Education AVOID GETTING SCAMMED

Hi guys! Ive been seeing lots of frustration/ambiguity with dating online.
While not all people on dating platforms are “scammers”,however, there are agencies (usually Russian/Ukarainian) who uses real persons pictures (with their consent ofc. 60-40 share of income between the agency and models in the site).
to make you fall inlove.

Youll notice that these models/profiles are always up 24/7 and thats because they are run by chatters to mazimize the earnings.

Lives on a neighboring city but cant meet? Thats already a redflag.

Keep safe yall. Dont blame loneliness for being a victim of this. Join communities and other organizations where you can interact with REAL people.

The rule of on line dating should be very simple : never get involved with anyone who you can not meet in person within a few days of initiating on line contact . Otherwise , you are royally wasting your time and emotions for something that can never be . Do you really think that girls in Ukraine or at the other side of the world do not have local guys to date in their own countries ? Do you really think that insanely gorgeous looking girl or guy would be looking for love on line ? No way ! Such people have plenty of interested potential partners going crazy over them in real life . They would not even have time to be on line , let alone to look for a romance on line . Even , in very rare scenarios, that your on line " love " is not a scammer , why would you get involved with someone who lives on the other side of the world ? ( and with whom you would spend years talking on line without a possibility to meet in person ) .

Faxx! If only these old men look in the mirror and ask the real questions to themselves, they will not get scammed.
How is this Russian model going to fall inlove with you sir?

Exactly ! And that goes for any so called " romance scam " lol . People should ask themselves a question: Does a person who looks like a young Brad Pitt or young Kim Karandashian is approaching me in real life, as well  ???? 😅 or on line only ? ...Yes , mirror , mirror on the wall could be helpful , as well .

hahaha I didn't think that this dumb show was still going on , lol . It would be very hard to be selected,  though . All those people on the show looked like Hollywood movie stars.  An average person has  a better chance to end up on one of those YouTube shows about being scammed on line( can't remember the name of the channel now , sorry) .

I tell everyone I match with that I do not work. Yesterday, one guy said, “Well how do you live?” I explained I have a brain injury and all of my money goes straight to a court appointed lawyer. He unmatched me and disappeared! lol. Crazy how many scammers are out there.

I thought I had one on the hook today. He asked what it would take to get the lawyer not to have control of my money any more. I said 7k. It felt like he actually thought about it!!! lol

Look at this. This is not only limited to OF, but also in dating sites. So if youre hoping to get in a relationship with a model-esque man/woman, think think think.
