Nowadays scammers are everywhere. Most big online dating communities and social networks are flooded with scammers. Who are scammers? Scammers are people, who use dating community network services to deceive other members and to drive money out of their pockets. Scammers usually present themselves as nice women (with fake photographs) and wait for some member of a dating network to start chatting with them. From then on, the scammer pretends to fall in love with the ‘victim’ and makes up fabulous messages filled with love and romantic content. Suddenly, a sad story is made up, for example, an accident, an illness, a close one’s death, and the scammer asks for financial help. The ‘victim’ falls for it and sends out the money. Another dating scheme is that of the scammer’s wish to meet the ‘victim’, but having no money asks, again, for financial help.
