The text in blue above would seem to indicate a Senegal Scammer. Variations of the Caps part is a peculiarity of these. It is also used by a scammer with male and female profiles who alters the text to suit the role played and got it wrong. Victims see these signs and yet never follow instincts Since scammers use the same text all the time it helps to track them. Everything a scammer says and does is a lie and a multi layered crime of credit card fraud, stolen money, and fake cheques. Even something simple like getting flowers is defrauding someone else of $50. The scammer didn't go and spend his own money on them, and didn't give a damn as long as it introduced feelgood factor and made the mark trust him.

about my work:
I am looking for a partner in life. I want a best friend and a lover to share quiet moments .. am a very enthusiastic, outgoing, independent person.I am a very shy and find it difficult to communicate with the opposite sex but once you get to know me you will see that I am unique in many ways.. In short, I am a person who strives to place other's needs before my own and people/relationships are very important to me. I believe that true loves means caring about the needs of others and wanting what's best for them. I am comical yet serious and believe in learning from life's trials instead of letting them get the best of you.I believe that my ideal match would be a selfless, caring, serving, loving, and compassionate man. He would embrace his God given role as head of household and strive daily to establish a home that glorifies God. I want him to feel that his relationship with me is truly a blessing from God and thus he would treat it as such taking time to nurture it as time passes. I would also hope that he would feel very comfortable sharing all of his struggles and successes with me. I am a very affectionate person and I believe the verbal intimacy is very important and this I would hope he feels the same. I am not a perfect person nor do I expect him to be the but I would expect us to be able to love one another past our weaknesses and be able to humble ourselves and apologize when we have hurt or wronged one another..
my idea of a great date:
I am a very laid back person with a good attitude and my own style. I'm very fond of the Golden Rule (treat others the way you want to be treated), but at the same time deep and complicated with my thoughts, easy going with people that are not picky, open mind, very honest . sometimes more than it should be . I'm passionate about almost any kind of music, for me it's like a kind of expression.it just release your soul. Open to changes, you never know what
life has for you, and what new lessons are you going to learn, what kind of people are you going to meet and in which way are they going to touch your heart.I am looking for a partner in life. I want a best friend and a lover to share quiet moments,am a very enthusiastic, outgoing, independent person who enjoys similar things, but who can also introduce me to new things.
I am unique in many ways. In short, I am a person who strives to place other's needs before my own and people/relationships are very important to
me. I believe that true loves means caring about the needs of others and wanting what's best for them.I'm looking for someone who is honest, fun loving, determined, and romantic. Someone who will make me feel like I'm the only one for them. Good communicator, good listener, and someone willing to give
100% to a 50/50 relationship. I want someone who respects me,I believe that my ideal match would be a selfless, caring, serving, loving, and compassionate man.

Wow. Thanks for the examples of clueless postings. Incredible to think that anyone would ever respond to them. I appreciate your responses.

We do deal with some victims who have serious psychological problems (and I don't mean that as being our opinion) and also health problems. Also we can deal with people from parts of the world who are very innocent and trusting, and the elderly from any part of the world can fall into all those categories, as well as those who are just in a desperate financial position and are looking to grab at any straw.

We try to help rather than make a judgement. The aim is to make the scammer happy and try to avoid the victim losing (more) money.

If a scammer makes 100 email addresses, he could go and make say 100 profiles in various sites with each one. He can repeat that with all the other email address he has, edit text a bit, change sex, add stolen photo. That is 10,000 profiles. He doesn't have to do anything more except wait like a bait in a trap. If he has a statistical result of say 1% he has 100 marks. If he works on them he might get a pay out. It is the victim who gets into that situation for any reason such as above, or because they are lonely. Some are not so educated, don't read English well and fail to see the mistakes, and the scammer relies on that. How many non English people/users would know a Nigerian accent in a chat, or recognize common Afro English phrases? The results are entirely statisical and the sums of money scammed astronomical. We try to get between the scammer and the mark. The mark is likely to become a victim, so this is what we do. Hopefully we have a similar statistical result, but we can't hope to match the output, and we are often dealing with an end result and not preventing it- even though we try our hardest. We are a small army and admittedly overwhelmed but we do our best.
I have seen chains of scammers based on one email address, giving over 2000 fakes. I posted a text extract above and if you put that into a search see how far it goes. Then take the text that isn't used before and search that and you will be going round in bigger circles all based on one scammer. Sometimes they add an email address that is new so you go back to the start and repeat the searches and text used. That's how it goes.

I wish there was something I could do to help this situation with scammers. Can you think of anything I can do to help others? I could spend maybe an hour a day volunteering online.

I've read everything I can find regarding scammers and scamming.

About Me:
I am a very affectionate person and I believe the verbal intimacy is very important and thus I would hope he feels the same. I am not a perfect person nor do I expect him to be the but I would expect us to be able to love one another past our weaknesses and be able to humble ourselves and apologize when we have hurt or wronged one another. Our relationship should not be a competition but a spiritual union where I am his Godly helper and where I feel it is my duty to shower him with unconditional love respect, compassion, speak the truth in love. In return, I would pray that he would do the same for me and that he would pray everyday that God would guide his heart and intentions so he could be the best husband for me and so that I can be the best wife for him. In the end I want us to provide with a peace home for one another where we can feel loved, cherished, respected, and not taken for granted. I love making my man laugh and smile so I expect the same in return.

The above text has clearly been 'cut and pasted' together.

In the first of these new posts, the scammer forgets which sex he is pretending to be...
Not only that, but how could one expect to find a date (much less a partner for life) by requesting someone who 'serves'.

Yes I posted about the huge list before. It seems almost impossible to add pictures since it uses so many. Getting email addresses, and profile text where it alters is the only way round, in the hope a potential victim does their searches properly. It will then bring the p. victim here.
