Anyone else having issues where u are being contacted by these guys? Beware and be ahead of their game. Watch closely for red flags. Anyone who asks u for money and tells u to prove your love to them are not real. These people will make excuses why they cant call or video chat. They will message you at odd ours. They act quick to fall in love etc. Don't buy into this. Be careful. Be safe!

Also don't be afraid to question their actions...if your not getting straight answers be suspicious. These scammers are also not up to date on current events or latest popular trends. Don't be afraid to test. We are hear for good honest relationships. Do what it takes to make sure your speaking to the right people.

Happy mingling!

Good advice so many ppl fall for it, kinda still shocks me how trusting some ppl are even with all the stories of being scammed online...

that's because some people don't pay close enough attention.or some have the "that would never happen to me" mentality and then BOOM! it happens to them

If someone is trying to play you...and you know it...it ain't an issue.

Just report it.

If you get played and weren't smart enough to report it.....don't say anything. The smart ones will swoop in like pirhanna hawks.

Don't be an easy victim.

Unfortunately, they'll just come back in a different guise and repeat the process.

Another one, who's real interested in me! He wants to know more about me. He asked me my email and yahoo in the 2nd message. Kinda funny, because I don't think UK ppl use Yahoo (not 100% sure), and he claims to be in the UK.
Can't we make a list
- widowed
- in military
- Somewhat weird English
- Wants to know more about you (doesn't say anything about himself)
- Picture is too good to be true
- Want your Yahoo details or gives his

Crystalfairy thats exactly what they do. I am leary of anyone who is widowed. Sad because if there are men on here who are truly widowed they may not be trusted at first. Also add to the list...
-Gives you a phone number but its Google number or some other internet number.
-Or will only text you on the phone number but refuses to call you or receives calls and only makes up excuses.
- they seem quick to fall for you. How they feel they known you all their life and want a future with you when its been like uh a week.
I am so glad I keep alert to these red flags. So crazy how they work this and probably take advantage of vulnerable women. I guess there are women scammers too doing the same thing. A friends of mine told me that her Sister's BF brother just gave $5,000 to a lady he never met online because she gave him some BS story. Guess what! He never heard from her. I just can't believe ppl actually are giving money to ppl they never met. If ppl would just stop doing this...it would put these scammers out of business.

LOVE is not based on a $ amount! Sheesh! LOL

Well if this is so, I'm not seeing anything on the settings function that states how we can use this, or maybe I'm just blind. Can anyone give an answer?
