Nigerian Dating Scams-Again!

On July 18th, two different TV stations covered Nigerian scam stories involving three separate female victims.  Read about their experiences here via WESH News and and here from KUSA

I’ve written a lot about scams and bad advice.  Take a look here.  In a nutshell (accurate word, nutshell), never, never, never give money to someone you met online. Not for a long, long while anyway.  And then think aobut it more than twice.

From Your Romance Coach, Kathryn Lord

Anybody interetsed in Russian women should be aware of Russian dating scams. I recommend to use dating scammers search engine and you will receive detailed information regarding the presence or location of any or specific Russian lady on dating scammers black lists and anti-scam sites. Really useful tool.

I notice on myspace you have alot of new people joining who are sending out romance interest emails. The common thread among these emails are that they have really bad english, which suggest a language barrier, misspelled words and usually the name of the person doesn’t match the dialect. Be very careful. A few sent me different emails with different pictures but when I checked the dates of joining they were all the same and the language and personal profiles sections also sounded identical. Another red flag was that the person didnt want to be added to my friends list but they immediately wanted me to communicate with them outside of myspace via an email address on yahoo. When I checked yahoo directory. The profiles matching the email addresses were not set up yet. These scammers are getting really creative ladies beware!!!

Apart from the mail order bride thing is really really sad, it’s hardly surprising that organised crime has become involved.

I wouldn’t trust anything other than a proper dating site and preferably a free dating site.

As a lady webmaster of a dating site, I see my share of scams. There is no stopping them no matter what you try. I can slow them down, but for me to stop every scam attempt would be impossible.

I tell members to report anyone who attempts to scam them. Some do and some don’t because they may of been embarrassed by a scammer. It isn’t easy to admit you sent someone thousands of dollars after only a few emails and no validation. It happens. We all must use more common sense on the net.

There are lots of profile that will lead you to an illegal site. It is very hard to stop and members should report it. The dating community should also do it’s part to preserve honesty.

I wouldn’t trust anything other than a proper dating site and preferably a free dating site.

Greetings,
In an effort to keep this communication brief and to the point, I met ‘someone’ on an internet dating site who used the photos below to represent his self.  Although I was suspicious, I continued communication with him via phone.  We did not have the opportunity to meet, because according to him, he was scheduled to leave the county within a few days of us communicating because of a business deal in Nigeria.  Within two months into a phone-only conversation he asked me to send him $17,000 to purchase a certificate (for security purposes) so that he could receive the proceeds of his business deal, which was due to yield $800,000.  Needless to say, this confirmed my suspicions that he was a fraud.
