Hello everyone! I wish to know if you would support my suggestion.

I really hope CS will include the following:

1. I suggest that the date when a person creates an account with CS is indicated in his/her profile.

2. All emails of a person who is suspended from the website or leaves this website is retained by the receiver of the email so that it can be referred when necessary.

There are lots of scammers around and information such as the above would help CS members to recollect information, alert other members and also use as reference when CS is contacted. Scammers keep registering using new data but they are the same person. Members can identify such abusers of this website by seeing the similar pattern in their emails or private email information etc.

Lots of people are not going to want other to know how long they are here... maybe make that date an option to display or not?

I don't really see how your suggestions would be helpful in any way.

We're all pretty used to scammers, there is lots of information about them on this website already.

And comparing private emails?? Oh please!!! What if you get it wrong and publish an email of someone you suspect of being a scammer, but who isn't one??

Things are fine as they are, but of course you may suggest whatever you want to CS... dunno

I guess there's nothing stopping people copying their emails and pasting to another file if they want to keep copies.

I agree. As well, there are other sites where you could post information if you wanted too.

It would be totally unworkable. The list would be endless! All new members can do to be on their guard is to read the CS advice regarding scammers and keep updated on the forums.

In any case, many, many people have been suspended or banned who are most definitely not scammers.

I believe your suggestions have merit and are logical.Every single day I am messaged by young women who are 30 or 25 years my junior.They give me the same story.They "like my profile" etc.Then they give me their e-mail address expecting me to do likewise.Usually they have broken English like they are from Russia or someplace.I even had a woman who turned out to be from Nigeria actually give me her date of birth,her cellphone number and her e-mail address from the 1st e-mail and asked me for mine.On her profile she claims to be from Wisconsin U.S.A.,then in her e-mail said she was from Georgia U.S.A..The 2nd e-mail I got her to admit that she was from Nigeria.But...she claimed she was only there for studying.

Well said! This is what I encounter too. Yea, what are people 20 or 30 years younger wanting to 'get to know me'? They are always from 'U.K.' They must be an 'engineer' and either a widower or never mariied before. They will 'call' me on my mobile. Just fascinating aren't they?

Thank you for your generosity! A forum is for people to voice their concerns but the language used portrays the character. Bless you!
