Definitely a scam. I signed up on www.sexsearchcom.com, so I will provide an objective report as to what happened.
The results are as follows:
Started getting Instant Messages from GUYS even though my profile listed me as a straight male. They all left me with the following email addresses: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
The "girls" told me they were using a brother or cousin's account. Once added on MSN, they will ask to meet up for an intimate encounter. Upon agreement, they will ask for you to do them a "favour": voting for them on teenlovelive.com and webcams.com as model of the month. After that's completed, you might still get to talk to them on MSN until the scam is exposed, at which time they will block you. Meeting up with them did not happen.
They continually make up false locations. I investigated their claims by speaking with them on different MSN accounts. On one account they told me they were from Waterloo, Ontario and Toronto, Ontario. On another account they told me they were from Mississauga, Ontario and London, Ontario. They will give you false telephone numbers if you end up paying for their scam site. They will also provide false addresses. Their claim is that they model on the sites as models, but when requested to show themselves on webcam or speak on mic or phone, they will all go out of their way to explain why that is not possible.
Think about it guys, a model without a webcam? No mic? Won't even give out their telephone number? You've had better luck getting a telephone number back in highschool than getting a single digit from these scammers.
I have chatlogs, transaction records, complete with dates and times. Feel free to ask me if you feel inclined to.
The name attached to the [email protected]/[email protected] account is Wendy Mendez, who claims to be of Latina Filipina ethnicity. This scammer will send pictures beforehand. I have the pictures if you are interested. This scammer will also request for you to go on webcam for "her". The style of this scammer is such that "she" will give you her location as a Town/City that is typically 40-90 km away from yours such that an immediate meeting is not possible. If you insist on an immediate meeting, "she" will claim that she works in an office checking emails, and that she will ask her manager who's supposedly in charge of arranging her photo shoots, whether she can leave early for the night. This person's style is such that they will keep you unblocked on their list for as long as possible, but if you keep questioning and probing as I did, you wil get blocked immediately.
The name attached to the [email protected] account is Nicole Smith, who claims to be of Asian American Ethnicity. This one will typically not offer to send photos. This one will be fine with "meeting up immediately", and will therefore typically give you an address within a 5 km radius of your location. Upon completion of "her" request, "she" will say "she" is going to take a bath and get groomed to prepare for the meeting. Then "she" will "sign off" when in reality you have been blocked.
Also, www.sexsearchcom.com also appears to be involved in this scam although I am not certain of it. It is however, highly likely they are in cahoots with these scammers. The reason is because these scammers contact other male profiles through Instant Messaging and their internal Mail system using VALID www.sexsearchcom.com profiles. Profiles such as mine. You will know when your account has been used to engage in such activity when you check your "Online Members" section is displaying profiles that contradict your settings.
I.E. Your "Online Members" section is displaying Male profiles if your settings previously filtered for Female profiles. This is because in order to pull off the scam, they are contact Straight profiles with Straight profiles of the same gender. This makes sense because if they did it otherwise, for example using a Straight female profile to contact a Straight male profile, then there is a chance that the Straight female will actually respond positively to the Straight male, hence foiling their scam. However, if they did it the way in which they have planned, what happens is that the Straight male, when contacted by another Straight male, will not bother replying to the profile, but rather to the email address provided to them during contact. This minimizes the chances of their scam from failing.
Upon realizing this, I promptly cancelled my Gold membership on the site, and put up a notice on my profile to warn other males. I did that at around 2 am this morning. A few hours later, when I returned to check, my account had been deleted completely. One can infer that there is a connection between the operators/moderators of the website and the scammers based on this observation. The Gold membership was supposed to last until April 10, because I had already paid for that period.
I have records, and can be reached at
Feel free to ask for them.
