Anyone else here had someone message them to ask for their email address, but found it a bit fishy?

Just had one where someone claiming to be from a certain country, when going from their grammer and style of writing, were blatantly from somewhere else. Its not just someone that cant spell very well, trust me. Seems a bit dodgy they ask for your email address and give you a life story which is realy hard to believe....

I tell them that I only email on here.

I have an email address i made just for this, with its own password. Im a bit wary of net fraudsters.

Lets just say the person in question gave me a life story of being stuck in another country, having had their money swindled by and ex, and making statements like 'yes im from American'

Alarm bells? Thats more like a bomb going off in a broom cupboard

It would be nice if every person on the web
were genuine and real. Sadly, that's just
not the way it goes.

Just had the same. Someone from "Texas" who ended up being from Ghana by email. The girl is probably some guy sat trying pulling a scam , poor fool, lol.

True that, just dont want to say otherwise incase its true lol

Mate this sounds like the exact same thing!

Does this persons profile picture show a girl of 30 with brown hair???

I just need a true love!!!! But i just keep falling into the hands of guys impersonating to be females!!! Cant we just be honest with each other?

Hi, I dont have anything to hide, or any reason to.

I wouldnt even say im on here looking for someone, but its good for meeting and talking to people. Age, sex and location are irrelvant to me

Yes, but I can usually tell a scammer.

Hi,

Me too. The style of writing usualy gives it away...or the grammar (not that mines any better lol)

Yeah, it was truemate1626. I'm not gona bait them with replies but I assume they'll be some begging story or some offer to ccome visit with last minute airticket problems..and can I help? Lol.
Scammers!

Yes its like a whole crew and on their profile it says they're Austrailian. I've been deleting at least 2 to 3 a day.

Ahh mines a different one, but story sounds the same.

They must think were mugs lol

Geez, thats a lot.

Best to stick to my own area then, i think lol

Report and block them. The site will handle them

Hi,

I would love to, but how can the admins differenciate?

Would be nice though, and its so tempting to name and shame the people but you cant really without concrete proof.

This all reminds me of what it was like on
meetme.com, which used to be yearbook.com.
A place where you go to talk to different
people.

It really didn't seem to be a friendship driven
site. Was just a place where guys tried to
pickup women. Most of the time, I'll bet
nothing ever materialized out of it.

One thing I remember happening, was they had
these models, hot young women who were actually
scammers, e-mail you or click on the "like you
button.

Oh, at first guys were jumping with joy
thinking this gorgeous young women was
contacting them, including myself. The
smart ones got the picture pretty much
right away though.

I feel sooo left out!
I give them my email add, IM, phone number and they never, ever contact me!
What? Am I that fugly?

The site can tell. This is one of the best site for getting rid of them but we can't catch them all. The members have to notify us. don't go off site with someone because it's out of our jurisdiction
