I want to warn everyone of this individual going around looking for people to scam on l*****n dating sites such Plenty of fish aka POF. Even though i was contacted via this website, More then likely she is on others so i screenshotted her profile. Just to give an idea of what her profile may still look like. Earlier today this individual contacted me in my inbox with the opening message "Hey, Do you wanna make 3 grand?". She must be an amateur at this. Obviously, That alone told me she was trying to scam me. Never ran into one who hops right into it without engaging in regular conversation first.
I guess she thought i was going to just get exicited about the amount of money offered being that i am only 22 years old. Knowing it was a scam i still played along just to be sure or what scam she was attempting. So i can add it in my report. I replied " & How would i do that?". She answers asking do i have a bank account, what bank, and how long was it open. I answered yes and told her i have had Capital One for a year. She immediately replies okay and asks for my number. I then told her just to explain how what she does works.
She replies very stupidly, It's like i can tell she must of just started trying to do this scam. She had very little knowledge. She replied she had the "PROGRAM" banks use to do money transfer/wires into accounts. I am not the smartest of the bunch but i am pretty sure banks don't use a "PROGRAM". I said this to her and asked why would she be willing to do such thing for a stranger and what is required for her to complete this. She just laughed and stated she wanted to make money too. She kept insisting i give her my number so her 'brother' can call and explain to me what was required.
I insisted for her just to explain in the messages because i already knew of the scam. I just wanted to hear from the horses mouth. Once she replied stated they need to pick up my debit card, Information, And the money will appear in my account in the morning. I was ready to confront her. I replied promptly saying in other words you pickup my debit card and information, Deposit FAKE or stolen checks into my account, Withdraw the money before the check clears, And when the check bounces for being FRAUD, The money is long gone and i will be left to pay the negative amount of thousands of dollars. I will be held responsible because it is my account.
The bank will rule against me because my personal PIN and information were used. So they will put me at fault for giving this personal information away. I then said next step you will block me because i wasn't stupid enough to fall for this. I told them to get a real job and such morons they were. If you so called have a program to wire into accounts. Why would you need the actual card? Money transferring is done via the internet. Another red flag was how fast she answered once i finally replied an hour later. She answered in less then a minute. Scammers always show desperation and stupidity. Beware of this moron. She may get better over time.
