Think of this as a public service question.
Go to " match.com ", Do a search, man seeking woman within 1000 miles of your zip code and specify women between 25 and 30.
I just did this and looked at the results. Almost a full third listed are scammers. After I noticed the 1st few, it's easy to do, the ones who are in their 20's, look like models, and are looking for men 30-50.
After searching just 5 pages, I found 3 profiles with different names to the same picture, and a bunch using the same lines with different names and pictures.
I started saving information on them and quickly realized there are way to many for me to even get started on to check out and report.
I was just thinking that a good way to mess them up would be for hundreds of people (you people reading this), who are already on to their scam from the start to send them mail and keep them busy writing to you so their efforts are useless.
I will add some of the screen names I have found so far later.

Guys, I'm trying to save you some money just in case you ever started talking to any of these people.
Check out Russian-detective.com and a lot of these pictures show up for known scammers. Also some of the phrases they use will turn up on a web search and take you to other scam websites where they have already been reported.
Some of these pictures are even known to be men using models pictures.
I posted this question so that anyone here who might be on match.com might avoid getting ripped off.
If you had actually done the search instead of reponding with a smart*** answer you would understand that.

Well, thanks for the heads up. I feel better being in the know.
A lot of us would have been left out of the loop if you hadn't of brought this to our attention.
Way to go ...you're the man!

Anybody who goes to ANY site searching for men or women have no way of knowing if they are who they say they are. You would be shocked to know how many lie; that's why those who really want to meet people and use the web need to know they are "playing with fire." I do know people who have even married people from the web and it's been successful but the horror stories are far greater. By the time you would harrass the girls who are scamming there will be thousands more and there's not enough of you to stop them all. It's like drug dealers; when one goes to prison, there's millions to take their place. People can't stop these people unless they stop frequenting their site. Sounds like you need a hobby or a life away from trying to stop the millions from scamming others. It's just wasted energy.
