In the beginning of your relationship, watch out for the following red flags: Promising way too much in the beginning and never coming through. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is false. If they say I love you after a couple of meetings, take that as a red flag. The person usually is secretive about where they live, their family, their associates, and their friends. Will give you an excuse as being raised this way or wanting things to be private for awhile They will not talk about their past, usually to keep you at length. Pay attention to what they do say as a scammer usually slips up. The person has a sudden crisis and needs help, this will happen frequently. Lets face it, you barely know the person and is expecting help from you? A huge red flag. The crisis will happen when you are enjoying doing something else without them and will happen on a frequent basis in order to control you and to keep the scam going. They have a a constant medical crisis for example and they need your money quick. Other examples maybe their car is always breaking down, they need money to see you, a family member needs money to save their home, etc. If you do decide to help financially, the person is instantly quite distant and ignore you, you cant get a hold him/her for days, or they had to take an un-expected trip. They will not account for the money you just provided them. If you push this, they will threaten to leave you in a way to dis-arm your accusations and turn the tables on you claiming you are insecure or you dont trust them. Does the person have a secret friend? Watch how frequently this person is on the phone while with you, usually a scammer has an associate he/she is working with for advice to keep you on the hook.
