These scammers will also use pay sites .
I have a total of about 6 scams . If you listen carefully to them, they will always say something about Africa, either they are going there or they are already there, most of the time its on a job.. The one I just met today, is there already.. I dont know for sure if he is a scammer, but I really think he is, time will tell... the reason I think he is , is because he has already mentioned Africa the first time we have chatted..
And also , they say their wife's have been killed in an accident and either took their only son or daughter with them in death..
These people are usually wanting money, or they say they would like for you to cash some money orders for them since they cannot cash them there, thats what they say anyway.. so what ever you do, do not, give them any information out such as your real name or phone number or anything else.. that is what they are usually looking for..
anyway, I will keep everybody posted on the subject as I tend to run across many since I have been looking..
I would like to add,
I will write another artice later and give all the names of my scammers and any information I have.
Thanks for reading, .... stay safe.
Linda

I was scammed like this a while back by someone supposedly wanting me to do a portrait for him and his 'agent' would send me the money. He also tried to romance me, and then ups delivered an envelope with five nine hundred dollar walmart money orders! Naturally he wanted me to deposit them in my bank and send him most of the money to him. And naturally I took them straight to the police dept and contacted the fbi. He threatened and begged for a while, but finally gave up when I wouldn't speak to him. this man was in nigeria and his 'agent' was in Mississippi. Counterfeit money orders! Beware!!
