I played along with a couple of those, and then the thought occurred to me that I was actually typing to some guy who was probably working for the Russian mafia or some such, and it totally creeped me out... Now, if they aren't from the US, I don't even bother answering. I will say, though, that doing so helps you immediately recognize when someone is trying to scam you later. Incidentally, ladies are just as much a target in these types of scams.

Don't get me wrong. I got a couple of foriegn national gal friends (that I have met on Mingle) that are legit down to earth people. More often than not, they are mildly curious about the U.S. And only after a year or so is visiting even mentioned. Hell, I was invited to vacation in Slovakia. If I could have afforded the flight I would have gone. Everything had already been discussed. " Just wanna hang out. Knock back some drinks and see the sights.....no way in hell you are moving in with me". There are regular gals and guys over seas with the same hopes, disappointments and crap that we deal with......they just don't look like friggen super models with bloom lighting on every damned photo. (Standard European trick to make their stock look better....they do the same thing with the chicks that Americans rent for porn shoots)

It would seem to me that if they had any brains, they would first try to find out how you get your income. And what you do for a living before wasting time on a guy like me that only gets a ssdi check once a month to live on. Like, WTF are they thinking?

Honestly, if you haven't read this site: http://www.datingnmore.com/fraud/scam_database.htm, and you are trying to get a date on the Internet, you need to stop what you are doing and give that site a good read. There are way too many people that have lost a lot of money due to these scams.

I once sent message to gale that i like to get to know her for her, who she is..but no responce :(

Only one message with no response...
