Forum Übersicht - 2.2. Romance-Scam » Typische Anzeichen für Romantik - Scammer!

HINTS THAT INDICATE A SCAMMER- MORE THAN 3 HINTS IS A SCAMMER. E.g. social networks - dating sites etc.

• THE PROFILE IS RECENT
• ONLY ONE PHOTO
• MANY VIEWERS IN A SHORT TIME

• THE GRAMMAR IS BAD
• MANY RESPONSE IN A SHORT TIME
• FRIENDS LIST SHOWS VERY OBVIOUS SCAMMERS-THEY COMMENT ON EACH OTHERS PROFILES

• RESPONSES ARE MOSTLY TO GROUPS LIKE OLDER GUYS/LADIES FROM 1ST WORLD COUNTRIES
• THEY SHOW THEIR EMAIL ADDRESS OR PHONE NUMBER
• THEIR MESSAGES ARE NOT PERSONAL

• MANY AFRICANS SAY THEY ARE IN USA OR SHOW THEIR RACE AS "NATIVE AMERICAN" NATIVE AMERICANS ARE RED INDIANS
• THEY USE YOUR EGO- NO BEAUTIFUL 30 YEAR OLD IS INTERESTED IN AN ORDINARY GUY OF 50 PLUS!!!
• THEY SHOW PHOTOS OF A GORGEOUS WHITE CAUCASIAN GIRL AND SAY THEY ARE IN NIGERIA. "GIRLS" LIKE THIS WOULD NOT BE IN A 3RD WORLD COUNTRY!

• THEY ARE PUSHY AT 1ST MEETING FOR YOUR CONTACT DETAILS - STOP AND THINK
• THEIR RESPONSES DON'T MAKE SENSE OR ARE OUT OF CONTEXT
• THEY ASK FOR MONEY DON'T USE YOUR CREDIT CARD WITHOUT SEEING YOUR PROVIDER

• CREATE A YAHOO/SKYPE ONLY FOR CONTACTS AND DON'T USE YOUR REAL NAME TO HELP PREVENT SCAMMERS GAINING ACCESS TO YOUR PERSONAL INFO
• TAKE SENSIBLE PRECAUTIONS SUCH AS MAKING CERTAIN YOU SEE THE CONTACT ON WEB CAM

IF THEY DO NOT HAVE WEB CAM AND YOU THINK MAYBE THIS PERSON IS GENUINE SEND US$10 OR SO BY WESTERN UNION.
THIS WILL BE ENOUGH IN ANY COUNTRY TO PAY FOR THEM GOING TO A INTERNET-CAFE THAT HAS WEB CAM.

IF THEY SAY, IT IS BETTER TO VIEW THEM AT A SITE OTHER THAN YAHOO, SKYPE & MSN DELETE, BLOCK AND CEASE ANY CONTACT WITH THEM IMMEDIATELY!! THEY ARE CONNING YOU!

THIS WAY YOU WILL KNOW AT LEAST THAT THE PERSON ACTUALLY EXISTS AND THAT IT IS NOT A GUY WORKING A SCAM WHO IS PRETENDING.
TO BE A WOMAN OR A WOMAN PRETENDING TO BE A MAN.

AND THINK WITH THE BRAINS GOD GAVE YOU, AND DO NOT GET CARRIED AWAY BY MANIPULATORS OF YOUR EMOTIONS.

Nur als Beispiel: Ich habe mir heute die Arbeit gemacht und den beliebten Scammer Namen Collins Brown bei Facebook gesucht. Sensationell, nachdem 40. Fake Profil habe ich aufgehört zu zählen. Alle Kritierien an denen man ein Scammer Profil erkennt waren vorhanden. Kurze Aufzählung:

Lebt (meist) in Groß Britanien
Beruf: Selbständig (self employed/contractor) oder bei der US Armee
Familienstand: verwitwed/geschieden
Musikgeschmack oft der eines Teenies (R&B Hip Hop)
