Hard core born again christians use the expression too, except that sort of info would come out in the context of a heartfelt conversation rather than labeling oneself that way in a first impersonal e mail one is not even certain will be answered...a bit silly.

"Okay....for anyone new on here please take note of the following scammer "red flags":
1. "I am a God-fearing man" - an expression that is rarely used in the U.S.
2. "Hope to hear from you soonest" - Say what?
3. "I don't mean to bother you with this email" - why would it bother me? I'm on here to meet people."
I would disagree about #1. Being a church-going guy, I love it when I a profile says the woman is God-fearing, a term I would expect to hear in the South and also in the Midwest.
#2 I would pretty much agree with, except I'm corresponding with several women, at least one of whom like to say that basic phrase.
#3 I have said those very words on occasion when I have complimented a woman on a great puzzle, or in one case because I liked her property in her picture. I would expecially tend to use those words if the woman's profile indicated that she was out of my age range. Keep in mind that I am shy and humble, so I approach women very humbly.

Well I am in the Midwest, Illinois, and I have never heard anyone use the term "God Fearing"
Really wonder since there is so many scammers how many people they actually get to give them money. I would think people do since there are so many of them and people don't usually continue to do stuff if there is no payoff!

There seems to be an epidemic of women dying in Florida as I have had dozens of emails from widowers in Florida.

peacock33: Okay....for anyone new on here please take note of the following scammer "red flags":
1. "I am a God-fearing man" - an expression that is rarely used in the U.S.
2. "Hope to hear from you soonest" - Say what?
3. "I don't mean to bother you with this email" - why would it bother me? I'm on here to meet people!
AND MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE:
"Hello Pretty" - Last time I checked, "pretty" was an adjective that needs to describe a noun.
P.S. For those of you who think I'm tipping off the scammers as to what NOT to say, you need not worry because 1) They don't read messages on the forums; and 2) Luckily for us, English is such a hard language to learn that even if they corrected the above mistakes we would still be able to spot them!

I know the sign of red flags so well by now that I can usually look at a message and determine without reading it whether to block the sender, and on this site it is mostly scam mail so I do block most of it. I'm experienced on the net now so none of this is new to me. I can spot the wind up artists on here just as readily and I know exactly who they are.
the red flags I am currently redefining are the red flags the ID a player - a man who is a player from a genuine article. I think I have a pretty good handle on it at this point

I would think if a woman was not a scammer that she would say she was a Christian and not God Fearing. If you fall for the God Fearing phrase; you are going to be scammed. Be warned.

Not to get off-topic here, Peacock -- ok, scratch that, in fact is exactly my intention to get off-topic -- but you might want to rethink your "all-time favorite." Yes, "pretty" is most commonly an adjective. But it can also be a noun. Remember the Wicked Witch of the West calling Dorothy and her pals "my pretties?" Such usage is less common in our USA nowadays, yes, but not unknown, and may persist more in other english-speaking regions.

Oh, huggers, you're asking for it! I'm from Oklahoma, and we don't use "god-fearing" anymore. This was something that was possibly said 40-50 yrs ago, not of late. And if you say "hope to hear from you soonest"? Oh my, I'd delete/block you immediately.

Dag, do you know what year the Wizard of OZ was made? Hello Pretty is NOT a greeting in the U.S after 1940!

If you were told that Americans use "hope to read from you" You were told wrong! We do not say that, period

The biggest tip off are things like their grammar, sentence structure, and by reading their actual profile.
I have saw a couple profiles where there is a piture of this good looking woman, only to have her profile state a different hair color, a different body type, a small height that clearly is not true, and so on.
They are easy to spot a mile away. I do not reply people with other countries listed as their location, or any of the reasons I listed or the other ones others have listed.
