I got a message from a really hot guy who says he'd like to get to know me. His name sounds American enough, but his message almost sounds like he's from another country. It just seems a little fishy to me. How do y'all tell if it's for real or not? dunno confused

Im sure the men folk will tell you that the easiest way of finding out if there legit is to get their telephone number and ring them at 3 am ..so their tired and cant think of any cover stories..

I been getting lately alot messages from ladies who they say live here in the states, but in reality they are from Africa. If they give you their email in their message to you, its a scam or spam.

Well if you like him give it a chance and send him a mail and ask him to tell you more about himself..you will find out within the first few mails if he is for real or not..

Usually a spammer will not answer the questions you ask him, but he will send a response that has not much to do with the mail you sent him..

YW wave

This reminded me of a mail I got yesterday..

My profile says that I am only here for friends, but some guy sent me a mail saying he really like my profile roll eyes laugh And that my profile shows my love for humanity confused rolling on the floor laughing

But the most interesting part is that I got exactly the same mail from him a month ago..which kind of shows that he has only one mail written and is copy-pasting it every time uh oh grin doh

I can usually tell by the grammar/syntax that makes no sense, the message stating that they think I'm so beautiful and I am the love of their life, and the inclusion of their yahoo email addy/IM id at the end. Yes, they usually choose a name that sounds American enough...but that's the only thing that sounds American about them.

If in doubt, delete it and block them. If they fool me in the first email, the second one always proves it.

Yeah...instead it's more about how in your beautiful eyes he's found his soulmate, etc.

I usually know because they try to convince me of what a God-fearing Christian they are and quote Bible stuff at me....HELLO, MY PROFILE ID IS "DRUIDESS"! doh
