They are in some type of construction and thats why they are in Ghana on a short term contract LOL which never ends or they cant get their money, so they ask you to send them money to get there tickets back to the states, lol who would be that stupid, Im sure there is someone who is that lonely that they fall for all the sweet things that they are looking to hear. Most of them have a child and they use this child to draw you in. Then they start asking for lap tops, playstations, games, telephones, etc. The reason I know all this, my friend from work fell into this and I tried to tell her from the beginning but after thousands of dollars, she realized he wasnt real and that he would never be coming back to Calif.

I have noticed on almost all the sites, half or more are fakes and scammers. Am debating whether to join this site or not. Haven't found anyone who is interested in a 65 year old. I thought 60 was the new 40, I guess 65 is the new 100.lol. May the LORD bless you and keep you in his arms.

Linda (pleased to meet you, by the way ), what you just described is "classic" textbook Scammer behaviour: male or female, the move is the same. Lose this "gentleman" and report him to the administrators as soon as possible.

Thank you for your comment. I am not sure if I am being approached by a scammer but a person that I have been writing to has recently ask me to help financially and we have not even met yet. I told him no but if he continues I am going to report him.

I've found that the following two things should immediately raise Red Flags when beginning a dialog with a supposedly interested party: 1) Generic answers to Specific Questions: One of the first things I ask of person is just what it was in my profile that appealed or applied to them (I even tell them to do that in my actual ad). I've found that doing so greatly aids in determining if the person responding and I have similar goals here on InterracialMatch.com. If one of you is a paying member, if costs nothing for the person to respond fully to a clearly-presented question here on IMC. My experience has been that those who don't do that, but instead merely parrot whatever their own profile has in it either hasn't actually read your profile at all or doesn't regard what you have therein as important enough to address. In both instances, little good tends to come of that. 2) The "person" immediately wants to move the chat to another venue (say, "Y.hoo"): With the many improvements here on IMC, nowadays, it certainly doesn't hurt to begin a discussion by utilizing Chat thru this site first. A couple of chats here before moving offsite has done wonders to get a good feel for the person you're chatting with and weed out those of dubious intent. Spammers they tend to go for volume, so they'll quickly move onto easier prey Moreoften than not, you'll find both of the above presented within the very same mailing. I hope these observations can be of use to all here who're actually onsite to make a meaningful, eventually tangibleconnection.

I agree with justme1956. I'm an on/off again user of these services and scammers are especially high in numbers these days. For women, if they say they are widowed that's a signal to be at least cautious...
