Think about it, you have never heard of this person but they are looking to get to know you better. Hey you might not even be a woman but the girl contacting you hopes you are lonely single guy. The following email is at least a bit clever as it mentions an online dating site as being the source of them finding your contact information but that too is a giveaway.

Like the email below some scammers will attach a photograph of a pretty girl who they are pretending to be. Don’t be fooled.

Most dating sites lock down personal information unless you freely give it. If you haven’t done that or are not even a member of a dating site then you should immediately discover that this email is an attempted scam. Do not respond no matter how lonely you are. If you are that lonely, sign up for a real dating site!

If you get the following or something similar it is an attempted scam. Do not respond, do not send personal information and most of all – never send money!
