Well-Informed,
The best way I have caught scamers is in gross inconsistencies between emails and phone conversations. If they can't remember what they sent you in an email two days before, look out. Intentional misdirection with talk of sex when asked pertinent questions, them getting frustrated by simple questions that shouldn't be so hard to answer. These are just a couple of ways I use to see what they are about. What ways have you found scamers?
MarkDY,
To tell you the truth an officer of mine spent two years in Ukraine on his LDS mission. He loved it and pointed me that way. He learned Russian in a little over six months and raves about how real and down to earth the women were, and how beautiful. I have used Mexican Cupid and it wasn't that great, plus I'm in Arizona and that's like taking sand to the beach. I will check out those sites for other counties though. Approximately how many girls did you scan through before finding the nice ones you did?
Winston,
I was not in the service but I am a correctional sergeant now. It is very hard to be a nice guy and a Sgt. its a fine line to walk. As for inmates, alot of them do like me. If you are fair yet firm it commands respect, and in prison all you truely have is respect. Being consistent and keeping your word are another couple things that are huge and will keep you out of trouble all the way around. Trust me, I'm way to nice in the free world.
Thank you all for the warm welcome and I look forward to learning more.
