How does anybody find anyone on this site ?
I've been on it for 2 weeks and everyone I chat with ended
Up being a scammer, almost 50 of them, haven't talked to anybody
That was real yet.
How do you guys find legit people to talk too, just curious because I
can't find a single one; really frustrated right now

Hi Lon T. I came across the same thing so have decided to keep with people from my own country. This does not stop the scamming but I am more able to check their story out if they are lvivng in a small country like mine ;)

LOL

I have had tons of scammer dudes stating that they are from TX or NY.....with their stupid fake model-perfect pictures that are easily checked (do an image search) to verify they were stolen from other sites

Hi Lon & welcome!
There really are a lot of legit people on this site. I have made friends with quite a few people on here. Try setting your filters, this will help some. You will still receive messages from undesirables, but it will be easier to handle and sort thru. You can also report them to the site admins.

Good luck and happy Mingling drinks

I've been on here just over 2 weeks and haven't found a single legit one yet; over 50 conversations, didn't take long to figure them out, can't spell, won't send proof of their identity, I'll ask them to take a selfie right now with a piece of paper saying ITS ME on it holding it up to their face and all of them would want to argue about it, so pissed off right now.
Every other site I've been under is pretty much the same thing
I think I'm about done with this crap; wasted money for nothing

What did you do with the filters to eliminate some of them ????

We ask that all members use the Report System that is in place.. When they contact you Report them then block them.. That way they can not contact you back and Admin will look at the Report..

We ask that members do not use the forums to discuss this we have hints and warnings within the Mingle2 blog. Doing so only educates them more.

Due to we provide a Report System we do not allow the forums to report problems..

With that sad this thread will be locked and deleted later..

Set your filters for your area that will help..
