If you are going to go for a guy who is 5,000 miles away, unemployed, and wants you to send him money, you might as well walk outside and go chat up a homeless guy. At least he's local and you know he's real.

I know exactly what I look like, (I have mirrors in my house..lol) I'm a 65 yr old widow...i know a 20 or 30 something yr old young man is not going to be attracted to me. That's why I'm always amazed at people who fall for this. I am not going to part with money or my home,.. ect..that my husband & I worked for all our adult lives. If I have anything left when I die it'll go to our sons. The ones that DO love me.

What's mine is mine & what's his is his,the way I see it. What I have when I die will go straight to my son.

[@angelasenisi9168]

For a while I was getting very crude and explicit messages. One young man sent a nude photo with a photoshopped p.....that reached his chin! Not joking. I was flabbergasted.... The creep actually had an account with family photos etc...Stupidly I deleted it instead of reporting it/him. Those kinds of messages are now removed before viewing as BEYING INAPPROPRIATE OR OFFENSIVE OR GRAPHIC. Don’t accept friendship requests just to have many FRIENDS and don’t be too gullible is a good rule....

How on earth would you give money to someone you never met is beyond me

[@margaretanderson409]

I asked him several times for a selfie and he always claimed he wasn't allowed to. each time he would contact me there was something he needed from me MONEY! after about a week of stringing him along I just blocked him. I never fell into the emotional trap he set and never sent this creep a single dime. I never could understand how some women could be so desperate for companionship they would give money, cars in the hopes that these so called soldiers would marry them or give them attention. the scam is like having a stranger come up to you on the street give you all kinds of compliments say they are in love with you within minutes of meeting you then ask you for 500.00 assuming you will just hand it over because you are desperate for companionship. stay alert to these snakes and don't assume everyone you meet online is a knight in shining armor, they are wolves in sheep's clothing.

[@shirleyharrison2580]

Jim Jones. You're so right. Thanks about what I say when I read or see videos of these older women. (& men also) When we get older, like myself, the looks we had in our 20s / early 30s ate just not how we look in our 60s & 70s. Look at yourself in the mirror & ask yourself if that 26 yr old,buff, tanned, 6 ft. 'army' guy is really head over heels in love with you ? I get these friend request from mostly military guys all the time, I know exactly what I look like & know I'm almost 66 years old..my profile still says 'married' , so I delete them immediately.

[@carolhutchinson7763]

When the money runs out one of several things happens: 1.The scammers send the victim an e-mail "from a friend" saying the boyfriend is dead. 2. They invite the victim into a money laundering or reshipping scheme where the victim receives merchandise bought with stolen credit card numbers and sends it somewhere else, often to a foreign country. The victim is eventually arrested, sent to jail or prison, and comes out homeless and jobless. 3.The scammer simply disappears. You can see these stories time and time again on talk shows and news documentaries. Also online.

Keep your friends list private and don't accept friend requests from people you don't know in real life. If you accept strangers, NEVER send money or nude pics.

[@lisac6666]

The statement that Facebook wants yot to report them made me laugh. I reported these scammers multiple times, and the only reply I got from Facebook was that they "did not violate our community standards." Facebook is a joke, and a huge platform for scam on international scale.

[@rashikagovindasamy8258]

Exactly. Facebook does nothing to these people. I've received friend requests from the South African president and the minister of finance. People are so gullible. They were getting so excited to be getting friend request from their president. Later I saw other women complaining about the 'president' wanting nude pics. As for the 'minister of finance', he had some investment scheme he wanted to involve me in.

[@ebonyeyed08ti]

Best comment ever, people are so desperate to have someone these days instead of going after their goals and gettng financial stable or their mental health in check. Bee single for 8 years now , i talk with some guys as friends , thats it , no going out and mingling , people today are scary and bold face liars. Stay single until you find your soulmate

[@papillonstudio6169]

I've been spotting them for years. Some of them are ridiculously careless. One recently had, unusual for a scammer, a long list of their actual friends. Funny that a guy who is supposed to be American, American name, location, job, yet every one of his friends was from Africa, with ethnic names, and appearance. Idiot. They're really easy to spot on dating sites. Always widowed, non smokers, Christian, somewhere long distance but within the states. The profile statements are flowery, full of promises of love and fidelity, but either a copy and paste job with errors like exact repetition, or poor spelling and grammar. An American engineer is probably not going to misspell engineer, like "engeer", a counselor, "counsler". Red flags are easy to spot if you just take off the blinders.

[@Gurra88]

I saw an attractive woman working for "United State Amry" 🙄🙄🙄🙄 the name on her uniform didn't even match the user name. Scammers don't have a three digit IQ so to speak

[@kenmoreSF]

I've learned that they always call you Baby, Babe, Honey, Sweetheart because they are most likely scamming more than one victim and by calling you Baby, it avoids calling someone by the wrong name. If you can't video chat, say, bye bye. Also, there's a victim who did actually video chat with the man in the picture and he ended up working as a third party for a scammer and she too got duped and out of a lot of money. So if you can't date a person in person , get a cat or a dog, at least a dog will love you unconditionally.

[@shirleyharrison2580]

I'm an elderly woman & I love messing with the many telemarketer calls i get. So I'd probably ACT like I was sending them money, & saying " you didn't get it yet ?" I'll try again tomorrow..." What ?! You STILL didn't get it ?" ....ect...ect... Until I het tired of the game... But I don't fall for those friend request from men telling me Joe beautiful & stunning I look... I have MIRRORS in my house & I know what I look like & I know how old I am...I'd just make a fool out of them...it'd be fun.

If they say they're military, ask them if they went through their basic training at Ft. Gordon New Jersey or Ft. Dix in Georgia. Ft. Dix is in New Jersey and Ft. Gordon is in Georgia. But a Nigerian scammer isn't going to know that. That's how you KNOW They're scamming you. Or when they say they're from Dallas, ask them " Isn't that 90 mes from Seattle?"

I just watched another video about romance scammers with comments disabled, so I'll comment here instead. What I really wonder is how people don't seem to have an ear for accents and grammar. There was a Texan with a Dutch-sounding name and his voice messages were from a whole other continent. Open your EARS people. The syntax is totally different.

[@painterdawn2]

Not only that but some scammers will make a short personalized video using someone else's video but they change the words. So the mouth movements don't even match the audio. I saw an interview with the man who received the video and it was proved to him that the video was fake and the person was someone else. This guy is still waiting for this woman to visit him. It's puzzling how the facts don't matter to some people.

What needs to be done is there needs to be major regulation in online dating. You should not be allowed to post a profile unless it's a verifiable profile. At this point I think places like the division of motor vehicles or dating agencies in physical building help you build a profile for a fee and then build your presence. Profiles from other other countries will have to follow the same rules and regulations. The dating websites need to follow these regulations and not allow un verified profiles on their site. Scammers have completely turned online dating into a cesspool. The other thing is we need is to encourage dating and marriage at a younger age. We need to realize that feminism and extreme liberalism have destroyed dating between the sexes. MGTOW is not the direct cause of lower marriage rates and birth rates, but the acknowledgment of how society has become so misandric against men. This is in turn is causing men not wanting to date or get married. Women have a lower SMV value when they get older so the best thing they can do is to get married younger and hold onto that man for dear life. The real enemy of women is not the patriarchy but feminism. It's the most naturally thing for men to love women. Of course if women are going only for the top 10 percent of men don't expect loyalty from that top 10 percent or rather 2 percent of men. We all both men and women need to work out more, eat healthy and get in better shape. Big is not beautiful it's simply just big. If you go to a gym and your big and workout no one will judge you harshly or they really shouldn't. Making an effort, walking into the gym trying to get in better shape is very commendable or simply taking a walk, riding a bike, go swimming, running, dancing or whatever that makes you happy and you burn the calories in the process. These scammers are going to be with us for quite a while until there is better legislation or we watch out for their tactics better. The scammers will get better but we need to starve them of the oppurtunity to scam us. Our US government and allies need to work to track down and stop the scammers but they also need to work with the governments to stop the reasons these scammers are doing these criminal actions. Lastly we need to pray more.

It's a lie facebook works to take down these profiles. My uncle passed away in 2016. His facebook remained online and somehow someone hacked into it (which I know happens a lot) someone claiming to be Bebe Winans totally revamped my uncle's FB profile. Photos were deleted and most information was changed (interestingly not his birthplace and Bebe winans wasn't from our town) friends were added. When family tried to communicate with this scammer they were blocked. Several of us reported this to facebook and nothing was done. We got the standard reply, "thank you for reporting this to us. We understand why you might thing this was offensive.... but it doesn't go against facebook rules" We had to contact Bebe's people ourselves before the profile was taken down. Facebook needs to change they are so troll friendly.
