How Can You Tell ( Archived) (21)

I have had a few scammers and it becomes very obvious quickly. When they are from faqr away and also tell you that they travel a lot and are going to a foreign country on a construction project or some other business, then be very suspicious. When they immediately want to get you on IM, and when they want you to send them pics, be very suspicious and DO NOT give any personal information to thm at all or pics a they will take it and create another peofile using your pic and information to scam others with. Scammers all have same pattern. If you are still fooled, when they ask you for money, you will have yur answer and pls report them so they can't get money from anyone!!
I get a lot of laghs setting them up in their own game. I even ask them for money once I know they are a scammer!

Hi Mercedes.

It is easy.

Once you know the signs, the advice page here is good.

But here a few pointers that I have come across in my experience.

1. They woo you with words, often in broken English. 'You are beautiful, I want to know you, please respond to my yahoo account'

Do not respond, delete and report to the mods.

2. They are often from overseas, far away at the other side of the world.

3. The above being said, there are organisations that work with these people, who are in the US and in Europe.

4. They will try to IM you, want your messenger address immediately and give you their email address immediately.

I delete these, simply becasuse there is no way, even they are true to their word, that I am going to have a relationship with a person in Pakistan or India.

Concentrate on the ones closer to home, who contact you, who speak the same language as you, so that you are clear about the messages.

That is not to say that all people from Asia are this way, there are many good people, many.

Be prudent and on the ball, there are a few people here that have given money to people that have had a relationship with them, and that is sad.

Thing is, never to give money to anybody.

Go with your gut instinct, you seem a smart lady, if it does not feel or look right, it is probably not.

Good news people..This thread that I put up well not long after that I got a girlfriend of mine to join this site..
She pasted the same mail to me that he had sent me!
She is so clever with these things..
Ive copied and pasted your advice till I get the hang of this scamming thing!
Ah sucks when a scammer says Im beautiful

Yes, Morgan I do agree with you.

It is irrelevant, but certainly, it is more likely that it will be from overseas.

I have never been asked for money here, I do not respond, only to the people in the forums.

Good for her, she sounds an astute lady...

Wait till a man who is decent and honest tells you, it will not suck, it will be fabulous.

I like being here for the forums only, it is much easier.

You gonna and got yourself one of them there, man fingies???

Lovely, Morgan...

Great innit?
