Online Dating: New in Town

Online Dating: How the New in Town Scam Works:

You get the following email or a Facebook message with the subject “New in Town”: “Hi! My name is Jennifer Smith. I’m new in town. I just moved here from Colorado. I saw that we live close to each other and I was hoping to chat, or maybe you could show me around town. I just made a new profile with pics. The link is below. Hope to hear from you! =)”

It sounds like a nice email, and she might be attractive, but most of the time, these emails are from escorts. You will likely end up paying a fortune to hang out with this person for just one night.

How to Avoid the New In Town Scam:

If you receive a message like this, delete it. If somebody is new in town and looking for friends, does she have to set up a website with barely legal pictures (sometimes not even)?
