Running into ladies requesting ID's to meet them that requires a cc to get it? Is this for real? Or a scam? Does it show on your credit card when you do it?

You need to ask? Of course it's a scam. Never give your ID or banking information to anyone on these sites. I work for a bank and see the results of such behavior every day. You won't get any money back and you won't get a date either.

welcome to mingle2 hope your stay is fantastic......only if you are purchasing a membership and only through the payment system. only if you want the additional features.

You would think dating sites would screen profiles and messages for terms like 'cam model' 'sponsor' 'cc' 'credit card' 'escort' 'verification site' etc. automatically suspending that profile as well as any profiles using the same pictures to stop the threat before any damage can be done. There must be $ome rea$on they don't, I wonder what that rea$on i$......

there are too many and too much admin functions to keep the site running. just report them.

Forgive me, but wouldn't it SAVE admin time and functions to block a profile that has already used THE SAME photo in idk, say 50 profiles on this site? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but these pictures are all just 1's and 0's. Kinda like a DIGITAL SIGNATURE, much like say an Email address or an ip address. You can't set up two profiles on here with the same associated email address, which are FREE, DISPOSABLE, and UNLIMITED. Pictures on the other hand are a bit more difficult to obtain, good lighting, professional photographer, wardrobe, willing or unwilling actor/actress, all have to coordinate in the same space and time. Sure things have gotten a little easier with high res cameras in almost all smartphones selfie sticks etc but once an actress, model, w/e is written on the check that day, is spotted AND REPEATEDLY REPORTED ON THIS SITE AS FAKE OR INAPPROPRIATE they should be banned right? I mean if Anthony Wiener has one profile here good for him right? But if he has 5 with Wiener in the username with different email adresses but THE SAME PICTURE, sometimes even in THE SAME TOWN, you're telling me there is no kind of FILTER that can stop this?
If the ol' wiener is cycling through profiles like I change socks, that's not a problem? I mean if someone contacts staff and wants to change a username or no longer uses an associated email THEN staff could facilitate that request but I'd imagine someone who has 50 OR MORE ACTIVE PROFILES ON THIS SITE RIGHT NOW wouldn't go through all the trouble of submitting 50 special requests to facilitate 50 transfers from 50 old emails to 50 new ones would they? That's a lot of typing and the username password id's all have to be in matching case with no mistakes... Would YOU go through all that trouble to keep 50 fake profiles up?

Suppose YOU were a ($)cam model and when you go through the process of creating your fake profile with a stock photo EASILY OBTAINED FROM AN INSTAGRAM TUMBLR SNAPCHAT PHOTOBUCKET or TWITTER account of some porn starlet wannabe who may or may not be involved, and when you submit your profile and try to login you're immediately blocked because SOMEONE ELSE ALREADY HAS PICTURES IN A PROFILE ON THIS SITE that MATCH THOSE DIGITAL SIGNATURES. Then if YOU try the same thing again with a different 'model' it doesn't matter because your IP ADRESS IS PROHIBITED FROM LOGING IN POSTING EDITING ANY OTHER PROFILES WITHOUT ----EXCLUSIVE PERMISSION---- GRANTED BY SITE MODERATORS WITH A WAITING PERIOD OF 7-30 DAYS. Would YOU continue trying to post fake profiles?
Of course you wouldn't.
Now for real people who have moved, forgotten a password, forgotten they had a profile they haven't used in over a year, they wouldn't have 'cam model' 'beauty consultant' 'selling of antiques' type stuff in their profile so when their requests are processed the mods would see off the bat they are who they claim to be. A quick glean and any seriously contracting details would be easily identified. You surely can't be telling me red flag code can't be added to the obscenity filter that stops words like **** **** *** ***** could'nt be modified to suspend offending profiles.
Hell, while we're at it, how about instantly and permanently banning any and all profiles in nonexistent places? Start with Manhattan and New York as cities in States other than NY and KS. Surely a real person can't live in New York, Iowa or Manhattan, Alabama.
Is this really that hard?
