Reader Feedback on "The Sweetheart Scammer"
I don't get it either. If the goal is to root out scammers, why spend so much time cultivating relationships with non-scammers?

Wow, really insightful...I'm always trying to get my single sister on those sites, and she always refuses because of potential "scammers".....,so I may just shut up now and resort to pawning her off on random blind dates. It's too bad Salvatore resigned, we need some good pilots in the air!

Great article! This actually happened to a friend of mine. I guess its becoming pretty common these days. Spread the word and put an end to these scams!

Never realized the sheer volume of scammers on these dating sites. I enjoyed the article, was an easy read and it had just the right touch of sarcasm. Good work!

Hey RD, I think the idea was just to attract as many people as possible. It also doesn't hurt the site's renewals to have "honest" members chatting with what they thought were hot singles...

I'm not sure I get it. If you were seeking out purveyers of fraud, shouldn't you have chosen a photo for your persona that is more Rush Limbaugh than Sean Connery?
