Nigerian Dating Scams
*also under dating scams*
BEWARE OF DATING SITE SCAMS. There are a lot of false profiles out on the dating sites. The false ones are typically free member parasites and not usually paying members. Many of the false profiles are harmless member stealer’s. They are on there to flirt with you and try and get you to come to some other dating site. But some are trying to steal your heart to get to your money.ONLINE DATING SCAM TACTICS:
Step 1) Take the Bait
You meet someone on a dating site (Adult Friend Finder, Match, okcupid, etc). This person has posted a picture of themselves and they are gorgeous!
Their profiles says something like:I am a caring ,loving, honest, respectful and i believe in god and real people to hop to meet meet my real love here
There profile seems perfect. They sounds sweet, loving and caring. Their picture (if they have one) looks incredible. They seem to live pretty close.
What’s really going on? More than likely it is some ugly dude from a third world country who just learned to use a computer. They found a hot picture and posted it on the dating site. They are the exact opposite of what ever they said on their profile: they are uncaring, dishonest and don’t respect anyone… not even themselves.
Step 2) The Out of Country Story
You send them a message. They reply and tell you that they’d rather talk to you on email (usually hotmail or yahoo). They then proceed to tell you that they are currently in another country (Nigeria, Ghana, Mali, England), but they have some sort of connection to the states in your local area. They’ll say they’re relatives are there or they do business their and they’d love to meet you sometime.
What’s really going on? They really are outside of whatever country you are (usually Nigeria, Ghana, West Africa – this is one of the top scams in that region).
Step 3) Relationship Deception
What they do next is get a steady relationship with you. They will send more pictures. They will want to know more about you so they can cater to your ego. They will tell you they love you, tell you how good you look, how great you are. Basically, anything get the relationship going.
What’s really going on? They are lying to you and 20 other people on 5 or 6 different dating sites.
Step 4) A Crisis: they Need Money
There are various lies they may use to get money. They will ask for cash to buy the ticket to come visit you or they will tell you a tragedy has occurred and they need your help maybe even with a promise to pay you back.
What’s really going on? They are attempting to take your money and spend it on bullshit.
Clues to Spot Dating Scams:
– Pictures look too professional. Magazine quality photos should be a dead give away. If they send a series of pics and each one looks like a “model posed” photo shoot, be suspicious.
– BAD GRAMMAR & SPELLING. They are typically not very well educated and it will sometimes come through loud the clear via very choppy English and slight stupid logic. Sometimes it is as bad as a 3rd grader (a dumb 3rd grader).
– Western Africa. Be suspicious of ANYTHING from from Ghana, Mali and especially Nigeria.
– Too much love, too fast. They will almost immediately start talking about “I love you”, “I miss you” – don’t be flattered… they don’t love you… trust me.Disclaimer: Miracles do happen. Maybe you’ve just met a West African supermodel, with bad grammar, who has fallen madly in love with you in the course of two or three emails.
Conclusion:
I’ve dealt with these scammers on ebay, email, dating sites and in chat rooms and one thing I’ve noticed is that they are actually not very smart. They are just ruthless. They take advantage of people’s trust, kindness and generosity. They are not so much predators as they are parasites that jump from host to host. They feed on the infrastructure and wealth of Western Civilization and have nothing at all to contribute to humanity but ignorance and greed. The sad thing is that these few greedy, idiots are giving ALL West Africans a bad name on the Web and these nations (particularly Ghana & Nigeria) are among the richest nations in Africa with the greatest potential of having great success in any and all endeavors. Its a real shame.Richest African Countries 2006: GDP Per Country
1. South Africa … $606.4 billion in international$ (up 8% from 2005)
2. Algeria … $262.2 billion (up 8.5%)

Mr Prest Charles *SCAM*
WHOA! Google Mr. Prest Charles and you hit the MOTHERLODE of SCAM-tastic information!
Hello,
Re: collection of fund ($9.6m) under special
arrangement.contact me here (prestcharles20@googlemail.com)The purpose of this letter is to briefly introduce myself and I would like
to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to
you.My name is Mr Prest Charles,I work in executive capacity with CARGO
HANDLING & SECURITY TRUST COMPANY in London(UK) I joined the services of
this company in 1985. Idecided to contact you believing that you will become
my overseas Business assocaites in acquiring an investment placed under our
management more than seven (7) years ago.I have worked with this company for over 20 years, within this period of
time I watched with meticulous precision on how Head of State and government
functionaries have been moving huge sums of money with the aid of their
foreign partners abroad. They bring in these consignment and declare the
content as jewelries, Gold, Precious Stones, Family Treasure,
Documents,etc.These people have at one time or the other deposited consignments with us
and their foreign partners, relatives and Next of Kin are Claiming most of
these consignment and a lot more are laying here unclaimed for as much as 7
years, as no available
information to anybody except the depositors, and most of them are dead.
Since the inception of the year 2005,the
Management changed the procedure of claiming of consignments.As soon as you
are able to produce all the information as contained in the secret file of
the company as regard the consignment, it will be released
to you upon demand.From our records, more than 10 consignments belonging to these people has
been claimed in the past six months and this is why I am seeking for your
co-operation and assistance to help execute this pending deal which has been
unclaimed for so long
as I know no one will ever come forward to claim it because the deceased
left no next of kin.The amount in question is very small compared to what my
office has sent overseas for this people.I will provide all the documents needed for this purpose as I was the
account officer who handled most this transaction on behalf of this
client.For the release of the consignment, the company will invite you for
the collection, or you may insist that the consignment be delivered to you
instead. I hope to hear from you to enable me provide you with the complete
picture of this deal.Funish me with the following:
Full Names/Mailing address/Telephone and fax numbers.
contact me here (prestcharles20@googlemail.com)
Expecting your urgent Response.Mr Prest Charles
