Do you realize a majority of the pictures used in internet Romance scams, are stolen?

Most of the pictures used in internet romance scams are stolen, and do not depict the person who is actually scamming you, or trying to!
Scammers steal pictures of anyone, from the internet. Pretty people, plain looking people, and sometimes even ugly people.
If you are serious about finding a new love, using online means, you must see a face on cam, and often. I'm always surprised when I talk to a scam victim who has been in 'love' with a set of stolen pictures for months, and sometimes, years, and never saw a face on live webcam!
I strongly suggest you limit your search to people who are willing and able to show a face on cam, and somewhat often. (Not just one time for a few seconds)
This will help you avoid a majority of the scams where the scammer is using stolen pictures, and occasionally, has a few seconds, or minutes, or recorded video of 'that' face, they can play over a webcam. (Making it appear that person is live, and on cam)
Google the email address, and other data they give you. (name, address, phone number)

Learn to use Google Image search! Check every picture your new friend uses, or sends you. Do you really want to waste time to find out later you have been chattting to a reported scammer, or somebody else using stolen pictures?
DO NOT CONFRONT THE SCAMMER IF YOU FIND INFORMATION THAT SHOWS WHO, and WHAT, they are!
You were already falling, at least partially, for the 'story' they tell. The scammers are somewhat adept at claiming THEY are the victim of identity fraud, also!
You are emotionally attached, they will push your buttons. I've seen too many victims WAFFLE, when sufficient evidence is right in front of them, they are being SCAMMED.
BREAK OFF CONTACT!
It's unlikely you will ever see any of your money back, regardless of what people will tell you. There are also many scams built around your hopes of getting some money back, or revenge on the scammer. You will often be contacted out of the blue by some fake police agency or entity who will claim they can prosecute the scammer, and possibly get some of your money back. This is a scam, and the person doing this is the same scammer you sent money to in the first place.
Don't be a fool!
DragonLadies.org is re-building the 'gallery' of female Asian scammer pictures.
Click here to visit the Dragonladies.org Gallery!
Viewing a large number of pictures like this in the hopes of seeing 'your' scammer is not very productive, but the gallery serves as a demonstration that many of the pictures are stolen, and many of the ladies online who ask for money, are not after love, but MONEY!
Don't send money! Real, decent ladies, will not ask. Don't be a sucker!

You never know what you'll run into on most dating sites!

Most dating sites do not check new members. You never know who, or what you'll run into. It's very easy to keep most scammers out of a site, but difficult to keep all out.
Scammers are constantly looking for ways to sneak into the few sites that try to keep them out. That is one reason I set up asianlonelyhearts.com, it lets me watch what they are up to, and look for new trends and techniques in romance scams from Asia.
We really need new, nice lady members at AsianLonelyHearts! We have many men looking for ladies, but few ladies for them to talk to. I watch for scammers of all types, so, Ladies, you are safe here, also. I don't want anyone who is serious about meeting a nice person to waste time on scammers or fakes. Please, give us a try.

Is a paid dating site any safer, or better?

I have extensive experience with internet romance scams, and familiar with the workings of many major, internet dating sites, both free, and paid.
I have found most paid dating sites are no safer than free ones.
The keys to a safe site are the willingness of the staff to check new profiles, monitor the site activity, and actually have some knowledge of internet romance scammers, modes, and traits.
While most sites will claim to be safe, they are not.
You always need to protect yourself from scammers, and not assume the site is making any real effort to keep scammers out. They don't!
Screening for scammers takes a modest amount of time, which most sites do not wish to spend.
I find it inexcusable that many sites simply do not care about the safety of the members.
There's no reason to have a site full of profiles with stolen pictures of celebrities, other than to play the members for suckers, and make money from them.
Maybe you are thinking 'this is a free site, how do they make money?'
If you notice on most dating sites, as well as other websites, there are various banner ads. These banner ads pay the site owner for clicks, and/or sales derived from a person clicking on the banner, and purchasing a product or service. This can be very lucrative if you have a high amount of traffic.
More traffic=more money
I have seen many large, dating sites that are full of fake profiles. Fake profiles of pretty people, generate more paying members, or traffic. More paying members, or more traffic=more money.
If the profile is truly fake, you will never get that person to respond to you.
If a profile using a stolen picture responds, or contacts you, you are generally in contact with a scammer!
There is a large network of 'paid' dating sites that have pages of pages of pretty, sexy ladies, all who are fake. A man will join, and get flooded with messages from sexy ladies. To reply to them, he has to pay for each message. The lady is totally fake, the purpose of the sites are to make money by these fake messages. Period. The people writing the messages, and pretending to be the pretty lady in the pictures, is actually a college student, male or female, or other person, making a living writing these messages....OR....the messages are actually 'pre-written'.
Most of us in Western countries would not want to make a living writing messages to lonely men for $1-2 dollars, each, but, for a person in a developing country, where a monthly income of $300 a month is a living wage, making money this way is attractive.
I strongly recommend you avoid most paid dating sites, even if you do not patronize my site.
What do you need to do to protect yourself on any dating site?
Never send money to somebody you only know from the internet, or phone calls!
Safeguard your personal data! (Full name, address, phone number, email account that is connected to your Facebook account, and/or you use for personal business, and family.)
Always expect to see 'that face' on webcam!
I'm always amazed that SCAM VICTIMS can go months or years, talking to a scammer, using stolen pictures, and never expect to see a live face on cam. They'll send thousands of dollars to fake people, and accept the various BS stories about 'No cam' the scammer gives.
If the person can get on the internet, they can use a cam. There are no valid excuses.
Seeing a face on cam is an important filtering tool you must learn to use.
If a person won't show a face on cam, and often, you need to assume they are fake, or hiding something. Be polite, but demand to see a face on cam.
Scammers will come up with many excuses, or ask you to send money to them so they can buy a cam.
Don't do it!
Be careful!

Why should I use a smaller dating site, that is monitored?

Many dating sites inflate the numbers of 'online members', to make the site appear to be busier. This is very common, and easy for the webmaster to do, via the site controls.
Ok, so the site looks 'busy', but in reality, there are much fewer, real people on the site, at that time.
Many dating sites also 'seed' the site with fake members, to make the site look more active, and busy.
Do you know if you want to start a new dating site, it is possible to BUY fake profiles, to 'seed' the site?
I've looked at, and been a member or hundreds of dating sites, either for research, and sometimes as a 'real' member.
Many people seem to be happy with the sites, including many 'paid' sites, that are full of profiles of pretty people, even when the profiles are fake. Wouldn't you rather be a member of a site which is full of real people, you may actually have a chance to talk to?
At AsianLonelyHearts.com, we will screen the new members for scammers, fakes, and 'problem' people, and monitor the activity on the site, without invading the privacy or security of the real people who are members.
I will take the time to do this, which will also mean the site will be slower to grow than most dating sites, and the site will never become a huge, mega site with hundreds of thousands of people, mostly who are fake.
I prefer my members to have a safe experience in internet dating and friendship, and not waste time on fake people or scammers.
