Where does it come from?

Okay, so if you are a teenage lad from Kumasi, Ghana, where are you going to get photos of some gorgeous babe with which to scam money out of some FOBM (Fat Old Bald Man) on the internet?

Well, the Internet, obviously.  There's no shortage of pretty girls on the Internet.  If you are interested, you can do a search on their chosen photo using Google Image, and it will probably take you to some porn site.  I don't usually bother - because who cares where they get the pics from?


Madly, some of them use their regular profile, and just stick a couple of pretty girl pics at the top.  Scammers, if you are reading this, just don't bother - it's a huge red flag.

Others set up a brand new profile, blank except for a couple of pretty girl pics.  It's another red flag, I'm afraid, Mr Scammer.


Haha!  Was chatting with a scammer and she sent me a nude photo, as they do.  But forgot to crop the Janessa Brazil dot com link from the corner!  Obviously I realised that they were being harvested from porn somewhere ,😃. But I love to catch them out

I had a lovely one where the photo was sent twice, once with the Lingerie Catalog logo, once without.  I pretended not to notice.

Another used the name and photos of a gorgeous Swedish fitness model - lots of photos of pretty girl in yoga pants.  Usually they change the name to something wacky - this one kept the same name.

The only one that nearly fooled me was a picture of a normal girl - no skimpy outfit, no model girl looks.  She told me that she was Polish and worked as a cook at a US Army base in Wroclaw.

"Dobre dzien, jak sie masz?" I said.  (My Polish is limited to Hi, how are you).

"What?" she said

"Ha ha, where are you really from?"

And she blocked me. But is usually ends up with me reporting them to Facebook, and Facebook usually, not always, zaps them
