OK- some personal experience here- and I empathize with the OP. Last scammer that contacted me- was within 20 miles. Had a website that claimed that "she" was a pro-domme, but was looking for a personal slave/submissive. Claimed that "her" emails had been lost- had we corresponded in the past? (I had looked at the full profile.) Would I meet her qualifications? Lots of correspondence, although it was somewhat generic. I figured there were several filters to get through, and I did spend several hours doing the writing. I figured correctly...the correspondence lead to a request for money to show "sincerity"- something like $100. My assumption is that anyone who's gone through that many hoops is going to be hoping that this wasn't a scam, because of all the emotional investment. I hit the roof at that point and sent back a nasty email- and of course reported the profile to the good people at CM who apparently need lots of reports to do anything- because of the two scammers I've reported, both are still on this site. This profile and website shows up like a rash on the web- there's something on facebook too, and it's listed on several pro-domme sites. I must admit, I was a bit surprised- it costs a certain amount of money to put up a website and it's a lot more elaborate than most of the other scams I've seen- the scamming business must be pretty good.

quote: ORIGINAL: DarkSteven There are numerous specific things I could mention. But I have heard that collarme hopes that a full blown discussion will not take place, because them the scammers might stumble onto it and become more sophisticated. Generally, a letter that offers unconditional love and mentions nothing specific about my profile or my posts, from a lovely woman who would have no problem finding dozens of men within three miles of her but lives 7000 miles away, is a scam. Even if they do stumble on it, and adapt there are still ways to tell.

Yeah, I can't see any scammer hanging in there for months & months & months & months, or even years, of jus' bein' friends (my main approach anymore), or showing up for a neutral, plain-vanilla quickie meet-n-greet at a coffee shop without displaying their scammer-ness . . . .. The scammer thing, to me, seems to feed off of the immediate-gratification, mostly sex / kink oriented, & searching for the young hotties thing . . . . . Since I'm not in those spaces the spam-scam-wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am stuff doesn't have much traction with me . . . . & I generally don't bring a hard clit with me when I log on, I whack off before, & use my brains unimpeded by my lust to interact here & on the profile side . . . . .

if anyone asks you for anything? other than a few replies? ask them to post 600 NON NILLA posts here, or fairly be viewed as "not quite what you want to appear to be". Undercover Journo Spineless Yahoo Chochos and shills for Serb Bad Boys can't be bothered typing that much (they prefer a $100 per minute of effort ratio, which is not possible in true friendship, amore or eros).

and I've love to see any Nicola that is reddish in hue comment on how to spot a fake here, btw.
