I been here a while and I haven't had a problem.
What is this elaborate date scam? Confused
Maybe it's so elaborate that I've been scammed and didn't even notice it? Mad

There is a whole section dedicated to scammers and spammers. You can see any that other people might have flagged, and can flag them yourself.

I block countries that are more likely to produce scammers, but there might be a few that 'would like to meet me' ticked 'cos they can't message me any other way haha!

Only one problem blocking countries is that a lot of the scammers register with fake locations, so slip through, pretending to be in the UK or somewhere else that doesnt seem to shout SCAMMER. Confused

does it work that way? I'd always thought that it would work by blocking ip addresses, that would work no matter what country they claim to be from.
