There are four types of online dating scams: Phone scam, Prostitute scam, Travel scam and Nigerian postal scam. In Prostitute scam, they simply place profiles on dating sites to solicit good business. These profiles usually carry steamy self-descriptions and sleazy user names. They don't waste time telling know as you probably also know. In Phone scam, the person asks you to call them and when you do, you get a bill in the mail for hundreds of dollars. In Travel scam, the person residing overseas, asks you to help them with travel expenses to visit you and in the Nigerian postal scam, the person pretends to be a relative of a diseased government official asks for your help in a financial transaction.
There are simple guidelines to keep out of such online dating scams trouble and make your online dating a simple and secure experience.
Women normally do not use sleazy name, men cannot stop thinking about sex 24*7 and it is not surprsing. In profile of people wanting to milk others for money, something vague that can fit anyone will be said. In photos, gorgeous model like women as a rule ALWAYS MEAN TROUBLE. If you still have that faint hope that she is for real and oh well...for you, look at the profile..is it detailed? A woman like that should be very picky no?. A woman who talks about bed experiments is not for real nor is a guy who says he is a millionaire. You must be about there in knowing all about online dating scams.
Look for a big mismatch in location on profile. They may state to be local and then tell you they are overseas like Russia or Nigeria. Drop profiles where there is an inconsistency between what is written and what is told...they are scams. When people may list themselves as being from Nigeria, or any other African country or for that matter, any other place under or not under the sun, remember that if anyone starts talking about honesty, trust and money transfers, simply BLOCK them. The formula is Long distance + request for money = SCAM. Should you still decide to proceed, do it for entertainment only, for kicks, don't get emotionally involved. Your education in online dating scams is now complete.
