Admin	Which one is ya??? Posted : 4 Dec, 2010 10:23 PM Earlier to day I had a message with the photo of a lovely caucasian woman old enough to be my daughter, her ethnicity was listed as African American and her opening line was something to the affect that she was a cheerful and happy Chinese woman blah blah etc. and she even gave me her personal email so she could send me more photos! hehe Have any of you guys noticed a higher number of these type of scammer notes today or am I just an irresistible guy with all the luck? just wondering...

Maybe I'm too young for their tastes. Then again, I may have settings set so that no one can message me from outside the US. I can't remember. Post Reply

On a related note : On one hand I happy this site usually catches, bans and deletes these scammers in 24 hrs. On the other hand they usually have the hotest profile pics! Post Reply
View Profile History	Which one is ya??? Posted : 5 Dec, 2010 05:51 AM Tulip, you are too young. They figure a guy your age doesn�t have a problem with getting girlfriends. They prey on the loneliness of us older guys who many times are desperate enough for just about anything. I got two within just a few hours yesterday. Oh, and blocking overseas messages doesn�t help, all they have to do is state that they live in the US. Post Reply

View Profile History	Which one is ya??? Posted : 5 Dec, 2010 10:29 AM Don't feel bad, Cobbler. I can't fit into half of my clothes =( Regarding scammers -- not sure I've ever seen one. Several months ago, I received 2-3 messages that had this message about them being deleted or something... But I don't know why. I get a lot of creepy messages, but I don't think they're scammers. They're either guys completely lacking in social skills or sexually creepy. I tend to lean towards the latter -- maybe because I met the guy who raped me on a dating site (Christian Mingle). Somebody wanting my money is the least of my worries... Post Reply
View Profile History	Which one is ya??? Posted : 5 Dec, 2010 11:16 AM It's easy to weed out the scammers. They always want to chat on Yahoo or give you a yahoo email address. They do not respond well to "no" or to "I don't have enough money to . . " On another site I once met a girl that wanted me to buy her an airline ticket so she could come see me for a few weeks. When I told her that my private jet was in Bonn, Germany and I could have her picked up in the morning she stopped talking to me. Poor girl missed out on a tremendous opportunity!! :ROFL: Thunder Post Reply
View Profile History	Which one is ya??? Posted : 5 Dec, 2010 12:13 PM Maybe they're gold diggers. They think older men have more money then younger men (who they assume are probably in college and therefore are broke), and can help them get into America (or just get richer). Just a thought; I can't recall ever dealing with a scammer before, although the comment about chatting on Yahoo is a bit troublesome. Then again, some Yahoo users may be genuine, so making that generalization isn't always a good idea until you know for sure. Post Reply
