I've been on this site since March 2007....I'm pretty sure a scammer wouldn't put that much effort into it.:wink:
(AND, I have references....check out my testimonials!laugh )

I have been trying to figure out a way to let you know that I am an Ethiopian sumo and I want to have your baby.....but after all these years....I have begun to doubt that you would want the aftertaste of my love....

Just sayin......correct me if I am wrong.

The realer profile might be what they post on the site.


It still doesn't make sense to me, why being deceitful is even necessary, after all, what could they possibly gain from it, other than attention, until they are found out...

From what I see on here, most are content to man/woman bash, or feed their own negativity. Don't misunderstand...I, indeed, have plenty of faults, more than I care to admit to, BUT I sure as hell am not going to bring it into a public forum to be debated, or ripped to shreds by those who have nothing better to do.
If one wants to take the time to get to know me, all they need do is email. If things go well, then great! If not...come see, come sigh.


I hear you... about being ripped to shreds by those who have nothing better to do... their lives must really be miserable and this is the way to recruit people to join in on their pity party... by trying to bring others down with them... I guess...

Not everyone has a fake profile. But you sure have to sift through alot of b.s. to sometimes find the real ones. Best way is to interact with people in the forums and see how they are. but always remember that their are people out their who are very good at manipulating people. people who are hiding who they really are. If they seem to good to be true . . they probably are. . dont give off right information unless your comfortable with the person. Use your best judgment and although you might not find the one . . you will find some awesome friends. :)


I definitely agree with you on this, penny... I've given up on thinking it's possible to find a partner online, but I have met and interacted with some really nice people, and this is what makes the experience worthwhile, friends... flowerforyou

I think you've hit the nail on the head, any website that can be, has been taken over by scammers and fakes. It's a sad statement of modern life and probably why people open accounts on here and never talk to anyone.

I'm afraid the only answer to the riddle is time. Sincere people will hang around for the long run and won't make any excessive demands on others. So it's all about that primative survival aid, gut instinct at the end of the day. If it looks bad, smells bad, then it probably is bad.

Hi eli, it's nice to meet you... what can be even more disconcerting is to brave walking in the dark to find the light switch, only to see an empty room when you flip it on... regardless to the circumstances we're still alone...

When you meet a man who is willing to do personal emails, it is not hard to find out if he is a scammer or someone not really serious about a lasting relationship. At least, that has been my experience, I just ask questions lots of them and if he answers wrong, he probably isn't for me.biggrin I've met several men inperson and from different states, however, no love match on my part. I still keep in touch with a couple but I was on a secured Paid site, when we all met Online.

There was this one guy who had five different profiles posted with the same picture so you couldn’t mistake his face,
but on every profile he had a different name and personal data… And even when I caught him at it he still didn’t think
there was anything wrong with what he was doing.

So, again… how do we really know who’s who?


Please report them. Multiple profiles are not allowed, and indicative of a scammer.

Thanks,
Mark

I haven't been on here very long but I'm finding that I'm very reluctant to talk to anyone outside of the forums. It seems like the few people I have talked to are full of lies and, worst of all, can't seem to keep their stories straight. For goodness sake, if you are going to lie to me, at least tell me the same lie twice in a row.

Honestly I'm not sure this site is right for me. I think that there's entirely too good of a chance that I will fall prey to someone who represents themselves in one light and ends up being an altogether different person.

Guess I'll just get comfy with a glass of wine and watch re-runs of The Big Bang Theory every night. Would be much preferable to having my heart crushed by someone who's sole purpose is to deceive.

I like this... "I ask lots of questions and if he answers wrong, he probably isn't for me."

Exactly!

I'm sorry you have had the exact same experience I have, shortfire... it's very discouraging, so much so, that even if a sincere gentleman emailed me I'd still think he was up to no good... and I'd make him jump thru hoops to prove to me his good intentions before I would even give him a chance... this kind of atmosphere isn't fair to us women or the men who mean well... it's a sad fact that all the rotten apples have poisoned the entire orchard... so I stick to posting with those I know and am comfortable with...

i find that the scammers will generally be the ones that will not take the time ti know you before saying i love you that word love gets misused alot online, im a strong believer in it takes time to fall inlove and you should not say i love you to someone unless you absolutely mean it
