If this thread raises one person's awareness and prevents them form getting scammed it has served its purpose.

Thank you Hikerchick for giving me a gentle nudge to get it started.

Thank you, Redshirt.flowerforyou

I started on-line dating about 10 months ago. I had never heard of scammers until somebody told me about them.

I have had a few "characters" email me this week. I just love it when a 19 y/o blue box from India wants to chat on Yahoo.laugh




Winx check you mail hx...that was me. laugh

Could look in my scammer file and give you several names. But alas they all are currently in Nigeria or Ghana. Oh, there is one from Russia.

Scammer's have been around since the dawn of time, there is more availability with the growing popularity of the internet which causes a large security concern for many. When in doubt google a certain sentence or phrase that just jumps out at you, generally you will get a number of other references to the same names, places, or story. Snopes.com is also helpful from time to time. AND DON'T EVER SEND MONEY TO SOMEONE YOU'VE NEVER MET.

That is all.smokin
