Dear Readers,
When you are on one of the dating sites, does your inbox get a lot of messages from people that use the words "dear" or "sincerely request"? Is the sentence structure wonky? Are they flattering you so much in their initial message to you that it feels unreal?
Well, guess what? Those messages are from scammers. The internet dating sites all have huge boxes warning you to not answer mail from scammers but they don't give examples of what those messages look like. The image here is taken from my own inbox on one of the sites I belong to.
Another clue is their request to talk off the dating site so soon. Sure, I have talked to men by personal email, but it is ONLY after communicating for a couple of weeks and there is enough history to warrant getting off the site. Also, their subscription to the dating site is ALWAYS about to run out. Sure it is...
Why are the scammers so common on dating sites? 99% of the time they are are either from Nigeria wanting your money or foreigners looking for a green card. Their sweet-talking ways have obviously fooled a lot of people out of their money or broken their hearts for quite a while now. Don't you be one of them!
Be safe out there! Can anyone else relate?
