Yeah that and all the rest?? just a proper strange situation left work early as requested as we had a window of a few hours is all. Had to drive 2 half hours down the country and being consistently asked how long I’ll be just to go completely off the map. Opportunistic maybe

Sorry these happened to yiu, but any person asking for 'lend" of money before you've even met is a major red flag.

Just report to admin hopefully they get banned too many toe rags on the site only here for money and aren't real swingers

Yeah was blocked shortly after we started talking and then moved over to telegram chatting. but it wasn’t even worth her while what she went on with in the end but it was definitely done by design the more I think about it but it was for pennies

Plenty odd and manipulative people on here. Put it down to experience and next time be more cautious.

Yes a young couple tried to do it, but they found I was a lot a lot more knowledgeable than they thought and had to return the money very quickly. She pleaded poverty and asked me to help out with funds until payday but then failed to return the money. I’m not normally that generous or trusting with anyone but I knew her late mother and so I felt sorry for her and initially trusted her.

I often wonder what criteria you have to meet before someone asks for money or favours?

I've been here since 2016 and never been asked.

I've been asked for money by a few young female accounts but since I've no interest in young females I tend to block them

There was a guy 4 or 5 years ago who told us all on the forums about how much money he was making share dealing and tried to get people to give him money to start an investment club

He didn't last long

I thing someone gave him the nickname The Stockbroker

Be Careful of Mariposa2025 scam page. Gets people to book hotel rooms and then goes offline

I can see people getting catfished as there are alot of fake profiles on here. Obviously that could cost you in terms of outlay for hotels. Scammed to me would be different as it would require someone asking for money for something or to invest in something and you would hope that people are learning to be more aware of this. There are so many warnings in the media now. It's definitely not nice when it happens to someone

Really, where's the sense in booking a hotel room to meet a stranger who you don't know if you'll fancy, nevermind if they actually exist?

I struggle to empathise, I really do. Mrs.

Agreed.

Along with sending money to a stranger prior to a meet for them to buy stuff…nah I’m sorry but self respect has to come into play.

We had video called and chatted pretty consistently over the phone before any in person meeting was brought to the table and established. Empathy and pity isn’t what I’m seeking just interested in finding out if anyone had a similar experience as to what happened with me

I offered to foot the cost of the goods she had originally wanted me to pick up myself before hand so I thought that I could save time by getting her to grab the bits and pieces while I was on the way so I had offered to send the money it wasn’t even asked off me so the idea of self respect wasn’t necessarily a factor it was a matter of convenience

I would have thought being asked for money by a stranger would sound alarm there are people i know well and would not lend them a euro as they have a reputation for not paying back. Common sence guys

Was he gullible? Sure but it sounds like he was preyed on for his loneliness. I've not went that far but I've been in the same spot before. A woman wanted me to pay for her nails and hair for a first date. Sure it sounds ridiculous out loud but if you've been alone -not just single but alone, you'd sympathize a bit.

Not myself no. But does anyone remember Irish Swingers Club? There were hefty membership fees for weekly events that never seemed to actually happen
