop you from meeting may be the girl of you dream.
Just the day before some one who has a female profile try to scam me. It was obvious one from the start but these people don’t give up and they hope some one fall to their trap.
Still not difficult to tell if these people are scammer or no.

Maybe more of us should play with them. Just when they think that they have us. Call them on their scam and like you said, "because they are stupid". We don't want them to get to smart.

When I answer their emails I talk about random things and I ask dozens of questions about their country etc. I usually never hear from them again. crying laugh

well one fella told me he got scammed out of money from a woman from Russia, and admitted he made a mistake, then does it over ,and not sure what happened to him. He is still on personals so he has had no luck. I suppose there is no way to say which of these women are honest, but I think guys need to be careful.
And I have got mails from guys working in Africa but are always Americans, and realize this is a scam, as they fall in love, want to get married LOl. One I was talking to asked me to send him 300 as he lost his credit card, and next thing he disappears from a site.:) Live and learn, but do not want to meet anyone too far away anyway.banana laugh

Some simple rules

Never send money to someone you have never met in person.

First travel to her, then have her come here, but Visa requirements can be tricky for that.

Always talk on the phone first, or use something like sykpe with web cams.

Get her address, and personal email

Use a flower shop that also takes pictures as confirmation, that she received them. That way you do know she is real.

Most scammers never read your note, so asking questions that are never answered are a good sign they are one. Forms letters another one. If the can send the same letter to anyone, then they probably are sending it to many. You really never have a two way conversation with them.


I played with one russian scammer, (but probably more like Boris thne the actual girl). Money needed for visa, plane fare would be required. But I went out of town on business, so their time ran out before the final request could be made. It is a limited time frame before they have to move to another email.

Don't forget the ones that send the same letter after they have been rejected. I tend to like the ones that say they fell in love after reading your profile.... hmmmm funny how my profile does not say anything. grin

Have had to block a few so called .... uhhhh model Suitors ... seems my response was not taken seriously,... and then the same form letter is sent with in a week. If I have checked the who has "viewed me", it shows they have not.

Some of those form letters describing themselves tend to cause lots of laughter ... so much laughter my stomach hurts. If they are so perfect what are they doing on here. rolling on the floor laughing

I am also one of the real overseas women who would never ask you for marriage or money.
Actually I do have the same problems as you guys.I have scammers telling me they live in the US,Canada or Australia sometimes.
A jear ago when I was new to online dating I did not even know that scammers excistet.But I did learn my lesson and after that I had been reading a lot about scams.It is easy to tell for me now who is not real.
