Hello and welcome.Sadly they are on all dating sites.Take your time and watch for bad English and grammar,most of them are from none English speaking countries.Don't give your email address or personal information,someone genuinely interested won't rush you for that,the scammers are usually in love with you within a few days and then give a sob story asking for money.
Join in the forums,there are good people here much wiser than me with this subject. Good luck and stay safe :smile:

Well actually justfun, as it happens, my dog has just been hurt in a car accident.
My house has just been raised to the ground by fire.
The taxman is looking for me for an unpaid debt.
I'm in total despair and I wondered if you fancied a chathappy

Yes...I have, and still do...one person gave me their phone # and said "am luv you" right off the bat which was not cool, another tried to be a "friend" first...:laughing: it's ludicrous what they do!

I got this from one, if it starts similarly to this even before you start chatting, put the red flag up:
[hello dear, i must confess to you that your pretty looks makes me wanna kiss your lovely lips all day long with out getting of you. darling i got so attracted to your wonderful profile and i will be so glad to get acquainted with you like knowing each more better. i will be so pleased to hear from you dear. i hope to hear from you soon dear, thanks... have a lovely day angel, thanks. ]

Next, they will say they are hopelessly in love with you, can't work thinking of you, arrange to fly to meet you, get stuck at the immigrations/get into trouble with the customs/got caught by the police/ lost their passport/credit card/got robbed/got detained/etc etc.

It is endless....and the list seems to be growing! So, just be on your toes....good luck girl!
