Warning signs
 |
| Her agency |  |
|
Her Agency is "blacklisted" or includes other scammers.
|
| Her letters | |
|
She sends the same letters that known scammers have written.
|
| Your name | |
|
She addresses you by the wrong name (or the letter is not written to you at all). Your name appears only once at the beginning of the letter.
|
| She avoids direct questions | |
|
She avoids direct questions about her personal life, where she lives, home address, phone number, place of employment.
|
| She fall "in love" with you after only a few letters/emails | |
|
Even if you are a great guy it's too fast. Until you've met in person and spent time together, any claims of love should be suspect. Even if she seems genuine about it, you should seriously consider moving on to a more rational, level-headed person who wants to take the time to get to know someone really well before making any type of commitment.
|
| My mother/grandmother/son/daughter needs an operation | |
|
You might see her asking for money to help with a sick mother or child, or she is having other money problems, and she can turn to only you for help as she knows you love each other and are meant to be together soon. It's not appropriate at all in any culture to ask a stranger you've never met to help you.
|
| She wants to study English (or your native language) | |
|
Unless you've met in person and things are serious, you have no reason to be paying for her to study foreign languages.
|
| She ask you to pay her Internet | |
|
She might ask for money to pay for her Internet, translations so she can correspond with you.
|
| She offers to come visit you | |
|
She offers (or want) to come visit you but she needs money for a visa, airline ticket, insurance, travel pass, ...
|
| She needs money to secure your lodging for a visit | |
|
For your meetings with her she might want to arrange everything, asking you to send money so she can have lodging and transportation taken care of before you arrive. If she suggests this, be careful. Especially if she asks you to send cash.
|
| When you do meet in person | |
|
When you do meet (if things go so far) she wants to go to expensive places to eat, high class night spots, theatre or some other unusually expesive event or entertainment. If you see that she gets angry or mad at the slightest thing that you do that does not please her, or at any other of life's simple little irritants.
|
| If you do not send money | |
|
If you can't send the money right away, you don't love her and were only playing her and now she is heart broken and can't trust men again because you are all the same.
