I hear people talking about certain sites and such like yahoo for
example. And I hear them talk about "scammers" and Russian scammers. HOw
do you know when someone is a scammer??? I know it is kinda a silly ?
but I dont the difference. Can anyone help me out on this one??

If they start out with "they are in love with you", ask for money
because someone just died or is dying and they need to get home and will
pay you back as long as you give them your banking info and if they want
your personal email address before they know anything about
you-basically giving you tooooo much info right out of the hat and
showering you with all the icky love stuff!! Be careful--

In my experience, what happens is I get an unsolicited message from a
female member of whatever site it is. There's usually a picture, one
that raises suspicions simply by depicting someone who obviously is (or
should be) a model.

The message is almost always written in horribly fractured English, and
almost always corresponds to the kind of structure that you would expect
a Russian person with a very limited knowledge of English to sound like.
(After receiving enough of these, the patterns of language become
familiar. I've even done parody posts about this.)

The person always says that they saw your profile and really liked it
and "I would more better to like to know you," or something to that
effect. On sites where they keep track of who has viewed your profile,
these people never show up on the list. So they haven't actually seen
your profile at all, it's just part of the scam to make you think
they're interested.

They always provide a different e-mail address, and ask you to write
them there, instead of communicating through the site where they have
already been able to contact you! I'm guessing that's because the
addresses they want you to write to are always Yahoo (disposable), and
they probably would rather have that one reported than have their actual
dating site account shut down for scamming.

If you contact them (I've never done this, but I've talked to people who
have), there will eventually be a story about how they need money to buy
a plane ticket to fly to the U.S. and be with you and love you and take
care of you forever and wash your car and your dog and put up aluminum
siding for you, or whatever. You send them the money and you never hear
from them again.

There are other scams, like the famous Nigerian one where the son of the
Minister of Housing or something offers you 17 million dollars if you'll
just send him a couple thousand so he can take care of the paperwork.
Same scam, different incentive.

I just experienced this on Yahoo, This person had pictures that looked
like a model. He did not want to communicate through Yahoo Personals
e-mail. I chatted with him for about 2 days before he told me that he
was from the UK, Liverpool to be exact and he was working in Africa. His
profile said that he lived in Media, Pa. he asked me where I worked,
thinking he lived in the area I shared my company name. He started
sending all of these love e-mails I told him that he was moving way to
fast especially since he lives in the UK. Then I received a delivery to
my office of Flowers and Godiva Chocolates from him. This freaked me
out, because he had to do research in order to find address of my
Company. I IM'd him to thank him and once again expressed my concerns.
He told me that his mom lives in Media and he is moving to the US as
soon as his work is done in Africa (which was supposed to be the next
Saturday), even gave an address in Media where he was moving (My friend
checked it out the street address does not exist). The next day he IM'd
me saying that he lost his wallet and would I send him money for plane
fare to US, because he loves me so and wants to see me and his mom.
Well, I will not go into the details of my response, but this was
certainly a lesson learned. On the positive side I did get flowers and
chocolates lol, Good luck in your search and be careful

she will regret for asking a question pardon?

Hey she was just asking a question, isnt that what it is all about on
here. I dont think she had meant to offend you in any way, every
country has issues.

matteer of fact autumn...

Yeah, just seems like the Russian ladies go after the American guys and
guys from Nigeria target the women, and Russia men do target women too.
Just a fact of life. Geez.

i just got off my yahoo.... had a email from a russian woman wanting to
be the other half so yes their are people who claim to be "russian" that
do send emails out that are in fact "Scammers"

was just emailed to me there within the last 3 hours .. next time if u
would like autumn ill send u a copy so u can see for yourself.....

facts are most of them come from russia or africa ive had both of
them... rather they are africans or russians doing the scamming is
beyond me .. could be american for all i know that is what they claim to
be is all i am saying and all she is asking here...

u stiill up buttons ?

Yeah i had an "aquaintance" who was once desperate for a real woman and
I am not sure what site he was on, but he found a very beautiful russian
woman that was willing to come over and marry him, but the people that
she was staying with needed money $1500 to be exact, and with him being
so gullible he had sent the money via western union, well of course we
all know what had happened he never heard from her again, but myself I
was almost scammed by a guy in Nigeria and he pleaded a good story, so
my point being is that no matter where you are, there are the good, the
bad n the ugly.

Marie, why u think russian ladies want US guys???

CITIZENSHIP LMAO

THNX BRO, I WAS GONNA HIT MY BASKET N SLEEP BUT I SEE A FEW STILL UP.
