OK anyone else run into this ? I was on POF and got a message from a "lady" from Michigan...she initiated contact...after 3 messages wanted my email addy so she could send me personal messages. She proceeds to tell me in email that she doesn't live in Michigan but has moved to Ghana to take care of a sick relative after she tells me she's "stationed in Afghanistan". So, this is a sister site to POF...I get two more of these on this site...contact not initiated by me...one from NY and another from NJ...both with similar stories...both living in Ghana to take care of a sick relative...both want to "chat" through my private email. Even though it clearly states in my profile and my filters I am looking for someone at least 40 and LOCAL( I live in Massachusetts), all 3 of these "ladies" were half my age and all used the term "mixed race" to describe themselves. The one from POF showed up again in one of my searches under a different sn and location but used the same pic. I reported one of them from this site but only got an automated message saying "set your filters for age and location preferences." Just curious to see if anyone else is having the same experiences....Thanx

First of all Mingle2 is not associated with POF, but we do have the same problems here as they do with scammers..
