Online Dating Scammers Part 2

Why are there so many online profiles TEXT xxx-xxx-xxxx?

Who in their right mind would text somebody without a little email foreplay? And, if nothing else, it keeps you from giving a that sociopath, who represents three percent of the population in men (and two percent for the ladies) your phone number!

But who am I to judge how people meet each other in these new fangled ways. All I've learned is that most scammers want you to call them right away.

Take Thomas for instance.

Hello, how are you doing today hope good. I'm Thomas,I saw your profile and i couldn't help my self but send you a wink . Would so much like to hear and learn more about you.Am a very fun, caring, sweet, romantic,adventurous,loving and kind man. I'm here to find someone to be happy with, & give all of the love I have in my heart to share with a life partner, I just want anything I get myself into at this time of my life to be the last relationship of my life that would last FOREVER! So i believe contacting you today has a good reasons and due to the fact my subscription will be off soon with no intent on renewal can we do this via email? bs819645//@//gmail//.//com or (901)509-0343 Hope to read from you.. Thomas

He says the reason is that his subscription is expiring. Let me say this. If you are too cheap to pay the online dating fee, then you are too cheap to go out with me. That's a deal breaker.

Nevertheless, his profile says he's from Dunlap, Tennessee's "Hang Gliding Capitol of the East". The adrenalin junkie in me thinks this might be fun if he is a real man. So why does he have a West Tennessee area code?

So I search it and get this.

По номеру мобильного телефона здесь можно узнать оператора и регион

Say what???? I go back and hit the translate this page link.



Phone mobile cellular operators

The mobile phone number you can learn here the operator and region
Russia +7 MTS, Beeline, Megafon, Tele2, Rostelecom and other for Ukraine + 380

It's a safe bet he's not from Moscow, TN.

Let's look at his email for the other standard scam alerts.

Lower case I for the personal pronoun. Check.

No, honey. He wasn't in a hurry. My auto correct wouldn't let me use the lower case I right now.

Over the top language/use of all caps. Check.

I just want anything I get myself into at this time of my life to be the last relationship of my life that would last FOREVER!

And a new clue; poor sentence structure.

I just want anything I get myself into at this time of my life to be the last relationship of my life that would last FOREVER!

I'll bet you do.


Finally, his email address: bs819645//@//gmail

The bs must stand for bullshit.

NEXT!
