Scammers post profiles on dating websites to fish for victims. Upon finding victims scammers lure them to more private means of communication to allow for fraud to occur.
Some scammers use religious dating websites such as Christian sites, as the victims feel complacent, believing that the scammer has high moral values. [4][2]
Rhonda McGregor, an online moderator for the ROMANCE SCAMS Yahoo! group, stated that many romance scammers avoid answering personal questions and ask their victims many questions.
Narratives used to extract money from the victims of romantic scams include the following:
1. The scammer says that his or her boss paid the scammer in postal money orders. The scammer wants the mark to cash the scammer's money orders and then wire money to the scammer. The forged money orders leave the banks to incur debts against the victims.
2. The scammer says that he or she needs the mark to send money to pay for a passport. The scammer wants the mark to cash the scammer's money orders and then wire money to the scammer. The forged money orders leave the banks to incur debts against the victims.
3. The scammer says that he or she requires money for flights to the victim's country and somehow never comes, or says that he or she is being held against his or her will be immigration authorities, who demand bribes.
4. The scammer says that he or she is being held against her will for failure to pay a bill or requires money for hospital bills.
5. The scammer asks the victim to package goods sent from one address and send the goods to another address. The victim does not realize that the scammer set him or her as a part of a stolen goods distribution scheme. If police investigate the trail, the scammer's use of mules makes tracing of the scammer more difficult. In addition many businesses do not trust Nigerian addresses, so scammers use mules' United States addresses to give the businesses the impression that their transaction is domestic.
6. The scammer makes a proposal of marriage and needs the victim to send them the cash for the ticket. This is happening more out of the Ukraine now as the Federal Ahents begin to reel in Nigerian scammers.
