Topic: FALSE FLAGS "1 new person liked you on Mingle2!" | |
---|---|
I am wondering if anyone else is getting messages like the ones I have been getting lately;
"1 new person liked you on Mingle2!" It's been a few days in a row, so today I decidedd to test the system. Here is the method I used: You are taken to a page showing a potential match & are given a choice, but before choosing I clicked on their named witch provided me with the last time they were on line. Everyone read; "hadn't seen in over a month" except for the very 1st one which I clicked "LIKED" before going to their name. She was current. Which means we should have been a match. That did not happen. Anyone have any thoughts on this? |

I have just returned to Mingle after the death of wife that I met here in 2009. It’s a very different experience.
Yes, almost every time I log in I get ‘people that liked you’. Way out of my age and distance preferences. I don’t even look at their profiles. I don’t know what to expect here. The forums used to be the place to get to chat with people, get to know them. Get a feel for them before going to private chats or emails. How long were the forums deactivated? |

Pro tip (christ, can't believe I said that here) - get a browser that has an image search plug-in, open the image in a new tab, then image search on whatever picture it is they've shared...
>95% of any women on here are fake, if not more... Past that, if you don't get a match, have a go with a Turing test. Case in point, a "local" match a few months back as we rolled in a cyclone, I asked if they were safe in the major event (it was 100% news) and they asked what event that was... lol. Sad fact, it's us and the bots here just about entirely. |

I get those e-mails from Mingle 2 saying someone would like to meet you (with a number listed) and for the most part I just ignore it and you can do the same with the someone liked you. You don’t have to reply to it.

Report them and watch how many DON'T get removed, can't say more or get banned again |
