Seein as there's been a few scam mails going around, i thought i'd put up a post on the subject of spotting dating site scammers. These particular scammers really are scum, preying on the lonely. Not all scam mails are the bank account one, there are plenty of other ways to be scammed online. Also any websites which give free mail between members are infested with them
so the giveaways for dating scammers are:
1) Claiming to be fascinated by your profile, (easier to spot if you have very little or nothing at all in your profile)
2) Dreadful or nonexistant spelling and grammer
3) Claiming to be an orphan (parent/s killed in a car crash is very popular)
4) Being either African or Russian (there is a massive amount of Russian dating scammers, who are much more proficient at their 'art' then their African counterparts.
5) Being overly Religious, (Greetings in Jesus name etc)
6) They contacted you
The vast majority of dating scammers will eventually ask for money for almost anything, mostly they will want cash for passports, visas and plane tickets (how else are they going to meet you?) others have tried for money to pay for surgery for family members, college fees and i even heard of one trying to get $50 for tampons... some will even try the classic 419, the millions of dollars stuck in Africa of which you will get a share by helping them transfer the money to your bank account, which can only be done by paying lawyers fees, in cash, through western union (or any other money transfer facility) and the fees keep coming. After they have sucked that dry, they will usually attempt another scam, this time in the guise of a fraud squad and they have caught the scammer and just need some more fees paid so they can release the cash back to you.
If you are in correspondence with anyone that seems remotely like what i have described, cease contact immediately, if you have sent money then forget about ever seeing it again, you can bet that there is a drunk and stoned scammer dreaming up new ways to get more money from you. Best thing to do is report the mail and member to site admin, then delete.
Please note that these are only some of the types of scams out there. the golden rule is if it's too good to be true then its a scam.

When I thought about the beauty of the season, I thought about you.
When I thought about the warmth of the upcoming holidays,

Muppet thinks he's hit the cash cow, he's pretending to be female, and thinks i have 2000 cows, so he's pretty much my bitch for the next few weeks!
