I got an e-mail from a lady somewhere in Africa.  Wanted to meet a guy and move to england etc.  The email was very generic.  Did a bit of a google search and came across a number of warnings about that one.

It's difficult to mention a potential a scammer on here without violating the ToS, but I'll do my best to do it without outright naming names.

Tonight, I received a message on the other side from a Female Slave, 29 in Miami Beach, asking me to write back to one of two free webmail addresses.  My suspicions were aroused because the email was completely generic -- did not refer to common interests, did not demonstrate that she had read my profile, did not address the question of why a woman in Miami Beach is contacting a guy all the way up in Canada, and, most oddly for someone who has taken the 'slave' descriptor, did not refer to BDSM practices in any way.

Her profile consisted solely of the words "I'm so lonely" and had been up for less than a day.  No BDSM practices on the Interest list.

The combination of these various incongruities (and a few others) suggested strongly to me that this person is spamming the site, and that those who respond to the email addresses she gives will quickly find their addresses being sold to spam lists for porn sites, dating services, and penis enlargement.

Maybe I'm paranoid, but my suspicion is that there's at least fifty other guys on here who have received the very same message from the same individual.  Am I right?  Anyone else?


There is a button on the bottom of the email to report that email.  When you get to the next screen, one of the reasons you can select is this appears to be an email sent randomly to numerous users, with a spam reason. (I know because of some of the wonderful obviously cut and paste letters from some male subs.).  Report it to the powers that be......

How do people even fall for this crap?

The old adage about if it's too good to be true should kick people, and if not, common sense should.

And if it still doesn't register, I can't find any sympathy.

You're online, people.  Don't expect a free iPod.

Yours,


benji

i dont know but you cant always take other peoples word for anything; if you  dont have to go on a wild goose chase and you take it step by step you can take it or leave it and if they ask for funds you you gotta say i dont know you and pay me or something; YOU HAVE TO BE SURE.TO MAKE A DECISION IN THE BEST OF CIRCUMSTANCES.
