Cut him loose. If it looks like a scammer, sounds like a scammer.... It is a scammer.

perhaps try to find someone who lives closer to you

I have to agree I get about 5 of these a day with the same story... If you are bored and want to play with him. Then ask him about his home town come up with some really off the wall questions.. He will set you straight or ignore them.. IF he ignores them play time is over...

While I completely agree and promote your advice for those new or inexperienced with scammers I personally feel comfortable enough to identify them and address the issue should it occur. I would never urge anyone to volunteer personal information. The low risk here is that anyone wanting a friend can view MY fb profile and decide to proceed or not. I Use fb over mingle simply because my job my children and my college keep me on the go. I can use text messaging with fb to keep in touch on the go. I don't have that luxury here. My other reason for my preference is that most of these topic forums start innocent but quickly turn into rude and nasty slander. I do like coming on here to meet people but it kills the mood for me to see grown adults incapable of being civilized. I have read a lot of your posts through my time on here and admire your views on matters. I even agree with you now. Just throwing it out there that if any one is having trouble finding a chat buddy I'm eager to have some my self. I'll know the scammers.

Never go off site and give out info until you have talked to someone for a while here. Facebook can be faked just as easy as here.

There is no reason to quickly go off site. There is email here that can be reported if anyone suspects a scammer

Cut him loose and if the messages were on here, report him. He smells like a scammer

She is right and it happens a lot. Never rush trust. And I won't be a hypocrite. Even I talk for at least a month before I give out contact info and no one is obligated to. I just personally chance it cuz of my busy life. This is a good starting point and a safe one. Facebook tends to reveal way too much. Mingle keeps it discrete. I've had to learn the hard way. I won't lie about that. If mingle had a text feature I'd be content with that. I'd even be willing to pay.
