Con artists would not post on a regular base in the forums

Good point, Larsi.

Thanks Cheesecake!!!

I am Not sure that is absolutely true Larsi ... and perhaps a false sense of security . Con artists are generally good at reeling people in over time . Always check out who you are connecting with .. regardless of whether they are a regular forum user or not ..

@Harry .. regardless of what a profile claims or how it appears ., if there is someone you are interested in .. Seek proof , as you get to know each other ask lots of questions and meet before forming too much of an online attachment . No one connecting online should be offended ... it is commonsense . Best of luck

Pretty much like most have said. Trust your intuition and ask questions.

verify using online chat sites that allows cam and microphone. Like videolinks2me dot com.

Okay, I got your point. Some scammers use time, to gain trust. Though the obvious ones are much more "blunt" (sorry about the wee pun), and ask straight away to go off site, and use Hangouts, Whatsapp, etc.

Self experience is much better than guidance.
