How can you find out who is scamming you and a who isn't? Was contacted by a mom in UT, but not sure how to tell if she is truthful. ↓

Not always easy - look for red flags - there is a listing i believe on adoption.com. Someone who wont contact your attorney/agency and wont produce proof of pregnancy. Another red flag is also someone who only wants to interract with you online.

This particular site is pretty bad as scammers go. I would say that greater than 85% of the bmoms here are scammers. ↑

Give them some money and if they don't give a baby in return then they must be a scammer? lol ↑

I would like to find out if it is a scam BEFORE I give them money?! Just started interracting with this Bmom, so I still have a little ways to go. ↑

I think there was some sarcasm in Brenda's post. No money should ever change hands without your attorney or agencies say so and never before proof of pregnancy.

Like i said if you met her here - be extremely careful and assume scam until you have pregnancy verified and have spoken to her. ↑

Hi
I am also speaking with someone that says she is from Utah. Did you meet her off here? Just curious because I did. And her story is not adding up. Her IP address is coming from the UK. ↑

Babyforus I'm assuming you mean Cinnamommy? I thought her post seemd very suspicios and thought she was a scam. ↑

I wasn't intending sarcasm, just humour Homemom38.
Here is a tip though, assume everyone is fake on here and if after a while you find out they are real then good. ↑

If Cinnamommy's IP is coming up from the UK then please post that on the original thread she posted.

She sounded like a scam. ↑

You're not starting wars but helping people who are for real to avoid a scammer. Thank you. ↑
