Just a thought

I'm beginning to find all kinds of things on the many dating sites where these scammers seem to pop up..
that they all seem to have in common..

1) they all seem to be Gemini..
2) always some Masters degree or bachelors degree
3) always working as a contractor

and it's not always that they nab wonderful model photos either, it seems they like to con people with regular photos now..

I don't have any specific details right now..
but I'm working on one .. or a few..
see if I can fish as many details as I can before posting them up here..

Thanks for posting your observations FFS,

I think that the words "All" and "Always" are a generalisation.

Romance Scammer's Profiles can, and do vary enormously, and it's not until they start writing to you do you start seeing the clues, some of which are :-

*They may claim to be working abroad, often in Nigeria

*These scammers are willing to spend months talking and writing every
day to their victims before asking for money. The relationships they
have with their victims often start fast and are very intense.

*The scammer may try to make the victim feel like they are joining a
new family, and may introduce other scammers as their mother, father,
sister, etc. This is to make the victim feel a responsibility toward
their "new family".

*The bottom line is that they want you to care for them so that you
will send them your money.

When they finally ask for money, it is usually for one of these reasons:

*They need to pay for a visa, plane tickets, marriage license etc to
come be with you.

*A close relative suddenly becomes very ill and needs money for medicine
and doctors.

*They are rich, but they can't get their money right now and need your
help

*They are somehow stuck without funds in a foreign country (usually
somewhere in Africa or Europe) and need you to wire funds so they can
get home.

*They need you to cash a check or checks and send them cash via Western
Union. The check or money order they will send you is fake, even if your
bank cashes the check or tells you that it "cleared"!!!! The bank will
find out in a few days or weeks that the check is fake, and will make
you pay all of the money back, even the money you sent to the scammer.
The bank might even have you arrested for cashing a bad check.

*They need you to receive packages that cannot be sent directly to them,
and send them on. The packages will contain goods paid for with stolen
credit card numbers, and the person the police will come after for theft
is you!
