Who is novel or dating scams are directed at?


Incidence of romance or dating scams have been increasing since arrived at public knowledge
not too long ago. Yet, many people in the Western world are yet to grasp the reality
the fact that this seems to be increasing.Maybe, because most of
people who lose money to these scams don't speak about their losses. many people prefer
to support the financial losses in silence, rather than disclose to any other party.

On the other hand, in Nigeria and other places where the scammers operate large
amounts of dollars are being received daily against the blows. in the third week of March, for example, a young 20 year old, fetching only admission at the University, deceived 5000 pounds
a middle aged woman in the United Kingdom. He's not the only one that collecting such amounts
meetings or romance scams. Daily, in thousands of cafes across Nigeria, especially, the Southwest and other West African countries, tens of thousands of young people are actively working on fraud, looking for victims.

But then the question arises-who makes the scammers to target their activities They just pick on? anyone anywhere, or do they have a certain set of people that they focus on defraudá them your money?

From what I could gather in my research, here are the main types of people that fraud is focused on:

1. solitary elderly and other groups: men looking for companionship and elderly are believed to be especially vulnerable to scams. They are believed to be soft in heart and willing to part with your money in exchange for romantic affection and attention.

Other groups of people loners are also a target.His loneliness makes them need some form of company, which cannot be readily available around in your immediate environment and that the scammers provide promptly.

2. Separated women, women recently divorced and similar are easy targets of scammers. the trauma of his divorce or separation makes you vulnerable to online scams.The scammers hunt in various online dating sites for women like these.

3. people of overweight: these are people set about the easiest way to the destination and fraud, according to the scammers. it seems that some people with overweight need someone to admire them and love them as they are.

And it also appears that some of them are emotionally insecure. and it seems that, as a result of this, some obese women seem to do anything holding on to a man, even if they don't know if it is real. it seems that he is her feeling of insecurity and its need for acceptance that often is exploited to get their money.

4. People Looking For Sex: many adult sites are a special target of scammers. scammers show naked photos of themselves and engage in sexual acts with the persons who are in the site.

Generally, people deceived through adult sites never reveal that they were wrong or keep their losses themselves. all interviewed who lost money for fraud through this medium refused to give numbers ofpeople scams as they were living with AIDS and differently abled people are also a target the blows.

This is not an exhaustive list of those being targeted by fraud. These happen to be the most popular target of scammers.

The best way to deal with online dating scams or romance is how the scammers operate and be wise as to his ways. educate yourself about these scams helps you learn how to prevent this from happening to you.
