Its so easy for people to download an image from the net and post it as their own. All dating sites seem to be vulnerable to this. Basically if its a profession looking photo and the woman is good looking the chances are extremely high its fake. Check by going to
(better than Yahoo, Bing or Google I found but you can try them as well) after saving the image on your device. Then you upload the image to Yandex/Google and the search engine will look for the same image online. Takes just a couple of seconds. Get ready to be disappointed and hopefully you haven't wasted too much time talking to Miss Wonderful who mysteriously never is available to voice chat (no privacy, no mic, no internet, and on and on). Probably a 300 lb Nigerian guy!
First determine is she's female. Voice chat is the only way for that (hopefully software voice modification hasn't gotten popular with the scammers yet). Next is video chat so you can see the person talking. Does it match the photo on the profile
Second determine her financial needs. Does she bring up her money woes all the time? if she does she's probably doing exactly the same to 10-20 other guys. Even if they only send $50 a month (nothing for a developed country worker), multiply that by 20 and its a sizable sum for someone making a few dollars a day doing maid work. Enough they would never consider mopping another floor again. The financial motivation is enormous for poor people acting "friendly" on the phone. She may even rationalize it by convincing herself this is the best way to screen all her suitors. Or her children need it. We're all very skilled at rationalization.
Third determine her dependents. Many rationalize gold digging because their family is out of work and is destitute. Marry her and you have to support the whole family.
Fourth determine how open she is to you visiting. If you hang out with her a lot she won't be able to hide her many contacts online who want to talk to her, who she risks losing if she's not available as before. A con artist doesn't like to be observed closely.
What other ways do you guys use for screening golddiggers?
