Just want to enlighten members to potential scams. From a male point of view,especially the older members,I would estimate that 80% of potential partners of 30-39yrs responding to an age group of 50 plus are potential scams! Nothing wrong with the site...just the world we live in! Anyone agree?

Yes. You see that little red mailbox and think - ah - this might be something exciting and then....it's just a scammer AGAIN. Block, Delete. But, yes, it is actually more often a scammer than not.
Do look at other threads on here regarding scammer and view the information at the top of the site. You can change your settings so that you won't receive so many.

I usually get messages from females ??? (most likely not) in the 20 to 35 year old range and usually in the first message, but sometimes they wait until the second or third, they will want you to go to their e-mail address with some lame excuse as to why they can't correspond on here...My rule of thumb is as soon as they ask for that I block and delete. Report them if you feel so inclined , but I can't be bothered with that anymore as I get so many...

Here's an excerpt from a good one I just received, looks like I can go down and buy a new car today...
Consequently won in the First Category among other winners. You have therefore been awarded a lump sum pay out of Five Hundred Thousand Euro (€ 500,000.00) which is the winning payout for Category A winners. Your fund is now deposited with the paying Bank.

Correct.
You'll learn to recognize them. Not a rocket science.
