Scams are increasing and every one is targeted.
Since I lost my Jennifer who passed away this year, I decided finally to look for someone to share my life with and joined some dating sites. As a result I have seen an increase in scams being sent to my cellphone and email inbox. Of course having many years ago fallen for a date scam, and having seen many other scams, I am too long in the tooth and wise to be taken in by these criminal fools?
However, too many desperate people who have less online experience can easily fall prey to these low life blood sucking scum who use various methods to trick decent people into either sending money or revealing their banklog in details believing they are in touch wirth their dream date or helping someone out of a desperate (invented lie excuse) situation.
There is no level too low that these vermin won't stoop. The worst one from Facebook messenger was with a picture of some dear old lady, (probably sent by a young man or woman in Nigeria or some other country), who told me she was a God fearing Christian who was diagnosed with terminal cancer and could die any moment. He (she) asked me to help finish a project to help build a new school in Nigeria for the children using her saved $58,000.000 and to use the remainder for myself? An obvious scam often used and similar to several I have seen before!
Other scams are mentioned on my website in a FREE REPORT I am giving away on my latest website http://onlinedatescambusters.com and would welcome comments from my friends here at WA and also if you can write about other scams I have not yet mentioned in order to build as cmprehensive list of common scams as possible?
Thank you all my friends and fellow WA members.
Stephen & Jennifer.
