On another site, I was emailed out of the blue by a woman with seemingly poor English skills. Her profile showed a very attractive, slender caucasian woman with red hair, around 30. In her profile she described herself as a "chunky chick." She claimed to be looking for an average Joe. The first email I got from her said something like "I want talk to you" and that was it. I responded, asking a few questions. She replied again, asking to meet me and wanting my email address. She phrased it "I want meet your." I responded saying that we should communicate only via the site and I asked if she was from a foreign country. Then, when I checked my inbox and sent messages I found all of hers gone, and I never deleted them! I searched by username, and the profile was gone.
I hope this is helpful in case she tries out her scam on mingle2.

The name used was Ssaara, but I doubt she will use it again. The broken English and aggressiveness raised red flags right away.

CY is correct here. We do not tolerate scammers. We will ban them without notice. We do ask, that members report suspected scammers. We do not want mingle2 user names to be posted on the forums. In this case, i will allow it, since we banned this person over a year ago.

The reason for this is, that we are the only ones with the tools to determine the validity of the claim. People have been falsely accused before, and we want to avoid that.

Thanks.
