Spouse Working Late Again? Right!

Have you met someone online? Are you currently in a relationship with this person, or considering on traveling to meet them? Are you considering marriage or moving in with this person? If so, you probably need to hire a private investigator. If you let the relationship get to serious without checking them out, you risk being involved in a dating scam that may leave you heart broken and in financial ruin. Online scammers collect billions of dollars each year from people that are looking for a life partner or love online. We let our emotions blind us and through rationale thought out the window.

Often, matchmaking sites and agencies allow you to join
 for free. They usually do not screen their members. You are really rolling the dice when you see a picture of some beautiful man or woman. The photo just may be a con artist that has found the photo online to lure you into responding to them.  Some of the online scams that the Louisiana Investigators of Trinity Investigations are aware of consist of:

                                1. Prostitute Scams

2. Phone Scams

3. Travel Scams

Prostitutes: are straightforward and have found that they can solicit business in a safer environment online. They place their profile on dating sites to solicit business from lonely people looking for romance or sex. Most of the time, these sites are usually easily identified by their sleazy user names and steamy self-descriptions. They let you know up front  what they are after.

Phone Scams: usually you will get someone to ask you to call them because they are interested in your profile. When you receive your bill, you notice that it is for hundreds of dollars. (be wary when you call a 1-900 number)

Travel Scams: this person finds you very attractive or handsome. They want to meet with you to show their love for you, but they do not have the money to travel to you and they have some excuse as to why you can't come visit them. They ask you to send them hundreds or thousands of dollars to help them visit you.

How Can You Protect Yourself:

When viewing a profile, look out for things like a sleazy user name and a professionally done photograph. Sincere women usually do not use names like ms_pink_thing or sinfuly_delighful. Usually, most women that talk about loving sex or experimenting in bed are most likely not for real.

Read what the profile says. People that are looking to scam you will say most anything to get you to respond.

Men or women that talk about being rich, usually do not look online for love. If they do, they keep their wealth private.

If you decide to proceed, be very cautious. Do not let your emotions take over your common sense.

Long Distance + Request for Money = Scam
