HERE'S A VERY HELPFUL PAGE IN IDENTIFYING THE PHOTOS MOST COMMONLY USED BY SCAMMERS.
(also shows the W.African men caught behind some of the scams with the particular photos they use. the site itself has gotten hard major work done this year, & has many grouped by the real names of the women & men who's photos are stolen & used. so it's extremely helpful. if you've been here very long, you'll immediately recognize some of the photos used).

Tried, didn't work. Went to Scam stories, clicked on post new thread, and after, it said there was a mistake. Said I didn't pick a category & it produced a drop-down list that DID NOT include "Scam Stories" even though there is obviously a forum there.dunno help

Absolutely, I have no common sense... so I need step-by-step instructions...
I have a fairly decent IQ, but I still couldn't manage it...
bombs away I guess... or rocks from what I saw in the ADVICE forum...

Since everyone seems to know(except the OP's)& enjoys quoting Forum Rule 19, how about a new one:

Forum Rule 18:
Topics of threads must be clearly stated in titles. All posts within that thread must address the topic described in the title. You may discuss a dislike for a forum topic. You may NOT discuss your dislike for a forum poster or make fun of them for posting it.
(I'm not referring to this forum post)

The above has continually...imo, been broken on many postings, but most esp. on ones about scammers.

Once again - a working link - - with useful scammer info & insight

MORE great info & insight(includes how to find the real profiles on Facebook & myspace):




*Note - While the above are of W.African scammers, the rs site also includes Russian scammers' stolen photos, of which there are loads in the "top-rated" lists here at C.S., using photos of Russian women(used by Russian scammers, but also sometimes stolen & used by W.African scammers as well)
