I got a message from a guy who says was born and raised in France and moved to Kentucky 3 years ago..So we went on instant messenger and one of the first things I did was say to him in "French" yes my friend,>( oui mon ami) and his response was "what"?? I know my spelling in French was correct so immediately I figured out this guy is probably a scammer..Asked him what his age is he replied 45 but his profile says 40 on CS..I checked his profile on instant messenger and it says age "24"..LOL.. When I said to him you dont know what those 3 words mean? His response was how about this word > F%ck you.. I checked the scammer photos online and guess what? His only photo he uses is on a scammer site with about 5 different alias names..So, in just a 16 minute conversation the scammer was busted..lol..It took him a long time to respond back in English and my guess is because hes using a online translator and knows some simple english words...Kind of sad these people think all of us are dumb..Anyone else have stories to tell about running into one of them on here?

good one V..I will do that next time one tries to pull his scam tricks on me.
Yeah this week did get a few attempts in my mailbox. One surprisingly had pretty good english so i wasn't sure and she didn't post the typical yahoo account but she did say she liked my profile and as usual wasn't in my 'viewed list'. So i aasked her what exactly had she liked about me and she said it was the name. So like yeah right, you like someone's profile name and you mail them to get better acquainted?

LoL..With that one I would have messaged a few more times to make sure, but ya it does sound suspicious they would contact you only because of your name..

It's pretty easy with my profile pic showing myself and my new lady. It also states in my profile that I am in a relationship and they just don't bother to read it or don't have enough command of the English language to suss it out. Also wanting to talk off site is a dead giveaway. What would I have in common with someone who is in their mid twenties (ok guys I get the physical thing but really now). Most are from Russia and choose somewhere fictious in the USA.

nanners2863: My favs are the ones who email you proclaiming their undying love..SCAMMER!! And when you check their profile it says they are a woman seeking a man..
ya i think half of them are so busy emailing everyone they forget who they are contacting..
