This is a fact of life on any penpal site.  As soon as someone mentions money be very wary.  One of the best ways to combat it is to "out" the member as soon as you can.  Report them to the site managers but also let everyone know.  It is only a minor inconvenience to the scammers as they join under a different name but at least it does make it inconvenient for a while.

I like all to know I can't understand why the scammers are continuously trying to aim at our posters with their pathetic stories of needing money.

I hope that someone out there can inform the relevant authorities and let them get caught someday.  Usually, they operate from cyber cafe outlets or public places and are people who are involved in bad stuff and I think it is a syndicate.
