I met a scammer long ago too, he was supposed to come back home and we chatted only for 2-3 months. As always an emergency came up while he was on airport and he asked me to send him 400 dollars so he can take medical treatment. I was like if you are on a airport, they do have paramedics there and you don’t have to pay anything there . And how come you are not contacting your family members if you are about to be in hospital for medical emergency, who would call a random person they just met few months ago online over their own family and friends. Even though I was very young and naive I knew that it doesn’t make sense at all that one “extremely wealthy” guy is calling me for 400 dollars so he can get admitted in a hospital. I Mean come on, I get so shocked when people actually believe this excuses and give these scammers money. I would rather let him die if he can’t arrange for 400 dollars on his own, he has no right to date anyone.

The scammers are like magicians. Once you know the trick, it’s no longer amazing. I weed them out by asking about local stuff or even make up something… “ Do you drink Cuban coffee from Lupe’s cafe, on Mylligan blvd? “. If they say yes you got a scammer. A few questions about local landmarks or local culture is all you need. Let them know you will send something better than money, your prayers.

She would not believe me, even though she knows I have knowledge on this subject. My Sheriff and shift Sergeant and I are still friends and told me they are dealing with this increasingly. My mother is out about $24,000 that I know of, and I have been doing some deep research. I found out China is working with the officials in Nigeria and India in order to protect these scam rings, such as Black Axe, in order to economically weaken certain western countries.

Dating apps are a cesspool of scammers. My husband of 39 years died in early 2014. In late 2016 I joined OK Cupid. 3 men tried to romance me. I had to pressure each one to speak on the phone and when they called they had accents ! The next step would have been them asking for money but I told each one to scram once I heard the accents. Was I lonely? Yes but I was not desperate or naive. Why in the world would would any SMART, educated woman send $ to a stranger? What gets me is that there are so many people out there who are so naive/stupid, that they actually think that someone that they have never met has any real affection for them. It shows a tremendous lack of life experience, a lack of knowledge about the real world.

I'm getting these all the time. I cannot understand how people can be so stupid as to fall for them! You can see that this is not a real American military officer or doctor or engineer, or a Swiss banker, or whatever, just from their language. It is so bad. They use capitalization and apostrophes wrongly, and their language is so direct and simple. And who would come from nowhere and contact a strange person like that..? It doesn't happen. It would be more clever to build up a persona in for intance a Facebook group over a long time, where you talk about the subject of the group in great detail, be it archaeology or military aircrafts or vegan cooking, discuss with potential victims at the page several times, and also publish your own posts. Before you send a friend request. That is how I would do it! :) But these scammers do not take the time to do that... but still people fall for it?! :o

Except it is not illegal for a person to gift or give their money away--their choice. I mean a person can get all their money out of their bank and throw it out on the street if they want. So I don't see the crime since nobody forced them to give their money away. A scam is like selling fake property or land and getting money for that. These romance scams are more along the lines of gifting. I can see where it is also a crime if the victim is elderly and has dementia.
