New stories from victims who've encountered scammers on the dating sites Zoosk and POFAvoid romance scams, get educated today!Join us on FacebookScamming Sca. Jan 30, 2020 If you get many results of the same photo model (they probably took a celebrity, model, or stock image photo online), you can safely assume this POF profile is fake. Often, these scammers use the same picture on more than one dating website. That’s a very reliable way of recognizing scammers on POF or any other dating service. A background check investigation is the first step to confirm if someone is trying to deceive you. Online dating scammers do not use their real identities for fear of being caught. They will instead create a fake name and a fake life story. Many of the romance scams today even involve forged documents like passports or an ID to make the story. POF Romance Scammer:aka Many names!starting with who I was told: Scott Max Aleta.the other names I have found.

When you’re doing the online dating thing and have signed up with some dating sites, how do you know if the profile you’re looking at is a real person legitimately looking for romance, or just a scammer looking to steal your heart and your money. Most romantic scammers follow the same patterns. Keep reading to find out how to spot a romance scammer by their online dating profile.
To start off, for any of you fellows reading this article, if you’ve been unknowingly making yourself look like a romance scammer, you need to update your dating profile ASAP because women are on to the warning signs of what might be a scam profile! Depending on the user name you chose, you might have to delete your old profile and start from scratch.
Most romantic scammers with phony profiles are looking to steal your money. Some men might be planning to cheat on their wife, but most who have fake dating profiles are thieves.
Romance scammers like to use weird number combinations as part of their user name on dating sites. Some men out there, who might not be romance scammers, do have trouble choosing a name, every name they tried is already taken, and they decide to just toss some random numbers into their user name. Don’t do it! That’s almost always a sure sign of how to spot a romance scammer. Some legitimate guys find a name they like has been taken, so they add their age to the end of the word, but depending on how many years have gone by since he joined, this alerts women how long he’s been on this site. Some guys use their birth year. A year might look pretty obvious to women, especially if it matches the age on your profile, this shouldn’t tag you as a romance scammer, but you still might want to look at deleting your profile and starting over with a new name minus numbers. Some guys use cute names that include numbers such as: Iwant2dateU. That probably won’t trigger a warning bell with most women. However, if you’re Lewis770, 123darrell, cocoon563, David6310, charplance123, Ron05391, 17fishing21, Jim777taco, and so on, you’re going to be ignored. Put some thought into the user name. Incorporating a hobby would be a good suggestion, like BaseballHarry. If you like cats, don’t put use it as your profile name. For some oddball reason many romance scammers like to call themselves cats. There’s Alanthecat, Johnthecat, Brianthecat, and numerous other cats out there.
We’re all visual creatures. If someone’s photo isn’t attractive to us, we’re not going to click on it and read the profile. Romance scammers usually only have one photo they’re using. They lifted it from some man who’s photo they found online, who probably has no idea that scammers are using his image. Romance scammers can’t get hold of more than one photo. That’s a big warning sign if a man only has one photo up on his dating profile – he’s probably a scammer. So you guys out there legitimately looking for romance online, if you only have one photo of yourself up – upload more ASAP. Most online dating profiles allow their users to post several photos. Get as many photos up as you can to distance yourself from online romance scammers. Ladies, when in doubt if that attractive man with only one photo up is a romantic scammer, use Google’s reverse image search. You’ll likely see that photo come up attached to many online dating sites, and the scammer is using different locations and ages. Then go back to your online dating site and send a message to the administrators the guy is a scammer. They’ll usually boot him off quickly and cancel the account. If there is no photo on the online dating profile, it’s also probably a scammer. It might just be a man looking to cheat on his wife and he doesn’t want his photo posted in case someone he knows is browsing, recognizes him, and alerts the wife. Either way no photo = pass.
Online dating sites have questions their users fill in to help searchers find them or make a decision if this might be a match. Scammers will often leave questions unanswered or “will tell you later”. These are sketchy responses and makes the person look evasive. If the question is “do you want children” and the answer is yes or no, just answer it. If you have more to say about that topic, put it in your profile. If the question is “do you have a car”, again, just answer it. You’d think this would be a simple yes or no question. but too many people choose “will tell you later” or “unknown”. If you’re unsure, go outside and look around your driveway and in your garage. Do you see a car? Come back to the online dating profile and report your findings. Most women prefer to date a man who has a car. We’re not too keen on a man who shows up on a bike and wants us to sit on the handlebars.
Female Romance Scammers On Pof Plenty Of Fish
This is the place for the person looking for romance to toot their own horn and talk about themselves. Write about their hobbies, their pets, places they’d like to travel to, their career goals, what they’re looking for in a relationship, or maybe share a cute story. Don’t waste valuable real estate writing something stupid that screams romance scammer all over it like this:
I’m a true believer and i know the God that I serve will se me through in this endeavor. I believe the most valuable thing in life is to have true happiness, so I strive in the lord to have as many moments of happiness as possible though it’s not always so easy due to temptations. I’m more comfortable in the outdoors but find myself indoors too often. I’m kind of an introvert but funny enough I sometimes become quite the extrovert around women I like or that I think are cute. I can be very passionate when it comes to a relationship. I’ve never found “the one” and become more anxious about that every passing year. I truly believe I could rise to greatness if I just had the right motivation with God’s approval. I have a great personality that I am so confident off. I know that God is set to give me my right woman with a godly heart. Someone have to make the first move..please if the lord has touched your heart drop me a note.
And yes, the above copy and paste is from a romance scammer’s profile.
Many romance scammers come from places like Nigeria, Russia, and Eastern Europe where English is not the first language, and they’re pretending to be residents of Florida or Texas or somewhere else that English is the official language. If you’re not a romance scammer and your spelling isn’t the greatest, run your profile through the spell check on your computer’s word processing program or get a friend review it. Leave the text speak off your dating profile.
The favorite career choices for online romance scammers are an oil rig worker, construction, or engineering. That sucks for legitimate men on dating sites if that’s one of their careers! You’ll have to work extra hard to have a well-written profile that includes many photos.
Romance scammers are almost always widowed. It’ll be a sad tale indeed because the deceased wife died in a car crash or from cancer. The “widower” usually has 2 children: one in college (probably a girl) and a younger school age child, usually a 12 year old boy. And they’re usually having financial difficulty and that college kid needs money for tuition or books or whatever and that’s when they’ll first hit you up for money. Online romance scammers pretend to be all ages in order to appeal to younger and older women. The problem is they don’t change their family story. A man who claims to be in his 60s (when most people have adult children) and he’s still yapping about his dead wife and 12 year old son, because that’s the same spiel he uses on the profile where he pretends to be 40 years old, isn’t going to be too appealing to a woman in her 60s who has already raised a family.
Romantic scammers don’t normally pay for dating sites, unless they’ve managed to steal a credit card from somewhere. They’re cheap that way. Plus they know eventually they’ll get reported and their profile will be deleted by the dating site’s administrators. That’s a waste of money for them. Romance scammers still show up on paid dating sites because they often have a trial period or free users have limited access. If it’s an online dating site that has both paid users and free users, there is usually a symbol or a notification attached to the profile so other users can see if this person is a full-fledged paying member or not. If it’s dating site that is geared mostly to paid members, stick with corresponding only the full privilege users. The freebie users might just be checking things out before deciding to pay, but there’s a better chance they’re a romance scammer.
Male Scammers On Pof
Those romantic scammers know all the online dating sites but on niche sites it’s pretty obvious they’re scammers. Niche dating sites are popular for people looking for romance with partners who have an interest in that niche. This could be a religious based dating site, vegetarians, cat lovers, scuba divers, etc. Romance scammers are easy to spot on these sites. If the dating site is all about connecting with other cat lovers, the people putting up profiles will be posting photos of themselves and their cats. A romance scammer only has one photo he uses on every dating site he can find, and there’s probably no cat. A romance scammer on a vegetarian dating site will probably say his favorite food is steak or make a similar stupid mistake. There are too many stories about women who’ve been victimized on online Christian dating sites, where they don’t think it’s possible a scammer would hang out. Romance scammers can certainly look up scriptures and quote them or pretend about their religious beliefs. Don’t let your guard down.
If you receive a message from someone on an online dating site that goes like this:
“Hello sweetie. You have a beautiful smile and I feel I have fallen in love. I believe the most valuable thing in life is to have true happiness. I love children and am widowed with a teenage boy and a girl who goes to college. I can be very passionate when it comes to a relationship. I seek my soul mate and become more anxious about that every passing year. I have a great personality and am so confident that God is set to give me my right woman. If I have touched your heart drop me a note.”
