Notice the intro: "Hello Dear."
They like to call people "Dear" and "Dearest"

Thank you for your note WYOJET.

These letters that I've posted are all from real scammers.

They all have red flags. These are all things to watch for.

It does not mean that everytime someone uses the word "dear" or fails to use a Capital "I" that they are a scammer. It simply gives us some things to watch for in order to identify real scammers.

Nearly ever scammer out there sends messages that include these red flags. Nearly 100% of them.

Is Dear So and So different than Hello Dear?  Gee I certainly hope so, cause I say Dear So and So all the time.  Maybe I am getting OLD!!!!

AND...scammers not only use the term of endearment, but they also act as though they are already in love with you, that they have looked at many profiles, and yours just "blew them away".

and they IMMEDIATELY want to communicate personally instead of thru the site.
