10:26 am	Tips To Help You Spot And Avoid Online Dating Scams A friend of mine recently experienced a scammer's attempt to get into his wallet. I warned him of the danger, but he wanted his new girl to be real, so he was willing to remain optimistic through the entire process. Through the entire process, my friend would call and ask what I thought of his interactions for that day. I tried not to be too critical of his potential new love, but I frequently cautioned him to look for red flags in her story. * Declarations of Love after only a few emails. When someone declares their undying love after only a few emails and before you have met them in person, the most impressive of red flags should be triggered. There are only two types of people who declare love, without first meeting you in person: 1] desperate stalkers (do you remember the movie, Fatal Attraction), or 2] scammers. * They Are Out-of-Country - They may say they are from the United States, but for whatever reason, they are outside the country currently. This is the first signal of their upcoming bait-and-hook strategy. What this generally leads to is a suggestion that they do not have the money to come home and they need your assistance to pay for their flight; or in one conversation I was involved, her U.S. babysitter is demanding money to pay for babysitting services for her young child. If you send them the money, they will lose it, or the money will be stolen from them, and they will need more so that they can get back home to you. * They Dodge Personal Questions - They always seem distracted or dim-witted when you ask them questions. Nine times in ten, they will never answer a question you asked. If you are wondering what is up, keep asking questions. This is important, and it takes us to our next red flag. * Look For Inconsistencies In Their Story - My friend finally caught the red flag when his girl, who had already explained that both of her parents had died in a car wreck four years before, slipped up. She said the reason that she chose to go to college in Nigeria (go figure) was that her dad "owns" a business there. (Which dad Her dead one) * Bad Grammar and Spelling - Don't get me wrong. There are plenty of people here in the U.S., who don't spell so hot. But those who are in the States will mask their poor spelling and grammar with plenty of abbreviations: LOL (Laughing Out Loud), BRB (Be Right Back), TTYL (Talk To You Later), CYA (See Ya), ROFLOL (Rolling On the Floor Laughing Out Loud), and WTF (What The ... you know). Foreigners don't know these keyboard shortcuts, nor would they understand why they would be used. * Lackluster Photographs - Frequently they show pictures with little or no quality, pictures that are hard to see. Some will actually have two or three good quality pics, but not more. (This isn't a perfect catch, since I only have two photos, one of which is from a professional photo place.) But, as has been pointed out many times before, the scammers will NEVER have a photo with their friends. If the scammer sends you a small photo, ask for a bigger copy. The scammer will not be able to produce one. (This is an area where my own photos can be seen to be real, as I can produce all my photos in their original monster-size.) * Lack of Local Knowledge - When my friend found his girl, she claimed to have been from a town only 15 miles from his home. Even if he had never been to her town, he could go to Google to find some information about her town (which he did). When they are from your town, you can ask them about favorite restaurants or party places. Fahnen Don't be afraid to test them by asking about something that you know does not exist. If they claim knowledge of what you know does not exist, then you will have received a super huge red flag. * They Have No Family - This is frequently a hook for gaining your sympathy. Sometimes it might be true, we do know of people who have lost their whole families. But if they volunteer the information, without your first asking, then you definitely need to red flag that contact, and start looking for other red flags. Many of these red flag items should not be viewed as absolute signals of a fraudulent flirt. But, when red flags start piling up, you should be fully aware of the very real potential of someone trying to scam you. If you see any of these red flags, but you wish to remain optimistic, figure out what you think the bait-and-hook will be, and then make sure that you don't fall for it when it comes to you. If an online lover requires you to spend money or give them money, then you need to notify the dating website where you met this person, so that the dating website can kick that person off the website. My friend was seeing red flags left and right, and yet he desired to remain positive. I told him what the bait-and-hook would be, and he continued forward optimistically. Then on a lark, he put a sentence from his lover's first email into Google and discovered a word-for-word documentation of all of the emails he received from his girl on a website called: Romance Scam dot com. My friend did not have to play the game until the bait-and-hook was offered. Instead, he was able to see well ahead of that play that his girl was sending him a series of form letters that she (or he) uses with many potential marks. Fortunately, my friend was able to see the light before his phony girl got into his wallet. And hopefully, since you have now read this article and you are now aware of what is going on out there in the online dating world, you will not get taken to the cleaners either.

4:35 pm	State Banners & Flag Poles Alabama The Alabama state flag is one of the more interesting flags out there, if you would ask me. Attached and hoisted on flag poles of all kinds throughout the United States, this flag can (obviously) be observed all over the state of Alabama. One of many U Kompaniefahne. S. historical flags, this flag features the "Crimson Cross" of the Saint Andrew on top of a white field. The Crimson Cross is considered a diagonal cross, known in the world of flag poles and historic flags as a "saltire." Since law designates the bars to be at least 6 inches wide, smaller banners and flags that feature the red colored saltire do not live up to the legal specifics. Considered being on of the older state banners, the Alabama state flag is more than 100 years old. This flag was adopted on November 13th, in 1895. Before official adoption of the current state flag, the state of Alabama used to fly another representing banner from poles of all kinds, including wooden flag poles. Unlike the current design, the so called 1861 flag had a blue colored field and displayed two different designs on the obverse and reverse side of the flag. Created by a group of women at the time, the flag was eventually sent to the state's office in February of 1861. Because of sever weather the then Alabama state flag was damaged and never hoisted on a flag pole again. There is not surprise that some controversy remains in existence about this particular state banner. Some professionals have claimed that the current flag-design is based on the well known "Battle Flag," and hence it should be square in terms of proportions. Even though it is not, and in publications of all kinds, the Alabama state flag has been shown squared. Gemeindefahne Interestingly, U. S. publications have even done the same! Like other countries, territories and states, the respective governor of Alabama flies a variant of the state banner. The differences between the two include the use of the coat of arms in the top saltire and the use of state military crest in the bottom saltire. This particular flag is referred to officially as the "standard of the governor of Alabama." Historical banners and flags are attached to all kinds of aluminum flagpoles throughout our nation. The Alabama state flag is made available by resellers in and outside of our country. Adopted back in 1895, Alabama was admitted to the Union back in 1819. Current Mood: drained (Comment on this)
