Online Dating 2day - How To Spot Dating Scam Artist

If you spend enough time on dating sites, you'll eventually begin to know the classic signs of a dating scam artist. There are points that are similar to other online scammers like those who send you private emails but the effect is still the same: shock, heartbreak, feeling like a complete fool and general distress.

Here are a few pointers to help you to spot them:

1. They often live overseas. Common countries include Nigeria, Ghana and Africa. They may state in their profile that their country of origin is say the USA but have recently moved to Africa or similar to work.
2. Their spelling and grammar is extremely poor.
3. They often declare undying love for you before you’ve even spoken. Promises of marriage and spending the rest of your life with them are frequently suggested too.
4. They often have fake photographs displayed on their profiles or will send you them privately. Often these pictures are stolen from unsuspecting honest profiles on other dating sites.
5. Will ask you for money to see them or to help them out in an emergency.
6. They will give you very few details about themselves and/or their lives.
