So I guess the new thing is online dating scams. I'd really like to get into this as it seems to suit my strengths. I'm very personable and older women tend to love me. This seems like easy money but I want to know if you know how reliable this scam tends to work?

Yes, online dating scams are a hot commodity these days. Scammers often target older women by creating a fictitious profile and slowly building a romantic relationship over a period of time. They usually make it seem like they are living abroad or have an emergency that keeps them from meeting in person. After a period of time, they request money, often citing an emergency of some sort. The scammers are often quite successful in convincing their victims to send money. You should do your due diligence and research the scammers profile and any other related links they send you. Most companies that provide dating services will have an escrow-like system that allows the victim to send money but only to the person they are having the relationship with; not some third party scammer. Make sure your personal information is secure and never trust any person or company that encourages you to send money. If a situation seems too good to be true, it probably is.
