An easy way to catch a scammer!

All of us are really tired of the scam artist we find on alt. Well there is a very easy way to spot one. There are various ways using the same idea. First you need to have Google Earth on your computer.

First way is to send the person a picture of you with a house, not your own of course, in the back ground. You give the person the address of the house and explain to them how to use Google Earth to get down to street level to see the house. You then request that they send you a picture of them in front of a house and give you the address of the house to prove that they are where they say they are. A scammer will end all communication with you at that time.

The second way is for you to go to the town where the person states they are and find an easy place for them to take a picture of themselves in front of the building and send it to you. That will also end all communication.

A third way is for you to look at the place they say they are and if it is a small town for you to go to street level and find a corner in the center of town and then ask them what is on say the south east corner, a business, a statute or school. This will also stop all communications.

Now I know this is not a thing any of us wish to have to use to find a trustworthy person but it stops the scammer in their tracks. But if you find a scammer lets all report them to alt. Just maybe this will cut the number of scammers here.
