I would be taking time to educate people concerning the various cyber crimes and fraud available on the Internet so we don't fall victims to this unscrupulous cyber criminals. I would start this first series with tricks associated with Internet dating sites and methods of identifying a dating scam when you see it. I have taking caution to title this blog as " Come lets get married-an Internet dating scam".
Firstly, may I state emphatically that some Internet relationships do actually end-up at the aisle but due to constraints I'll limit this blog to relationships across international border. These sorts of relationships has been responsible for various identity theft scenarios, cheque fraud, online bank transfer fraud, credit card scam e.t.c so I'll start today with simple methods of identifying a fraud or Internet liar.
How do you spot a fraud or liar?
1- The first method of spotting a fraud is when you get an email message or dating mail that reads like this
"Hello dear, I just came across your profile and I'll like for us to to share a relationship. I just want a person to love me sincerely and issues like age, distance and race should not be a barrier in the face of true love. please contact me on kkkkk at ymail.com I'll be expecting your mail"
or a message like this,
"You are a very beautiful person and I want us to be friends because I want to share my life with you email me at kkkkk at ymail.com"
You notice that the message usually carry an email address and whenever the person refers to race then be sure the person is absolutely African and probably from West-Africa ( Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Liberia). They usually send messages like this without even taking time out to read through the recipients profile to know if they are compatible or if they share the same sexual orientation. This form of bulk messages are usually sent on social free networks like myspace.com or tagged.com and some even on paid social networks like Match.com, Yahoo! Personal, AmericanSingles.com, etc. Again these messages can be sent by spamming email list and using marketing mailers to send the message to a large number of people.
2- Another way of spotting if it is a fraud is if he/she tells you they are in a particular location and suddenly they have to travel to work or go on vacation to Africa, Russia, United Kingdom or Asia then be sure the person is a fraud. Why? When they meet you on a dating site they are always in a hurry to change location as this would afford them the con to tell you if they want to demand for money. Secondly so you would not be able to confirm if truly they are in the country they say they are in.
A friend of mine met a lady on a dating site who told him she resides in Tampa Florida, unknown to her, my friend was having his vacation in Florida so he suggested they meet, only for the girl to come up with a dumb story that her mom in Africa suddenly became ill and she had to travel immediately.
3- The annoying ones are the ones that say they reside in the UK. They are usually convincing but when you get to speak with them on phone you'll discover they don't sound anything British. English accent would always be recognizable any day but you get convinced when you dial the UK number. I'm sorry to disappoint you but the numbers are all UK redirect numbers that are free and works with any mobile phone number in the world. In essence, a person's phone number in Dubai can be connected with a UK number so that when the UK number is dialed it rings on your mobile phone in Dubai. Just check out this site and see how easy it is. http://www.uknumbers.com or Google for UK redirect numbers and see various sites offering the services for free.
