    what are the things to watch for?

    bogus websites for their fake companies.

    Look at the spelling.

    The speech is broken and doesn't fit their profile or picture, for example. i see you very pretty, like to know you well. Although it's no crime to have an accent and I'm not saying all broken speech is a sign of a scammer, but when the picture and profile posted is of an obvious Italian CEO and the language is way off base....... RED FLAG

    The description for their matches is wide open.

    Ages for their matches range from 18 to 63.

    They will have a sob story either divorced from a vicious spouse who took their child away or wife and children, killed in a car accident.
    They will proclaim their love for you within a few chats

    They get really agitated if you ask a lot of questions.

    Sometimes you may be talking to someone totally different.
