How to know whether my penpal is a fake person?
but i just want to know how to make sure?
my pen pal lives in brazil, so hes kind of poor and not as well off as i am, so he doesnt own a computer, he goes on at school.
we write to eachother often and also email if he cant afford to post a letter.
but he seems real because he has a lot of pictures of him and he has photos of him as a child. which he put on the penpal website.
so im confident he is who he says he is.
but how can i be certain?
thanks!
he uses his school computer, and i never really asked him about photos.
Do you understand what the pen-pal mean ?
Who is really care about it either fake or true .?
Pen pal is for someones we can talk too about grudge in our heart …..
As long as he didn’t mention about asking money that fine for me …..
Sympathy for them is right but asking about money that no way …..
I have meet a poor people only and asking me to donated money …
I ask him why you wanna the money for ?
He said wanna to buy some meat …
Then am buying the lunch for him ….
He throw it way went he get it ……
Certain about 1 person in pen pal ….
If he or she not asking for money you can trust him …..
That man to man / human heart hard to guess …..
Do you know how to check the header of a received email? If not, you could google for information. Being able to read the header to determine the geographic location an email originated from will help you weed out the most obvious scams and scammers. Then delete and block that scammer. Don’t bother to tell him that you know he is a scammer, it isn’t worth your effort. He has one job in life, convincing victims to send him their hard-earned cash.
Whenever suspicious or just plain curious, google everything, website addresses, names used, companies mentioned, phone numbers given, all email addresses, even sentences from the emails as you might be unpleasantly surprised at what you find already posted online. You can also post/ask here and every scam-warner-anti-fraud-busting site you can find before taking a chance and losing money to a scammer.
