Internet dating scams...
So my asshat brother suggests that I sign up for internet dating......this is what I got just recently.....it screams SCAM......
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hello Mike, How are you doing today? Well, i read through your profile and i found it interesting. l like your profile and everything you said on your profile is interesting.Anyway my name is Stephanie, 5.6ft,residing in Sacramento,CA but i am in West Africa right now where i got stuck and stranded in a hotel and need help to get back home. I am single with no kid , it's quite difficult to write about oneself when u know that others will be judging u on what u write, i'm just going to be simple and fly straight. I've been told that i'm a classy lady with a great dress sense,i'm an optimistic person who has a variety of interests ...i' m a down to earth lady who consider herself confident,intelligent,honest, romantic,spontaneous, caring with a big heart,easy to get along with positive personality, ambitious, self -motivated, secure, expressive,attentive, passionate, good christian with a good sense of humour, i love cooking, sports, movies.music i'm open minded and fun loving,little things in life count, i'm drug,smoke and disease free,i'm not into games,as they hurt, absolutely not a time waster.If you are interested in becoming better acquainted please reply asap and i have attached my pics here for you to see. Hope to hear from you. Sincerely, Lonely Steph.   Then followed up with this..... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hi Michael, Thank you so much for getting back to me..i am happy to hear from you...it really good to know you are interested in me after all the mess i have put myself into......its a long story how i ended up in here, i hope you are still interested because of my situation? because you seem not to tell me more about you. Well more about me,I love to meet new people, dance, have wonderful conversations. I like cooking for friends and going to the beach..I m a serious person, honest, who doesn`t like lies, good sense of humor, I like to smile and be spontaneous, kind and nice with people. I like a person who is really honest, who doesn`t lie, affectionate, respecful, kind , with a good sense of humor and intelligent, I am interested in a long term relationship. I know that I would make a great wife. An intelligent, beautiful, submissive wife who would treat her husband like a king is hard to find. Yet it is not impossible and i am proof. I do not think that race or religion can affect a relationship. As long as the couple loves each other and is confidant in each other there is no problem. As to distance that is no problem either, I am willing to travel to meet the ideal partner.i am a very considerate person , cheerful, honest and i always like to be myself at all times relationship is a issue that needs time to be understood because people just jump into it without checking their compatibility with the other partner at all thereby causing problems along the way , The issue of divorce is one which i dont want to come across in my life thats why i am taking time to make sure i make the right decision that will last the rest of my life and try to keep my head up at all times and be determined to be someone in life not minding what may come my way,,The kind of man i will love marry must be honest , open , sincere because all these matters in a relationship , he must be a man who will love me for who i am , and believe in me , a man that will be there for me and lend me a caring shoulder and smile to comfort me when the whole world is against me.dont let me bore you with myself tell more about yourself and what you like your ideal woman to have ...... Have a nice day, Steph |

"Hi, my name is lonely Steph. I'm looking for a man who respects me so here's a picture of me about to take off my pants. Please send me $10,000 so I can get home from West Africa and be with you."
How about we "help" you with your messages and you post the results?

If I were stranded in some foreign country, with internet access, a dating site would be near the last place I'd be wasting time. I call scam for sure.
That said, who cares, string "her" along and post the details for all of us here!

How about something like:
"I would love to help you travel here, but my account is locked up. I just inherited $30 million from a deceased uncle and it is in a local account, but I need to come up with the $25,000 lawyer and processing fees up front before I can get the money released to me. It's too bad I cannot get to it to help you with your trip back here. If I only had a way to get a little more money soon, I could be rich..."

You'll eventually end up pulling a "Robert Blake" outside an Italian restaurant, but what the hell, he got off.

And if you ask her where to send the American express money gram then google earth it,
it will take you to a place in Africa. But seriously, do you really think that it would be a good idea to send money first. I think you should propose to her and tell her your broke, but your looking for a good looking sugar momma and you want marry her. Let her know she will be in charge of all the chores and cooking plus babysitting your sisters 4 children after she moves in

Her (I mean his) English is actually better than most of the scammers I've seen. Tell her you've got a plane ticket and you're flying out to meet her tomorrow.
