hi martia,

Yep, i have learnt we have somthing that we have that ppl are after and it not usually cash. Its an identity...mainly thaey need it to cover someones thats been worn out or to rip someone else off.

They all seem to be foreign, but I am sure they have some Aussie connections somewhere.

Had this guy email me twice today didn't even realise it! he looked quite blond in pic but they always say they have black hair and brown eyes.They really do rip off other peoples profiles he got a few ladies in from Aus I quickly warned them then gave him a 0 while I was there.This one did not start out asking for my email they are getting smarter but not much.
I think they are breeding like rabbits soon they will outnumber the genuine members.

I wonder how many scammers email other scammers without realising they have done it.. that would be interesting , both trying to drain money from each other.

I am starting to get more mail from out of country profiles.. guess one day soon when i have time i'll get right into a convo with one of them , see if i can push it further than i did with the last one ( they typed too slowly for me lol )

Peace out

blondeaozichick: guess I miss out on all the fun wonder why I don't get scammers hassling me? maybe its because I don't reply to emails?


I get lots of these characters. Many are from America lately, and have had some outright pests from Oz as well recently, not scammers but a couple of local nutters.

Scammers just send a usually slightly disjointed email, and always very nonspecific about your profile. They are getting clever, as some do appear in your "viewed" folder, so it is a worry as they do become more clever.

One scammer still stalks me on yahoo, but I have it so he can't seem me when I'm online. But I can see him. It's been months now. I know he is a scammer because he had started to chat on yahoo with me, but I was really suspicos, even thugh he wasn't one of these people that asked to chat offline after the first email exchange. It had taken many emails lter. But thngs didn't add up, and I grew very suspicious, time differences were way out from where he was supposed to be at the time he was writing and stuff like that. Oh, he was widowed, now that is a favourite with some guys, you know poor widow left with young son, who happens to be looked after by his parents who live in Oz, but he works,,,errr...somewhere far away. So I reported the ID to CS Mods. Yep, they wrote back that he was indeed a scammer. You should have heard the crap that followed when I told him that, and the explanation he gave as to how come his profile suddenly disappeared off CS. Then he claimed he had pretty well fallen in love with me. Imagine that, a scammer falling in love, jeez, what next??? doh

Then he wrote a long apologetic email admitting to his scamming, but that he now really liked me. As I said, he STILL stalks me on yahoo messenger, and once when I was off guard after re-installing the darned thing, he caught me online and wanted to start relating again, and still so apologetic. I never replied of-course!

Martia: .This problem is huge.Any ideas how it can stopped as so many members are going to be hurt and ripped up.


The best way is to google some info on where they are apparently living , ask them questions.. like i did on page 1 , asking about the golden guitar , which was in the town they apparently lived in... if they dont know the local tourist attractions or any place of significance in the town they apparently live in , then thats a pretty good cause to think they are a scammer

Martia: I have been contacted by Scammers every day, now its two a day.Always in their forties saying they are American mostly handsome and wealthy.One got in touch on IM and I thought I would push this guy to the limit.
He said he lived in Tas just picked his daughter up from the Plane but he was in a motel well I have to give this guy credit he hung in there.But he got more and more confused, I talked him into giving me his phone no It was a Queensland number, odd as he said he was in Hobart he had an accent and sounded quite young.
I then told him he was in Queensland and why did he have an accent he blurted out he was Cuban could be right as it was not Indian or African accent.
All the way through this I kept saying he sounded so sad and to tell me his story, well he wasn't very good at scamming as he was nearly in tears kept saying he was sorry and I was so kind and then he hung up.
What worries me is Ladies in these guys so called age group could easily fall victim as they are getting really good now and there are so many of them.Their profiles are written by someone else but in their own words are poor English and spelling mistakes.
But what happens when they correct that.This problem is huge.Any ideas how it can stopped as so many members are going to be hurt and ripped up.
It is not only happening in your country we are bombarded with them here in UK. They are targeting ladies alone and much older than they are. They seem to think that we are desperate and fall for the hunk in the photograph, which is a bitmap shot and of course not of them at all. We get the opening letter always the same and it is so easy to spot it. I got tired of it all the first thing I do is look, read and report and thats it for the time being. Then they sign up again and back to normal business. It is all too good to be true, they get mixed up with the different ladies that they are mailing and a lot of the time get your name wrong. I did fall for it initially and when he started to write to me in Greek, and then in Spanish got me wondering what was going on. Yes the request for money came it was only just this certain amount, sure, I do not think so! I am not so vain as to think that a hunk of 41 with a figure to kill for wants a 52yr old when he could get a 25yr old. Rotten swines, there is only one punishment good enough for them, but cannot tell you on here. Good Luck Ladies and Be Careful! teddybear
