I have chit-chatted with five women now this month whom all claim they are from Michigan, only to find out later on that they never been to or only briefly visited the town/city they got their profile listed as. Out of those five, three seem to be from Africa, one in England and the other I assume is from Germany. All of these women have absolutely terrible typing skills compared to most of the women I work with at work. I'm not talking about text message short-case abbreviations, I know what that looks like. This is just ridiculous typing - period.

Every one of these gals (if that is who they really are) type like this: "Well am good,just work". or "am good,how you,nice hear you" . Who types like that?

And the photos I get via email or through messenger. Most seem to be from the same place. And neither one can give me a fresh new photo to show the actual current weather conditions or famous landmarks. Like that one gal whom claims she is in Paris. It was a live chat via her smart phone. So I mention to her to take a photo of the Eiffel Tower in the background showing the sunny skies. I got some wild idea she wasn't allowed to do that do to restrictions of taking photos of famous places like that without permission. REALLY? Since when? I think she didn't want to reveal exactly where she is at.

If I recall, Dateline NBC had something about some coffee shop in South Africa where men pose as women on these online dating sites. It was some news outlet that had this. Could have been 20/20. I do recall something of the sort on TV.

I had the same crap I think it was men They got mad and called me buddy any women call men buddy( later buddy ) They also try and get money sent.

As twisted as this sounds I've been dying to come across them since I saw a similar documentary- I sooooooh wanna promise them the world, marriage, a visa & anything else their scamming, grabalicious selves might look forward to getting as just wanna see how long I can string them along for... hoping they'll go on a spending spree in anticipation... but no such luck -yet! lol!

I guess it takes all kinds to make a world!

Well one good thing comes from this and that is that it makes one appreciate the real people a wee bit more!

Good luck to you and don't lose heart!

Yes, those are people and most likely men, from Africa. I was on another site a few years ago and I gave up after a week, emailed the admin and told them the entire site was full of scammers. They want to chat offline, they want to yahoo you, then try to extort money. One guy asked me for money within an hour.

So this is my first time back to a meet up site, since then.

You should report them as abuse, let the admin know.

Although I have found some idiots here, at least they are from this country or at least honest about where they are from.

The extremely bad English is a dead giveaway. First clue.
They want to chat off the system. Second clue.
They don't want to meet. Third clue.
They ask for money. Obvs..

I doubt poor typing/bad English would be first hint-we have sooo many women and men whose written/typed is as bad..even when its their first language!

BUT,
What I can say is,come join us in the forums,there's a guarantee that most real/genuine men and women hang out here! Who knows-maybe you'll find someone or something,and add that to making friends!

Also,please click"report" button on those 5women...saves others who are real!

Goodluck!

We ask that all members use the Report System that is available to all members. Do not post names on the forums ect... If you don't REPORT them then Admin can not take care of the issues...

I would like to report them, but all five have quickly deactivated their profile shortly after sending me PM's.

Eish!
Scammers!!
That's atleast confirmed now!

In such cases, the accounts have probably and fortunately been banned.
