Are they real? (15)
fathomJurien Bay, Western Australia Australia1 Threads 5 PostsHi. I'm a newby here and to this online dating scene. I'm a little concerned about some mail I receive, some ladies...well almost all want me to email them at a different place after viewing my profile. I check "who has viewed me" and they are not on the list of who has viewed my profile so I'm guessing they are trying to scam me? or am I just paranoid of being scammed/spammed etc.?
If they send an email address... block em they are scammers
Thanks Shell225, I thought that would be the situation, Fyou scammers, leave me alone I dont need to be hassled, Shell, should I flag these types of people to help this site?

Whatever makes you feel happy. I just block anyone who sends an email address in the first two emails. Or whose profile looks like its been made up.
I also have filters on so that certain countries cant contact me.

I put on my profile that i will not reply to personals like yahoo etc. If i get a contact like that i reply "IDIOT" then block.

If it looks too good to be true , it is ,If they love you immediatly they dont, If they wanna chat elsewhere there fake , trust your insticts this place like many sites are crawling with them looking for the naive and gullable , I personally like to put a curse on them leave them with something to think about lol

many r scammers n some r not. Many will use other services such as yahoo emails as they are allot easier to access, then logging on here every time & using up their internet usage by loading these pages. The mail order brides r not cheap n they come with no guarantee. To bring one over u are looking around 30 g…. plus other expenses.

lots of ways Blonde.. either they have their own WVM turned off in which case they dont show up on your list.
Or they are offline and have a sneaky at your profile and then go online and send the message.
I am sure there are other ways to silently stalk people..but these are the only two I use
uptall: what about skype
I have done Skype. I was refering to personal emails and phone numbers. Why do people say its to hard to email through this site. bonsai: I have done Skype. I was refering to personal emails and phone numbers. Why do people say its to hard to email through this site.

What else can you do but laugh.bonsai: I have done Skype. I was refering to personal emails and phone numbers. Why do people say its to hard to email through this site.
In my opinion anyone who says that to me is a scammer and gets blocked.
