Who are these romance scammers? A kind of person who will use their charm by using other person's identity pretending that they love you and after you fall for them the scam begins.
My friend and I have a closed encounter with those romance scammer using face book to fool a lonely woman or single ladies.
They are using pictures of a white handsome man or an army man.
Tips to know them easily:
- They made friend request from face book but they wanted your email to be the form of your communication. Why? Because you cannot trace their IP address in emails they are using.
- If you will check his face book profile you can see a very few post, very few friends and mostly not from his country of origin.
- They will ask many things about you. Your status, economic situation, job and all personal things.
- In a short period of time they will declare their love for you and how they wanted to got to your country to see you personally. Promises good things to you and once you got hooked they will start their scam attack.
What are these scam attack?
- They will pretend to send you a box containing valuable gifts and some money for your preparation once they go to your country. Suddenly the courier will send you email that you need to wire money through western union or money gram to get your box due to some unavoidable circumstance. You're the one who will accept a package but you're gonna pay for the freight. Very odd and you are silly if you will fall in that trap. Once you sent money there's no box to be delivered to you.
- They will require you to pay for their plane tickets to go to your country. They will make alibis for you to pay for their tickets.
- They will make touching stories for you to send them money. False stories if you would believe you're on the trap.
They have fooled many women all over the world. Once they got the money they will cut their communication with you by deactivating their face book.account. You cannot trace them in their email.
Some of the faces used by the scammer are posted in the internet. From there I found the pictures used by somebody who wants to scam me and my friend. Fortunately we found out immediately so they didn't get any single centavo from us.
Beware ladies around there some scammers are still at large and just like a predator looking for preys.
