Information on romance scams and scammers.

I don't know what it is about me but I seem to attract these people. No proof positive here but I am pretty damned sure. The conversation came to an abrupt end when I challenged her.
Now I will hunt them, the thieving bastards.

[22:15] Arutha: Same
[22:16] hones96905: Ok and i am from Belgium but now in Ghana with my Mum , i have lost my Dad and i am very sad for my dad's death but i do think it is part of life and what about you , are your parents alive too
[22:17] Arutha: No
[22:17] Arutha: Died of old age illnesses.
[22:18] hones96905: Oh sorry for that too and do you have any messenger at yahoo or msn so that we chat there and shae photos and cam there as well babe
[22:19] Arutha: I don't mind chatting here, only looking to chat with overseas people to get penpal
[22:19] hones96905: how babe , i dont understand babe
[22:20] Arutha: I don't have success with long distance relationships.
[22:20] hones96905: Oh really babe and have you chatted with any one from Ghana before babe
[22:21] Arutha: Yep, plenty. They have all been scammers, only after money or gifts.
[22:21] hones96905: Oh that is bad babe
[22:22] hones96905: i am not here for money or gift i am here for true real love babe
[22:23] Arutha: They are all listed on scanwarners. I put a Afghanistan Military scammer there the other day, bitch tried to get $1000 out of me.
[22:23] hones96905: Oh very bad babe ...
[22:24] Arutha: I now go hunting for them to protect other suckers who are more vulnerable than me.
[22:24] hones96905: Oh yes as i told you need to know that in Ghana here there are not only bad people there are bad and good people and you need to know that babe
[22:25] Arutha: Their are certain things that give them away.
[22:25] hones96905: oh yes babe
[22:26] Arutha: I will name & shame as many as I can. They like to prey on older people who are lonely and take their hard earned savings.
[22:26] hones96905: Oh yes i do know that babe , that is very bad of them babe
[22:27] Arutha: Why do they do that? Poor unsuspecting lonely individuals get suckered all the time.
[22:28] hones96905: oh yes that is bad and God will punish them babe
[22:29] Arutha: I keep transcripts of conversations with them and post them on a website so other don't get caught.
[22:29] hones96905: Oh i see babe
[22:29] hones96905: what work do you do babe
[22:30] Arutha: I also compare them so I can get common aspects that they all seem to use in the scam. I am pretty good at seeking them out now.
[22:30] hones96905: oh i see babe , that is okay
[22:31] Arutha: I am a computer Technician
[22:31] hones96905: Oh i see babe
[22:32] Arutha: I think they all go to the same school for scammers, their tags are so similar.
[22:35] Arutha: They all have lost loved ones (to play on the sympathy aspect), they liberally use the words Honey & Babe and they always fake interest in you. Sound familiar.

Conversation stopped right here. I have no proof with this one but if it acts like a rat it probably is one.

Hi Arutha,

As you say, there is nothing in the chat that really proves she is a scammer, although it is odd that 'she' just dropped you when you mentioned about scammers saying honey and babe (which she had been doing).

The only real proof is when they ask for cash and that can take a while, while they build up your trust and feed you their tales of woe.

The reason they want to take you away from the chat on the dating site is so that they have a link to you if/when their dating site account gets closed.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
