A warning... (6)

i met them here, they got me onto off-site email, then onto a certain(i see from the rules im not allowed to name specific sites, but i think you can guess which one)media site...thanks for the good wishes, and as you say, we live and learn

So... what are you saying here?

Don't talk to anyone anymore because 1 person was mean to you?

Wake up and smell the cookies, everyone gossips about everyone here and in real life. Just move on.

I have long list of blockees its the nature of all sites paid or free.
If someone is truly interested skype or meet up quick solves lots of probs.
If you only after pen friends that is a different ball game.

Good luck for future though

Well Ronnie, that's what the "block" button is for after all, otherwise it wouldn't be there! I've also had to block someone recently, after five weeks of correspondence both on this site, and after about 3 weeks on Skype and via email before he turned out to be a scammer.

It's not too hard to block them, is it. Skype has that button, and so does my email account. I think that, because this site is free, there are probably more scammers on here than on those that have to be paid for. We just have to be vigilant and not give out too much personal information. I would NEVER allow a contact on here access to my social media pages, because that gives them access to all of my friends.

I uncovered the scam when he wanted my address... allegedly to send me $2 million in cash!!!

Chin up Ronnie, don't give up, there are plenty of us genuine ones out there.
