K I'm over all the give me your cell and download this app. Lots of pressure that's a definite turn off. Thoughts?

Read your default mail message from mingle2. It's a free dating service, exploiters try to take advantage of it. Learn to recognize the exploiters, talk to the real peeps.

Thanks I'm a newbie

Yeah, it's a turn off for me when a guy wants a number or text right away. I don't understand why people do that.

I was skyping a great gal but every time I shut it down I cant get back on. Set it up again and the same thing happened.

i hate that program. lol

When someone does that right away it's a typical scammer red flag.

Thanks Blondey111

Thanks Blondey111

Does the same go for email ? I gave someone my email last night and now I am worried.

it does lisa unless you have been chatting for a while and have developed some trust.

but if it was in a fist message then bad very very bad

Thoughts:

Set your email restrictions. That helps cut down on the BS...

Use common sense...

Well not to defend the scoundrels but who could blame them, you're gorgeous

I don't want your number by the way, not yet not unless you tell me I should be a body double for Gerard Butler :)

I wouldn't want your number without knowing how much you're worth first

Welcome Miss Newbie, enjoy your stay

Thank you for the warning and thank you StormMessages :)

simplest rule of thumb is if they want you to go off site right away there is a reason and it is not good

Not sure what email you've got, i.e. Gmail, yahoo mail etc but if you start getting funny emails you can get them blocked. I mean they won't even go into junk, they just won't arrive at all.
If you do get any strange ones just have a look at your settings and click block on that email, they'll soon stop, hopefully.

i havent given out any personal info. i just think its weird to even ask that right away

I met a gal via craigslist some years back. She was very quick to request call.

Turned out she is local to me, a nurse, a homeowner, Single Mom with 2 Daughters in University.

She is cool Lady but not for me it turned out.

So....Sometimes people are just too busy to be online and what have you.

I think she said...Just call me". I called her.

No days though, sc amm ers often want phone number. Let's understand some of us utilize 2-Step Authentication accounts = Phone #.

Face Book up and coming rats nest of similar BS.

I am sure you know to create and use Trash email address?
Not connected to any other email of course.

Gmail you can interlink emails one to another. I do that with my business emails / personal. I do not link my trash email with those others. IF one does so, that will someday be hit for the crooks I guess?

Yeah, I get that thing every so often from guys where we are sending messages over the course of a few hours, or maybe a day. If I don't write back within 20 or 30 minutes, he'll say, "this is taking too long. Gimmie your email or phone so we can text faster." Hate to say it, but I'm not going to message you any faster just because you have my number. You're gone.

Yup
