How to Spot a CollarMe Scammer

14 07 2008

So I get back from visiting my girl, and I check my email this morning and I spot this gem in it.  I am sharing this with you so we can look for clues to spot an Collarme scam. (Just so you know, I really like CollarMe and I go there every day,  but I do see a lot of scammers there so consider this my being a good citizen part).

The first thing I look at is the height and weight. Many of the scammers are used to the metric system, and the numbers are often way off.  someone weighing 50lbs and standing at 5’6″ is way too thin for even my tastes.

But things look good so far. So lets look at the contents of the actual message.

Wow, where do I start. crazy punctuation, “5.7 fight”; “going true of it”, “does”, “honest to each other”,  and finally, she wants me to contact me through her email for a first contact.  Use your common sense, if it doesn’t look right, move on.  It is likely a scam.

Sir, surprised me with a visit this weekend :)   I had an absolutely fabulous time.  I have learned what it means when he says to me “just be”   That what we did…we hung out together…it was so normal and romantic and nice.   Then I had to drive him to the airport and that was an adventure in itself…lol…ny traffic is not for everyone.   

Thank you Sir.  I am very happy that you came. :D

i love you much
