1. Most of them are actually from Africa, but they would tell you they are African Americans from the US. For some odd reasons, they got stuck in Africa, and require your urgent assistance. If you help them, they will repay you handsomely.
2. Another excuse is that they are representatives of some hotel, travel or cruising company, and they are hiring people from everywhere. Obviously, those are employment scams.
3. They emphasize colour, age, and distance are not important, and they like to describe themselves as kind, honest, and God fearing people. Their age preferences are usually set as 18-99, they simply don't care how old you are.
4. Usually they are too lazy to write their profile descriptions, they just copy and paste some words repetitively, e.g. they write "im nice and good looking" a few times.
5. Once they get approved, they message everybody like crazy. Sometimes, they don't read, as soon as they find a form such as a contact form, they copy and paste their scam message.
6. Most pretty sexy female members are actually ewhorers. As soon as they give you a dating site / webcam / chatroom link, you know they are affiliates who only want to earn some commission.
Nevertheless, it is quite fun to run a dating site. Just leave it running and put up some dating ads, that's some small passive income.
