1.) Watch out on the first email that it looks like it is a generic email that may have been sent to hundreds of others trying to fish for a unsuspecting subject for their scam. Make sure that it seems like the first contact starts like they took time to write it like they are sincer in meeting a new person like yourself.

2.) In chatting or emailing someone the first few times make sure that they are not evasive in answering some of your questions. If they seem to answer questions generically or evasively then they may be trying to hide something from you right of the bat.

3.) Red flags should start flying if the subject of finances comes up as no one should be asking this when looking for friendship or a partner when starting out. If they keep persisting then you know that this is a strong motive for them to get your financial data or scam you out of your money- stop contacting this person right away!

4.) And I hate to state this, but if you are average looking and the person who has contacted you posts a picture of themselves and is very beautiful, then they may be using a generic picture of someone online.
