How do scammers on dating sites
As a rule, victims of scams are becoming the user's dating who dream of marrying a foreigner.
The first letters of scams are very different from all the others: they are polite and thorough. They will tell you in detail about your hobbies and work, hinted on the financial well-being, make a few pleasant, but neposhlye compliments. Next, you will be showered declarations of feelings and will soon be offered to transfer communication with the site in the e-mail.
It should be wary if:
- The interviewee does not refer to you by name, calling you bunny, seals and other diminutive words, as well as English-speaking counterparts, if he pretends to be a foreigner.
- New acquaintance immediately insisted to leave the dating site and continue to communicate via e-mail or social networks.
- He does not write new stories are not told how he was your day, and the like.
- Immediately after reading the scammer declaration of love.

Remember, sometimes liars rewritten with multiple victims simultaneously. Typically, they use the same templates without even bothering to read the letter to the victim.
Home fraudster task - to convince you of my sincerity. The fraudster is willing to spend weeks and sometimes even months to communicate with you. He will not ask you for money, until you realize that you're in love with him. And only after that he will come up with a false situation or problem and will present it in a way that you want to help him immediately.
The most popular methods of fraud on dating sites
Expensive gift
After a few weeks of dating and stormy correspondence with love declarations potential suitor sends the victim an expensive gift: phone, laptop or piece of jewelry. Then the man "accidentally" forget to pay shipping, resulting in a present can not reach the destination, and offers to take the lady to meet them. Who would refuse to pay a few hundred dollars for an expensive laptop, given that the man promises to return the money at the meeting?
Sacrifice comes the account by mail or SMS with a link to the website of the courier service, but after sending the required amount scammer disappears with the present non-existent.
Despite the fact that in recent years has decreased the effectiveness of this method, an expensive gift is still one of the fastest and most popular ways to trick the user dating site. In addition, it has recently improved: Now as a gift to the groom can send a bouquet of flowers or a souvenir, and promise that the money invested in the parcel for unforeseen expenses. The sum for the delivery of such parcels, respectively, is small, so people do not suspect anything.
Airfare
If the idea of a joint vacation, then sooner or later the issue will appear in the course of your relationship ticket purchase. Typically, the groom comes up with various excuses such as a blocked account or not near an ATM in order to force a woman to pay not only its flight, but also his. At the meeting, of course, it will immediately give all the money, so even with interest.
As an aid for the organization of the trip the groom sends a link to the airline's website to purchase a ticket, but unfortunately, life is phishing. The money for the tickets will go to the account of a cheater, and neither ticket nor the groom does not see the victim.
Do not fall for the bait, even if the tickets on this website will be much cheaper than what you found. It is better to overpay than did lose money.
Are in trouble
Women love to help, and it is actively used by fraudsters. A few months later they are overwritten with the victim, even appointments themselves buying an air ticket, but at the last moment, the long-awaited meeting breaks, because the groom is in trouble: he was arrested, not allowed to leave the country without paying a fine, the doctors find it terrible disease, and so on. The reasons can be many, but one goal - to ask the bride money.
Typically, in such cases we are talking about thousands of dollars. By the scam often connected "relatives" of the groom, as some scenarios assume long sponsorship.
To avoid falling prey to such scams, never send even small amounts the person with whom you do not know personally.
an officer
Fraudster impersonating military, which serves as a hot spot. As in previous cases, the relationship starts with passionate letters and promises to marry as soon as the contract.
After a few weeks or months finding the officer divided: that he got captured antiques, which he wants to send his beloved to safety. surface mail will not help - need diplomatic, which does not pass the customs control. But the problem is that it would require a bribe to a few thousand dollars. This money is not an officer.
A similar scheme is applied with a large sum of money allegedly received over the years of service or a legacy.
Such scams is easy to calculate: it is enough to search for the picture on Google. Typically, scammers use photos of this war for which information is on the Internet.
Blackmailer
The most simple, but nevertheless effective way of fraud - blackmail. Most often the victims are young girls. Man enters into trust, often sends messages and calls via Skype. After some time, he proposes to move to a more intimate relationship, to send him explicit pictures or dance for him during the video.
Once the scammer receives a video or photo, begins the second phase - blackmail. Conman threatened to send the pictures to all the victims of a social network, or to paste them in the area where she lives, if you do not get the required amount.
The only way to guard against this - not to send explicit photos and videos to people with whom you do not know personally.
