scammer spotted. Someone: “My name is Paul _________, I’m from Norway and I’m a marine Engineer....” Me: “ Yeah right.” Click the delete button and off you go to the bin. Watch this guy he is a gold member. Scammers, have you encountered any of these scammers? In my experience all of them reveal a lot about themselves the first time, like their full name and their occupation. They are always marine engineer in my experience or they travel a lot. Observe the cut and paste on the emails. Observe the subtle discrepancies. In his profile he said he has black, long hair but in the photo he has brown short hair. Could he really be a scammer? But he is a gold member. Hmm I will do some homework and will let you know. There was this high profile case in NZ where a former Maori official was lured by a scammer; they have been on line lovers if you may call it. When it was time to meet in person the supposedly European guy paid for her fare and everything but he requested to pick up some documents for him from another country on her way to London which she did. Poor woman so in love she was arrested at the airport because the supposed documents she picked up were drugs. Sharon Armstrong is the name of the Maori woman and was arrested in Buenos Aires because of the cocaine found in the suitcase that she came to pick up on her way to London. We have a saying “walang manloloko kung walang magpapaloko”. I don’t agree on this one because the one who is “naloko” was the product of the “manloloko”, a victim. So it should say “walang maloloko kung walang manloloko” No one will say hey “halika nandito ako lokohin mo ako”. Translators wanted please, any volunteer? Wiser? Me: Not everyone who reveals everything about themselves the first time are real and those who keep some anonymity are not always fake. You will get to know each other as time passes by. Keep you radars sharp. So what if he is a paying gold member, it is business just like the supposed European who spent thousands. “Use the quotation for the occasion; do not make an occasion for the quotation.” |

Thanks Iris, I will try my best to translate the saying, it says "there will be no tricksters if we don't allow to be tricked" " I said I disagree because the one who was tricked was created by the trickster, a victim. The saying should be " No one will be tricked if there are no tricksters" because no one says I'm here come and trick me. I do check your blogs too, “Use the quotation for the occasion; do not make an occasion for the quotation.”

I guess it's ok but just be very vigilant. If he starts asking for something else then hear the alarms. “Use the quotation for the occasion; do not make an occasion for the quotation.”
