I suggest you make a tab a site with those known scammers pictures whom you have banned from here.
Over and over again do those scam-pictures return here.
Every time I get a message from you that someone have message me raise it a hope in me and then I notice they are scammers and it nice to see you ban them so very quick but still is it too much you do not ban before they make victims to start write to the scammers on their e-mail.
I hope you can tell members to stay talking on here for a week before they write in e-mails.
Also should it be an update on tips how to detecting a scammer because they develop their knowledge how to write a mail to scam.
I work very much to catch the scammers and 90% can I tell they are scammers immediately.
Often start the contact with a expert or the manager for the group of scammers and it take me some days to know they are scammers as soon they think we are in love do they let a young boy or girl take over and I can tell they are scammers.
Have brought up the issue on fake profiles to the admin and I told them how come they allow anyone to not use their given names or even nicknames. I'm not saying that you are a scammer by just using a phrase for your name. I just don't understand what some people here are afraid of, because others are just bored probably not doing the will of God and are here for wicked purpose. And I don't often respond to a wink because this is not something serious. So I suggest, just be who you are.
If a scammer sends you a message and you start to communicate and he seems nice, ask him a specific question and ask him to answer you on video. Ask him to record himself with his cell phone as he answers your question and send you the video. If he is a scammer, he will say "Oh, no, my cell phone broke!" or "I don't have a cell phone." Most of these scammers will not post a photo of themselves. They will use someone else's photos. So, they don't want to get on camera for you to see that they aren't who they claim to be. ;-)
Not always is a video any proof. A lot of scammers even want you on KIK and some others. i know this one site that deals with scammers, and they told me that they have the technology to fake the video's. He told me not to trust them. And of course don't give out your email address. I never do... I did a while back, and I felt like someone was in my computer, my mouse was going crazy. I shut down my computer real quick. I don't know if it was my imagination, but I am not going to take any more chances. Also, I avoid now getting involve with anyone in another state. If someone isn't in my state, and can't meet me for coffee or anything, they are crossed off of my list.
Video or Skype is no guarantee that he is not scammer. Pictures were same as him, but two weeks in asked for money. Bye bye.
I gave found if they are divorced or widowed with one child they have custody of, but mother/sister/grandmother watches them while they work out of state - red flag.
I have learned to tell scammers almost immediately as well. On this site alone, since I joined in March 2017, I have counted about 59 scammers who've messaged me.
a) Their picture is almost ALWAYS that of someone too-good-to-be-true gorgeous. In fact, sometimes (not every time, mind you), if you look at the lighting, posing, etc., it is not a casual snapshot, but clearly a professionally-shot pic of a model of some sort. I think once, maybe twice, the lady was unimpressive in appearance.
b) They are anxious to get to communicating with you outside the site, instantly or very soon asking for "gmail hangout", phone #, or providing theirs.
(I've been tempted to just call the numbers they provide. Sometimes, when they give email addresses, I'll send them the email addy of another scammer or sign them up to over 100 newsletters from around the 'net, some of them less than savory.)
c) Their english is broken or... off. Oftentimes they are from Ghana, and like other Africans, they have trouble with the pronoun "I", using instead "Am here seeking for soulmate..." Or, they may say something like "I really liked your profile it was very beautiful profile text me here ### so we may no each other and see where this leads..." Stupid stuff like that.
Sometimes, rarely, they're really good and you cannot immediately tell. But, at some point their story doesn't add up. E.g...
d) Their self-description in their profile and their photos do not line up. (Can you say "stupid"??!!??)
e) Their profiles will say something like "Dallas, TX", but when you ask them where they're from, they'll give a different place. Yes, they are that stupid.
It may be some or all of these that you notice, but if you see any of these elements, tell them you're onto them (I love letting them know that I know, and they'll protest and say something like "Are you mad? Why you say such thing to me?"), or just block them, and report them to the site immediately.
