A lot of scammers and pervs do that. Report anything you feel is suspicious

Good luck on your search

If they get a gmail or other email it pretty much leads to any other public information on the web about you.

Including your full legal name and Alias's, phone number, address, and a satellite view of your home.

Which means if the questionable "they" you are chatting up wants to they can in real time know when you are and are not home by counting the cars in your driveway.

AND Know when/where you are by tracking your phone GPS. Very helpful if they want to sell said information or they want to rob you while you are out. Particularly unsettling if you have beloved pets or children and unarmed babysitters or aged family members at home.

And you do not get to decide if they want to know where you went to school, held a license, owned property, been arrested, and are single, divorced, or cohabitated with someone.

Personally I want to at least lay eyes on that "they" before I give someone that kind of access for as little as a buck that can be charged on a credit card.

I have used Mingleland for 15+ years and never been hacked by anyone who I have followed their recommended protocols.

My experience is Good people are patient and respect good common sense. They are glad to chat over time and then meet in a safe public place. Yea some People will fudge and use "dated" or "flattering" maybe even studio airbrushed photos but the basic information matches what they tell you over time.

The "bad" people always come up with some "crisis" mild or otherwise to get you on the phone or just give up when you catch them in a small lie. Since many scammers work from scripts they have on targets you could actually have several people "charming" you.

The often repeated thought is of it is too good to be true it probably isn't.

Real people have ordinary jobs. Ordinary looks. And the ordinary problems we all have. They have likes and dislikes. deadlines at least work hours. budgets, bills, and blues.

Someone can't fake the good life all the time if they are real but they shouldn't sound like a trainwreck either.

If their dream persona sounds just to close to your perfect it is probably because you have put it out there somewhere on the web and they have done their homework how to get to you.
