 dating site scam If you're into doing online dating be very careful. What these guys do is use the picture of some attractive female and set up a phony singles profile. Also, they make it seem as if their parents died years ago (in a tragic car crash) and have no people they can rely on. The following is the sequence of events that can lead up to your depletion of funds if you're dumb... 1 > You solicit a pretty single woman on dating site. 2 > Single girl responds showing good interest. 3 > Single girl offers you her yahoo chat ID for chatting on the side 4 > Single girl gains your ultimate affection after several chats and gets you to really really like her 5 > Single girl relays info about being on a business trip in Africa 6 > Single girl relays info concerning being robbed of everything and now stuck in Africa...no cash, passport, ID, etc. 7 > Single girl reaches a point of asking you to westernunion lots of money and will repay you later 8 > Desperate single victim dude sits around now out of $3000 (for weeks) waiting and hoping to hear from "single girl" ....its called the "romance scam"...google it.
