marlene1105 Citrus Heights, CA age: 51	The men usually claim to be Engineers, own some type of company or Doctors. Their spelling is terrible. They usually claim to be in love with you after just a few chats. They are usually widowed or their wife left with their best friend. Travel a lot, most of the time, out of the country. They will ask you for money.

classyladychgo Worth, IL age: 45	Most of the scammers are easy to spot fast. The broken english, they claim to live in the states somewhere. They are looking for a soulmate or lifetime partner etc etc blah blah. They will give a yahoo email address in the first email. Dead give away they are a scammer. From what I have heard what they mostly want is a bank account number or personal info of some kind. Not sure on the pattern or how long it takes them to get what they want, I never let them get past the first email with "Write me at iamascammer@yahoo"

Thats funny, I am a test engineer and a bad speller as my first language is Greek and not English. lol as for money, no I do not take money from people. as for love, that take more time than a few date. my two cents...

Fakes, well really listen to words they say, does it really sound truthful ? Remember the salesman in the plad jacket ?? He'll sell you anything at whatever cost just to close the deal.... If he's any kind of a person, there will be no pressure at all& (NO DEAL), get to know someone for awhile first, talk about family,personality,things in common,check out the person alittle..... Im on tagged and plenty of fish and here... we've talk before..... Whats on my profile ??? Remember ??? FRIENDS...... things will take a different course if both shall feel it, NO RUSH..... Hell were 50, we've got time to explore.... Dont be in a hurry ! If a person pushs forget it.... YOUR TERMS REMEMBER ! Make friends, have fun.... things take a course if there meant to be ! Hope it helped alittle Marlene ! Brian,.

bones01 Morehead City, NC age: 60	When a gal in her 20s or 30s writes and says she fell in love with me based on my profile, then it's time to have some fun. After 5 or 6 mails they always delete their profile. Never give out any personal info. Ever> They can make your life miserable just by knowing your SSN.

darhlynn Chattanooga, TN age: 46	"I saw your profile and found you intriguing .Your personality of and fun loving is very attractive to me. You seem quite intelligent and have a mature perspective on life.I'm looking for a longterm relationship maybe could lead to marriage if things work out well,one I could spend the rest of my life with.and i am willing to relocate if we get along .would you love to chat through mails, am ========= at YH mail cos am not frequent on this site, looking forward to hear from you. Love Thoughts," This one is definitely a fake! My profile has little to do with what he said. His profile shows he makes like a million annually. I wrote saying I had some ocean front property in AZ I'd sell him. I've seen a bunch just like this one.

ladyeden Waynesville, MO age: 49	Some are wising up and don't do the yahoo til the 2nd or 3rd email now. They always want information about you - but answer nothing about themself. They fell in love with you from your profile - but never mention anything specific contained in your profile. Overboard with endearments and reads like harliequin romance. Usually they work off a set cycle of canned scripts. If I'm in doubt I say nothing else but ask them to answer 3 questions for me the last movie they saw, last book they read and what was my name (don't type it at the end)

justuamdme Nutley, NJ age: 49	Classy, I understand your statement, but I have to respectfully disagree with the email issue.In my case I wouldn't hesitate to communicate via my email. I use my real name which should add some comfort, in addition it insures a timely response. Just a thought!!

justuamdme Nutley, NJ age: 49	Hi Dahr, I will have to agree with you on this one! If the message you received is identical to your post my thought is simply this, I personally don't know anyone in the 7 figure salary that writes in that fashion. This is only an observation and not meant to be critical, maybe a lottery winner??
