At first, there were two whose pictures looked like indian nationals. I didn't mind them and just deleted it. After maybe two weeks, i received another batch of males - one from UK, and mostly from US. The one from UK was persistent and so I tried to chat with him for several days. He seemed nice except that he didn't understand the word 'NO'. And when he mentioned inviting me to Nigeria to attend his son's birthday - I got alerted. Coz di ba Nigeria has so many scams? Today, another chatmate from the USA whom I gave to a friend emailed me thanking for giving him email of my friend. And he was leaving for West Africa. Gosh, Africa na naman. Today also, I got another invite from another male in my friendster - the most handsome pa sya. He said all my pics in my profile were great. I double checked my profile photo but I didn't think it would generate that much admiration. I have received more than 10 already in a span of 2 weeks, excluding the two I have deleted. Parang bumabata ang ibinabato nila sa account ko. It started with 47, the latest is now 38. I am a single mom and 47 years old na nga but i did not indicate in my friendster that I needed a relationship. Friends lang inilagay ko coz that was the most harmless and nearest to the truth. I merely used friendster so I can show pics of my son to my friends and relatives abroad. I can sense that something is really fishy and very wrong here. Bakit parang ayaw akong tantanan. I am quite good in mind games but with the way things are going, I find all these way out of my league. I googled for similar problems pero parang wala pa yata eh. What do you call this scam? Wala pa silang nakuha sa akin except platonic friendship.

If you're not concentrating on what you're doing, or are distracted, you could get fooled by them unfortunately. :( These messages are pretty tricky though.
