I too have been contacted by a Nigerian scammer on eharmony. His name is James Bennett. After hounding eharmony, I think they have finally taken him out of the match pool. This is getting ridiculous. I thought eharmony was supposed to be a quality single's site. It takes less than a minute to trace someone's IP address. That is how I find out Jame's was a scammer. I mentioned this to eharmony and they said they had 15,000 new users a day so they couldn't possibly trace everyone's IP address. I would think they should be able to write a program to flag Nigerian IP addresses.
Does anyone know if there are any groups who set up stings to try and catch these guys? Kind of like the Preverted Justice sting operations that catch adult males that pray on teenage girls in chat rooms.
There is a way for Eharmony to block IP's and there are programs that already exist they just don't want to pay for it since I am sure they get paid ad money for every hit they get on their site.
I don't know of any groups that try to nail scammers since that requires going to a different country and it is to dangerous and not really worth it since it is hard to track these guys/gals down.
As a side note Perverted Justice goes after Women perverts too they just don't usually end up on dateline.
