I Need Your Advice Re: "Webcam Girl"...

[drlove]

I have a profile on an online dating website. A few days ago, I received a message from a college girl in the states claiming to be moving to my area in the next few weeks, and would like someone to show her around. She suggested that I contact her via e-mail at her hotmail account, which I did.

Here's the part I'm not sure about. I received a reply from her, stating that she had no way to get a photo to me, but that she had just set up a personal webcam. She said it cost a dollar for verification or whatever, and that we could talk on line through there. I know a lot of people do have their own cams and everything...however, the link she provided for her site kind of threw me. It's http://www.itsmycam.cjb.net When I clicked on it, it looked like a generic porn webcam page.

I thought it was just another scam to get people to sign up to a porn web site. I wrote her back, saying that I would have to pass on the cam, but I would still be interested in getting to know her if she was legit. I thought that would be the end of it, but to my surprise, she wrote me back tonight and suggested we talk on Messenger. So, what do you think, am I being played, or not??

Just chat with her and make your own best judgement - but if she has a cam she should be able to send a capture pic or 2

 

[CyberGoth]

get her to prove she is what and who she claims to be. shouldnt be difficult.

but it does smell a bit off... it might very well be an attempt to drive up someones traffic for a website.

things like that frequently

 

[Alucard]

She can use the cam to make a pic of herself
sounds like a SCAM to me

 

[Ophelia Black]

Yes. You are being played.

 

[drlove]

This is it... after I saw the $1 verification thing, I said no thanks, thinking that would be the end of it; so then, why did she offer to continue to chat, and say stuff like "let's get together for drinks sometime". Could it be something else?? I think she already knows she's not getting any $$$ out of me! I save that for the ladies on Terb!

 

[Alucard]

if you want to meet her then meet her just make sure you don't bring your credit card =P

 

[tboy]

well dr. love, sounds to me like you don't really want to take our advice so why not just give her your credit card number ? I mean , I've received hundreds of invites like this. If every woman who ever emailed me actually moved here the men/women ration would be a hell of a lot better than it is! lol

Trust us on this, it is a scam pure and simple. BTW what's your email address? I have some land in florida that I want to get rid of and I'm sure you'd be interested!

If you're not interested in the land, how about a bridge?

Yeah, I know I know, I am SUCH a smartass!

 

[drlove]

Yeah, I know I know, I am SUCH a smartass!

Yeah, you are! *lol*!

Now, all I have to do is see how much of "her" time I can waste by still pretending to be interested... ha!

 

[blofeld]

When you do meet her, remember to write it up just like ricahrgl!

 

[Ophelia Black]

She's just baiting the hook again. Trust me, she probably has a whole string of guys at various levels of confusion, and x% will ultimately give up a credit card number. It's strictly a numbers game - basically telemarketing online.

Ophelia Black is bang on DrLove. Watch yourself....

I lit a joint...we kissd for awile, i put her hand on my crotch...she pulled away, we kissed sum mor...I pulled out my cock started stroking it...she sucked it, I blu all over her face...I drov her home

 

[james t kirk]

scam meter is going off.

Yahoo has free webcam service i believe, or at least it used to be.

You could continue to chat with her via MSN, and see how it goes.

Just remember, until you physically MEET her in person and even then, it shouldn't involve money.

There's a million con "artists" out there.

 

[drlove]

I agree. My point is simply that I've already made it clear that I'm not into her webcam and she's not getting any $$$ from me. Therefore, if it is a scam, which I suspect it is, any further communication on her part would be a waste of time, correct??

Goober...

That Nigerian investment offer sounds like a sure thing.. you should go for it! Let me know how you make out... *LMFAO*
