| Post subject: | Scams to watch out for? (Dating sites) |
Hi guys. In parallel to my RL sarging, I've tentatively put myself out there in the online dating world. I'm a little concerned about some profiles I've seen and - yes - responded to. The site is one where you have to purchase tokens to communicate with other members. In it, the person says "im only a standard member here so email me and leave your mobile and I'll contact you". Yesterday I contacted her and left my details, received a system-email response from her, but no call/text yet. This evening I discovered another attractive profile. Now let's compare and contrast the two and perhaps you'll see why I was suspicious Usernames: ******2617, ******2617 Intro1: looking for a nice guy here and a man who,s interetsde to have coffee with me in my house... Intro2: looking for a nice guy interetsde to meet up and have dinner with me.... Music1: RnB Music2: RnB... Fave Movie1: Walk to Remember Fave Movie2: Walk to Remember Final Paragraph1: .if your intersed to meet up and have a coffee in my hows just live me yoru name and mobile number coz im a standard member here and cant message you...muah Final Paragraph2: im a standard member here and cant message you if your interested to meet up and have dinner with me...just live me your mobile number and name..i will contact you there. Now this could be a few things. 1. They are roomies (2617 references local postcode) 2. They are the same person, with two separate profiles/pics. 3. It's a front for escorts. 4. ??? The best case scenario is that they're roomies with bad english (both are asian - Japanese and Malaysian). Worst case they're escorts or i don't know what. Any idea guys? Should I avoid them with a 10ft pole? They're both HB8/9 in my books. Ahhh the temptation! Thanks upfront for any advice. |

these are clearly just a scam. shouldnt leave any details. also look out for random people who message you and dont message back when you speak to them. what theyll do is message after your subscription runs out so you buy another one, then guess what. no more messages even after youve paid. to be totally honest, match.com is the best by far. closely followed by parship. i decided to go onto the dating world as well, havwent bought an account but im pissed off i didnt. lol, theres a hb9 whos a perfect match. she lives close by, and she seems genuinely nice. she actually has a list of tbooks shes read. no girls have that hahaha. the last book she read was the selfish gene by richard dawkins. thats a pickup suggested book! i wish id paid for a subscription, but tbh, shes 21 and im 18, and i look about 16 so i doubt it would have gone far. but then again, you regret more things you dont do than things you do so what the hell! dont goive your details out so readily anyway btw, it shows desperation |

Cheers for the reply. I've gotta learn how to apply real life negging, dhv's, etc to the online world. On this site in particular you're already on the back foot because you have to make the first move and pay to do so. |

adult friend finder is a HUGE scam as well. Honestly, if they are asking for money up front, and especially if they have any sort of "pyramid" scheme for the membership setup, then just dont even bother. Advertising alone is enough these days to make huge profits for these sites. Just look at facebook. |
