Tagged is easy to work with and by taking an email off any scammer listing I do a search using
Search>search for friend using email address<. I usually make the data into blocks of 80 and this gives me 80 searches and about 20% catch rate.
Then as I belong to 419eater, I began using email addresses off there, and getting the same results. This is picking out Tagged users who of course are scammers ,using email addresses from their phishing mails. The Scam buster groups on Tagged are also getting phishing mails with email addresses and publishing on site. So then I have found that while these may come from that scammer registration, the email given by them to contact them back maybe also used by them on a completely different false profile. That's a great offer. "Buy one get two *FREE*"!!
SO, now you can go to any site, collect email addresses used by scammers once before, and do site searches. In this case I work Tagged, but I came across here to test the same thing out. And of course it works.
Particularly here, I can take the email address information you give me on a page and take it to a friends search or join invitation or onto other social networking sites depending on which one I choose. The method varies across the sites. The email address a scammer gives you is the most powerful weapon you have. So if you belong to Facebook, MyYearBook, Myspace, Hi5 etc . Just paste it in and search and see what you get out. That "woman" who contacted you might just have a male profile, or live somewhere else, have different picture, or be a different age. Also use Google searches, but if these addresses come as a result of personal messages, Google will not find them BUT YOU CAN. Good luck.
As an example my scammer email list has produced the following scammers with Tagged profiles. The method would work as well on any social networking site. Add the scammers email to your address book or site search and then do a friends invite. I have dedicated gmail account for this and a Tagged ID that I use
