Beware of Love Scams
We have had a growing number of people soliciting romance from members of this board including yours truly. We realize that many lasting relationships have been formed online, but please be careful of those who are scammers and remember that this is not a singles board.
How do you spot these scammers?
1. They contact you out of the blue
2. They tell you how attractive you are despite having no personal photo
3. They tell you how impressed they are by your profile despite having little information in it
Any other tips you have to offer are welcome.
The two men who have approached me are either scammers or have an odd infatuation with the Queen of Hearts because they have commented on my good looks.
Safe and happy surfing,
Seraphim

They will put up a fake picture. They even reference some lds things (they are getting smarter), but there will be something a little off in what they say.
