First, you may want to ask yourself how you can avoid becoming a victim of the Internet's transgender dating scam. We've provided some warning signs to help you become more alert and ready for someone to try to take advantage of you, so read on.
Notice the difference in your email
Have you ever exchanged an email with someone on a trans dating site and wondered if the same person was replying to your email every time? Maybe you've decided that someone at the other end of the email really needs to use spell checking! Although neither of these problems are Internet transgender dating scams, because they can't spell or understand grammar. English may not be their mother tongue, which leads to grammar and spelling problems. On the other hand, if the following email differences suddenly appear in your communication process, this may be an online ts dating scam.
Pay attention to other people's Reactions
Someone who sends you an email and seems to be totally focused on you is really great for a person's self-esteem. This is usually a positive sign that the person at the other end of the email is really interested in you and wants to take the time to get to know who you are. In other words, don't let your guard down and let yourself get out of control. If this alleged interest never provides any information about themselves, they won't respond personally to your email, or they'll change the subject every time they contact, which should be alarming. Your email should have an appropriate response, which is important to determine whether this person is really interested in you or whether this is an online transgender dating scam. Many scammers simply copy and paste responses from Outlines or scripts, which is very superficial! Ask yourself if the emails express genuine interest in you, or if they ask inappropriate questions that have nothing to do with them.
If they want cash or checks, be careful
Almost all single people, at some point, meet someone from an online trans or shemale dating site, and they start asking you for money, and it's a big problem. If someone asks you for cash, check or money order, it's just a scam. Stories can have many different aspects, their mothers need surgery, they need to pay for passports to visit you, and so on. Bottom line, this is theft, clear and simple.
Photos that look fake or completely unrealistic
Fraudsters on trans dating websites are notorious for using fake or unreal photos to attract people. If the pictures look real, chances are they are -- too good to be true. Yes, some people are very attractive on dating websites, you may be lucky to find a real partner, just be careful. For a simple test, if they have a dog or cat, ask them to send you a photo of them and their pet. Also, photos can be bought online, so you can look around to see if the photo was bought online or used on other dating sites, but with different names and profiles.
