Damn scammers are restless. Now they are saying they are from Gahana.

I just had a brief IM session with a scammer and I figured it out in about five or six sentences. Man these people are not very bright! Alpine UT and Gahana are so far apart! What makes them think I am looking for the mail order bride thing? If I was into that sort of thing I would go Chinese or Russian!

Oh how I love their sob stories just before asking for money. I get a craving for cheese with their wine. I provide a sad tune with my tiny violin.



NOT!

I am getting at least 2 e-mails a day on another site. They are all pretty much the same, they are "widowed", have a child, God-fearing, want a good woman to love, blah, blah, blah. Then they end the e-mail with contact me at "spankme***@*****.com" or some such clever name. (I have actually seen a woman with that name on a guy's profile.)

They have been from Nigeria, Dubai, Ghana. I had to get mad at one of them before he stopped asking me for money -- he asked 5 times!!!!

I especially like the ones who want me to arrange to cash their paychecks for them and then send them back to them, ummm, NO!!! One even asked me to open an offshore account for him, NOT!!!!

They are creative buggers.

You reported them, right?

We can't do anything about scammers if you guys don't help us and report them. We're very serious about preventing them, and we get quite a few on our own; we do, however, need your help.

Be well,

Is this the place where I can find my riiiiiiiiiiiiiiich american mens????

I did the ones on here, but the other site ones I just ignore, no way to do anything with them there.

Thanks, Lori.

Get in line Gyps - I am still cashing paychecks for the guys in Dubai and Ghana. Want to help????

My all time favorite was the one that asked me to open an account so his clients could send me his checks and then i send the money to him. Said he was from toronto but stated he was working in england. Wtf? I mean seriously, do they think we are stupid? Needless to say i told him he could shove it.

I saw them talking about them on TV, think it was Dr. Phil, some women do fall for this scam. They send them checks for $4,000 or $5,000 or so, they cash the checks through their bank accounts and the banks just cash them, no questions asked. The women keep $1,000 or so, send the rest back. Then the banks find out the checks are no good and the women are held responsible for the rest of the money the bank cashed for them on the bad checks. There is no legal recourse for them to get out of paying it back, and they can't go after the guys who send them the money, they are totally stuck and it pretty much destroys them. One woman said she checked it out, she thought. Called the number on the check, of course, it was the number on the check, part of the scam, so she thought she was safe. She got stuck having to pay back $8,000 or so, and was a single mother, thought she could make a few dollars this way.

So there are people out there that fall for it. She had no way out of it at all, and only a minimum wage job.

how's this for backward?

one man, friend only, asked for an address to send me a paperback book for my birthday. i gave him an address...cautiously...

he sent me the book, along with an angel perfume kit.

he kept the address, sending me gifts ever so often...very nice, expensive gifts. to meet other men with. he even sent me a $200 gift card to JC Penney for the kids...and a $300 check.

All without a return address, and no way to send it back. He never once asked for anything in return.

Wow, that is the exception to the rule.

????? ok whats his name???

Yeah. It would seem that all those scammer crews have moved their bases-of-operation from Nigeria to Ghana in a weak-azz attempt to throw off the fuzz. They still suck with their incessant scams, though.

So hard to believe someone would fall for this how stupid
Even if you sent one dollar by check would be carrying it too far with all the info about ID theft.
Should we feel sorry for her..............

gypsy, you'd probably know him...he was on here for a while, and was on the site that can't be named before that.

I do report each and every one!

Too bad I can't sent a tapeworm to their computer to fry it!
