"The fact you asked this tells me that you need to put your dick away and wake up. Good grief. " This is out of order, anyone can be taken in, anyone. Would you say this to the countless people that have been taken in by romance scams? | |||

"Yes, 100 per cent sounds like a scam. The app that you were asked to use to chat, I’m guessing that it began and ended with a k? " And I bet the account was like 22 days old… | |||

If I get conclusive evidence it will be past on to admin to deal with. We aren’t a vigilante society yet. | |||

Would you say this to the countless people that have been taken in by romance scams? " Yes. Totally. Never trust anything on internet as it can be faked. People have emotional weakness and scammers manipulation ate it. | |||

"You'll probably have credit cards and all sorts in your name now, don't be surprised if bailiffs or the rozzers turn up at your house further down the line." This is possible OP, you should inform your bank and other institutions that use your data. | |||

" It’s quite obvious that they are not genuine As soon as they asked to switch to another website sort of sounds like a tea bell Then to ask for money! Definate lunchtime bell Asking for personal information!! Full blown tornado warning!! I do hope you blanked out your address and drivers number before sending it to them!! Name and shame as someone else might not be as vigilant as you | |||

"Recently I contacted a member who had only been on the site for around a month about meeting. I will not yet reveal this persons details in case I’m wrong. After an interrogation from them about why I didn’t have any verifications, they agreed to meet. Now on their profile they stated all arrangements would be done on another (external) messaging system. As I had this app on my phone I agreed thinking this person was just being safety conscious about their information. So we arrange a date and I was asked to find a hotel close to them which I did. They asked if I wanted go 50/50 with them but me being me said I would cover the cost. Now here’s the suspicions but. They wanted to book and pay for the hotel then for me to transfer the money into their bank account. Naturally I refused to send money to a complete stranger and said I would pay the hotel direct. To that end they then wanted me to send them a photo of my licence for their safety. With trepidation I agreed to this. The next day they cancelled the meeting saying more than two people had told them I was a time waster and named and shamed others. I was speechless as I pride myself on my honesty and integrity So I hand it to you. Do you think this was a scam or not? Have you had a similar experience? No names please. I’ve notified admin and asked them to keep an eye on this person. " Fella read your own post 3 times. "RED FLAGS EVERYWHERE" MORE THAN A SCAM YOUR BEING GROOMED FULLY. " | |||

"Sounds completely like a scam anyone asking for ID before a meet would be told to go to hell that is a massive red flag. And it doesnt insure they are any safer it just means they now have your details .In fact the minute they asked for the money to be sent to them I would have stopped the chat immediately. I really don't understand why people jump through hoops on here in the hope of a meet. If someone is making you do that then they aren't interested. And rather than book a hotel straight away when you don't know the person have a social meet first. It may not suit everyone to do that but it saves you money if you don't get on or they cancel or ghost you. " I always ask for a social meet first. If someone doesn’t have half an hour to meet for a coffee or drink in a pub, nothing else is ever going to happen | |||

"Golly, so many self congratulatory , omnipotent, omniscient posts on here. Based on the responses on this thread it's amazing that the fraudsters haven't already packed up and gone home as they are clearly wasting their time with this crew. OP, I am sorry for your experience. If you wipe the smugness off some of the posts there is some sound advice underneath. Fraudsters rely on their targets getting caught up in the moment and stepping over their instinctive reactions to do things they would never usually countenance. It happens to smart people, every single day. Easy to see when it's written down and you are on the sideline eating popcorn,not so simple when a relationship is being established and desires cloud objective judgement. Go easy on yourself." Definitely this. OP, We can’t all be absolutely perfect and all knowing. Personally, I’ve clicked the link when I’ve had a message claiming to be from Royal Mail saying I needed to pay for re delivery. I’ve actually done it twice! | |||

Thanks for your wise words. I know many will disagree with this but I do consider my self scam aware. I’ve foiled many scam attempts in the past. On here and from texts, emails etc. The person was making all the right sounds and even after they had my details. This is why I am still not 100% convinced (90%though) and why I was asking if anyone else has had a very similar experience recently. It’s very easy to sit on the sidelines to criticise and make judgments. | |||

It’s very easy to sit on the sidelines to criticise and make judgments. " Some couples have posted on the forums that they demand proof of identity before they will meet someone. So it's still possible they are real and with no dodgy intent and maybe just chickened out. I'd definitely see if you can get a replacement licence. Hope it doesn't end up causing you any issues. | |||

"Something I didn’t think to add in my original post is this person is a site supporter and photo verified. Apologies for any unintentional miss direction. I have a copy of an excerpt of the conversation (persons identity edited out by me) but unfortunately I can’t post it here. " There are quite a few accounts that are photo veried that are fake accounts so I would never rely on photo Veri to prove anything on here. Site support is a few quid so scammers will easily spend that to make more . There is no right or wrong way to find out if someone is genuine but anyone asking for money should always be a red flag even if they claim it's to cover a hotel cost. You did the right thing by not sending money at that stage. I don't think anyone wants to see the conversation you had with them , you're the one who chatted and you believed them that's all that matters. Personally I give out no personal info on here and I certainly wouldn't prove who I am to anyone on here people either want to meet or not if they expect me to jump through hoops they would be ignored.No meet is worth that on here. | |||
