Please read this profile and tell me does this sound like a scammer profile ? Personally I say: yes.
I won't mention this person's name yet untill the board administrators confirm this is factual.
It sound's like the cut and pasted line's these guy's use to lure women. I have no intention of talking with him.

I agree the grammer is poor , but the fact this man is 62 , and is talking about sex , is what caught my attention , because it remind's me of the line's that are used by these bogus military people.

I have No intention of talking to this person , but his comment on My profile is what Woke Me Up.
I am the woman of his dream's. And can he come for a visit.

He does mention Africa in his profile. That's odd ?

Thankyou for the quick reply Dotti. I appreciate it.

Another one hit on me today 3/13 on okcupid , name handle > kolakolakolo , name Gary. (Vancouver BC , Canada)
Claim's he work's for Randstad Canada (gas & oil processing ) Age 51. He said he graduated from Medical School , and earn's $150 to $250,000 yearly.

Wanted my e-mail address right away , I said No.
His style of writing is identical with bad grammer.
He said his 16 year old son lives with his Mum in Fort Wayne Indiana.
I asked what happened to his son's mother and he wouldn't respond.
I asked if he worked on an Oil Rig , and got no reply.

His profile is so simular to all the other guy's posted about on this web site.
#155976 by Dotti Tue Mar 12, 2013 7:45 pm
Can you post the actual text from this other guy's profile?

Obviously many Americans or Canadians make mistakes in English, but Africans often make specific mistakes and use certain phrases that allow us to identify the writers as African. The first profile didn't have many of those indicators, which is why I said it looks more like an American (or Canadian) with poor English. While the first could be a scammer, there are several things in the profile that are inconsistent with scammer (I won't list them here as I don't want to educate scammers, but if you are interested in knowing what I mean, pm me.

On this second profile, the one-child scenario and choice of employers both increase the odds of it being a scammer, and we might be able to see African English there too if you post the text.

Hi Dotti , I reported him to okcupid.

This was his private messages to me>

Hi there,
I found your profile captivating and sincere, I have just moved to Burnaby less than a year ago and loving my little spot. Felt that inner peace settling down here. I hope we can be friends and perhaps explore this friendship further. leave me your email so that we'd be able to stay in touch better since I am not sure work allows me to spend much of my time on here.

Gary.

Mar 12, 2013 – 12:38pm
For now you'll have to settle for chatting with me here because I don't give out my e-mail to total strangers.
I'm glad you like my profile Gary. .


Mar 12, 2013 – 12:42pm
Umm well I am here for now and we can chat now.. I asked for your email cuss I don't get on here often.. When did you join this site? Have you meet anyone on here? What is your experience on here?

Mar 12, 2013 – 12:44pm
I am Gary, I live in Halifax str Burnaby, I came here almost a year now for a contract work with Randstad Canada CH2M Hill Report this


Mar 12, 2013 – 12:51pm
No , I haven't met anyone on here. I've been here less then 2 week's.

Sounds like your job keep's you quite busy.

Mar 12, 2013 – 1:03pm
What type work do you do Gary ? How old is your son , and where does he live ? What happened to his mother ? Divorce ? Deceased ? I'm sure he misses being away from you.

Mar 12, 2013 – 1:14pm
I am a Chem Eng, Brian is 16 yrs old, he lives with my mum in Fort Wayne Indiana, I will be looking forward to read more from you and to connect with you outside the site .

Mar 12, 2013 – 1:17pm
For the time being you'll have to settle with contacting me okcupid.

What happened to your son's mother Gary ?

Mar 12, 2013 – 1:22pm
Do you work on an Oil Rig since you do Chem. Eng work ? That would be a really cool job , but very demanding of one's time.

Mar 12, 2013 – 1:26pm
Are you still there Gary ?

Mar 12, 2013 – 1:57pm
Since you didn't respond to my last few questions I guess your no longer interested in talking to me ?

Probably because Your "Not" who you say you are , and your in Nigeria Africa
running a scam to try to bilk me and other women out of money.
The above picture is not of a 51 year old man. More like a young guy in his late 20's early 30's , am I right ?? You guy's think your really slick smoothe fast talkers , Wrong , You've been reported to okcupid as a scammer.

A man contacted me from New Delhi India , I got this message from okcupid's staff robot >

: avoid internet scams. Don’t ever transfer funds to someone you met on the Internet. And keep your conversations safely on OkCupid. (Why this warning?)
Lately we’ve gotten a handful of complaints about people pretending to be stranded overseas. These scams are rare. Still, protect yourself.

Keep your conversation on OkCupid.
Don’t give money to people on the internet.
Don’t believe people who claim to be stranded in far off places. If such a person contacts you, click the Flag icon on their profile to report them.

(Why this warning?)


In reality, it is partly just to keep you logging into the site, but there is also a security aspect.

Scammers try to get you to IM or email as quickly as possible, because they know there is a good chance that a target will report them, and their dating account may be closed.

If you move to email or IM with a scammer, and he is booted off the site for scamming after you have started emailing, he can just keep up the "relationship" with you, and even if you notice his profile is gone, he can tell you he deleted it because he fell in love with you.

If you stay on the site and don't exchange personal email addresses, etc., then when he is kicked off, he automatically loses contact with you and can't continue the scam.
