Scammers are often men pretending to be women seeking love. They will write sweet emails saying how much in love they are and how much they want to meet you in real life. Look out for generic sounding messages, lazy profile entries that repeat the same words over again and any other suspicious signs. NEVER EVER GIVE MONEY or personal details to a stranger.
