A few months ago, I joined Match.com and would find some ad’s that “smelled funny.” The “supposed women” were not trying to direct me to another site to join so that they made money, but they usually were trying to get me to correspond with them outside of the personal ad site and through a yahoo, hotmail or aol account. They do this because they will get thrown off the personal ad site pretty soon.

But why??

I always suspected that I knew why, but watching a rerun special report on Identity thieves from MSNBC http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKCCIZQRg5U, put everything in perspective.

The short story, is that their are people out there in foreign countries who are trying to get American men and women to fall for them online. Once they have them “hooked” they get these people to play middlemen in illegal activities and ship stolen merchandise overseas.

So lets take a look at some clues that a woman’s personal ad profile may be fake.

1) The pictures are just to damn hot. I don’t consider myself a bad looking guy, but when I would get emails from women who were a 13 on a scale of 1-10, the red flag goes up. Interestingly, there seems to be shift where these fake profiles are moving away from using the non believable hot pics, to just regular pictures of everyday attractive women

2) Look at the age range guys- When a women lists 18-65 of the age of a man she is looking for, then something MAY be up.

3) Look at the height requirement the woman lists- If she has 3-0 to 7-11, this is another sign of a possible fake ad

4) Broken English, poor grammar- This alone can not indicate that an ad is fake, since there are some great ladies who are new to this country and are still learning English. However, if this red flag shows up in conjunction with 1-3 listed above, proceed at your own risk.

Personal ads can be a great way to meet someone special, but just be careful and if something seems to good to be true, then it probably is.
