I was recently talking to a man who was listed as London. He sent me pics of himself and other gifts. Then went and spoilt it all by asking for money and when i said no.....surprise surprise no contact. Went from getting daily e mails to nothing!!!!

Hi Dowen

For these types of profiles, it would be useful if you could post the user id of the person so that the site owner can investigate and remove if necessary.

Its happened to me about 6 or 7 times in the past, especially when you are new, they target you, I know what to look for now & dont fall for any of that crap anymore Confused

Yeah, I guess most of us have wasted some time on these scammers, but I'm used to them now as well. On any newsite I go on, they usually account for the majority of 'my 1st mailings'.....can't stand all that god fearing, honest woman, soulmate.......etc.
