Its nice to receive contribution like this.

From Debbie:
Just wanted to alert you to, what I believe, may be a different turn on a traditional scam.  Yes, through an online dating site, he started a chat with me, which proceeded to yahoo chatting.  We have/had been chatting for over 7 months ( which I was dupped to begin with).  I always figured the scammers were in a rush to make their kill and then move on to the next.  Oh, by the way, I have worked in the electronic financial industry for many years, so I do keep on top of money fraud & checks, etc...

Did you actually fall in love with one of these "chicks"? What you see is not what you will be getting...

Watch and listen to this latest version of the hit song from the "Titanic". Sam called it the "Muguantic". (Mugu = scammers)
 

Here is a good news article about love scam targeting seniors.

"Men and women who typically work out of Nigeria or Russia (but claim to be living in America) develop relationships with Americans they meet on Internet dating sites. They send e-mails filled with romantic poetry and promises of their undying devotion, in hopes that this would assure a cash advance to pay for a fake hotel or plane bill. The victim believes that the relationship is sincere, but ends up with broken dreams and an empty pocket book.

The emotional betrayal may be worse than the lost money."

So you have a pretty nice picture of your lover from the internet? You might be "chatting" with one of these guys somewhere on the other side of the world.



And watch the full slide presentation by RomanceScam.
Great presentation, and music - I hate myself for loving you!

This article talks about a scammer recruiting ladies at an internet dating site, to help him ship some merchandise bought with stolen credit cards. The merchandise were supposed to be shipped to Ghana in Africa, where the scammer is staying.

This is similar to the job scams where "money mules" were recruited to help receive and remit money earned from scams, to the scammer's bank account. A money mule may not need to be located in Africa, and does not know that he has been used in a scam.

Love (scams) are used to earn the trust of victims. Once the scammers have earned that trust, it becomes their useful "tool" for any other scam, e.g. fake business venture, send cash, run "errants", or even buy a birthday present.

Urghh! Another Freddy on the lose! Watch your bank account! The girls are fake! Their love are fake! Their boobs may be fake! But they definitely love your money!!

btw, the word "single" is spelt wrongly...

Ave, my gentleman

I don't know about life abroad if it is better then here or not. But I know
certainly that it can't be happy if you don't love, if you are not beloved.
Am I right? Do you have everything for true happiness? As for me, I am not.
That is why I am writing you now and the reason of my letter: attempt to get
acquainted with you.  I am not sure you will want to connect with Ukrainian
woman. "It's so far and how can't be sure that it doesn't attempts to
deceive me' you may think. I don't have such efforts to persuade you now
that I am do real and it is true that I like you and do want to know you, to
get acquainted with you and  to invite you to my country one day. But if you
write me http://thelovingplace.net/romanticyou and if we have time to communicate, you will understand that all your fears were in vain and it worth getting acquainted.

Yourth faithfully
Rocy M
