You, and KaKa. Or Pete. That one of the latter two who has a siggyline like "In my opinion, every bait should be posted on a public antiscam board like RS, too, this will not harm your bait." But mostly it was you.
Please try your best to block ALL your scammer´s still incoming messages and calls!

I was baited here by the two guys up above, and few others who will remain nameless. These guys were the main instigators. :)

I should add my own story as well. I was asked to come here by a forum member to offer up a second opinion on a scammer someone had posted. He's still here and posts on occasion, but is pretty busy these days with his own site called dragonladies.org that does the same thing we do, but specialises in Pinay scammers.

Someone I didn't know told me that she had just seen a program on tv that sounded just like the 'plight my bf was suffering'.
Help us keep scammers stupid Post his details here to warn others, then walk away without explanation. Confrontation alerts scammers & makes them change their identities...which makes all your hard work outdated. It messes with their minds if they don't know why you walked away.

The pre-Crimble spirit and the "brilliantly effective" dental plan lured/allured me.

I was taking a brief break from tomb-raiding, my butler, as is his wont, suggested broadening my repertoire.

Please excuse me - it appears those silly magazine interviewers have blundered/trespassed onto my estates - again!!!

Curiosity and Boredom brought me here in 2007. Before I was working "in the wild" for one year. I was never scammed before. So, to "work" here is for me just Fun and Entertainment.....when it helps other, its a good side effect.
I've learned to keep quiet on the Beginning and to learn here from the Best (Kaka; Marisa, Skeet, Gigs, Pete, PaddyFields and all the other from our famous "Submarine-Crew".

I think it was a cross reference, when I made my complaint with IC3 center. A few days I "sneaked" on your webside around, like a cat, until I was convinced, that is it.

This post was hard to me (within 60 minutes!!), FrumpyBB and SlapHappy had their loving work with me! I already knew two months of the fraud attempt, nothing happened to me, it just turned for the better, if I`m honest.

I`m fine, and so does the motivation will also succeed many things. I am glad, being able to support others in helping victims.

I'm usually a person who tries to take the positives from something negative. So naturally, after being faked/scammed, I took a day or two to regroup my thoughts and redirect my anger. Decided to redirect it the most constructive way possible--to post on here about my Scammer.

I had originally found the site because I was trying to figure out what I needed to do to protect myself (I didn't want to do anything stupid) and a couple days later, I wrote about my encounter. Then I fell in love with this place because it is very helpful in calming the nerves of many who have been abruptly disappointed and even shamed.

It's been good therapy and I hope to turn my experience into something worthwhile so that I didn't suffer for nothing. "No pain, no gain" right? Plus, I'm a smarter gal now... knowing a bit more about email IP addresses, faking video chats, common habits of scammers, etc. I have always been a cautious girl but now I know what to look for thanks to RS. :applause:

As I were scammed, I googled the address of the "shipping company" and I found a blog about parcel scams with exactly this address. And there was the link to romance scam :)
