How to detect dating scam / fraud?
Yes, one of the main problems on free dating sites such as OneLoveNet.com is that many scammers are using them. Although we use a number of automatic and manual methods to block and delete these scams our methods can never be 100% safe.
A dating scam usually involves the following steps:
- The scammer posts an attractive photo (such as attractive professional fotomodel photo) and fake profile on a dating website.
- The scammer sends the same message to many members. In this message the scammer usually express his / her interest in the member and provides a freemail address (yahoo or hotmail) and prefers to continue the discussion by email.
- If the scammer gets replies, he/she will present stories (a relative died, he / she was travelling and his / her pocket was stolen, etc.) and will claim how bad his/her current situation is and needs help and support to overcome it in some way. The story is usually very emotional and will easily gain sympathy and affection from the victim.
- No matter what the story is, after a short or long period of establishing trust and desire, the scammer will ask for money to be sent by Western Union, Monegram, cash money orders, send merchandise, etc..
Never send any money to someone you met on the Internet! If you suspect that a member’s profile is fake please imediatelly use the Admin Alert function we have on all profiles, we will investigate and take the required steps to delete / block the profile in question.
Being the fastest growing free dating site, our job, to reveiew all accounts are getting harder, day after day, this is why we always need your help and support to stop or at least minimize dating scam on our website.

Here is more about me and what i need from a
relationship..
I’m a touchy-feely type of woman Im 5′4tall, 145lbs,
eyes brown , hair black….I like to kiss and hug, and
cuddle, but I won’t smother you… lol I’m an honest,
thoughtful, caring, clean, independent, fun, one man
woman. Full of energy I like dancing to the oldies or
country music, walking on the beach & boardwalk, going
to the theater, traveling, roller coasters, horseback
riding, dining in or out, or just working around the
house.I’m in a position to go anywhere, so distance is
no problem.I hope to find love and I don’t mind
working for the right relationship, but it takes two.
I have nothing against bars I just don’t see the
attraction. I prefer to be on the beach, fishing or
talking with you about the seashells you found or the
fish you caught that was bigger than mine.The key to
my heart will be the man who wants to be close to me,
holding hands, hugging, spending OUR time together
doing the things we both
like to do, like seeing a good movie, working out, or
just sitting at home nestled in front of a tv on a
cold winter nite. A man with some energy, not a couch
potato. He needs to be a well groomed, thoughtful,
caring, a happy with himself man, that likes to talk
as well as listen, who wants a friend that leads to
love, that accepts as well as gives. One who wants
only one woman in his arms. I’ll be faithful to you,
and there when you need an ear that listens. Kissing
you when you least expect it. I need 1: Caring, loyal,
loving and honest, a man to share the good and the
bad, the sweet and the sour. I don’t have delusions of
perfection but there is a large area in the middle of
the road that is big enough for the two of us to be.
The man I am looking for may have children or
not…2:Someone who has their own dreams and their own
goals but wants to share them 3:Someone who believes
in the power of friendship and that, like anything
else, friendships require work and
understanding,honest, loyal, faithful, understanding,
caring person for friendship and or marriage. they
must have a sense of humor and who is out going.
4:Someone who believes in giving a person the benefit
of a doubt5:Someone who can share their world without
losing their identity.
I was married but i was a fool falling in love but i have learnt
to pick up the broken pieces of my heart and moved on…i dont
wanna be a fool falling in love anymore…i do wish to meet someone i think
i can love and love right….i will like to know more about you I am into sales sell leather goods shoes etc,but i am thinking of getting a new job as soon as i get back to the states..I am from Moody Alabama ..moody is north east of Alabama..a small town though and new there as well but im presently Nigeria for the just concluded burial of my mom really sucks to loose ones mom but im trying to get over it..tell me more about you..hope to hear from you soon
Love always
