We all feel self conscious and scared when it comes to the "Sweetheart Scam."
For those of you that do not know, the Sweetheart Scam is a private message another user sends you that is somewhat like this:
"Hello. My name is bob, I saw your profile today and became interested in you. I will also like to know you more, and if you can send an email to my email address, I will give you my pictures here is my email address (*****@*****.com). I believe we can move from here, as in dating or getting married! Awaiting for your mail to my email address above.
Bob"
Really, do you like these messages? I thought so.
What the "Sweetheart Scam" really is:
This is both Wetpaint spam and an Email spam. It is also a scam.
They usually are people from foreign countries trying to get money. That is the "Scam" part.
If you email them back, they just save your email address and send you email spam. This is the "Email Spam" part.
Wetpaint Spam is this and advertising your wiki or another wiki at the wrong place. This is the "Wetpaint Spam" part.
