    The scam artists are close to 50% of the assholes that contact me. The other 50%, are mostly my sex buddies.
    These people repeat the same story, use the same photos. I used to drag them along going with their sad story until I couldn't go any farther. I'm guessing you can't do anything until it is real in your eyes, even though we can spit them within a few words.
    So, we click on the "report" the jerk, then it makes us feel stupid because we have no idea how to create a log of our conversation,,,, perhaps that could be automated, since I've now dumped the idea knowing I can't supply you with the information you need..... And then, guess what - - the next two messages are just more crap.
    Right now, they want your phone number, hoping they can request a PiN from Tinder for who knows what. They got smart last year when they created some websites that look pretty good. The lure is the hot masseuse with incredible low prices just for you. A simple $3 registration fee online will get you laid for days.
    As soon as you book your appointment don't forget to call your bank also, because the card number you just entered is charging computers, stereos, hookers, whatever they want. Because your $3 transaction is how the really screwed you.
    Perhaps a pop up?? I really don't know, but if you entered something like
    Scammer Alert
    Why are you giving your phone number to that hot guy online who said he just wanted to make sure you are real. Yea, he's trying to get in your pants but he only wants your wallet. Perhaps it's something short, sweet, and catchy.
    Thank you for listening,
