How to detect a scammer:
- If he is too good to be true, then go with your hunch... FAKE PROFILE, Scammer
- Goes from 0-100 in less than a week
- Confesses LOVE, Wants to Marry, Etc. ASAP
- Claims to be religious, and admires that quality in you; but how come your favorite LIFE quote has nothing to do with scripture?
- Never asks for a video chat, can only txt on Google Hangouts or use of gmail
- Selfies are few and slow to come; always the same expression (not natural, candid shots)
- The moment you ask for identity confirmation - he won't or really can't supply, then the conversation ends
- A gentleman would be a gentleman even in the farewell portion, but they just go dark, radio silence!
- Copy and paste some of the romantic love messages, see if they are copying from Romance Dating BLOGS / word for word; the romantic messages differ so much from their normal choice of words, diction
- Is not a man of his word: I love you more (copy of blog post), all that i have is yours (why can't you give me identity confirm then?), I am never going to "loose" you
- "loose" is incorrectly used in place of LOSE
- Schooling in Sweden / But the schools website does not offer an engineering degree related to the field of work
- How were you able to take college courses in Swedish? Oh they give a 1 year language course. But in another convo: No, I don't have any skill for languages; then you research the school and all/most courses are taught in English.
- What real American says: American Born? Don't we say: SoCal Native, Born & Raised in SoCal, etc.?
- They didn't have any recollection of a city listed on their CMB Profile: Bell Gardens. When I asked what is in Bell Gardens, they had no idea what I was talking about.
- American Born (grew up in Florida) but uses "mum" vs. MOM
- On calls, voice doesn't match picture - American Born but slight Singaporean / Chinese / UK accent
- Sometimes English is perfect in Emails and Txts, then it goes crazy less educated, misspellings, poor grammar/punctuation and diction of a less educated person; these scammers work shifts, so sometimes a more educated American sounding txt, and then low educated txter comes on, you get a deep sense in your gut you are talking to diff people (aka multiple personalities)
- Travel / Work details vague, unclear, in the far-flung locations of the world Istanbul, then setting sail for offshore work on an oil rig out in the ocean
- WiFi is spotty, sometimes cannot communicate, CCTV's / Security protocols
- Due to security protocols, should not be communicating so much with an outside party; turns out CELL PHONES ARE NOT ALLOWED on oil rigs!
- Vague about where they grew up, never answers your questions, but wants detailed answers from you
- Asks very great thoughtful / quality questions, seems very gentlemanly in the beginning
- Send me a selfie touching your nose, touching your ear, send me a picture of your mom and you together / NEVER SENT, don't have access to childhood/family photos on this device
- Google Hangouts is all that is allowed due to security protocols
- Seeds you with thoughts about his financial situation: I haven't gotten paid yet on my project in Bristol UK, but I didn't want to mess things up so moving onto my next 3 week project in Istanbul Turkey
- Receive odd message after first long delay in communication in broken English, I slipped and fell into the ocean, almost lost my life, crack in my neck. I lost my ipad GOLD and my credit card. My bank in the UK locked me out. They need to confirm my ID with fingerprint, etc. I need to feed my "workers" but my anty and mum can't send me money right now. / How does this even make logical sense? These are not natural thoughts after having almost lost your life. I thought it was credit card vs. Bank in the UK? Why are there no financial info on file? Why do you need an actual credit card on an oil rig? (well it turns out oil rigs have 24/7 unlimited meals as a free service along with cleaning and laundry services too)
- Claims he had one of his workers txt for him after the slipped into the ocean bit. I asked, isn't it normal etiquette for such a person to introduce themselves, saying they are txting on your behalf?
- Alot of inconsistencies, making you feel like they are talking to many diff parties...
(What you don't trust me "again"? / The use of the word again indicates they caused mistrust with someone else, when red flags went up only once so far)
- Them asking you about your financial situation / Do you own any rental properties?
- Odd introduction of I want to know where we should invest our family assets / businesses? / Why do you have everything in cash right now? Yes, just sitting in a bank acct.
- Always vague about his day, work schedule, work flow. They claim they are always in the control room or in their room. (They don't get private rooms as space is at a premium on oil rigs)
- Get irritated easily when you question them, insists their version of events is true & correct (I am only talking to him, he must be talking to many people, b/c I am crystal clear on what was said, not said)
- Doesn't have an exact plan on when the face to face mtg will happen. Vague, 1 delay after another.
- You can do a google images search to see if they are swiping pics from a real individual
- You can do a reverse search of their phone # to confirm if it is a REAL CELL # or google phone #

CMB was great, and banned his profile.

Have any MEN noticed this pattern? Or is it just a coincidence for me:

I match with a woman. We talk on there, for a while. I give her my number. She texts me "good morning", how was your day", "good evening", etc. and stuff like that... totally cooperative when you try to set something up... "we should DEFINITELY meet", "I would LOVE TO meet"... when you try to set up a solid date, place and time... "I'm in this other city, right now but when I get back, we can do this, next week..." coincidentally, they all say they're out of town for 7 days. When the 7 days are up, they make it a point to text YOU and flake.
And then, they just keep texting you "good morning", "hope you had a good day", "how was your day", etc.

Normally, I would assume that these women simply aren't interested in me... I don't assume that every woman is... but this exact behavioral pattern happened, at least 4 times? And I don't do anything via text that would turn a NORMAL woman off. I've met NORMAL women from dating sites, countless times.
They either meet you and make something happen when they're interested or they ghost, during the texting phase... because they are not. Normal women don't text you good morning and try to get to know a guy they're not interested in.

That's just suspect, to me. If feels like people who work for the company are just cat-fishing guys to motivate them to pay money to use the site. Of course they're going to get geeked and want to drop money, if they're naive and think it's "real".

All 4 of these women were a little too talkative, via text to NOT be interested and all 4 had an excuse as to why they couldn't talk on the phone or meet in person.
Something always came up and I didn't even ask them what happened because I don't really GIVE a fcuk. THEY always brought up what happened.

When I'd ask them for a selfie to make sure they're not catfishes, they always sent photos from the site or professional photos that somebody else took. Never any self-taken photos that a NORMAL woman would take, on the fly.

On top of that, I don't even initiate the text conversations.

It's THEM texting me with boring, otiose and rudimentary, small talk, throughout the day. All 4 would initiate it. They all said they're on vacation or out of town... but when I'd randomly respond to one of their texts, when I got time... they'd respond within 2 minutes. People who are on vacation or out of town on business don't tend to respond a text right away... from a guy they met on a dating app...

On the day we set to meet up, they usually don't respond until the next day and apologize for flaking... 4 women in a row would not behave the same exact way towards me, even if all 4 happen to be playing games. Plus, even the frequency of matches happen damn near robotically and consecutively, every 7 days. The day that one flaked, I had a newer match. 4 times in a row, tho?

Random women who have no connection to one another are not going to all follow the same protocol for rejecting or wasting a man's time. The only thing that changed about these women's conversations was the name of the city or country that they were vacationing or doing business in.

An attractive woman who is NOT interested wouldn't even text a guy, if he drops the number on a dating app. I think it's just a scam. They probably have sex workers or people working at a call center to motivate guys to pay money and (conceptually) get more (fake) matches with (fake) women... more often.

I was on CMB for a couple months last year and did connect with several local men and went on a couple dates so there are real legitimate men on there looking to date and not scam. But I was approached by scammers as well. Relatively new to the world of app dating I knew enough to avoid certain things: military men, men who tell you their whole life stories including their last name in their first couple messages to you and men who post pictures with their children (a caring dad does not do that) and those who immediately want you to start texting with them off the app. I managed to avoid and unmatched those I felt were fake. But there was one man who did not immediately fit the red flag categories (although there were some which I ignored) and I started chatting with him off line. Well, he was in love with me within days and asked for money within a few weeks. I did not send him any and blocked him. I recently, because I did have some success with the app last year, decided to give it another try. I have no idea what changed but this time it was one scammer after another. Some I reported and some the site suspended before I got a chance to report. Looks like they are trying to catch these guys. I can imagine what a nightmare it must be. They shut down one fake profile and these losers just create a new one. This time I did not connect with any local men and after a few weeks I deleted my account. Ladies and gentlemen, if it seems too good to be true it is. If that little voice inside your head suspects even the slightest thing, listen to it. Don't give out your number unless you are certain the person in genuine. It may not seem like a big deal but once these scammers get your info they sell it. Because I made one mistake I now get countless calls from Nigeria and Ghana, weird phishing text messages and although I block them, they just contact you from another number. It's a losing battle. And NEVER fall for their emotional manipulation and send them money. Don't believe there was a an accident, they are being arrested, need money to pay someone off to leave the country so they can come home to you to love you for ever and ever. It's a scam. You're one of dozens of people they are scamming. You are not special to them. You are a paycheck. There's hundreds of stories on YouTube about people who lost hundreds of thousands of dollars falling for these scumbags and their stories. It's big business. If I have one recommendation for CMB is to get rid of the 7 day connect rule. I think this is one main reasons why these scammers like CMB so much. My Nigerian Prince did not pressure me to exchange numbers. The app helped facilitate this. Because of these experiences I am scared of online dating. Not taking my chances and putting myself in harms way again. I do believe in real love I just know I won't find it on Coffee Meets Bagel.
