If you do any kind of chatting or socializing online, you should be aware of some of the internet dating scams out there. First of all, they are terrible. Not only does the victim end up losing money with most of these scams, but they end up with a broken heart or at the very least a bruised ego. The scams usually take place on internet dating sites. It usually begins when a man or woman start talking to someone they met on one of these sits.

Most of the time, they communicate back and forth long enough for the victim to develop some sort of feelings for the scammer. Then, with most internet dating scams, the scammer will begin telling the victim about how they are having hard times. It could either be a line made up about how a family member needs help or how they will have to stop using the internet because they can't pay their bills. Having grown to trust and care for the scammer, the victim usually does whatever they can do to help.

This, of course, typically involves sending cash. Usually the victim will send the money through a wire transfer system like Western Union. The victim starts out believing they are helping out a friend. But after they send the money, they usually never hear back from their 'friend' again. Sometimes there will be a 'thank you' letter and possibly a few more, but usually there isn't. Internet dating scams are a disgusting and terrible to pull on someone, but they are still widespread. So if you're using an internet dating service, be careful. Be wary of any 'friends' who ask for money or drop heavy hints about needing your help. Never send money to someone you haven't met.
