and also, in answer to the OP, this site probably has mre scam mail than any site I've been on but since it's free I just figure it's my job to weed them out. I have had a few local (within an hour or 2) messages. The rest have been so obviously scam mail....the fact that I recognize it so easily makes me think I 've been here too long.
I haven't written that much mail as first contact but when I have I get an occasional response. When responding to messages I often do not get a follow up response - usually because they are too far away and I tell them that. Why waste my time or theirs?

I can nominate one site that has many more scammers. I used Adult Friend Finder for a year. It cost me $130 for the year, which is fairly cheap in my view. Throughout that year I received not fewer than 200 contacts each week from black men in Ghana who pretended to be white women in various parts of the world. Their infantile attempts to scam would be funny, where it not for their criminal intent.
morgan5: Scammers can come from ANYWHERE, I met one and he was English not only did he ask for money for his flight home, but also outlined how easy it would be for me to con money from members of this site.
So maybe judging people because of where they come from is unfair???
Of course scammers can come from anywhere, but the reality is that almost all of them are African. Even the ones in Britain are usually Africans who are living in Britain. Time to wake up and smell reality, which does not conform to the politically correct fantasy invented by the social liberal multiculturalists.
EagleWoman: The number of responses is NOT indicative of the success rate of finding a potential partner but rather the quality of them. IMO
Yes I very much agree to that cause some responses are the scammers. I am not saying that there are no decent guys here. I have already met four decent guys but it is still not a guarantee that you will really find a match.

Although a large percentage may well come from Africa, other countries also have there fair share, When I lived in Turkey it was almost an accepted occupation to scam European women.
The English one I met was certainly not African, but as British as I am.

Good and bad everywhere.
I was speaking of the fake profiles on this site. I maintain that every single fake I have been contacted by on this site and others has originated in Ghana or Nigeria. As for the man who you said was as British as you were . . . did you meet him? Did you speak with him? Did you actually see him, or was it just a photograph who could have been anyone? If not African, could have he been what I believe are referred to politely as 'travelling folk'? I spent a lot of time interacting with the police and courts as a police and crime reporter during my early years as a journalist. I can assure you that racial profiling is based in fact and that certain crimes have certain racial groups written all over them. Surely you have heard of what is known as the Nigerian scam?

As I said in my 1st post, I did meet him he travelled to Malta to meet me, then told me he had no money to get back. I met him on this site and after doing a bit of digging found out he was contacting women as far away as America, I actually spoke to 2 of them on Skype.
I am not saying alot don't come from Africa just that in my personal experience they have come from European and Asian countries.
