JAN_is: ....to recognise multiple profilers or returners under a different guise, yet I´m always surprised that few people seem to be able to recognise it. I generally know the few who do always recognise them, but I don´t normally write about it to them in private to confirm our mutual suspicions. Sometimes I have with people I feel I can trust though.
I notice the style in which people write, and the vocabulary they use (along with the grammatical errors sometimes!) perhaps my job as an English teacher helps me more than others here, and the fact that I´ve been a member for longer than most, but I also often notice the use of specific emoticons, it´s a dead giveaway, and this has nothing at all to do with my job.
Having been around on and off for over 5 years of course there have been instances of this throughout that time, but lately, probably in the past year or so, there has been much more of this going on here, and it really wears my usually limitless patience.
It just isn´t fun anymore quite honestly when you feel you can´t trust anyone or aren´t sure if you are actually responding to a real person.
Anyone else feel the same way?

supersausage: Hay miss marple stop being pedantic and get a life
I have one thankfully and therefore don´t visit here as regularly as some but I do recognise the trolls and underhand things going on here.
Perhaps you should get a life or education before you make stupid comments about somebody you do not know.

JAN_is: It´s not that it worries me, I´m not around 24/7, but I really do find it unjust and it clearly hurts a lot of people. I also think that those who have been affected in the forums by such idiots, male and female I hasten to add, have to deal with the "no smoke without fire" thoughts and comments by newer members who have no or little knowledge of the membership.
Hi Jan
I'm a newbie on this site and I can assure you I have only one profile here. I have been online dating and personals sites for almost ten years. At first just looking for friends/chatting but now I'm looking for something more serious and also to find some good friends. Hope to find a few here. I see more scammers today, not many when I was online ten years ago.

You misunderstand me. When I say educated I mean polite not academically intelligent and it´s clear from his post he is not.
Educado in Spanish refers to being polite or well mannered.

Hi Jan,
Yes, the style and language used, give such persons away every time. When I've mentioned it to certain people, suddenly that 'new' profile would mysteriously disappear.

I don't worry about it or care. Spend my energy elsewhere rather than ferreting out in an online venue like this who is who or isn't. Just don't care.

Whereas, this comment: "Perhaps you should get a life or education before you make stupid comments about somebody you do not know." is really polite.

Honestly, don't let it worry you. This is a free site after-all, it's not like we are all being conned out of our money, by these fakers.
