Honestly they are very few and far between as this site has actually done an amazing job out keeping the bot camspam off this site!

I do agree this site is pretty on the ball

but; I think the info is still good as - some other sites aren't, and there are some who slip the net.

Specifically on this site when they ask for your email straight away, or want to send photos to your email, and usually chat away from site early doors. They are often expecting a ban.

I like to ask them probing and tricky questions straight away, customised to each potential scammer situation. Every one is different. Some of them are not even good at it. Others you can't really sufficiently or evidently prove they are scamming but you feel the vibe and have an instinct, trust your instinct.

On any ODS, when they are abnormally enthusiastically into me and I'm apparently being worshipped, its actually always a scammer in my experience. As nice as it may for the ego very briefly, my first real thought is this has to be a scammer.

Sadly I feel I have got quite good at detecting scammers, had too much practice. I just accept it's part of ODS territory now.

So far I had 3 women well I think they were women try to scam me out of *** on here by having me go to another site or just right out ask me to pay for sex on here so I'm very careful anymore

Here are some ways I expose scammers

1) Use Tineye or Yandex to reverse image search. I find a lot turn up from porn, celeb Instagrams or other dating sites but with different location, name etc.

2) Look for odd English, e.g. constantly calling you "My dear"
3) Mention something about their supposed location that is obvioulsy false to see how they react, e.g. You're from xyz? Oh, I went there once, I loved walking by the canals (there aren't any). 

4) Request a very specific selfie that can't be found on the net

is 'my dear' odd English, it is old fashioned in some cases, but its also standard usage in some parts of UK, its also quite comment in male maid scenarios,

I must admit to using 'odd English' quite a bit like shugah or hunni but that's cos I'm in role, watched too many movies where that's how the hookers talk lol, but I'm not scamming

I did know someone IRL who would address me as "My dear" - buuut

this ties in with something I've said about patterned behaviour and if someone gets a message from an attractive looking lady that starts "How are you my dear?" you know it is very likely to be a scam

I was born and bred there. No, this one ended almost every sentence with 'my dear'.
