Watch out for this one. This scam is costly! Very costly (This one, I had $27 left in my account. 1 day later, my account overdrafted at least a negative $57!). Avoid these kind of scammers at "all" cost! However, this form of scamming is ran by a user (s). You can find them lurking around Yahoo.com, or Fubar.com. I got an e-mail contact on Fubar from a user (so far, they appear to be female users) inviting me to message with her on Yahoo. Then, she invites me to join a website to chat & view her cam. All I know is the website is called "teenlovelive.com" (not familiar with it) Like any other website, they ask for your account information (card #, security code, etc). Oh great. I knew I shouldn't have done it after what I just experienced afterwards.
So after running the transaction, I got pissed because nothing happened. I didn't even get an e-mail confirmation. When I request her to send me a link to the site again, instead, she sends me another type of link. A link that can screw up your computer. A screen appears with an Adult Friend Finder.com ad & a disturbing video with the message "you are officially gay". When you try to close the window, the screen moves around to prevent you from closing it. If you try to close it from the tab, a caution message appears. You can't close neither one. Once you get to this point, you're screwed. You'll have to reset your computer to eliminate this screen completely. Also keep in mind, links like this could also contain a nasty virus! This is something you don't want! This can screw up more than just your computer. This kind of virus can also retrieve personal information (passwords, screennames, even bank account information!) for the user who plants the virus against you.
I know one person who is doing this. Her contact information is the following. But she's not the only one. If you run into this person, stay away from her. She's trouble. This includes the same for anyone else who is running this kind of operation. You had your warnings. These are waters you don't want to test. Trust me. So far, I see she's only on Fubar & Yahoo, but she could be on other sites too. Be careful if she crosses your path.

*Note: Keep in mind this might not be the person's real information or pics in her profile. This could be made up just to throw you off.
Scammers come in all shapes & sizes as much as they can come in many forms (a website, a username, etc). They use fake profiles to hide their real identity just to nail you for your information, including your bank account. That is their main goal & their only purpose for contacting you. Just to get your money. I called the supporter of this website, which is www.adinhelp.com & reported the scam, including the person who was behind it. I got lucky this time. I'm sure next time, I won't be so lucky.
Just a message to you single, lonely guys like me who are looking on the internet. Be careful. "Curiosity killed the cat". Also go by this one. "If it's too good to be true, most likely it is". Fight the war on scammers. I know I'm one of them. I've had a lot of encounters with them, but this is the only one who got me pretty good. She knew what she was doing. Don't let them get away with what they do! Report them.
