Hello all,
I have been on LoveMe for about two weeks now. Clearly, most of the girls are a scam - I would say 75%. But it also proves that the site itself is a 75% scam. Why do I know this?

First warning: A womans profile has only studio photos. Why is that? You have posted some good selfie shots yourself in two minutes. No make up or studio photos needed, right? An ordinary woman would of course present herself from her best side, but that only takes one, maybe two studio photos. The rest should be selfies she has taken herself. Compare it with Travelgirls.com. (however, most of the women there are prostitutes, but it´s still good selfies). We all understand eastern woman on dating sites are poor. But, come on, not owning a mobile with a camera (a computer however is not a common item in the east, could be borrowed to communicate)? Surely, "designed" profiles are a scam! The best example is Single-Baltic-Ladies, The worst criminal network ever.

Second warning: If she starts to send you letters with a lot of pictures attached. Why do you need more pictures of her, if you haven´t asked for it? An honest woman just writes you. Photos cost per picture to open. Now, you don´t have to buy them, but it´s still a trick to rip you off. Scam!

Third warning: On the profiles, you can see if the women have an e-mail address for sale. They don´t work! I have written to LoveMe and pointed out that a woman didn´t receive my mails and they did not respond. Scam!

Follow these steps:
1. Read the profile carefully and check the needed language skills. Search for a woman who speaks a language you both have in common. And watch out: A lot of women lie about their language skills. Love and understanding does NOT come out of long silences, translation computers or any interpreter. If you can´t communicate with her over the dinner table - forget the woman! This surely rules out 50% of all the eastern women on all of the dating sites. But it doesn´t cost you emotional heartache, money or energy. Besides, what kind of man are you to bring home a perfect stranger with HIV? You clearly don´t know who or what you are dealing with!

2. Ask the woman to verify her photos! But do it politely. This means, she has to take a selfie holding up a sign saying "Hi, I´m XX" and attach it in the next mail (of course you have to do that yourself, to show her respect). It costs you to open that one photo, but it´s a low cost. Also, it shows you that:
- The woman seem to understand your instructions as well as your intentions, so she understands your language.
- It may also prove that she is independant and is in no need of an interpreter.
- She probably owns a mobile phone and hopefully has easy access to a computer.

The scammers have clearly difficulties with arranging a verification of this kind, because it costs them time and effort. If the photos are delayed, the woman playes offended or stops to write you, you know. Scam!

Good luck. You´ll need it.

Good Guy
