I have an interesting question of catfishing. How does this site deal with people who catfish? Are there preventative methods on this site?

There are sick people out there.

Why do people like that exist?!!!!?

Just be yourself!!!! The right person will fall in love with the real you! Seriously! Argh!

I'm not the prettiest woman in the world. I get that, but someone out there will appreciate me for me and for how I treat him.

I haven't found him yet, but I will. Whenever I find the courage and lasso to pull him closer! BECAUSE THEY ALL SEEM SO FAR AWAAAAAY, I will.

But for now. I have to be patient. Sometimes it's okay to walk at it alone for a little while.

They are drawn and quatered.

After it happens to you a couple times you'll be able to see the red flags.

The cats have moved off to deeper water for the winter. I look for catfishing to pick up in March.

There’s also a group for Online Dating, the reality that has good advice and interesting stories.

Come and join us in the trolls and scammers group. Excellent work takes place there under very strict rules.

Usually catch them very fast, and heckle them until they leave. Otherwise they get banned.

"Trolls, Scammers & Nigerian Russian Wives:Report Them Here" Read some of the pinned posts at the top.

This Sites Support Staff gets the reports from Agnostic members and handles it from there.
I'm positive the Site does their own due diligence as well but I'm not privy to how that goes on. (Maybe they'll tell you - but I doubt it because anyone could read this).

We help hunt them because it's a free site and those pretending to be members in good standing who are actually here to cause harm could really ruin it for the rest of us. (Or at least that's my motive).

I met someone during my first months here who had been taken for over $10,000 by a guy who said he had a pet needing surgery.
Not here on this site - but on another.

Stuff like that can happen on any social media or dating site.

Why not try to stop it if you see it or if they contact you? Seems the right thing to do.
Opinions may vary.

oh, I'm just asking out of curiosity...

Hey that's fine. Feel free to come over and look around. We don't bite and we like having new members.

That folks know we exist seems to help - so that if they see something - it at least gets reported. They know not to just keep it to themselves.

No one gets hurt by reporting them. It's always checked out. That much I'm positive of.
