How Internet Dating Scams Work

by Jessica A

Do you know about internet dating scams? If you spend any time socializing with people on the internet, you should be aware of them. The victims of these scams usually end up losing money, but they also suffer emotional damage; they are often left with a broken heart or a bruised ego. These scams are sleazy and awful. It typically begins when a woman or a man starts communicating with someone they found or met on an internet dating site.

The scammer bides his or her time. They chat or send messages just long enough for the victim to grow attached to the scammer and trust him or her. Internet dating scams usually follow this pattern: Once the scammer has gained the victim's trust, he or she will begin talking about financial troubles. It could either be a line made up about how a family member needs help or how they will have to stop using the internet because they can't pay their bills. The victim, who cares for the scammer, will rush out to try and help in any way they can.

This usually involves sending money to the scammer, most often through Western Union or some other wire transfer system. The victim starts out believing they are helping out a friend. But after they send the money, they usually never hear back from their 'friend' again. An occasional victim might see a 'thank you' letter and perhaps a few other notes, but that's not usual. Internet dating scams are a pathetic and terrible thing to do to someone, but people do it. If you utilize internet dating services, be aware and watch for 'friends' asking for money, or hinting that they need help. Never send money to someone you haven't met. Don't be a victim like so many others have.
