Hi, I'm not sure whether this topic has been discussed. I always receive the a group of emoji as Is this a scam or just common for guys to send it? As receiving it's too many same emoji like this, so want to ask if it's common or it's a scam?

I am getting that a lot. I think it is from men who have no imagination.

Perhaps English is not their first language ... or they are shy . Send them a message if you feel inclined ., their reply will likely help you decide . Best of luck

Guys, I don't know how to quote all your message... I think I will just reply those that look sincere if there is description on profile. The empty profile I will just ignore. Well, I think mostly like what "notlooking" said, mostly they are scammers, lol

Just hit quote on the one you want to reply to and your message screen will open up. Go to the very bottom after it says /quote and you can put your reply.

I've been getting loads of messages with the same approx 6-7 emojis for weeks. I reported them for a while, but they couldn't get hold of anything so I stopped reporting. I now just delete. And yes, these are scammers, like a spambot that does it by the hundreds. The short message is always the same too, then it ends with these emojis. Always the same ones, same following order. These are the emojis I keep getting over and over and over. ! Highly annoying and a shame Mingle cannot / doesn't do anything about it.

It's a scammer signature. They're all using it of late.

But I don't know how to quote more than two messages, I know how to quote one message but I actually want to few, how to do it?

Yeah, I got so many in a day with different people, and thinking is that a trend or being targeted and scammers just lack of creativity and all the messages are the same, lol

Indeed delete and forget about it, however annoying it is. It does seem to be a new spambot trend.

It’s just an automated message on here that people can send , mostly for people just trying to make a connection or just don’t know what to say , or lazy to do their own message . It’s a thing suggested to them by Mingle2. So not , not necessarily a scam or bot thing . Maybe some use it but if you getting then mmm it doesn’t necessarily mean they are . I’ve made some good friends with people that initially messaged with one of these automated messages , they were just shy in not knowing what to say for first message

I take it if it was a Mingle's automated message she would've told me? And then I always would've gotten them on regular basis. it's something that is happening since some 2 months I think. And not just once, I got flooded.
