So these scammers have infiltrated jdate recently. They come in a few different flavors.
1. Nigerian scammer: This person talks all nice and sweet and then says, look at me, I’m stuck in a hotel in Nigeria, send the hotel owner money… This is how you handle the Nigerian scammer.
ShtetlFabulousB: hi Ringo. what’s happening?

presently missing home right now,am in a hotel down here in africa…….its really a long story here but i hope it never happens to me again cos i
dont wanna have heartbreaks anymore and i dont wanna be hurt,i really need a man that knows the value of a good woman and has the desire to be love
for the rest of his life.Someone to share my successes, my joys and my sorrows.A man that will go through the path of life hand in hand with me. Not
in front of me because I may not follow,not behind me, because I’m not his leader, but next to me, so we can learn from each other, and love one
another for eternity.

Ringo2B80: i’m on a research trip to africa with a friend who intended to introduce me to some bussiness.we planned to make findings about the
level of availability and exportation of cash crops especially cocoa product in africa.i never knew that my friend had different intentions.at the end
of our finding. she left the hotel with all i had, including my money and some valueable items.she only left a note for me that she had left for
london.i reported the case to the hotel manager who was indifferent about the issue….i have nothing on me now the hotel manager have seized my
passportand my return ticket and i have a round trip ticket which is gonna expire soon.There is nobody i can turn to right now.my friend was the only
person i had and trusted and the only sister i have in florida is a nuisance,she is a addicted to drugs.i dont know where i can found her.i will
appreciate you helping out of this hell that i have found myself.i will make it up to you as soon as i get back
ShtetlFabulousB: wow- of course. what can I do to help you? anything.
Ringo2B80: ever since then and i can’t seem to find a way to leave here,about some weeks after the incident the hotel management asked me to pay my
bills which i was owing for staying there and i could not afford the bills,{there’s no one i can contact at home,cos there’s no one for me,Dad and mum
died when i was still 15 so i and my lil sister grew up with our grand parents whom i lost two years ago cos my parents where divorced a long time ago
and thats why i have been trying to grow better with this little sales ,i never got to know my family members,now am all alone and i need help,where
would i get it from ?Would u be able to heal he wound on my heart,and save me from this predicament}.My ticket has been seized by the hotel manager
and if i don’t pay my bills there’s no way i can leave here or yet meet you to fulfill a long time dream of meeting someone who would put away all
this pains and agony that i’m going through.
ShtetlFabulousB: I’d be happy to pay your bills. How much do you need?

Ringo2B80: Babe u will send the money to the hotel via western union money transfer
ShtetlFabulousB: ok

never get out of this situation!
ShtetlFabulousB: good- jdate is best when not used

ShtetlFabulousB: you speak excellent Spanish Nicole. I can really hear the Oaxacan accent in your writing! Listen, go to the american embassy and explain the situation.

2. World dating club or some other dating key logging bullshit website: This person talk to you, they aren’t actually a robot. They say go sign up for my site here and when you tell them you refuse to pay for another dating website they say”sucky sucky $5, me love you long time”
3. Someone emails you something totally incoherent but its weird… in order to email you they actually have to pay. I will let you be the judge of this one
