eHarmony’s advice on scammers: “notify the site where you met him”

Great.

What’s great about it: eHarmony is educating its users on how to identify and handle Ghanaian and Nigerian scammers and romance scams.

What’s not-so-great: eHarmony won’t admit in its own article that scammers are infiltrating the site and that eHarmony hereby sends them to its subscribers as matches.

Their advice says,

If you are convinced you’ve come across a con man, you should notify the site where you met him. The site can check him out and, if they agree with you, remove him or even involve the authorities.

Well, it’s a start. A great start. Am I right?
