They are asking you to send them an email to the gmail address in their profile.

Please be wary of doing so because if you go offsite and then have problems, we won't be able to help you.

hi,

beware - once you give your own email you will find that you may receive an email from a different person that the one you messaged on here complete with photos

one way to eliminate fake profiles of this type is that after a few emails casually mention to the person that in the near future you would like to do a Video call via WhatsApp or skype,

if the person makes excuses or says they don't have access to either or phone is broken this confirms straight away that the profile is fake,

this is a dating site - if they don't agree to a simple video call what chance do you have of a real meeting = None

Good luck

Not necessarily.

*I* do not have a video camera on my computer...and I do not have a cell phone (by choice).

So...don't make a blanket judgement.

P.S. Yes, I could probably go out and buy a video/ web camera to use (plugs in like a keyboard), but..why?
I don't really need one for any reason...

Fair enough comment and thank you,,,, but that situation will be in the minority,

the scenario I mentioned to other Guy Is what I have mostly encountered on here,

when emailed by someone with a different name and photo from the profile that's dis- honesty straight away,

school kids and old Grannies have smart phones and access to internet somewhere.

I can well afford a cell phone, but, as I said..don't need one, don't feel I am missing anything..
To each their own.

My computer works just fine for the internet, and...anyway..it has a bigger screen, much easier to read as one gets older....
Not so easy on a cigerette-pack sized phone...
Oh sure..you can scroll up dowqn and sideways..but, with my bigger screen...I don't need to do any of that...laugh

thanks for comment,

My original reply to Chan was not about people that genuinely don't have Mobile phones or WhatsApp or Internet or smart phones ,,,,

it was about receiving emails not from the person in the profile they responded to on first contact - If the profile is fake how can you believe anything they say in any following email or believe that any photo they supply is them,,, Thats all
