Hey guys just wanted to know if you have identified any users as a scammer lately. I have encountered a few since I got here, and some of their profiles are still active.

The most common has been a gal claiming to be in America and after you message with them they reveal they're from the states but not living there now and both their parents are dead. In fact last night I emailed a gal who said she lives in England and she told me her mom abandoned her and her father recently died; now I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. Most of them have been from Nigeria (I can tell by the way they speak) but this one I think is from somewhere else.

Also there are a few recruiters for uadreams.com here, I have reported a couple but they get cleared every time. Their scam is to get your email address, and when they have it they make you an account on the uadreams.com site that is impossible to delete. That entire site is nothing but a scam just so you know, the members are models who get paid to bilk unsuspecting guys out of a lot of money.

The ones I have encountered have been from Nigeria and Ghana. All of the ones who have contacted me have been banned.

the unfortunate thing is even though thia is a christian site theres no guarantee of bad people amidst us...had an encounter with a specific guy from england who wanted me to visit hom within two weeks of chatting together...the guy was ready to pay the travelling expenses via an airline to me he sounded like a trafficker of some sort...crosscheck with true caller gave a different id and again there was lots of inconsistencies in what he does and where he lives...to make the long story short just wants to tell the ladies to be vigilant there might not juat be scammers here but also traffickers....my experience.

That gal sounds like one in Malaysia who showed interest in me.



Maybe I should consider myself fortunate that they only try to scam me out of money. Trafficking attempts would be very frightening.

Agree with you about that for sure. You know even on livemocha back when it was an open user-generated community I didn't talk with any Malaysians to know what their common errors were. Just a bit of a tip, the usual flaw with a Russian or Ukrainian's (and many other eastern European native languages) is they misuse 'the' such as use it when they shouldn't or don't use it when they should. Their languages don't contain such a word.
