Have a lady 1/2 my age wanting my email, she's about a 12 hour drive from me. Really insistent that I give her my email. My gut feeling is that it's a scammer. What are your thoughts.

I don't think anyone should ask for email until you have visited with them for some time. I would not give mine anyway.

I m not going to say scam or not..
Here is some iron clad rules I go by out here

I stay on site I don't go off site til I know you...
IF you are in a hurry and gripe .. Oh well I have two speeds slow and stop take your pick...
If you want my email addy tough refer back to rule one,


I also made up a dummy email account that literally has no info about me in it. That is what I use for dating sites, catalog's, ebay you name ..


Welcome to Mingle smart call
Have a great time out here
Be safe and have fun

good idea, people can always chat here, emails takes you away from any kind of control the admins/mods have here...

watch out for people wanting to text right away too, i always search the numbers they send, 90% are landlines where they say they are at...

Typically in the past Mingle 2 was a "safe" site from scammers.As women and men become more and more desperate, one could assume they will attempt to infiltrate all the meet sites.I've run into the problem even here.My solution was quite simple,just start up a email address that you can use just for meet sites.Simple.Also, TRUST NOONE.Untill you can get to know them.If they ask for money, do not send any and just mark their incoming email as spam and move on.Hope this helps.We're all here to enjoy life, not be victims.glasses

Google's Image Search is a wonderful tool at times.

You have to ask yourself why is this person in such an all fire hurry to get you to text or email or facebook when there is a perfectly good messaging system right here

went out of my way of giving my skype and email ad. for to me, i can always block them. a guy whom i saw on skype seems to be real but intuitively, after noticing the same shirt he wore the second time on vid call, i purposely asked him to stand up, wave his hand back to me after waving him hello, it's when i got many excuses! funny, it's a pre-recorded video. another one, supposedly a sweet and God fearing guy whom i asked to see on cam too if he is really the one and the same person on his picture profile, had many excuses just not to and transformed into a belittling badmouthed monster!.. lol, a pro scammer. i wonder if there are any decent and real guy here.. i'm sure there is.

Really insistent that I give her my email.

Why?

It seems kind of pointless to move from email on here...to email somewhere else.

Does she give you any justification for moving from one email to another email?

Do you really want an email relationship if she isn't a scam?

Do you have an internet browser like tor or something that hides your IP address and able to set up a throwaway email account that doesn't require phone verification like at mail.com so it doesn't really matter if you give her your email or not as long as you don't download anything she might send you?

Is her wanting your email address the only indication that she's a scammer? There's nothing like really poor english, or pics that all look kinda iffy, or emails that seem to be kinda crazy to send to a complete stranger, talking about love and deep connections?

How long have you been interacting with her via email?
