This website like most singles or dating websites is riddled with romance scam artist. If you suspect you are dealing with one, go to your search engine and put in romance scamming and pick one that has pictures of scammers. It may take a little of your time but its worth it. The first man that contacted me on this website was a romance scammer, I found his picture in about 10 minutes. I reported it on this website and blocked him from contacting me again. I hope all of you will join me in blocking as many of them as we can. Thanks

This is one of the BEST sites at getting rid of scammers and multiple profiles. There are sites out there that won't do any thing about scammers or members with multiple profiles because it increases their numbers. The site can't catch everyone, which is why we rely on members reporting them. That way the site can look into them. Please report scammers or multiple profiles, either from their profiles or through emails.

Please, do, report suspected scammers. Reporting them is easy, all you have to do is click the report user button on the email, or on their profile. We will promptly look into it. Thanks.

If any of you use FireFox as a browser, there is an extension( for $2) called tineye that is a pretty good picture detector. Many times, particularly on other sites you see a good looking person and their photo has been hijacked by a jerk scammer. So you think this good looking person is who you are conversing with, but it is not that person. With this software you can search the net for where that photo is posted. It is pretty cool software. Not sure if you will have much luck with a google image search, but that is another avenue to check out.
