Posted: 5/21/2008 9:21:05 AM | I just got a love note from one real young fella....he's in the Army....In Iraq
(Infuriates me that the scammers are now using this for their little game.) The last soldier that wanted to love me, also wanted me to take care of billions of dollars that he and his buddies were trying to take out of Iraq and bring home....I didn;t wait around to see how much "my take" would be....I reported him.
I can't decide whether or not to ask THIS guy if he needs help getting the money out...he hasn't mentioned it...Of course, that would alert him to the fact that I KNOW it's a scam. Guess I answered my own question....
Lookout POF, I've got some more mail for ya.... Keep up the good work!
Fondly,
KK | |

Posted: 5/21/2008 9:25:23 AM | Best thing to do is take the address he wants you to send the money to:
tell him you going to send him double, (but you actually send him nothing at all, never send money to men on internet sites, didn't you learn anything from your mother laughing out loud)
Then when he has confirmed the money is on its way, BLOCK HIM AND REPORT HIS PROFILE he is a scammer.
NIGERIA is the key word for the male scammers and RUSSIA for the men from girls who desperately need to be in England/America/anywhere but russia, strip mens bank account and disappear.  | |

Posted: 5/21/2008 7:10:43 PM | I just spent a bit of time reading this thread and yes the original post was 2 years ago but parts are still funny and interesting.
The sad part is people are still sending money to these scammers and they are still on the net.
I was contacted by a guy who said he was in the same city as myself and needed money so he could get back to the provence he came from. Like yeah im stupid and will send a total stranger money. NOT. The funny thing was he never mentioned Nigeria once in the conversation but it was still a scam.
BTW to the people who like to send money to total strangers i will be your friend but my hoard of children need to go to summer camp, at a $300 a week for 8 weeks and they are not in Nigeria. | |

Posted: 5/21/2008 11:06:21 PM | Any man or woman who asks you for money is scamming you. Block them and report the to the admin. They'll delete their profiles. I've had 2 men(?) try this scam with me and I enjoy stringing them along. That way they think they have a gullible fish on the line. Then when they hit me up for money, I let them know I've been playing them instead of the other way around. They sure get upset! It can be pretty funny. | |

Posted: 5/25/2008 1:21:42 PM | Ohhhhhhh...I am so damn glad that I looked this up!!! I feel so much better for being a leary **** now....
I met a guy on match. Started talking to him by email and chat on yahoo. He said he was a geologist and had lived in houston for 4 years. Lived all over Europe and South Africa. Worked all over the world. I know other men that have worked in oil, so that didn't suprise me. Said he was just about to leave o n his next job right when I met him. He was going to Nigeria. Didn't even think about a scam. We started talking on the phone. BUt very little. I told him I don't make alot and have kids and can't afford it. Basically like a few minutes and then we would get online. He was very forward about his feelings for me in about a 3 week period of time. RED FLAG! I guess he thought that since his pics were so hot and I am a big girl, that I would fall for that sh1t. No dice, baby! I told him that I thought it was a little creepy. Yesterday he asked me for finacial help because he didnt have access to his account in Houston and he didnt bring enough money with him. I thought that was stupid. RED FLAG!! He is supposed to be so smart and wealthy! Hello? Credit cards? Travelers checks? Duh? I got mad and then he acted all hurt and mad that I didn't care about him....drama, drama, drama!!
I basically sent him an email after I thought about it today and told him never to contact me again. I blocked him from IM, and am changing my phone number, but I blocked the last number he called from. I told him that I didnt believe that he said he was who he said he was and that I think he's a creep.
I am just glad that I didn't really fall for him. That would have sucked a fat mule's a$$!! | |

Whether or not people are responding to an OP on a 2 year old site....the problem is MUCH older than 2 years old....and, I'm guessing that there are many more people reading the replies, even if the OP is no longer here.
My thinking is that even if one new person, who is unaware of this type of scam (as I was not at the onset of my cyber career) reads the postings and becomes aware, thus, saving themselves both the loss of money or even heartbreak, then it's well worth it.
I hope that you, too are learning things every day...It makes for a very interesting life. I should know...I've been at it for awhile...and, still learning. Now the problem is....
remembering what I learn....
Just my thoughts,

Posted: 5/25/2008 3:08:02 PM | Knittin Kitten,
I do agree with what you say, I guess I was a little too harsh.
Here is where I find it a little silly (and may go to the rule about redundant threads) is where people actually are replying to the OP with basically the same response that the 100 previous people came out to say ("It's a scam" etc.). I could see if the thread evolved and became an ongoing conversation regardless of the OP's presence or not. This way, people can share their own experiences as well as maybe some nuances others missed, etc. But that is rarely what happens, and sometimes the irony of someone responding to a 2 year old thread telling the OP that they are gullible just isn't lost on me.
But, that's certainly not to say that what you've said here isn't correct, it certainly is. And yes, learning should never stop, no matter your age, your experience level, formal or informal education level or otherwise.
Thanks, Knittin Kitten. | |

Posted: 5/25/2008 6:25:07 PM | | girl please if a guy ask me for money and cusses me out . i wouldn't even be talking to him a 2nd time. Especially if i don't know him. wake up thats all he wants from you is money. Hes getting mad because he can't charm his way in getting it. leave that one along. Tell him to get to stepping and you run while you are ahead. | |

You've Got Mail.....
Thanks for your post...I hear ya....People responding to the OP in 2 year old threads? I see that all the time......Doesn't it tell you the same thing it tells me...They don't bother to read up on the subject. They just look at the last few posts and go on from there......
As I've mentioned before....it just helps me in my weeding process ... 
But, I wanted to say, for all to see....that I appreciate your post and think highly of you for it.

Never send money.
I had one checked out as my girlfriends cousin is a cop in the USA in fact this scammer said they lived at a certain address which was one hour away from my girlfriends town. No such address, I used to get alot of them in yahoo. They go for dating sites and chat rooms, their all ages both genders. Never fall for hard luck stories
I often wondere if I was silly enough who would of got that money anyway seen no such address. Be careful also if someone wants you to take a parcel and you sell the goods thats another scam. Always listen to gut feelings. There is a website that you can report these people, I know others have rang their local police. | |

Posted: 5/26/2008 3:37:52 AM | | run like hell and dont look back. I had a man asking me for lmoney too. he was asking me about my bank account and shit and of ocurse i lied to him abouat all of it and i asked him why are you asking me these odd questions and he said becuae i need money and i siad well u aitn gonna get it from me so f off. A man who cares for you at all is not gonna ask you for your money. by the way, never take money from a man who claims he will send u check, money order or anyting else. its a huge scam. Lose the loser and fast. he told you he feels you and he are soul mates. ya well thats only until he makes you pennyless. then he will have no use for u at all. Dont be naive. Tell him what a sorry ass he is and then never speak to him agian. he preys on women by using their feelings to steal every penny a naive women has. | |
