Re: Scams and frauds

[(Anonymous)]

Had a credit card number stolen once (shouldn't have been using it over open wi-fi) and I was relieved to discover, when the bank showed us the list of fraudulent charges, that they included not one but TWO paid memberships to ChristianSingles.net, or some site like that.

See, having two separate paid accounts on a dating site means that you're up to no good. People who are just looking for love don't do that. Therefore, the person who stole the card number was almost definitely running an old con called the Lonely Hearts, where you get the mark to fall in love with you from a distance, then have them start sending you money. Choosing a Christians-only dating site lets you use classic affinity-group scam techniques, as well as preselecting for marks that have been trained to shut off their critical thinking when they hear certain words. And using a stolen card number to buy the memberships means that even if the mark wises up, there's no way they can get their money back because even if the site cooperates, everything traces back to a dead end.

In other words, I was relieved to see those charges because I'd been afraid that we'd been taken advantage of by some dimwitted 4chan script kiddie, but instead we'd been taken advantage of by a competent professional criminal. That's MUCH less embarrassing.
