TAGG72: Hello all, I am going to write a book on the rules of Internet dating and I am looking for some input. I am looking for humorous stories or horror stories. Do's and don'ts. What makes a good or bad profile. Acronyms and their meanings. Success stories or psychos I have met. Personal opinions of different sites and the people who frequent them. Scam stories or urban myth stories.
If you would like your profile name included please let me know.
Please feel free to post your personal experiences or email me at tagg72@gmail.com, if the embarrassment is too much for publication.


Gidday All,

1... Use common sence and logic
2... Web cams can tell all, if not, phones calls. Refer to #1
3... If you can not drive there? Refer to #1
4... It should be 2 weeks before meeting. Refer to #1
5... If this seems to good to be true? Refer to #1

I could go on all night. I think rule #1 sounds like a plan.
If you follow your heart on the internet? NOT GOOD...

TAGG72: Martia, i don't deny that I am naive, but my internet address cost me nothing and if it gets overwhelmed with scams and spam, I will simply shut it down. You sound like you have some experience with scammers. I would be interested in your experiences.

Cheers

Naive, sitting duck.


No I haven't fallen for a scam but had a lot of fun setting them up so obvious at first, but now they are getting better but one thing they cannot hide is the Email address! they always ask for it on the first or second contact.
Go onto the international forums I know a few that have been ripped off on there.hug

Thanks Martia, I am going through some of the old forums and getting some good information. I have received a few emails from people as well. So it would seem there are people out there that have yet to be scammed. It is interesting that some users actually enjoy stringing the schemers along for a ride.
Anyway, stay vigilant and thanks again for your time.

Thanks Ric73.

People are obviously adverse to giving out their email addresses, how do you get their phone numbers or web cam details?

Wow personal insults now. We really are a tarnished lot aren't we.

My personal favourite so far,

Profile reads: God faring man, never been in a serious relationship, loves children and will welcome yours.
Translation: I'm a catholic priest.

Someone is going to hell.
