If I find someone interesting I give my email at once because I hide my profile often here and can't handle too much communitaction. It's easier for me to have a couple of people to concentrate on than answer a lot of massages to americans who even don't read my profile. When we run out of subjects to talk about with my pen pals I come back and find someone new.

In most cases it is very easy to recongnize who is a scammer, in doubtful cases I just say that they are wasting their time with me, I will NEVER send money and cash your cheques. Be careful to send pictures to anyone, I have noticed that some scammers have a lot of natural(sometimes more than 15), not modelly pictures. I think in the cases when they can't have money they use pictures you send them to defraud another person and pretend to be you.

well, one shouldn't be paranoid, maybe he wanted just pictures. that he wants to fly and meet you it's a good sign, he may need to know if that is worth flying for you. People on CS are too paranoid and suspicious for everything no wonder some of them never meet in person, too much suspicion.

I hear that if you give out your email address they can hack your contact list and such. If they ask for my email address right off the bat, I delete them instantly. End of story.

I tell them i'm going to report them, which i do. They don't like me very much after that.

No absolutely not. I have been through that many times on here and they stop chatting with you when you don't give them your email addy. I for one do not care whether they get upset or testy, won't give it period.

I think in most cases you develop that gut feeling who is a scammer, who is not, just because he asks for your email at once or for your pictures he doesn't have to be a scammer but he can. it's easier to block everyone suspicious

I know people from this site who developed a relationship in different countries(continents) far away and moved together.

Scams are a big Industry these Days! And if they can't scam you,they will sell your Picture and E-Mail Addy anyway.
I wouldnt give my email out on the first message,in fact i dont even reply to those that ask for it..If they are interested in you then im sure they would happily send you messages for a while untill you got to know each other then you could decide what kind of contact you choose then.I think email scamming is one of the easiest to do..
