Internet dating: Catching spammers and scammers
August 14th, 2009 by

Any opportunity that comes online is first hand exploited by scammers. In fact a better word for people such as these would be “opportunists”. Their sole interest is in parting unsuspecting people with their money with elaborate schemes and plots. The typical way that these scammers work is:
Register on a dating site and make a fake profile.
They hunt for people who “look” unsuspecting and innocent by looking into their profile.
Contact them and by passing the dating sites security measures by taking their instant messenger handle or email and start to “sell” them stories about how they were cheated or tricked into giving up their wealth.
Over time the scammer will establish good trust with the person and use it to leverage his cause.
Then starts their real business: the person will ask for money using various excuses for instance for airfare, to get over a tough financial situation, to pay a debt etc.
If the person complies then more of such requests will follow until either the person realizes what is going on or stops or just goes broke.
The scammer rinses and repeats.
