THE BEST ADVICE ON THIS MATTER

I have found one good way to sort out the scammers is this,

Ask them to send you one photo with one finger touching their nose,since no one poses like that if they are a scammer it's a safe bet that they do not have an existing pic like that.Explain to them that if they are sincere that they will understand this action.If nessesary send them a picture with your finger on you nose to show them what you mean.I did this and no longer recive mail any from russia.Also there is a good scams info link at the CS home page that is put there to help you protect yourselves,and is very explanitory and helpfull.

Hehe, some really good advice here.

I've gotten email back from this one lady in Russia, (the same that contacted me). Neither one of us can afford to travel at this time and she has not asked for any money, infact she even said she would never ask that of me. So perhaps she is a decent one, who knows?

Although her latest email also mentioned that she may move to Moscow and won't have access to the internet. Whats really strange is when I asked if she would like to talk over the phone, she said she had no phone! I also asked about getting a picture of her touching her nose but she has yet to respond to that.

So chances are we may end up just remaining friends. If I meet someone else I will see how it goes. No point wasting my time on a potential "expert?" scammer with no phone. lol

Going to check out that website and see if her names there. :)

Another thing to watch for is them sending you money--this WILL go badly for do not agree to accept wired funds or checks,remember they have and will try anything.If you would like,send me your E-mail and I will send you pics of about 6 or 7 of these Russians and you can see if one is your girl,for example "Ekaterina" is a russian super model and apparantly her and I were pen-pals--- yea,right

Wantedman: Well that russian lady I had been emailing back and forth with turned out to be a dud. I had several times insisted on her msn and phone number but instead I have not gotten any emails back from her in a week now. From now on I'm ignoring all russian womaen, and most from any out side countries.So back to my fishing.


Easy'' never ever give out your email just talk onsite until you are sure even then ask for thier email first please dont tar all of us with the same brush' you know us Aussies are ok for a start but still DONT GIVE OUT YOUR EMAIL.

Good advice Marita. If anybody asks you for your e mail then it's a scam. what I find hard to believe is that people are sucked in despite all the signals ie: crappy English, superficial romantic talk without any connection, model photos and so on and forth. The other thing that makes me incredulous is that in all of Canada, these people can't find a date so that they feel they need to talk to people from the third world to get lucky?

Delete them as soon as you get a bad vibe. Simple tests such as local weather if they say they are from Canada or if from the states ask them to tell you where they work or, tell you, in their own words something funny that happened to them recently or, a good joke. Humor is very particular to culture and is hard to replicate.

Lonely1: Had my first really purty gal who fell in love with me recently.

lucky me. The only problem is she wants US$350 to come visit me, after only two months of one way conversation in which I was told everything about her that i did not ask.


Scammers believe to email here is not safe. They are wrong!
Yahoo or MSN all are privately owned and if they want to,can read your messages same as on here.

I think they prey on people they feel are lonely and they post a pic that is attractive to get your attention. They give out their yahoo address, they IM me then have nothing to say, they take to long with their answers and use very poor spelling. They say how much they love my profile but can't tell me one thing they like about it. I ask specific questions about the weather, their hobbies, what they do for fun and they use one word answers.

well I get ALL sorts of messages from Tunsia, Morroco and the sort. and the FIRST thing they do is ask for me e-mail.....yeah no. #1 they can trace your IP through your e-mail. #2 anyone who is sincere about getting to know you will be patient and realise that contacting you through the site until you feel comfortable with them is MORE than acceptable.

This site provides it's own breakdown of scam related messages which is informative and on the money. I just recieved one in the past hour, asked me for my e-mail off the hop. He isn't getting it, nor will he get a response.

There is no saying that a good relationship can't develop long distance, however in times when you really are blind sided by your feelings you ignore warning signs (red flags) and they are there, but I think we have a tendancy to ignore them or brush them off as quirks. Just listen to your gut, you know in your heart if it's right or not.

Its really tooo bad that scammers have ruined things for people are honest and sincere. I give out my email sometimes to people, maybe I wont now. It never occured to me that some people may look at it in a negative way.

Wantedman: Is anyone else being contacted by those from other countries or far off places? How do you deal with them? They normally bring up marriage, how do you deal with that?

What are ways to tell the sincere contacts from the scammers?The reason I ask is that I'm getting woman from all over the place contacting me and then requesting that I contact them on there email. Not sure why they cant use this free sites email system.

So I'm wondering who else is having this happen and how do you sort through the real ones over the scammers?


Yes, I have and they have even had the nerve to ask for money or a place to stay when they visit. I just delete the messages and block them.

They always ask me for money and then, even ask me to sponsor them. Golly, I have two guys working for me as dishwashers, a car washer, a personal masseuse, an unlicensed co driver, an apprentice mechanic, a seamstress and a personal butler. All because I inherited a fortune from King Abibi through his son Prince Abibi who couldn't figure out the semantics of getting his inheritance to Canada.

I'm telling you, life is good. Just don't marry them. I had ten wives and let me tell you, they get good at telling you so make it cheap, be nice, do it large and just sponsor the entire clan. Tired of the chanting though however, am bringing over Idi Amins kids to set these clowns straight. No bongos after ten unless I've had a few, then it's till four.

I do not know if I can help you but will tell you that not all the women that contact you are scammers. I have had lots of mail from abroad too and you can tell from the mail that its not quite right. The way I can tell is they always say age is only a number, and they always mention God Fearing or such like. Get rid immediately. The site mail is fine and works very well when they ask for email too quickly alarm bells start ringing.I go with the flow for a bit and then decide when the request comes in. Good luck I know I am not much help.
