Are You Interested Scam
Category: Dating
These men contact you through the AYI site with fake pics and email add .Although you can email them and they return emails. I contacted AYI and they said they had deleted him off their site I know they try their best as there are thousands of people doing this...This male like the other 4 that I have been contacted by all have the same life in the army, after a week they ask for money to pay a fee, so they can visit in Australia,as they don't have access to their bank account in America. Their parents are usually dead and they always have one child that lives with their ex...and of course you are always the love of their life.....I find it disgusting that they are impersonating American soldiers that are fighting to keep us safe....This particular person is on messenger on msn and his add is major.larryscott@hotmail.com another add he has is major.larryscott@yahoo.com I have contacted the other 4 women he has on his contacts to let them know what is happening....My sister contacted him to give back a little bit of Karma and he is telling her the same exact thing as he told me...and is now asking her for money....is there a way to protect others against this scammer....or is the only answer to block them but this does not stop them from contacting other vulnerable people....I did research the website for The American Defense forces and they had some very useful information... Needless to say he didn't get a cent out of me...

I saw Are You Interested Facebook and was worried that it might be a scam. I thought since it was a facebook app that Are You Interested might have been legit but thank you for sharing this information, and I will avoid their facebook app.

Major.LarryScott is still hitting me up for money as little as 3 minutes ago and his latest is his sister has won lotto but he needs money to pay the confirmation code so she can claim. Some one has to stop this guy once and for all.

I agree. It makes me sick that these people are using United States soldiers to scam on women. I was told that if a serviceman asked for money to come home on leave that it is a scam. Also, you don't have to pay if they call home.

I've been using this site for a few days. It's not what I had hoped for, but I suppose that I should give it more time. There seem to be some fakes on this site but there are also real people there too. I have chatted (their chat system crashes often) with a few ladies already and have enjoyed the experience. Many of the women that come up in the searches are offline, there only seem to be a few online at any given time. This is surprising since the city where I live (San Diego, CA) is very large and has a very active dating culture. I have been contacted on this site by women over seas and some are very aggressive. I will chat with them to be friendly but if I get any hint they want money I simply block and report them (to the service). They do not seem to waste much time in getting to the money part, so just be smart about it and use your common sense. This site is no more or less dangerous than any other dating site. Just be careful, that's all. As for the guy spoken of above, he should be put in jail.

I signed up for AYI some weeks ago just as a bit a a laugh really and to see if it was genuine! I never paid for a subscription so constantly received emails saying i had a match or a wink or you have received a reply?? but as a non signed up member could not ever read any of the so called replies. Yesterday i had a message saying to sign out of your account so that the site can refresh which made no sense but i did it anyway, after trying to sign back in and put the only password i have in a message said that it was the wrong password so had to click on "forgot password" it then asked me if i wanted to sign in through facebook and link all my contacts so i clicked NO then a ITunes sign in box appeared so i put my password in and AYI opened displaying all my messages or gifts etc not thinking anything else of it, Until today when i noticed an email thanking me for signing up and paying £39.00. I never had any intention of paying use this scam website and intend to tell my bank to stop this payment. As for reoccurring payment after 6 months, I would rather cancel my ITunes account than pay them so much money for nothing but a scam site. If you have experienced anything similar please let me know.

I signed up for the service through facebood and wanted to message with some of the ladies I liked. They stated was 8.47 usd per month with the first month free. When my credit card cycled, I noted a 99.99 usd charge on my card.

Something about this site spooked me. The one email I was able to receive as a non-paying "member" was from a great looking woman in Minnesota who obviously couldn't write in the English language very well or, more likely, it was the product of a Babel Fish translation to English from some other language. The grammar, or lack thereof is always the giveaway. The email was clearly bogus. My thinking is that it was designed to arouse my interest into dropping some cash for a subscription only to find out later that the seemingly lush oasis was really just a mirage. It wouldn't be the first time.

Unfotunately, I was scammed $20,000 australian dollars.... By a Major Larry Scott, i have learnt the hard way....... I refuse to talk to anyone who makes contact with me from overseas...... Sadly these kind of people give dating sites a bad name..... As far as I am concerned these kind of people are scum of the earth...... Is there anyone out there, that can give me advise on how to get my money back, well @ least some of it...... Due to that person calling himself Major Larry Scott, I am experencing financial hardship....... I pray every day, that this person who is calling himself a Major Larry Scott, rot's in hell......
