Seems like the only "women" I really here from on here are those infamous scammers I read about, I've caught onto thier game...pretending to be from the US and telling me how wonderful I am and how they seek true love...it doesn't take a psychology student to see through that lol

I'm thinking of having a little fun with the next one who zeros in on me...anyone care to share experiences...any good suggestions....the last one I was chatting with on yahoo who was "from washington and living in africa" seemed to get "nervious" when I mentioned not being able to stand people who lie and scam tee hee hee....would it be more fun to play very rich guy or very poor guy?

Alan they are here in abundance. If you are contacted through this site. Just report them to the moderators and they will send them packing. They are VERY EASY to spot and yes they can be amusing to play along with. Ask them questions that where they claim they live? They generally know very little.Some guy who claimed to live in Georgia but was currently doing consulting work over seas did not know anything about Atlanta where he said he lived. He did not know who was running for the president. He knew nothing about sports teams. He could not name a single state capital. When ever I asked him a question he said lets just talk about you and me and our future together. He tried really hard to evade my questions. It was pretty pitiful.

I have to find it or maybe Honbee still has it. She had this big long email she sent to a scammer about her 12 kids and wanting a daddy for them. It was too funny. If I find it or if she still has it we will post it. This way we can make it a copy and paste reply to them. No reason a guy can't use it too....lol

Witchie I found it. I got this scammer letter. His profile said he lived in England, but was contracted at a job in (where else?) (you got it) Africa I was bored one night and decided to write back to him. I picked his letter apart. My responses are highlighted. Gosh darned, I never heard back from him either. Here you go. Hope you enjoy


Hello:
Hello
I am a nice white male
You mean there is such a thing?
that seeks a nice white woman for a friend and lover relationship.
Ok, but are you sure?
If that goes well
You mean the lover realtionship has to be in there to?
a long term relationship is in order.
Well seeing that a lover relationship is a requirement I hope so.
The void in my life is romance and intimacy.
Gee mine too, How long has it been for you? Mine was yesterday.
I have no interested in asexuals.
What do you consider asexual?
I'm easy to get along with on most issues,
ok, but what about the other ones? Does that mean there will be problems?
but I'm not into smokers or house cats!
Jeez, not into asexuals, smokers or housecats, hummm what about housedogs? Do you do those?
My ideal woman would live alone
well I guess that leaves me out I live with 15 housedogs, 10 housecats and have 12 kids
and be ready to date and mate again.
Dating maybe, but with 12 kids already, I don't think mating would be a good thing for me.
Last, if you would like to get to know me,
I think your profile summed it up all too well
please use my Yahoo email address and reference Matchdoctor.
I'm not too sure I want to, since you don't like housecats and want me to give up my 12 kids so I can live alone

Happy Wednesday,


Oops, it's not Wednesday any more. It's Thursday and it isn't too happy
I went to the store with all 12 kids in tow. Little Johnny got his arm stuck in the handle of the shopping cart and they had to call the fire department to get it out. Poor little Mary, tried on a pair of pants and the zipper got stuck, couldn't get it open so they had to get a pair of scissors to cut them off of her. Little Charlie, felt sorry for all the fish in the fish tanks and released them all on the floor. (it was kind of funny watching all the little fish flopping around, the manager didn't think so). Little Bobby had this strange deisre to ride one of the bicycles around the store, popping wheelies in front of the older people. Little Tina, got hungry and helped herself into trying out all the cookies until she found one she liked. Little Debbie, went to the restroom and was washing her hands and broke the faucet, water was shooting out every where. Little Jimmy and Darin, well they had to go to the bathroom too and caused the toilet to over flow (actually it was three toilets) water came pouring out into the store. Little Linda and Trudy, got bored and decided to have an egg throwing contest. Not sure who one. Little Paul, found an empty register and annouced over the loud speaker that they were having a free day at the store and everything was free. Boy, talk about some angry customers. The employees and management weren't too happy either. And last but not least Little Troy. Bless his little heart. He tried to help me out and when he went to get a can of corn, he grabbed one that was at his level and they all fell. Cans of corn went flying all over the place. Well shopping with 12 kids is kind of expensive. It cost me over 5,000.00 that day. We have to look for a new store to shop at tomorrow as well, as the management said that they would be closing for the next couple weeks. I think he just said that though.

Maybe you would be willing to reconsider and go out with me anyway. I'm a white, loving woman and I'm a great cook. I know the kids would really love having you around and would love to call someone daddy again.. What do you do for a living btw? Hope to hear back from you real soon. It would be nice having a man around the house again. You can write me at my yahoo email address listed below. Look forward to talking with you.

Take care,

Honbee

I am a new arrival to this site, comming from Match.com, and I am somewhat amazed at the number of scammers that hit on this site. I was on Match for six months, and had it happen only once! I've been here for a week, and it happens two or three times a day! If you have any command of the English language it only takes the first one or two lines before you know: "I am American born citizen and would like to get to know you more better"!

match.com isn't a free site like this and others. we do try our best to control the hundreds/day who attempt to join. please hit the spam link on any suspicious 'spammer' emails and we can delete those who've slipped by much faster.

Welcome to MD silveroak.

It's true the Mods here try their best. I think they do an awesome job. .
I usually ignore them and the MD Mods find and delete them. I just couldn't resist writting to the one that I did.

Some of the scammers have gotten better at writting. It has become hard to tell if they are actual scammers or not. Always try to look for the red flags and don't give any money, and if your not sure if it is a scammer, ask a buddy to check out the profile. They might see something there that you don't.

It's not easy for the ones who aren't out to scam you. The scammers make finding a relationship hard because after so much, it's hard to trust anyone. Just ignore the ones that your sure that they are and soon the Mods will find them and you will see that great word next to their name CANCELLED.

Keep up the good work, Mods

That is the problem with the net, you can be anyone you want to be... The sad part is, there a lot of people out there that are looking for something real. But know there are actually real people out there that aren't out to scam you. This is an awesome site, the Mods are great, and I have met some wonderful friends on here... It doesn't take long to notice the scammers... And btw Honbee, great response...

Thanks JF. Witchie said it would have been really funny if the guy would have actually responded. I think it would have been as well.

Damn it I hate these scammers. You never know if they're real or not. Myspace is worst when it comes to scammers.

I got an email from him the other day. He cancelled already and I didn't get a chance to reply to him.


You never know if they're real or not.

They are getting harder to pick from the people that are real. Scammer school must have picked up the lastest version of How To Scam And Not Get Caught On The First Try manual, cause they are getting better.

Lately I find them terribly entertaining.. I just got one tonight from a man who claims to have a degree in Veterinary medicine....Veterinarians must graduate with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M. or V.M.D.) degree from a 4-year program at an accredited college of veterinary medicine.
Preveterinary courses should emphasize the sciences. Veterinary medical colleges typically require applicants to have taken classes in organic and inorganic chemistry, physics, biochemistry, general biology, animal biology, animal nutrition, genetics, vertebrate embryology, cellular biology, microbiology, zoology, and systemic physiology. Some programs require calculus; some require only statistics, college algebra and trigonometry, or pre-calculus. Most veterinary medical colleges also require some courses in English or literature, other humanities, and the social sciences. Increasingly, courses in general business management and career development have become a standard part of the curriculum to teach new graduates how to effectively run a practice.

One would gather this indivual would have a level of intelligence. Or at the very least have good communication skills. His profile gave him away. This scammer had a rich assortment of grammatical , errors as well as terminolgy and phrases that made absolutely no sense.

Here is a statment he makes about his Job

About my work
Am vet surgeon man travels around the world for jobs pending on how much i'll gain.

His idea of a date
My idea of a great date
ready to help at point of needy
.

His last vacation
Where did you last vacation and did you like it?
have not gone but planns in going one day.

His Email has been sent to me in many forms. He just changes his name and job , but the rest is exactly the same.. Its great fun to play along and see just how far they go before you scam them back.

Boy this is really sad, I haven't been on in weeks and only had two emails from scammers

I have to agree with most, they are a pain in the butt, but can be very entertaining!
