Anyone else here had someone message them to ask for their email address, but found it a bit fishy?

Just had one where someone claiming to be from a certain country, when going from their grammer and style of writing, were blatantly from somewhere else. Its not just someone that cant spell very well, trust me. Seems a bit dodgy they ask for your email address and give you a life story which is realy hard to believe....

I have an email address i made just for this, with its own password. Im a bit wary of net fraudsters.

Lets just say the person in question gave me a life story of being stuck in another country, having had their money swindled by and ex, and making statements like 'yes im from American'

Alarm bells? Thats more like a bomb going off in a broom cupboard laugh laugh

It would be nice if every person on the web
were genuine and real. Sadly, that's just
not the way it goes.brokenheart

Hi,

I would love to, but how can the admins differenciate?

Would be nice though, and its so tempting to name and shame the people but you cant really without concrete proof.

:smile:

This all reminds me of what it was like on
meetme.com, which used to be yearbook.com.
A place where you go to talk to different
people.

It really didn't seem to be a friendship driven
site. Was just a place where guys tried to
pickup women. Most of the time, I'll bet
nothing ever materialized out of it.

One thing I remember happening, was they had
these models, hot young women who were actually
scammers, e-mail you or click on the "like you
button.

Oh, at first guys were jumping with joy
thinking this gorgeous young women was
contacting them, including myself. The
smart ones got the picture pretty much
right away though.

The site can tell. This is one of the best site for getting rid of them but we can't catch them all. The members have to notify us. don't go off site with someone because it's out of our jurisdiction
