'Sign pictures' Fun, but rarely prove much

Sign pictures are pictures you ask somebody to pose for, usually holding a piece of paper, or 'sign' with some specified text on it, in an attempt to prove that person is real, and who you are in contact with.
You have to be careful! Scammers are fairly adept at producing fake sign pictures.
'Sign' pictures aren't really the best way to prove you are in contact with that person. Please ask for help from an established anti-scam site in evaluating any sign picture you may be sent. Most are fake, and while they are easy to detect as fakes, if you are emotionally connected to the person, it's easy to be fooled.
There are some very simple ways to detect fraud in sign pictures. You just have to be willing to look, and accept the truth. There's no rational excuse for any person who you meet on the 'net to not be able to show a face on webcam. Always expect to see that face, live, on webcam, and, of course, never send money!
Here we have a young filipina, who professed love quickly for an elderly baiting character of mine.
She claims she did not have a webcam, but was chatting on yahoo via a smartphone, which actually appears to be correct. She was coaxed into posing for a sign picture when she avoided showing a face on cam, after asking the old man for money during the first chat.

This is the same girl as in the pictures being used to scam men. She may not be the person doing the actual scam, but may be a particpant, if only providing her face.
This picture arrive around 3 am, Philippines local time, and the exif data for the picture shows the picture was taken by a smart phone, 5 minutes earlier, the same day. I think they woke the girl up to pose for the picture.
This picture is 'fresh', and shows no evidence of editing. Most sign pictures are fake. Plee uase, don't assume a 'sign picture' is 100% proof you are in contact with that person.
In other internet romance scams, like from Russia, local girls are sometimes paid to pose for sets of pictures to be used in scams. The girl is 'real', and she is somewhat involved in the scam, but she is often not the actual scammer.
This may be the situation with the filipina in these pictures. Somebody, a friend or family member is probaby conducting the scam, using her face and pictures.
(Recent information provided to Dragonladies.org suggests this girl is part of an extended family 'scam' operation, who use female family members, some underaged, to conduct scams like this. The person contacting the men may well be younger than the girl in these pictures, who may be well under 16. The family members involved switch off on the contact duties, and the girl in the pictures was very obviously roused from sleep in the early morning hours to provide new pictures to aid in this scam.) )

This girl had a profile on dateinasia.com, a large, free, dating site known for scammers, perverts, and sex tourists. She claimed to be 18, and looked young. She messaged a baiting profile I had of a man who is 50 years older than she claimed to be. Guys, this is a trap. When a girl this young messages a man that much older, it's almost always for money, or immigration. You will get screwed, but not in the way you hoped.
More info on this scam at Dragonladies.org OK, you can see several 'sign' pictures, elsewhere on this page. I like them, they are mostly a novelty, and rarely proof of much. In rare cases all they do is prove a live girl is at least posing for pictures, not much else.
Never send money to somebody you only know from the internet, or phone calls.

starving filipina scammer. eve_shar97@yahoo.com

Meet Charris Abarcas. She's been starving for over 5 months, and lures men from dating sites, to chat, and asks for money. Maybe she should sell her computer and disconnect the internet so she can buy food?
