Well Hiwaving Welcome to Mingle
Now to your other problem..
People have to be careful..
I don't go off site with someone for a long time.
I don't ever give someone money
I am sorry that happened to you..
The other thing when in doubt for example I had this guy supposedly email
me from the Dallas area well I have been to Dallas several times. I asked a couple questions and poof they were gone..

Again welcome I hope you find what you are looking for

^^^..this man...spot on....

So this happened just after you joined, scammers will target newbies.....
oh well you got away from it.....
You don't need to go offsite...the messaging here is perfectly okay.....
only use another platform when your really comfortable with that person....

yeah, anytime someone asks for money, unless you're in an established relationship and totally trust the person after meeting and such but maybe not even in that case, DO NOT GIVE OR SEND MONEY.
they pretend to love you, do nice things like put your pic on their screensaver or theme and then come up with a dramatic story.

Been there but didn't do that. Been on and off dating sites for 4 years now and have run into many of just what you're talking about. Many is truly an understatement. I've gotten to where I can identify them almost immediately for the fact that they are in their late 20's to mid 30's and I'm 62. That's pretty much a no brainer. Hang in there, I have had 3 very good relationships with women I've met online and don't regret a day of being with them. Be patient and always aware of who you're talking to. Get as much information as you can on the site and do some research. If they have nothing to hide and truly show interest in you, then they would at least oblige some details and allow you to confirm their honesty. Happy love hunting.

Beware of Romance dating Scams!
Plenty of West African scammers on all dating sites.
NEVER send a money transfer to someone you have not met in person.
