ONLINE DATING SCAMS REVISED

Meet Ms. Riley

 

"Some dating site brides are young, beautiful, and dangerously alluring sirens who artfully seize their male victims by the heart strings and the wallet, and drain them dry."

Though loneliness is not a crime, many well-intentioned single men are punished daily by attractive single women who prey upon their sympathies and desires for companionship. While dating girls online, single men must become equipped with the tools and knowledge to defend themselves against the beautiful predators who lurk on most free dating sites.

Meet The Quintessential Dating Site Bride

Though she is likely known by a hundred other names, Raven Riley is an adult video icon who is also a victim of the proliferation of online dating scams. Raven’s image has been utilized to commit numerous frauds in various email, instant messenger, and dating site scams, involving hundreds of unsuspecting men in Europe and the USA.

Russian or Ghanaian scam artists utilize Raven's striking image, along with a shrewd array of pre-written, highly-targeted letters, to quickly entice men into a dating, love, or marriage relationship that ultimately escalates into a desperate plea for money.

What Are The Initial Warning Signs of a Dating Site Scam?

  1. The photograph is usually a professional, high-quality image that more than likely has been stolen from an online magazine, modeling agency, or porn site. In most cases, the scam artist only places one intriguing image in her profile, with the promise of providing more to that special man.
  2. The profile itself is generally brief, but ensures the reader that the lady only wishes to communicate with honest, trustworthy men. She has no children, nor will she ever appear to be too well-educated, and she is always willing to relocate for the right man.
  3. The first-contact email demonstrates how strongly she is attracted to her victim's interesting profile and expresses a frantic need to know him better. She will usually offer her Hotmail or  Yahoo email address to lure the victim away from the dating site as soon as possible.
  4. She will send the victim approximately four (4) new photographs via his private email address. These photographs will intentionally be far more provocative than her profile image and serve to both further validate her identity, as well as seduce the victim into wanting to see more.
  5. After a brief encounter, the victim will learn about her tragic past, where one or both of her parents were killed, hospitalized, or just plain abandoned her. She may be stuck in some foreign country like Ghana, living in a hotel that she can no longer afford because she was robbed and badly beaten, and her new man is the only one in the world who can help her.

The Dating Site Bride Usually Always Gets Her Man

Female scam artists are very selective and know the right buttons to push to lure men into quickly-conceived plots to fleece them out of hundreds of dollars. For a young man confined to a wheelchair, an older reclusive gentleman with no close friends or family, or even a successful executive who is always on the go, finding such an alluring bride online is a Godsend, and he will pay any reasonable price to keep her.

The scam artist will politely ask for money for an airline ticket to visit her man; a small amount of cash for food or medicine; enough money for a cell phone to call him, or cash for a webcam so he can see more of her. The "scammer" may say that without the money from her "man," she will be forced to sell her computer and not be able to communicate with him anymore. When successful, she is never satisfied and will drain the victim dry before moving on to her next target.

How Can Female Dating Site "Scammers" Be Stopped?

It is believed that many of these female dating site scam artists are not women at all, but men who use female photographs as avatars to accomplish their online dating schemes. However, there are actions that can be taken to guard against becoming a victim.

Heed the Online Dating Scam Artist's Warning Signs

  • a photograph of a female suitor that looks too good to be true
  • Single women who fall head-over-heels in love, in less time than it takes to sip a hot cup of green tea
  • The profile of a woman indicates that she lives in one country; then she later reveals that she is currently visiting Ghana, West Africa
  • a young female dating site member who has experienced far more than her share of unbelievable tragedy

The Ultimate Dating Site Scam Cure

Decline all invitations to chat or write emails outside of the built-in protection of the online dating site. Most dating sites provide chat and email to allow members to communicate safely, without revealing personal information. There are also hierarchies within the site that prevent "free dating" members from initiating actions other than limited winks and kisses. Make it difficult, if not impossible, for online dating scam artists to operate.
