I have been talking to someone through this site and it has been going okay. A few hesitations from my end, but okay. Gently he starts asking me for money through an odd set of circumstances. BIG RED FLAGS! I want to report him as a possible scam artist or at least have him checked out so that if he does need help someone can. Does anyone know how to notify the site of this problem?

Hi.. Had something like that happen to me too. Not sure how to report it. But the person that contacted me isn't on the site anymore.

Good luck and thank goodness you have good flag sensors.

thanks everyone. I did file a report. I just feel kinda bad if his story is true because he is usung his child for sympathy. If it is not true, it really just makes me sick!

It's great you followed your instincts. Think about it as meeting someone in real life, would you just give them money because of a sob story.

You can usually report a user by clicking on the REPORT THIS USER link in his/her profile, Paula612.

Or, you can use this generic form and just fill in the user name:
