Im trying to talk to a guy and get to know someone. But he serving in Africa due to depotion for a while and hes working there for a while. Takes forever returning my messeges hours sometimes and stays busy. His facebook consist of three photos and very few friends. Should i be patient wait it out or cut him loose?

Run! Run while you can!!!!

definitely a scammer, don't fall for it.

are you kidding me? 99%of ALL scammers say there serving in africa,theres NO us army etc etc in africa,or is he saying hes with his curch?,comeon girl,you look briter then that,chances are hes a scammer,,run for your life..good luck,,

Cut him loose. If it looks like a scammer, sounds like a scammer.... It is a scammer.

Agreed with pansy! Cut loose and run as fast as you can!

Don't be an idiot, run girl run.

hi...if he is real and honest and if he cares for your relationship then whatever conditions may be ..he will sure find out time for u .so please check first how much he is serious about u .

ive had about 13 in one week all deployed in Africa. all blocked now. the guy you met could be on my blocked list.

like someone else said, RUN FOR THE HILLS

honey maybe you could talk to your date about this?
in my opinion he does not sound like an honest young man
perhaps try to find someone who lives closer to you

he is scammer,be careful

when he tells u he needs to transfer his $50,000 to another county and u need to open a bank account to help him then bank calls u need to despoist 5% down to secure transfer then another 10% its almost done. you will see his true colors

scammer, run for the hills

I have to agree I get about 5 of these a day with the same story... If you are bored and want to play with him. Then ask him about his home town come up with some really off the wall questions.. He will set you straight or ignore them.. IF he ignores them play time is over...

classic con artist. Get out of it. Im real and looking for friends. Feel free to message me and ill give you my fb link. And any one else who wants a new friend hit my inbox too

Welcome, The whole point of the site is to email people HERE.
Asking for or offering, outside contact information, to strangers, only raises scammer suspicions.

Join us on forums so people get to know you & you get to know us.
Good luck.

While I completely agree and promote your advice for those new or inexperienced with scammers I personally feel comfortable enough to identify them and address the issue should it occur. I would never urge anyone to volunteer personal information. The low risk here is that anyone wanting a friend can view MY fb profile and decide to proceed or not. I Use fb over mingle simply because my job my children and my college keep me on the go. I can use text messaging with fb to keep in touch on the go. I don't have that luxury here. My other reason for my preference is that most of these topic forums start innocent but quickly turn into rude and nasty slander. I do like coming on here to meet people but it kills the mood for me to see grown adults incapable of being civilized. I have read a lot of your posts through my time on here and admire your views on matters. I even agree with you now. Just throwing it out there that if any one is having trouble finding a chat buddy I'm eager to have some my self. I'll know the scammers.

Never go off site and give out info until you have talked to someone for a while here. Facebook can be faked just as easy as here.

There is no reason to quickly go off site. There is email here that can be reported if anyone suspects a scammer

Cut him loose and if the messages were on here, report him. He smells like a scammer

She is right and it happens a lot. Never rush trust. And I won't be a hypocrite. Even I talk for at least a month before I give out contact info and no one is obligated to. I just personally chance it cuz of my busy life. This is a good starting point and a safe one. Facebook tends to reveal way too much. Mingle keeps it discrete. I've had to learn the hard way. I won't lie about that. If mingle had a text feature I'd be content with that. I'd even be willing to pay.
