I decided to try online dating for a 1 month investment. My bank placed a hold on my card for "suspicious" activity. Boy, was I ever thankful. The fraud investigation told me that the charge was involved with a "third party". The emails and I.M. Chats were charming, flattering, ego boosting BUT the improper grammer, gender references, children's names/gender and ongoing ramblings of tragic losses, you are the "only and first" sent RED FLAGS immediately. Also, the men are ALL widows, have multiple profiles and their responses are eloquently "SCRIPTED" (PROBABLY FROM FOREIGN SCAMMERS). Before you respond to any of this BULLCRAP do the following: type in usernames and research similar to check for multiple profiles, do a name search with age and location, DO NOT give out requests for phone or cell numbers, Do Not oblige these scammers by placing them on Yahoo Messenger (this seems to be their only chat vehicle). You will know these scammers are probably not even people,
since you never get answers to your specific questions. I am so GRATEFUL that my bank's fraud dept. Alerted me immediately and that I am a very suspicious, detail oriented and cautious person.
