Most of my experiences on these dating sites have been along the lines of scams. Not on this site though... yet. I have never been dubped, fooled or pulled into any of it though. I have deliberately strung some along just to see where it leads. In most cases it goes nowhere so I am not sure what the scam is. I have had one ask me to start cashing checks for her so she can get back to the US. Most send very generic emails and want you to immediately email them at their email address. If you ask them very specific questions like "where do you live?" and "what exactly about my profile attracted you to me?" they never answer and send what are obviously readymade emails in broken English. The following is the most recent generic sounding email I have received just as an example. Never trust anything that reads like this:
Hello! Good surprise to receive yours e-mail :) I am pleased, thank
you for contacting me. I like your profile more interesting than
others. I hope you have time to send me some messages and we could to
learn each other. well.. a little about me, i am 26 years old, also
friends name me as Marta. I was never married I live with my parents. I have good job. I work as seller in a dress shop. I very much like my work. The most intense days it is Friday, Saturday, Sunday and holidays. Tell to me about the work. Do you like your work? I love amusement parks, outdoor activities, sports, travel, listening to music, concerts, movies, swimming, some socializing with friends at bars or clubs but not too often, I love comedy movies the best I like romance,action. I like music from the different. I like some top music, some rock, disco music, live music, and occasionally romantic music. I like to dance very much.
