Should I report or ignore the hustler....

Sneaks is right, please don't put the user's name in the forums. I have removed the name from the OP.

The proper procedure is to report the scammer through the Report link in the profile or through the Report link in their e-mail.

Thank you I wasn't aware of the procedures, but if it happens again I will be sure to follow the proper procedures now that I am aware of it.

Bah!

Damn you Mingle2! I've never had a scammer, I'm missing out on one of the most important aspects of internet dating because of your spam filter!

Gah! Why Mingle, why?!?

Haven`t had a scammer on here yet.Knock on wood.

Other sites I have had a lot of them.

Also report them.

I just call their bluff and mess with them. It is fun to get them upset.

Depends, if it's on here report it. Markus loves kicking people off.

Personally I scam bait them. It's a lot of fun. Keep making them think you sent money or are sending momney so they have to run to the store and check. The more you tie them up the less they will be able to sucker some poor innocent person.
