just wondering if my betrothed is known under another guise.
Is there some sort of id parade, so I can check see if she's on there.

Blimey! There will be hundreds to look through. There is a search for looking at photos posted elsewhere OR post her here (observing the size limits) and we can say if we have seen her.

Oh, forgot to post the link to the site. Upload your picture to...

http://www.tineye.com/

That may show if it is stolen off the net.

You can also search for images on google now.

Just go to google and hit Images on the menu bar.

It is worthwhile to search both tineye and google as the catalogs are different. Of course there are still very large numbers of sites that aren't indexed, so results are hit or miss.

I've quick googled Google images, but can't see her.
I'm not sure after this mornings email, that the images are stolen, as she's sent me a very short MP4 referencing my made up name.
Oh and a very tasty bikini photo. yum yum.

I'm now getting a little worried, as it's getting personal Smile

You MAY have what we call "A live one". I.e. she is (or being made to) scam you by posing for pictures. How did you "meet"?

Perhaps PM me her email address so I can confirm if she is scamming byu how quickly she falls in love with me... which she will as I have all the patter...

I've only had the Vlads send me video or audio clips yet but the lads may be picking up on this also. They are starting to demand that we move to their beat. I've lost several after telling them I wasn't going to play that way.

If you use Firefox, there is a "Who stole my picture" add-on that has been very handy for me. It has Tineye, Google and a few other search engines you can check with by a simple right click.

I've decided, after the next batch of pictures, that I'm dropping my character, in favour of a new one on a gmail account. (Playing a bit safer).
I've already sent her a maggot from the new address, lets she if she bites.

Would the video, "Hello Kevin, A Kiss for You" class as a trophy.
I've only known her a week. Smile

There are real people on dating sites who are looking for a way out of their own country, and are perfectly willing to get married to find that way.

If she hasn't asked for money yet, you don't have evidence of false claims, and you can't tie photos or scripts to a scammer, technically, you can't really prove that she is a scammer.

With vlads, you also have a pro-dater category--these are real women, using real photos, who are fully prepared to meet the men with whom they are corresponding. In fact, they will often encourage the men to visit. The scammer will often set the man up with housing, taxis, etc.--but will have an arrangement with an accomplice by which they both profit from these things. During the visit, the men will be expected to provide lavish gifts, take the woman out to expensive restaurants, clubs, etc.

The catch, of course, is that they are corresponding with several men, and they have no intention of marrying any of them (in fact, they may already be married). They are simply making a living this way. While this is a bit more of a gray area, if they are deliberately leading their victims on with promises of marriage and a future they have absolutely no intention of delivering, they still fall into the category of scammer.

Whilst I'd agree in what youre saying in most parts. This contact was one of many random emails we recieve to a general email address at work.
(no dating sites involved)

I decided to play this one, via a totally random, and made up (on the spot) email address and ficticious character.

As I controll around 20 domains, I have the ability to be who ever I want to be.

I think if she was genuinely looking for love, she'd know who she's emailed in the first place.

So she's without doubt on some sort of scam

If it started as completely random spam and was not sent to a dating profile, then yes, that would be evidence of scamming (that qualifies as false claims--she claimed you drew her interest somehow, but she didn't know had no idea who she was emailing, so that can't be true). If she approached you through a social networking or dating site, or at an email address tied to a social networking or dating profile, you need additional evidence.

You may also see a mass mailer like the Bat! in headers, which is another definite sign.
