Antheia -> Why answer scamsthis (9/6/2009 2:39:01 PM)
What is with this overabundance of scammers on CM? I am happy to see CM actually does have a warning against them. But what about these people (mostly males) who answer the ads from these other people (mostly women) who seem to use the same b s lines about having money they have to invest or some such story. Looking for bank account numbers and so on. I have been surprised to see how often those women seem to get takers ( before the takers are taken :) ). Is this the thoughts of money or just plain foolishness? Or are some just to trusting? I wonder myself. Antheia

Actually the majority of the scammers I hae seen who are the whole "My uncle died I need an american to get the moeny for me" line have always been male, and from male-run countries contacting me. I do occasionally get a female try, but that doesnt go over any better. I got more on myspace than I did here, which is why I no longer bother with myspace. Scammers will set up shop wherever there is a large population and anonymous contact.

I had an older woman (my grams age) email me it was obviously a scam but it was funny at the same time. I had a guy on myspace try and convince me to open a bank account for so his boss overseas can pay him and he could come home. He even had a kid join in w/him on the sceme it was rather sad. So the scammers are every where,although I have yet to see any on tagged.

Scamers are one of the reasons I don't bother with face book and similar sites. I get enough here and on several of my email accounts which are dealt with ....Block & delete

I occasionally will allow access to someone I already know. As far as the scammers, I simply delete their emails for the most part.

Because there is no pigeon so easy as a horny male.....unless it is a drunken horny male.

Here's what people should do - take the message from one scammer and send it off to another scammer. Then they can email each other back and forth trying to scam each other.
