Hi everybody,
I'm here in cold Canada & have chatted to some wonderful people on here.
I would like to suggest to everybody to please be aware that most of the girls that say they are in the USA, Canada or Australia, yet have a UK city listed on their profile are scams. 5 or 6 have already tried to get money from me.
I got caught out several years ago & am now very aware of the writing styles & build up they use.
Have fun & please be very careful with your wallet.

Welcome to CM...and reality!

Have a gander at the most recent "scam thread" HERE
The search feature in the upper right-hand corner will provide you even more threads on this topic.

The world wide web....not for the faint of heart. Stay warm up north there in Canada and enjoy your stay here at the funhouse.

thanks carrie,
I'm up on most of them, if they are model pretty, proffessional pics, 2 willing to move & all appear to be penned by the same eastern european, chances are it's a scam.

And yeah, if there's not someone trying to scam you on a daily basis, there's got to be something wrong.

You do know blacklisting isn't allowed...read HERE and find out why.

Also, the big red letters that say "DO NOT SEND MONEY TO OTHER USERS FOR ANY REASON!" should be enough warning for any person with an ounce of common sense.
