Please tell me how to meet someone if they live in another country or on another continent. And how can you recognize a scammer? Due to the growth of fraud in the world, due to the fact that the Internet can be used by both a good person and in the hands of a bad person, the Internet is a weapon, tears, grief and destruction. How can you recognize a good person? Everything in this world has become so complicated. Or does this situation, like a barometer, show that there is a lot of evil in the world and more bad people than good ones? I'm probably behind the times. But maybe there are some points to avoid getting into trouble. Of course, I'm not ready to invite the first person I meet home, but I'm just talking about believing in people and communicating normally. No one owes anything to anyone. I think there are at least a few people who have found their happiness at a distance and they are lucky. How did they recognize each other? Thank you very much.

Do NOT go off-site when a scammer suggests it.

There is no good reason why you cannot chat on M2.

If they seem too good to be true, pay attention to
your brain as it recognizes this.

Chat in the forums until you are sure of someone.

Scammers are not chatters, soon it will show.

Do not give out any personal information unless you have actually met up , in person !!!!
And yes , do not fall for any sob stories and pleas for help... this us the trade mark of a scammer !!!
Listen to your gut instincts!!!!

There are thousands of people locked up in Cambodia trying to scam you out of your money. Don't give them any.

You seem to have plenty of common sense, Lena. In my experience most scammers will ask you to communicate with them on another platform. It's like hyenas separating the weakest from the herd. There is never a good reason to completely leave this site (even if they "hardly ever use it"). Trust takes a while to build up. Meanwhile a polite interest usually suffices.

If I match with someone and they start the conversation off with a "Hello, dear." or a "Hi, handsome!" Or if they ask me to go off-site, then I block them immediately.
If I'm still uncertain of them before a conversation begins, then I'll run their photos through Google Lens, which often tells me that they're not who they say they are.
