i thought i was makin good conversation and all that and the girls really seemed to respond to what i said
i figured all the mispelled words and syntax flaws were due to the fact that they were born in other countries
but then they say stuff that just doesnt add up, like one girl claims shes tryna be a pro tennis player but doesnt mention tenis anywhere inher profile
and the profile looks fairly drab
so ridicule me, provide solace, or school me on how to separate the real from the fraud...cuz the pictures of the girls were pretty hot and they were near raleigh
they got me goood...

No lecture required...see it as a learning experience and when it happens again, just push the "report spam" button and delete.
Hope they didn't get into your wallet.

Mostly just comfort, solace. been there, been burned that way. Try to chalk it up to a learning experience and move on, even though it really hurts some.

Unfortunately one doesn'tt always see it until some time, and a piece of their heart possibly, has been invested.
As Annie said-report each of them...

 I still don't get this thread... how does he know they are dummy accounts... 
the only thing I can see is that there are...misspelled words and syntax flaws
the profiles are drab... the women write about more going on in their lives that what they put in their profile
and they have stolen pictures
what am I missing here...??
did they want to go off site immediately? and did they ask you for money??

Sorry to hear that Crawg.
Be careful, trust your instincts.
Know that you are not the only one thats been bambuzuled.
Educate yourself. There is a safty warning link at the bottom of all the pages here in md. Give it a read over, familiarize yourself with the different scams and frauds.
I would always be suspicious of any email you get that offers their personal email address in the very first letter.
Don't give out your cell number, personal address, or other personal information to near strangers.

There are a lot of fake profiles on here and if you are new, they can be a bit difficult to spot. My rule of thumb is, if they look too good to be true, then they aren't. For example, if a hot young woman, is looking for a guy that is 15 years older than she is, then odds are, it is a fake profile. If she claims to be American, with a college degree, but has can't write a simple sentence, then she is fake.
Very often, these fakes claim to be American, but in the first or second contact, they will say that they are out the country for now, typically in Africa some place. For example,
Current fake profile
& another from the same gal
Same fake profile
In the first profile, she works in a medical field, makes $75,000 - $100,000 and she weighs 145 pounds. In the second profile, she is a nurse, making less than $25,000 & she weighs 95 pounds.

I still trust. I don't understand the mind set of some. But then again I am not here looking to date. If I were I might be scared.
