A Reinvented Man – Page 3 – A Reinvented Man

Just when you thought the cesspool of online dating couldn't get any worse, in come the foreign scammers. Well, most of them are from other (non-U.S.) countries. So many times, it might be easy to spot a fake profile, but how do you know if you are talking to a scammer on a dating site? In the past week or so I have been dealing with these women (or maybe not even that) to pick out tell- tales signs that you are talking to a scammer on a dating site. I will include my experiences in the below, these are the obvious signs you are talking to a scammer on a dating site. Is She Too Good To be True? Not an actual picture of a scammer! But similar! Last week about four or five knockout beautiful Asian women paired with me on Tinder. I am no ogre by any means, but something is up if all of a sudden, a number of perfect 10s pair with you. These women aren't stupid, they swipe on every man on the site, have as many conversations as they can handle to reel in the next lonely sucker. I have not seen that many beautiful women in all my time in the city I am in, now I not only see them on a dating site, but also, they all like me. Be honest with yourself, is this girl out of your league? Why is she immediatly starting a conversation with you. I have noticed this on the lower end sites, such as Plenty of Fish and Tinder. That being said, they are getting smarter. I ran into some scammers that were pretty, but not gorgeous and one that was even a water buffalo, I will tell that story one time. Bottom line, if she seems too good to be true, she probably is. Are You Talking to a Scammer on a Dating Site? She is Foreign Yes, not all foreign women are scammers, but so far, all scammers have been foreigners for me at least. I (purposely) talked to about 7 of these women in the last couple of weeks. Four were Asian (more specifically Chinese, at least according to them) and were living in my area. The biggest clue is the broken English. Obviously, someone born overseas where English is their second language might not speak perfectly. One woman claimed to be born in Nashville, yet texted like a Hungarian. I know, what the f*ck does that mean? I can't explain it, she just did. Another clue is she knew nothing about our culture. Even if you are born in another country, if you lived in America then you know what the Super bowl is. Just be careful with foreign women online, that beautiful Asian girl might have a hairy arse and two balls to match. Did She Direct You to a WhatsApp or Similar Chat App? This is a tell-tale sign, if you find yourself on an app that isn't a cell phone she is a scammer. What good reason could a real woman have to send you to WhatsApp? Why not just give you their cell phone number and talk? First, a lot of these apps will allow links even cell phones won't. Plus, it is easier to talk to someone that is in a different country using google text or WhatsApp. I am sure whatever telemarketer warehouse they are being forced to work in does not allow cell phones. One sure fire way to know you are talking to a scammer on a dating site is they want to use a third party app. Is She Constantly Bringing Up Bitcoin? Five minutes into a conversation, one woman asked do you like Bitcoin. I said, "I don't really mess with it" Poof, unmatched on Tinder. I guess she didn't love me for me. The real reason these women are talking to you in the first place is so you send them Crypto. All of them are some expert investors that want to share their knowledge. It is crazy how that happens! Most would think that no one would fall for this, a simple google search shows otherwise. This article here discusses how a man lost 15K to scammers. Women are not immune either. One woman lost 500K, these scumbags practice equality at least! They usually take time, sometimes weeks, to build your trust. Are You Talking to a Scammer on a Dating Site? Does She Know Nothing About the Area You are in? This is a dead giveaway. Gently question them about what they like about your area. Hey, what is your favorite bar or which mall do you go to? They almost always change the subject without answering the inquiry. Really, a quick google search of the area would help them figure it out. They may also speak in generalities. I asked, "where do you live", they just say "downtown". Well, idiot, my area only has what we call an uptown. If you truly owned a business here, you would know that. If they say they are going shopping, but can't tell you which mall, it is a huge red flag. Are Her Pictures Obviously Staged? A lot of people take professional photos for their dating site, it is a jungle out there. If there are four pictures and not one of an everyday activity like a dinner with friends or just chilling at home, I tend to worry. These scammers are using other people's pictures and picking the most obvious posed ones. Sometimes I think she (or he?) is using a model or actress from another country. Once I get to talking I usually ask for a couple of more (If and only if I suspect she is a scammer). Have them send one holding two spoons or something else that no one would have. I asked the last one I spoke to to send me just one in the city we are in... crickets. There is your answer, you are talking to a scammer on a dating Site. Will She Not Meet or Video Call? Scammers clearly have no intention of meeting. Many times, they prefer to do all of their business via text or whatever chat box they convince you to use. Obviously, that dainty woman you are conversing with shouldn't look or sound like a 300lb man. They know this and will avoid any kind of video call like the plague. Forget about meeting these people. Obviously they are in a foreign country. It should be a rule that if you cannot get someone to meet with you regardless of if they are a scammer or not, do not bother. Whether she is a scammer we aren't on these sites for pen pals. A failure to meet just strengthens the likelihood she is fake. Is She Reading from a Script? Another way to know you are talking to a scammer on a dating site is when talking to multiple scammers at once (that's how I roll) you notice they say the exact same thing to the same questions. What part of Detroit (or whatever city) do you live..."Downtown". What are you looking for? "a sincere relationship". They actually type the same thing word for word, which is almost scary. It is as if there is a warehouse full of people just trying to pull a scam. Reminds me of my old stockbroker days. Think about that, this is such a big business that they set up offices full of "workers". The script sometimes doesn't match the flow of a normal conversation. This makes things a bit more clear she is fake. She or he already doesn't have a great grasp on the language, now they are trying to force prewritten words. It is completely transparent if you are aware of this kind of thing. Bonus: She Asks You to Send Money or Crypto Never send money on a dating site, not ever. Only a truly disgusting person would trick someone looking for a relationship out of their money. Male or female these people are garbage. If you never met a person and they are asking for money, cut off all contact. You are talking to a Scammer on a Dating Site Conclusion: Are You Talking to a Scammer on a Dating Site It is an unfortunate part of dating in this time. People have always looked for ways to steal others money. Online dating scams are just a sign of the times. Do not bother with anyone that you think is a scammer. I only did because I knew I was writing this post. I wanted to see how they operate. It makes me sad to think people are falling for this. Now if you will excuse me I have to send this Nigerian prince my social security number.
