dating site scam? worried?

Ok I’m kinda concerned. I was checking out a local free dating site and this girl emailed me and said to hit her up on yahoo chat. So I did. Within 2 days she was saying she wants to marry me. Freaked me out so I looked her up on a nigerian dating scam site and found her profile! I never gave her any personal information other than my name. I’m worried she might hack my computer or something because I pay all my bills online/credit cards, etc. Do you think as long as I didn’t send money or give my soc sec# number I’ll be ok? thanx

As long as you only gave your name and no other personal information you should be fine. Most of these scams revolve around her having some huge issue that she needs help with. A sick parent with a hospital bill, or a sum of money that is needed to purchase a plane ticket so you two can meet. Not hacking. Obviously, the more personal information you give out, the more danger your in. Birthdays, mothers maiden names, home addresses, all of these things should always be kept secret for the most part.

If you haven’t already cut things off, you might just have some fun with her (him… whoever). Start your own drama that you need help with. See if you can get them to send you a recording of them singing a rendition of All I Really Want To Do by Bob Dylan.
