Has anyone else noticed the striking resemblance TN user "Irena5272" has to a porn star named Julia Ann? This has to be another fake!Can anyone explain why these "young ladies" contacting us older men keep pushing for a "Google Hangout" contact? I don't understand. My usual answer is "I'm not on Google. I run Linux."
Simple $$$. They are either taking you to a porn site, OR taking you somewhere where they can start sob stories and try to talk you out of money.
The fake gay ones are not even attempting to disguise it. Always the same thing (insert first name here) Gay. Usually show up in the profile likes Sometimes I wonder if it would be better to have a paid link page to these sites so as not to flood our profile likes page with all these fakes. Otherwise, we keep flagging them and they will keep creating fake profiles. Never ending cycle. I just wonder if anyone here falls for their scam.
Safety Tip - Gone to Ghana? - Not likely!
Be suspicious of anyone who claims they live in the USA, but are on assignment in Nigeria, Ghana or other African countries. Dishonest individuals will claim it is because they are an engineer, aid worker or business person and they suddenly need money because they have been robbed or are a victim of some disaster. Report anyone who asks you for money. Never send money to anyone who you meet online.
Safety Tip - Beware of fake webcams
Some scammers from Ghana, Nigeria, Russia or other countries will stream a fake webcam stream when you chat with them on webcam. They do this by using a pre-recorded video that appears as if they are the person on the other end of the webcam. In order to protect yourself from fake web cams ask the person to verify that they are not a recording by standing up, waving, holding up a hand or writing a message on a piece of paper and holding it for you to see. If the person is real they should be able to obey your requests in real time. If the webcam is fake they will be unable to do any of these things in real time.
