There are typical scams that can be identified as fakes. Here GenerationLove explains some common types of scams. Knowledge is the best way to protect yourself from fake and scam.
The scammer tries to deceive naive people by asking the other party to contribute to their rent, medical costs or the costs that may incur when planning to visit the man or woman. The scammer will list in detail how the man or the lady can transfer the required cash.
The increasing creativity of criminals knows no bounds when it comes to maximizing their profits. An example of this is the so-called "Tinder-Trading-Scam," also known as the "Pig-Butchering-Scam." This scam combines two methods: the "Love Scam" and investment fraud, particularly involving cryptocurrencies. This does not reflect negatively on Tinder but is named after the popular dating app.
These scam can happen with someone from abroad. The scammer travels from one country to another, to spend three months with one man or woman then one or two months with another man or woman. The vicitm is led to believe that the scammer is genuine as is its desire for a true relationship but all she or he is really looking for is a new country, a new experience, lots of shopping, lots of fun and someone to foot the bill. The scammer will make the victim believe that he/she needs this time to work out if he or she is "the one". However at the end of her or his trip she will simply disappear or say she is not ready for a commitment.
An Immigration scam is when a lady or a man uses another person abroad to obtain a visa. The marriage is just for the visa. The scammer promises love and jumps at the first opportunity to divorce, leaving the vicitim heartbroken.
The so-called Nigeria Scams always follows a similar pattern and happens across the world: you receive an E-mail from someone (from Africa/Nigeria/Abidjan etc.) who purportedly claims to have millions of dollars from a dead relative and needs your help (and bank account) to get the money out of the country. The money you are asked to invest to make the transfer possible seems insignificant compared with the commission promised. Everything sounds too good to be true because it is! This deception is known as the Nigeria Scam and have become commonplace.
You think you communicate with an attractive person. But no matter how good it sound, things aren't what they appear to be. The profile photo is stolen and not the person you communicate with. Romance Scammer hunting for victims in chat rooms like Skype, social networks like Facebook or dating sites. Often women are victims of Romance Scam. Scammer make victims belief that they are well settled and currently abroad for business. As soon as a love story and emotional relation has developed, your new romance is telling that the credit card as been stolen or is lost. You are asked for help and send money with the promise, that the money will be send back soon. But also men can become victims of Romance Scam. Therefore never send money to anyone you met in internet!
The instigator of the scam might even not be a real person. The photos used in the profiles are often stolen from the internet without permission. In other cases the photos may be real and the lady or man herself is actually involved. The surname and the physical address are usually fake and the voice behind the phone number is usually an accomplice.
There are many different scams but there are often similarities that are easy to detect if you are perceptive and aware of the common patterns they follow. The following helps to detect money scams.
Most often you will not initiate the contact with the scammer; you receive a letter from a lovely lady or handsome man who is interested in you. The description of the partner the scammer is looking for is very general and non-specific so that, in reality it could be apply to anyone, for instance there are no particular specifications like age, height, etc.
Big age differnece and the other person has a model look. The data seems too perfect, a woman or man isn't concerned when the other person is more than 30 years older. The relationship develops very quickly and she or he will start to declare her love for you within 1-5 letters. You receive sweet and exuberantly loving letters from a very early stage and the sender writes a lot about its trusting, honest and sincere nature.
She or he will lure you into loving conversations and starts asksing for help and money or gifts within a few letters. Whether you send money, or refuse to do it – your new friend will disappear from the scene after taking your money or after you refuse to send it.
As soon as you send money, most scammers disappear; although some stay in contact, hoping to get more.
Ask specific questions. Be wary if someone does not answer your particular questions in detail. Be particularly aware:
When you offer a meeting, the person will say that she or he is very happy about your offer but prefers to visit you first. She or he will then go on to tell you in detail about the money required for travelling and specifically how to transfer the cash.
