They are offering the chance of finding true love and there are plenty of takers. However later, the susceptible hearts accept requests that will ultimately lead to financial losses and heartbreak. The scammers mostly choose chat rooms and dating sites since the person in love offers the chance of the biggest payoffs.
Scammers use photos taken from profiles of other people on dating sites, they never use photos of themselves, and they are photos of innocent victims. They may also use many aliases like emails, age, photos, gender and sexual orientation in order to cast their net to catch as many victims as possible. Scammers often use attractive female photo profiles as lots of men will respond to an attractive woman's personal ad based on the photo alone. Sometimes the scammer purchases goods with stolen credit cards but have problem getting them delivered as many US merchants are now wary of shipping to Nigeria.
If the scammer has asked for money, stop further communications with them where no matter how truthful they may, enjoy the relationship but don’t send them money.
