The true cost of fake love – online dating scams

The true cost of fake love – online dating scams

The true cost of fake love – online dating scams

We’d all like to think that it’s those ‘other people’ who get scammed out of their life savings, never us. The sad thing is that the people who lose money in these schemes think that too. No matter how smart we think we are, there’s a point for everyone where rhyme and reason are replaced by foolhardiness. Sadly, for some it costs them dear, as once again we highlight the true cost of fake love – online dating scams.

At the time of this story Suzanne Hardman was 58, a former Office Manager and recently divorced; she wasn’t a stupid woman by any means but she was lonely. Suzanne had been going through a rough time. It wasn’t enough that her marriage had ended after 29 years, but her parents had also recently passed away. Suzanne wanted a fresh start and decided that registering on popular online dating site match.com would be a great way to kick start the next stage in her life. She may have been lonely, but she wasn’t alone as was evident by the messages she soon received from all manner of suitors. One of the men who caught Suzanne’s eye was James Richards. He fitted Suzanne’s wish list perfectly; tall, good-looking, professional and successful. What’s not to like? Suzanne sent him a ‘wink’, match.com’s way of initiating contact.

James and Suzanne were soon conversing like a pair of teenagers. Initially their messages were confined to the site, but soon they progressed to external emails and telephone calls. They were getting on famously and found they had a number of things in common. They were both the only child of parents they had both recently lost. What were the chances! Unbeknown to Suzanne, her need to feel wanted was playing right into James’ hand. Unfortunately James didn’t have any hands because James didn’t actually exist. His profile seemed real enough, but only in the way anyone could join match.com and create a fictitious life story that could lure those looking for love. Yes, his photographs were real, his emails were real (despite the poor spelling and grammar) and the voice at the end of the telephone seemed very real indeed. However, none of them belonged to American-born James Richards from Portsmouth. He was a fabrication created by four UK-based, Nigerian-born scammers but they hadn’t finished with Suzanne just yet.

As their relationship blossomed, Suzanne was falling for James more everyday. His emails were regular and full of the sentiments she was hoping for. By her own admission they were a little gushing, but who doesn’t love a man with a sense of romance, however enthusiastic he appeared to be. Within his expressions of love, James started to plant the seeds of the scam by pulling on their shared pain. James’ parents had died (as had Suzanne’s) but, as James explained in numerous emails, their estate was trapped in bureaucratic limbo in India. He started to share his frustrations with Suzanne about how he was struggling to free up the huge amount of money he was inheriting. With all these problems, how could he possibly free up the time to meet Suzanne. The sooner he could get it resolved, the sooner they could get together.

Once the seed was planted, it start to grow roots. After exhausting all his options, he finally succumbed and asked Suzanne for the £700 he needed to release the funds. Now you wouldn’t give a relative stranger £700 would you? No. Suzanne wouldn’t either, but these scammers were smarter than that. The money needed to go through a solicitor, for Suzanne’s protection. In fact the law firm that James asked her to use was very real, so Suzanne’s suspicions were allayed. While the firm existed, the contact she spoke to every day to continually verify James’ expanding story didn’t work there, but how was she to know that. The first £700 wasn’t the last money that Suzanne sent him. Before long she’d sent James, via his ‘solicitor’, a total £174,000. Once she had sent the last penny she could, the solicitor had some bad news. James had gone missing. It was at this point that the penny dropped.

Suzanne contacted the police but the damage had been done. When her story appeared in her local newspaper, other people who had also been scammed and subject to dating scams in the same way came forward. Eventually the men behind this dating scam were brought to justice but sadly, they aren’t the only ones. Sites like Match.com are happy to take your money, but make no effort to verify the identity of those creating profiles. Suzanne and many people like her pay the price every week for this lack of care. How can so many profiles be faceless? There is another way and that way is www.searchmate.co.uk. We personally interview everyone who joins our service to ensure they are who they say they are.

We guarantee that the people you meet through Searchmate are real, genuine individuals who are, like you, looking for a real and potentially lasting relationship.  We care about our clients’ security and ofer a unique personal, private, matchmaking service and that’s the difference that brings people from online dating sites to us, in increasingly large numbers and we are proactive to ensure that none of the dating scams that are common on online dating, darken our doors.

Welcome to the future of dating – Searchmate Introductions, come and join us.

Make 2014 the Year you meet your perfect partner.

Make 2014 the Year you meet your perfect partner.

Have you been looking for a new partner, maybe tried dating but so far the right one has just not come along? Perhaps you have yet to look in the right place?

Finding your perfect partner is not as easy as it used to be when we were back in our school or university days. The world then may have seemed pretty well stocked with other singles who had similar tastes and aspirations to our own. However, as we move on through life our friends seem to pair up and if we find ourselves single again after a long relationship, everyone else in our social circle seems to be already one of a couple.

In fact the world has more single people than ever before but meeting them, and especially your perfect partner has become a little more complicated. If we drop into a bar to mingle (if we dare) it is likely that most of those there are already in a relationship. How many gorgeous women over 35 hang out in bars waiting for the right man to walk in? We know it is not many and even less chance of them being your perfect partner!

Busy lifestyles, demanding careers, family commitments – these factors can all make meeting the one we are hoping for more difficult. Internet dating provided a hoped for platform to help us widen our circle of contacts but it has also led to some serious cases of deception as well as often simply not working as a means to actually meeting others of the right calibre for a future relationship.

There is now a role more than ever before for trusted and well established dating agencies such as Searchmate. We support genuine singles in finding a suitable partner. After your joining interview with us your personal matchmaker will recommend others to you who have also been carefully interviewed and ID checked. Your matchmaker is more than just a name at our office – she is on hand to help you find the one you seek and can play a key role in making it happen for you.

Whether or not you have tried other means of meeting singles, if you want 2014 to be the year when it happens for you, please call us now and find out how we can help you meet your perfect partner.

Dating Success in London for Searchmate Introductions

Dating Success in London for Searchmate Introductions

This is wonderful story that I would like to share with anyone who is considering joining an Introductions Agency in the hope of finding true and lasting love. We have recently matched a couple in London who had already met in 2008, although this fact was unknown to us until they received each other’s profiles. Not only had they met previously they had enjoyed a relationship but, unfortunately, this broke down and they parted. Although they had remained in London their paths had not crossed for over 3 years.

The lady, I will call her Sarah although this is not her real name, was the first of the couple to become a member of Searchmate. Like all our members she received regular profiles of suitable gentlemen chosen by our experienced Matchmaker’s. Although Sarah agreed that they were all lovely men and very nice matches no-one was sufficiently special to go forward into a relationship with.

Then along came Ian who joined Searchmate, of course this is not his real name either, and he began to receive profiles. Again he had dates with several of the matches chosen for him but no-one was super special, until – one day, when making her regular searches, Victoria one of our most experienced Matchmakers was reviewing the profiles of Sarah and Ian and decided that theirs was a perfect match. When describing the person they were looking for they both fitted each other’s descriptions perfectly. The elements of their profiles suggested to her that this would be a really good match and she sent out the profiles both ways.

The first person to respond to us was Ian. He was very surprised to have received Sarah’s profile and wanted to make contact but felt rather awkward because of their previous relationship. He also admitted that he had been wrong to let Sarah disappear from his life. Fortunately Sarah was happy to speak to Ian again and they have now resumed their relationship which is going very well.

This would appear to be a relationship that was always meant to be. We are very proud to have been able to bring this couple together again and also exceedingly proud that we have proved that our matchmaking service works.

Congratulations to Sarah and Ian, we wish them every happiness in their new relationship and congratulations to Victoria for creating yet another Happy Couple.

Successful Dating for Attractive Professionals

Successful Dating for Attractive Professionals

Creating happy couples like James and Helen

A guide to successful dating for attractive professionals

A lovely man I shall call James (to respect his privacy) joined us as a client last autumn. We were absolutely delighted to offer him a membership as we knew from our experience, that the outcome for him through our services was so likely to be very good. He was in his early fifties, a graduate, tall, attractive, professional and above all, a really nice, genuine guy.

Like many of those who decide to join us, James had first tried internet dating. For him there had been no particularly horrendous experiences but a lot of his time had gone by and he was still single. He had viewed numerous profiles, (too many to count), and exchanged strings of messages with ladies who either turned out to be completely unsuitable or who looked initially quite promising but then for some reason disappeared into the ether of cyberspace.

James’ experience with online dating was not at all uncommon. He did meet some women but he was often surprised and very disappointed at how much they did not match their posted photo, (unfortunately they usually looked somewhat older and considerably heavier) and how often the date dragged on with no stimulating conversation to enjoy. He didn’t like to abandon a lady after initial impressions revealed they were never going to be a couple so he looked back on several evenings he would far sooner not have experienced.

James wanted only high quality introductions from us to meet likeminded, attractive, stimulating women who like himself, were genuinely looking for a warm and lasting relationship. We had lots of possible matches from which to select some very good introductions for him. That being the case we were delighted but not really surprised to hear that he and one of the ladies, we can call her Helen, who we had matched him with were still seeing each other. He emailed us over this weekend to say, ‘since we met in December we have been seeing each other continuously so you might say things have taken off! Without tempting fate, I think you can keep my file filed away!! Best wishes …’

We always love to hear from the many  happy couples that we help to create.

If you feel you are a similar man to James then call us today and let us help you to find a wonderful future partner.

Or if you are a woman looking for the right man, call us too – we have lots of good calibre nice men joining every week, one of whom could be your perfect future match.
