How online dating scam works
Almost every single dating site is infected with scammers. Making money by tricking innocent people is their everyday job on dating sites. They usually start their day with creating catching profiles and sending messages to potential victims. They tell about love, honesty and trust, things we're looking for. They play with people feelings, and then disappear leaving them without money and with broken hearts.
Never send money for any reason!
It's a scam if someone asks you to send money

someone to live with but someone i can't live without starting off as friends and see where it all leads.
How long have you been single on this site and what has your experience been like?
Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you respond. It's all about attitude. I would describe my self as optimistic, yet realistic. I am not looking for my best friend, just an honest girl with a positive attitude. Yours Admirer Ryan Jacob. Hugs and Kisses"
"I am looking for my partner for life. Someone to care for, someone to love and share with, my hopes,
my dreams, my sorrows, Someone who knows a relationship is a work of art, something that you strive
together in building and molding it into place, I miss the touch of a lady, and sharing affection with
a lady, you might laugh at me, but I miss every aspect that comes with being that significant other
for another, I miss talking, kissing, holding hands, hugging, cuddling, snuggling and laughing with
the lady and queen of my heart, but not in a rush and will like to start as friends and take it a
step at a time, letting God be the center of it all. I will appreciate it if I can have your email
so we can communicate better."
"Hello there, good morning beautiful one. My name is Dwayne.

"Good morning, how are you doing this morning, hope you did had a goodnight sleep, Well,
Permit me to express myself the way am seeing your profile and picture out here, You're so
beautiful that every man would want to hold hands with..Looking into your eyes alone, shows
me a beautiful world.And i guess I'll be the luckiest man getting to talk to you my name is
Patrick divorced gents with easy life style with simple things in life a go get kind heart man..
I know we stand thousand miles away but I don't believe in philosophy I believe in destiny
and chemistry, in life we do things sometimes that we are not even sure and if friends or
anybody sees it from a far they think you've gone mad just because you do the impossible
things others can't afford to risk for if you know what I mean? This where my assumption
is coming from meaning that distance or culture shouldn't be a problems for the two hearts
that feel connected because I will do whatever it takes to bring back joy and happiness with
LOVE and feel that spicy of been loved and cared for, I am looking for Love and not interested
how much distance or what Culture or nationality I will travel a million miles for LOVE and
will Kill for LOVE. This how straightforward I am I am sorry, I just have to poor out my mind
and tell it just the way i feel not at this age that I will be playing games when I stand the
last chance of being happy and live life to it fullest.I am a person who looks beyond what
may be the obvious. Character is worth more than flashiness. I am a person who appreciates
honesty and a great sense of humor. I love to laugh and to enjoy the simple things in life.
I would appreciate a person who has a good sense of who she is and a sense of direction about
where she wants to be. I can appreciate a woman who sees a man as a friend and a partner...
I know that men and women all have an inner child within and that is why I would appreciate
days filled with fun and laughter. I respect and admire to taking care of business in life--
family, work, community, etc Yet, I know life involves balance. I look for the good in most
situations and choose to look for the good in others. I know that life involves give and take
and that what you seek--is that you must be willing to give and demonstrate yourself. I am a
romantic at heart. I will end here for now till I hear back from you.
Otherwise have a Wonderful day. Cheers, Patrick"

"hello, you welcome. My name is Gertrude from Maryland. If you ready to make me happy
