Playing with love via online dating sites makes beloved poor.
Wallets are empty as well as bank accounts, heart break is a
normal thing if you search your
beloved online, be careful with scammers on dating websites: 60-years old man
from USA can be a college
boy from Africa.
Let's eliminate
romance scams - what is that? Victims become more vulnerable with the long-term
relationship, with strong belief and serious intentions to merry and so and so
on. Moreover private emotions give a great platform for fraudsters.
Internet Crime
Complaint Center posted the statistics
for the last year: more than $86.7 million and 5,900 romance scams victims!
Actually we do not know the exact amount extradited from poor beloved as victims refuse to confess how much exactly they spent for their love affairs. So official data is just approximate, real amount is higher as you may guess.
People of the age 40
and older and how fraud experts say nowadays men and women of all ages as well
can be easily manipulated on the matter of divorce, losing their job, etc. One
of the most popular circumstances is serious illness, Doug Shadel mentioned, a
fraud researcher and director of AARP Washington.
Lonely singles are to
be suffered because of their trustful attitude. One widowed lady discovered how
do fraudsters usually behave with their future victims, what actually methods
do they use. She registered on one dating website and started to receive
letters from one man permanently, regular messages with compliments, pleasant
style and humoristic way of telling – just for an easy reading. Besides he made
her strongly sure that she was his only one and kept declaring it. When he
informed about his planned trip to Africa –
that was a signal for her to pay attention to. He began his story with request
about laptop help as his one was broken, afterwards he was telling about his
needs for materials out of customs. Finally, car accident made him go back home
and ask for more money for treatment and etc.
Old lady was
suspicious and demanded to hold a webcam conversation at least. Surprised
almost to death that her beloved was a young man from Africa,
lady did not give up and reported to the police in spite of all his love
confessions.

Here are some advices how to be in secure.
In order to protect
yourself just cut off with any member that seems to be suspicious for you. And
if you have already fallen in love with him or her, which is obviously, – to
break free would be more difficult as nobody wants his heart to be broken and
all hopes and tales to finish.
Be suspicious with perfect photos first
of all. However you can always ask your pen-friend to send his or her private
one. Well-known video chats
usually help you to see the real face as you may get in touch with your beloved
and see expressions and emotions.
Then if you use
services of dating websites you need to check their commercial legality to be
officially registered.
To be in safe means to be skeptical. DO NOT believe in love at first sight to his or her profile where you can find over 80% information. Usually perfect criminals know what to post and how to catch your attention.

All requests for a
money urgent help should make you check your situation just to avoid getting in
trouble. Never send any money until you both meet personally! Just ask for a
meeting, this is a way for your scammer to check – he or she will skip.
Even if a person tried his best in long-term communication with
you there is a risk for a scam to appear. Find dating agency with very strict policy to check for such scammers-lovers.
Do pay attention when
your beloved goes somewhere far away for a work trip or service, avoid
exchanging any personal information as we mentioned before. Scammer will ask
for it anyway, now or later. But websites with good reputation have special
agreement that prohibits sharing such data with each other.
And never post all
information about yourself as it can be used on other profits. You receive
signals first of all and it's your choice to wait to another one and suffer or
just to be lucky and cut the chain.
