in addition to paying for their air fare , that they require BTA...
Internet Financial Scams - US Embassy in LondonBeware of anyone who requests funds for a BTA, or Basic Travel Allowance, as a requirement to depart another country for the United States. There is no such thing as a BTA. In other cases, your Internet friend will claim to need a travel allowance, or travel money, to be able to travel to the United States.
"Second only to flight money, the Basic Travel Allowance (BTA) is the scammers highest paying income.
Also known as the Personal Travel Allowance, Travellers Allowance Fee, Travellers Assistance Fund, Travellers Assurance Fund and numerous other forms of “I have to have wodges of your cash or they won’t let me fly”.
Let’s get this over with now … THERE IS NO SUCH THING any more, anywhere, it’s an online dating scam."-

Ted: good morning
jrk_311: Good Morning! How are ya this morning?
Ted: good thanks
Ted: and you ?
jrk_311: eh, pretty good- would be better if I were down there with you though!
Ted: I guess that your profile isn't up on the site yet
Ted: tell me a little about yourself
jrk_311: yeah it is
jrk_311: intrinsic_fame25
jrk_311: Well, I am 25, in Ohio. I am, a very loving, funny, goofy guy but I am professional when need be. I love to make others happy and I have a drive to find my place in this world.
jrk_311: I have a passion for music and Food! haha, I know, what a combination, right?
Ted: not a bad combo at all
jrk_311: I have recently been laid off of work, and have found myself stagnant and unhappy. I need to get out of Ohio and start my life anew, preferrably with a nice guy like yourself.
Ted: I understand
Ted: thiongs are pretty rough nowadays
jrk_311: And I am hoping to be starting this new life in the extreme near future.
jrk_311: yeah, the job market here sucks!
Ted: not only there unfortunately
jrk_311: true, true.
Ted: the site says unknown
Ted: can't bring up your profile
Ted: when did you fill it out ?
jrk_311: if you go to where it shows the people currently online, you can click on my pic there
jrk_311: like 5 hours ago
Ted: it won't be available for 24 hours
jrk_311: http://www.houseboy.com/index.php?file=mem...er_id=110010203
Ted: you can bring it up
Ted: but no one else can
jrk_311: Oh, IM sorry - I didn't realize that
Ted: let me try the link
jrk_311: ok
jrk_311: well, there's nothing on the site that I can't tell you on here
Ted: sorry
Ted: I did read it a few minutes ago
Ted: apparently it's still not in the system by name yet
jrk_311: strange ...
Ted: the whole site is
jrk_311: Well, are you still looking for a live-in house mate?
Ted: I had to send them a message yesterday about their opening page
Ted: they screwed up saying that anyone signing in in the last 90 days would be taken off
Ted: for inactivity
Ted: instead of NOT signing in in the past 90 days
Ted: and yes
jrk_311: ah, yes. I thought that sounded odd.
Ted: I am still looking
Ted: unfortunately not many guys want to live with an old man
jrk_311: Well, those guys are apparently not aware of what they're missing
Ted: unfortunately not too much
Ted: at my age i'm pretty much a pretty boring guy
Ted: lived a too hectic life style most of my life
jrk_311: Well, I have a feeling that you and I would get alond famously. I am very laid-back, drama free and just like to enjoy my time with someone I have common interests with, and just enjoy life in search of happiness.
Ted: i'm still searching
jrk_311: Most of us are.
Ted: sure looks that way
jrk_311: SO what would be the likelihood of you actually having me out?
Ted: have you ever been to Florida ?
jrk_311: Yeah, several times. mainly northcentral FL, gainesville area...
jrk_311: but I love it down there
Ted: why were you in Gainesville ?
Ted: it's a small college town
jrk_311: I was with my mother, visiting my G'Pa.
Ted: ahha
jrk_311: He lived in Bronson just outside of Gainesville, Archer FL
Ted: know it
Ted: never been there
Ted: about 30 miles from me
jrk_311: ok, okay
Ted: what do you do workwise ?
jrk_311: I was laid of at the end of november, I worked at JC Penney warehouse.
Ted: ok
Ted: it says that you like to cook
Ted: I use to own restaurants
Ted: and am a pretty good cook myself
jrk_311: Food is one of my passions, I love to cook.
Ted: unfortunately so do I and have my "up & downs" weight wise
Ted: do you have transportation ?
jrk_311: I am a former gymnast, so I have a pretty nice frame, but I havent been going to the gym as much. I am not overweight by ANY means, I just need to get to Florida and get more active
jrk_311: I do not.
Ted: that might be a problem here
Ted: I am only 7 miles to the center of town
Ted: but the closest bus is 2 miles from the house
Ted: I like living in a " country" atmosphere
jrk_311: I do too
Ted: the house is in the middle of the woods on 5+ acres
jrk_311: oh god that sounds soooo perfect
Ted: lots of wild life
jrk_311: Well, I am dead serious about this and you'd love having me as a helper with whatever you needed.
jrk_311: I just hope you are as serious as I am.
Ted: what is your name ?
jrk_311: Justin
Ted: hi Justin...i'm Ted
jrk_311: Nice to meet you, ted
Ted: we can give it a try if you like if you can down here
jrk_311: How would I get there is the question?
jrk_311: I am in no way a scammer or anything of the sort...
jrk_311: but I do not have the means to even get myself there...
Ted: unfortunately I had to learn the hard way and got fucked over a couple of times
Ted: so no longer send tickets or money
jrk_311: Well, I would never fuck you over, you can get a non-refundable bus ticket.
Ted: those guys made it bad for others that are not scammers
Ted: I would reimburse you once you got here
jrk_311: yeah, that's pretty shitty. But like I said, u could purchase a non-refundable ticket that I would have to use to come to you.
Ted: but can't send it up front
Ted: sorry
jrk_311: I do not have ANY way to get money for food, let alone a ticket.
jrk_311: thats why this is such a dire need of mine
Ted: if you read the opening page on the site
Ted: they warn you about sending money or tickets
jrk_311: well, I dont know what to say cause buying a non refundable ticket is fail-safe.
Ted: not really since the ticket can be re-routed if not used
Ted: costs about $50 bucks to do so
jrk_311: No. there are tickets that you can buy that are only usable forwhat they are bought for.
jrk_311: and cannot be exchanged or refunded.
jrk_311: it's fail-safe.
Ted: i'm sorry Justin , just won't do it again
jrk_311: well, thats your loss I guess.
jrk_311: thanks for wasting my time.
Ted: that attitude will not get you too far
Ted: have a good day
jrk_311: haha said the old man.
jrk_311: Goodbye.
