orGAnised Scams

Scammers are very organised and tactical people and more often than not it is not the stories they fill you with that makes you fall into their trap it is their persistence. Once they hone in on a victime they stick like a leech and try every means possible to steal from you.

How they do this? This is what i plan to tell you, lets take a look into the scammers network.

Most scam artists work in teams numbering from 5 to 10. This team of scammers are usually working on 10 to 20 victims at once (could you, maybe, be one of them?). They have a hierarchy which begins with the lowest level , a YAHOO BOY/S. This yahoo boy sends out thousands of thousand of messages, winks, hugs, etc to unsuspecting victims. They steal pictures of beautiful girls or handsome men online and use it as their profile, then they wait for replies. When the replies come, they follow a script on how to reply to these victims, then they transfer 'the work' to someone more experienced in the team and more capable of carrying on their trickery with more skill. This skilled scammer gets you to trust him/her, love him/her and then comes up with a well made sob story to take your money.

It is just like sales, the yahoo boys do the cold calling. They hit up anyone and everyone they can and do not discriminate between old or young, male or female, rich or poor, Christian or not. It is simply a game of numbers. Once they get someone interested, that lead gets transferred to someone with better "closing skills". It's like having a manager take over to close the deal.

Just make sure they do not close the deal on you. Fall in love but be careful when doing it over the internet. There are people that will use that love to rob you blind, people pretending to be other people, people that would rod you of your love and make you feel dejected. Be careful and really know who it is you are communicating with. Read the other topics on my blog to know the signs of scammers and learn how to avoid and protect your heart.
