hi, I found a different kind of scammer - I think this one was going for identity theft.
Normal profile, contacted people in different ways - asked a member for her name, date of birth and facebook account. Another one he offered help that would have required her to give similar details.

The first sign of an unhealthy relationship is moving too quickly. That's also a good red flag for letting people too far into your life on-line until you get to know them better.
They may just be desperate for a personal connection and not trying to scam you, but even then, you have to be careful what you open yourself up to. Give any new relationship some time before you get too close.
