Is it easy to tell if someone is a scammer?

I have been dating online for about one year, and I have met some wonderful and beautiful women, even some scammers, and yes I was taken in by their charm, but I never sent money. After a while of getting to know these women and their language, it becomes easier to know the good ones.

I agree after being on various dating sites it has become fairly easy to tell whos who most of the time its all in the first email they seem to say the same thing in different ways and so far the dead give away hase been the sick friend,parent or other family member so far every woman I have talked to online that mentions this in the first contact has been a scammer
my favorite one sofar is the one that sent me pictures of three different woman and she claimed them all to be herself at to top it off finally got her on web cam and none of the pics she sent were actually her though she was cute
by the way I do enjoy playing the game

I find it quite easy yo tell a scammer from a qenuine person who is out the looking to find a partner .Afew of the way i have ben able to tell is the way they will write to to and either say i lost a rich husband or after a few months of contact will start looking for money form you iwould never give money to a stranger. best thing to do if you think there a scammer ignor them or repot to admin on the site so they can be removed and not try to rip off any one else.

I have been on this dating site for a short time. I keep waiting for reply messages and I get none. I must be doing something wrong. Oh well the ladies on this site are absolutely stunning. I have told my friends about this site and as Canadians they are looking for women from outside of Canada.

I discovered one on this site and reported it to a customer service who confirmed that she was a scammer. I feel the majority of the woman i have viewed or contacted are not scammers and i will be able to tell if they are

I have noticed that some of the women on this site are also registered on a site known for scamming. I'm hoping that this does not mean that each of these women are scammers, but are merely members of a website with a bad reputation. Still, I will pay very close attention to the kinds of messages I receive from anybody now.

I do not enjoy the game, but I'm much happier being educated.

Think you are the best at telling who is a scam artist humm. you may be partially right for the most part. Dont be fooled,some of these college educated people are very smart and could be making money in lots of other ways.Some of these professional people will front
you for a year or so to gain your trust you may not even realize what happend. For the most part you should always use your common sence.Please remember there are many ways to be scamed ,the computer being the best tool they have for information.a little information is a dangerous thing. For the most part you should ask questions and if it sounds to good to be true then be carefull.

I have visited several sites that give out information on how to recognize a scammer as well as specific details on those who are actively doing so. Obviously if the woman writes to you like she's writing a script for a movie (long-winded stories of their tragic past, i.e., parents killed in car crashes, horrible ex-boyfriends, etc.), there's something wrong with the person. If they actually write to you the way a human being would talk to you and answer questions posed to them, they are probably legit.

I HAVE SEEN A FEW PHOTOS OF SCAMERS IN THIS SITE, BUT THERE IS ALWAYS A POSIBILITY IN ANY WEBSITE TO HAVE SCAMERS.
THE BEST WAY TO AVOID THEM IS NOT TO ANSWER TO MONEY REQUESTS, OR TOO GIVE MUCH INFORMATION ABOUT OURSELVES, UNTIL WE ARE TOTALLY SURE THEY ARE NOT SCAMERS, BUT WE CAN NOT BE 100% SURE, SO WE NEED TO USE OUR BEST JUDGEMENT.

I WISH YOU ALL GOOD LUCK

hello to anyone that may wish to read my message. If you dont mind me going off the beaten track a little. I agree that an element of judgement is needed for both men and women to avoid missmatch or distress. I have been a member now myself for around 4 months, and yes i have found someone fantastic which i have been in touch with everyday for around 3 and a half months. The problem is for me that she read this forum and found it upsetting and degradeing as much as i did. Have some honor lads, it felt like i had to explain why some messages are steriotyping women and bitter. Im sorry if you think im wrong and not added this to the correct area. Thankyou ... 34b

yes , mick !!!

scammers are only a few ...!!

lots of wonderful persons (F&M) can be put off by reading what is written by some ...

discernment is better = NEVER forget that scammers exist BECAUSE some men are foolish enough to believe that a 20 Y.O. beauty that would damn all saints of paradise on a smile would accept to sleep with a 50 Y.O. bald and fat pig-raiser from Iowa ...!

so it is BOTH responsible for situation !!!

I've met some incredabley super ladies in the Ukraine and middle Russia and we have become very good friends .
Don't rush .... take the time to get to know the person ..... in turn .... they get to know U .
The Internet is a communication device , communication is a two way street .

the scammer letters are pretty obvious, of coarse a good sign is when they don't answer your questions, I'm sure anyone with internet experience on dating sites has encountered this at some point or another.

Come on guys... Use your heads..... That is what they are there for. It is no wonder they think most of us are idiots by this point.

One simple method I use is the IP address search. Each email you receive has an originating address that you can use. Take this to an IP search engine and find out where it is coming from. This is just one useful tool! However, a scammer has never given me a phone number.....
