First of all, I would reply and say "I do not understand, your english is very bad" It seems to me that this person just moved to the USA and has terrible English and got on Mingle2 for some reason. The word COMPENSATE strikes a bad note with me, it might be a scam, or the guy might literally not know how to type, or have his brother translating and typing for him, etc. The weird part is, I get these kind of messages to from these foriegn guys looking for women, its like they just go through and message everybodythe same or something. IDK but don't give out any personal info. Not sure what your opinion is on these foriegners preying upon American women, but I know what mine is! Good luck.

To all you lovely ladies looking for love, look out for the men on this site acting as our military men over seas, they are scammers they will ask you to go to other web sites like militarycomms@aol.com so they can talk to you on the phone over seas. this site will tell you that you need to send money $250 or more but that you will get it back. If you come across them google there name and military scams you will find all kinds of things about even see pics of these guys, they are smooth and very good at what they do so be careful. The man I came across goes by the name Patrick Mcdonald he is no longer on this site but just wanted to put his name out there. He will also ask you to IM at his yahoo witch is sgtpmcdonald@yahoo.com good luck to all of you ladies on finding love just keep a look out for them a other sites

Be careful of anyone who only has one pic on their profile, their english is atrocious. and they seem to not understand things you say. There are ALOT of scammers, its just part of online communities. I would not attempt anyting . Trust me had to deal with a few scammers and wasted time with them.

Google names and emails when you get them to help you verify if they are real.

Umm heather its against mingle rules to post other users name in a derogatory manner. Whether they are still members are not. Please be careful.
