OK guys I am new to this. I have read the part about scammers and turned off all email from anywhere other than Australian related counties. Can you still get scammers, am I being paranoid. I had an email from a really nice person seemed OK, had photograph First paragraph fine, but in the next they were talking about their long golden curly hair, they had short brown hair in photo.

And another Man same , first paragraph description of themselves OK appeared well educated capable of good sentences but then there was this sentence about the woman they were looking for and it read like, Me want nice lady"' HUH WHAT, I don't want to be rude to anyone genuine but, it cracked me up laughing but worried me at the same time.DO we have a list of names posted that are found out not to be who they say they are. Don't want to turn into a paranoid idiot dunno

No list is available. Naming people is actually not allowed.

After you have been here a while you will automatically get to know the tossers from the real people. Be cautious but polite in the meantime.wine

Hey Molly.
Welcome to the Madhouse forums.
Someone posted a link to a site that lists scams and scammers.
The forum title was "Nigerian Scammers" the link is at the bottom of the first page.
Won't take too long and you'll start to figure out how to spot the duds. Have a look back through the forums there are some good tips in them.

Hey Molly wave We also have a thread labelled Scam Artists. It might be frowned on by the mods, I don't know....but it will give you an idea on how and what some of them write.

Hi Molly , from my experiance , If he seems to good to be true , he is .If he seems too polite & calls you dear , If he is travelling& goes of line for long periods ,asks for your email, usually has a yahoo account rather than msn, starts off very interested then starts to use less & less input into the conversation , Is an engineer living in melb but at the moment travelling in Nigeria or some obscure nation,Uses the word Cool alot !!some times talks in broken english , never calls you only text/emails,asks questions that you have already answered ,tells you that you yes you are the only woman he has connected with emoitionally, says he is well off ,loves children & animals , doesnt have family himself ...then he is a fake !!!!
good luck

Ok hi guys am at work ha but just jumped on to have a sticky wow! I got one yesterday from Apparently Ireland, yet i have blocked all other countries apart from Aust & NZ, hello how did he get thru? or is the little shite right here in Aust? anyway have reported him to the MODS, as i said he is either here or is a whizz on computers? so molly just be careful as when it comes to contact, i think wat Kizzy has stated is so very true.
Cheers
