Is it rude to not answer a message someone sends you?

Maybe there should be a standard reply with the emails that you can click on that says " Thank you for you interested. Hope you find the person you are looking for." That is a polite way of saying Thank you but no thanks.....B

advice on how to avoid scamers
Posted : 21 Dec, 2008 06:35 PM

I have been on a few different dating sites and have found most of the scammers tell a story to woman that makes your heart melt and you want to help. Here is what I have heard for the past year -



Widower having to travel and has one child normally a son living with family members. The man wants to get married and have his son live with him. He calls you baby dear or love so he does not have to remember your name. He is talking to lots of woman and they are all baby etc.



His profile is one that shows him to be highly educated, earns a high salary and the picture is normally from a magazine and scanned into his profile. The picture shows a handsome man and a face most woman find appealing.



Most of the scammers want you to communicate on yahoo IM and all have yahoo address. Most want your credit card details, have some kind of emergency and will pay you back asap but that is all lies.



Please do not give out your last name, address, bank details, credit card info. Your name and address alone will allow the scammers to look you up on people search.com and attempt to steal your ID. They will open a credit card in your name and before you know it you are in thousands of dollars debt and there is not much you can do about it.



I had a friend that was banking with wells fargo and online. A web page appeared asking for password and account verification. They put in the details thinking it was from the bank. The page looked just like wells fargo. The next day $990 was stolen from them.



These people are very clever so please protect yourselves and your ID at all times. Dont give out home phone numbers, personal email addresses - use yahoo and have an ID without your name - no home address, no personal info like where you work, and please never ever send money to anyone. They all want to use western union and you will never see a cent again. Most of them live in USA and travel to London, Paris and africa on regular intervals. Never communicate with a person who has a sick mother father in africa and they have to go home to help out. Never communicate with a person who has no family and wife died in child birth. Please guard your hearts and do not fall in love with a person you have dreams of becoming your partner for life.



If you meet someone, ensure you meet them in person, in a safe place before you start giving too much information to that person. Remember when you say no to money they will move on.....



God bless and may the spirit of God protect you and send you the person He has for you....
