Also watch out for people asking to send photos to them as they use those to pose as someone else.
Some scammers are in habit of sending online greetings cards to your email address professing undying love

Hi Shatarus

I’m afraid I can’t help you locate the real man in the photos and if I could I still wouldn’t to be honest. It is a natural response of a scam victim to want to find the real man behind the fake scammer profile but the reason is always the same … “I want to warn him his details are being used”. However the reality is (even subconciously) victims want to contact him in the hope he is the real man they have developed feelings for. Can you imagine sitting at home with your wife and kids and suddenly you get all these communications from women around the world, declaring feelings for him or trying to suss out if he would be interested. I’d rather leave the poor guy in peace.

I was just scammed but i was good enough that I didnt send him money. Very same situation also with all the girls he had ask for money. I meet him in datin.mobi. I eagerly wants to get married so when he said he was interested also, I took his bait. I fell in love with him instantly with his good words and promises. He said he is geologist working in UK but has a home in Oklahoma. He has daughter and a widower and brings her along to his workplace. Then after a week told me his company assigned hint to Nigeria and he will gonna bring his daughter with her. After a week, accident happen and his daughter in hospital and need operation. He was so confused cause his money is not enough and asking me if I could lean him and promise to pay back when he will come here to get me. When i told him I cant give, he’d changed and never chatted me again. Anyway, his name is Cole Taylor and used email add, coletay022@yahoo.com. I can see he is still operating cause i saw him online but when i provoke him and that i already know everything, he never send me a reply. So watch out anymore who will encounter his email. Thanks.

Sandy,
This story sounds a bit familiar to me. The “construction engineer”, son, and mom part. He just said his relationship ended on a sad note. Actually said he was never married.

Do you remember anymore details the gave you? Such as son’s name or mom’s name. City they lived in? He said he was from Raeford, NC. But used the name Frank.

Thanks

Sandra

Dating website scammers

I have been on various dating sites. There are fail proof methods.

!. Ask a question. Ask the same question 3 emails in a row. If there is no reply on your question, the person is copying and pasting their text and moving on to the next.

2. Choose to stay on the site for several of more emails. Do give out your email readily.

3. If you still have doubt and you want to send money, ask them to send a picture of themselves holding a piece of paper with their face on it saying “can’t wait to see you (your name)”. That will prove that they are real. Say that I think that you would understand since it is so much money.

Say also:
“If you were with me and you knew that I wanted to send money to someone based upon just words and pictures, you would slap me aside my head”.

I agree with all of this but the last one. Some (very few) people do not like to get on webcams. I’m one of them. That doesn’t make me less real or shy i just don’t like how it usually goes on webcam
