There is a decent answer to most common scams targeting older ladies looking for younger men, but it needs a caveat first.
Nobody warns you that common scams depend so heavily on keeping things private. If the success side isn't sorted, common scams will not go anywhere.
What I actually do about common scams:
- fill the profile out properly, not half way specifically for common scams
- rewrite your opener if nothing lands in a week when it comes to common scams
- set aside two weeks before deciding anything about common scams
- set aside a couple of weekends before deciding anything about common scams
If how much to share early on isn't sorted, common scams will not go anywhere. Take that as one data point on most common scams targeting older ladies looking for younger men, not gospel.
I still keep an account on Datewander lately purely for common scams.
