Hey, just wondering if any other guys get emails from overseas girls who come on way too strong and don't really seem genuine? what's the go with this? are they trying to escape to a better country? or something along those lines...


Any replies appreciated...

I'd say some are trying to get to other countries... they'll want a ring on their finger before you even have the first date.

Others are probably really guys in Africa, with false photos and profiles fishing for someone gullible enough to fall for their over enthusiastic advances, say they love them and get into what they think is a relationship. Then the 'woman' goes on holiday or has some issues like she's lost her purse and needs a few hundred dollars or pounds or Euros or whatever transfering to her 'friends' bank account so they can get home.

Another popular one is that they ask you to buy their plane ticket to your country, then while you're stood with a bunch of roses looking for the sexy minx you've been looking at and chatting to all these weeks, the guy from behind the computer screen walks straight past you and off into the crowd to get a job illegally and live the life of riley until immigration catch up with him... then he claims asylum and gets a free house and health care.

They basically lure you in, play the damsel in distress needing money, then if you bite, they'll fleece you for every penny they can get and you'll never hear from them again. It always ends up in them asking for money. Try it out... respond to the emails and see how long it takes to get round to asking you for cash. Just don't send anything to them, because it's all lies.

Same goes for women with guys pulling the same trick.

I have been talking to this very nice lady on msn for the last two months or so, the other day she informed me that she was not well and needed to go in to hospital, as all her family was dead, I was the only one that could help her, she was going to let me know how much it would cost so I could send her the money, I said yes OK, some of them will wait up to 12 months, and then ask for the money, I blocked her.

Good on you. It's mental how many people fall for this kind of scam without ever meeting the people asking them for money.

even though you often talked online, why would you send money to a complete stranger anyway? i bet you're not the very first person she's talked to regarding that "i am sick-and-all-my-family-and-relatives-and-friends-are-dead" thing. DUH! THAT LADY IS REALLY "SICK!"

I HAVE HEARD OF THIS A GREAT DEAL FOR MANY YEARS.

Mostly girls from 3rd world/poor countries who are looking for men to pay for their way to North America, get them settled, maybe even have a baby with them, then dump them to go for love with someone else. It's big boys, it happens a lot. BE CAREFUL. Phillipenes are bad for it.

I totally agree.. and that's why when there's a genuine Asian girl the guys will not even answer the winks. anyway, time has changed and most of us Asian gals are very educated.

Here my experience from Tagged: After a few email with this UK guys over 3 month, he called me to send him $$$ coz he was injured while he was robbed during a business trip to Nigeria need to have operation and he lost all belongings. And the best was after his phone call, his doctor sent me an email. Its so sick !!! He must be thinking that we (ladies in general) are desperate to get a man!!!. I replied and told him that I have inform the UK Embassy to contact him !!!! No reply ever since! So ladies!!! please be cautious on your details.

I hope there NO such people in FreeHookup!!

To Karmallama,

I figured this was the case... I sent replies asking questions like... are you an automated message?
and recieved more blabber about "herself" and whatnot. It was funny while it lasted... ! well at least it was funny for me

By the way... are you a journalist or something? or studying it? could be a seriously good career choice for you. You have some great writing skills, very pleasant and interesting to read.

Thanks for everyones reply relative to my question.

some man are not honest, they are playboys, taking woman as an object.

[Karmallama]

I'm not a journalist or anything, but I have to study it for this scam I'm running to get myself a free holiday to Brazil

Ok, so I'm joking. But thanks for the compliments.
