Spotting scammers

Scammers will target date sites for vulnerable lonely people and also target any harvested email they cam.

1) Be assured anyone who immediately leaves their email address for you is a scammer. Real people interested in you want to learn more about you.

2) Beware of anyone falling in love right away or asking for money at any time.

3) Scammer will often not reply to your letters, but will use cut and paste info from stolen profiles and love letters online. Keep asking questions and expect answers.

4)Scammers will send information which is appealing and full of provocative picture for males or heart wrenching stories and love letters to females.

5 Scammers are persistent and may use other emails and tricks once they are in contact with you.

6) Scammers never live near you. They claim to be from the US or Canada (far away from you) and yet write in scamlish (poor English) and when you do get to phone, their accents are so thick you can barely understand them (because they are in Nigeria or Ghana for the most part)
