We seem to have an unusually large number of scammers on this site lately. I didn't get any for quite awhile and now they are coming like locusts. I'm really pretty sick of it and I wish Admin would just make the free members wait until they've had a chance to validate them as REAL....like the location is real and the pictures match the description. Please....they post a pic of some blond model and say they have black eyes & black hair! LOL This tells me that they are either stupid, or they have more than one person working on the profiles so the info doesn't match.
The other kind are the guys posing as dudes in their 40's or 50's...AS IF that would appeal to most of us! DUH!!! Some of them write rather well, but if you put the grammar under the microscope, it's very poor. But then my second major in high school was INGRISH....otherwise known as English, so I wince in pain when I see I've omitted a comma or used a pronoun incorrectly. ;-)~
I don't claim to have this down to an art form, but if we all just report the emails we suspect as being scammers (TOS), we come closer to the GoCougar we want to experience. Even giving you their email addy (unsolicitated, in first PM) is a violation of TOS. Maybe we just should stop wasting time kavetching and DO something.
