Well, it it's too good to be true, then it probably is.

The warning signs to be aware of:

1) Are you older than he is? A lot of women on here are older than the men they were talking too, and it's a major red flag.

2) Does he multiple dating profiles, multiple user accounts on facebook, myspace etc where he talks to other women?

3) Is he on-line at all times of the night local time?

4) Does he get mad, defensive or evasive when you ask probing questions?

Note--If a scammer knows you like them or have emotional attachment, they may even be brazen enough to end the relationship if you don't accommodate them.

5) Have you caught him in any lies?

6) Does he ask for money? Keep in mind....they will rarely ask directly. They'll usually come up with sad scenarios to entice to you to offer help.
