You Don’t know the Power of the Dark Side on Dating sites!
When your looking for that special someone you probably have been on several different sites. It however is nothing compared to some of the things I’ve seen. I’d get emails with the heading:
- Someone sent you a Flirt
- Someone’s Trying to Get in Touch With You!
- A Zoosk member would like to chat with you on Zoosk
- A Zoosk member sent you a flirt on Zoosk!
- Someone wants to meet you!
These are a few of the emails I would get from time on these sites. Some times it is a legit email and other times. You have to wonder who comes up with the email. Most of the time you get emails from people with phone numbers and email addresses they usually use “/” to avoid the filters on the said dating sites. Now here are a few observations from not being scammed on dating sites!
Ways to tell you it’s a fake profile!
It doesn’t make much since but these people who send you some stuff makes me worry. For example here are my tips to know if this is a spam and probably just a scam email in the same process.
- Gives out the Email address the first email!
- Gives out the text number to text them on the first email!
- They claim to be living in another country in the first or few emails in!
- The person profile isn’t complete!
- The picture on the profile is super hot!
These are just a few observations that tell me a profile is either fake, but it isn’t the only indication. Usually if I am curious I will still use one of my many email address specifically designed for the spam catching emails addresses. Just to see if this is a real person or not. You can usually tell by checking out the email headers. If you ever want to know for sure this is the best possible way to tell if this email is coming from Germany, Africa, or Some other country besides the one you are on. It just takes a little patients! Hope this helps you out!
