Vanity, you're not alone. I got a lot of these too. I still get the obvious scammer ones...but only in email, I turned my IM off. I did try to be friends with a couple of men from overseas that emailed me, but I made it clear that it was only friends, and we didn't end up talking for long...they weren't regulars in the forums, so it was hard to keep a conversation going.

Tell these gentlemen that you have seven children at home all under the age of eightteen. That will take care of them.

If someone's in the forums regular i don't mind talking to em. i just don't understand the complete strangers from across the world saying they love me and want to marry me. maybe we should take em up on their offers! can it be any worse than what we've had so far !!!
Just ignore them , i get the same thing from young women , especially from Gahana East Africa. What would they want from a 70 year old man besides money or a US Visa. I report them as scammers and move on.

vanitystorm: i just do see how a complete stranger from way over there would want to talk to me on a dating site. it's gotta be scammers.
Not necessarily, Vanity..
This is an international dating site, as we all know, so we just contact who we find interesting or attractive, wherever they are from. They may just want to be pen pals, at the very least..
I have made friends from all over the world here, and Im glad that I didnt block them straight away, because they were thousands of miles away, because Ive now got some great pals.
Some may be scammers, but not all, so we all just have to use our common sense and weed out the weeds, so to speak!!
