This poor scammer will probably not get many victims – at least I hope no one believes his profile and message. He found my fake profile on 4ppl.
His profile:
here is his message to me:
I think the red flags are painfully obvious here, but just in case
:
> Is he from Arkansas or Texas?
> He has a minimal grasp of English language, grammar, and punctuation.
> There’s that “God fearing” thing again.
> He says he’s “From United State of America” – an American would not say it that way.
> He gives his private email address in the message, which is not a definite sign, but indicates that he fears he will be removed from the site fairly quickly.
I’m posting him here for two reasons. The first is educational; the red flags are so clear. The second is to get his name and email address on the web to be found by search engines.
His picture doesn’t look like it’s from a modeling site – he probably “borrowed” it from someone’s MySpace or other social networking site.
