This is the BEST and most concise article I’ve seen regarding Romance Scammers! And I know this from my own experience! Luckily I became suspicious early on so no money (just my time) was wasted on a ‘Brazilian, claiming to live in Irving TX, who turn out to be a Nigerian living in Brooklyn NY; or at least using a NY phone trunk line.
This con artist also work the male side of the online dating work, many Russian and African female on the scam, so give your male friends the heads up too!
Thanks Lisa! Excellent information as always. I’m so glad I found your site and share it with all my friends!

Back when I was on OK Cupid, I was asked to be a moderator on the site because I seem to have a talent for spotting these dudes. They also talk a lot about God in their emails and act really desperate when you are not constantly in contact. May be dealing with one of these now on another site. Dwells in large city,overseas connections, good looking, not really eager to talk on phone. Keeping my spidey senses on high alert. If I do not mention income and profession, how do I get across to the plethora of down and outers that populate our mountain towns here that I am off limits? Likewise, in order to find an older, quality retiree willing to live here in this mountain town, my only choices are to look 100 miles from here or more. Sorry if I sound mean, but I want a relationship with someone my equal, both emotionally and intellectually, not someone looking for a meal ticket.
