Dating Scams Exposed - Example: Hannah Daniel

Example of a Dating Scam Email

Hannah Daniel, sends you a Nigerian Scam Email via a Dating Website

Hannah Daniel is another example of a dating scam. It's the traditional Advance fee Fraud, just send via a dating website. If you are active on online dating websites, or via classifieds, chat rooms and forums, beware.  Some reports indicate that as much as 30% of the personalities are scams:

  • either scammers set out to part you from your money;
  • fake profiles intended to redirect you to another website (porn, gambling or even another dating website); or
  • real people looking to date... but they are not who they claim to be!

Even the biggest and oldest dating websites, such as Match.com, eHarmoney, AOL, etc., are not immune to scammers. Dating has changed since the advent of the internet and you have to be knowledgeable and have you guard up to find true love, instead of a real scam!

Here is one report of a scam email. See this page for more examples.

What can you do to avoid being scammed on dating websites

Scammers are present everywhere on the dating websites. Even if you use established dating websites, like Match.com, eHarmony, etc., and even the women say they live in your own country, you may be scammed.

Before you invest your emotions into a long distance relationship, compare what they say against common sense.  Someone who claims to be in love without, sight unseen, never having met you in person, is mostly a scammer or simply unbalanced.

Apply the same common sense rules of safe dating online as you would in person.
