Not easily fooled but mistakes happen. Love research. Mingle2 (as of 10Mar14),I have no intention of renewing my subscription to the site. I hereby request you do not sell or promote my data to any other sites or databases. I found out that the chances of meeting a scammer here are high. Some are easiy to identify. Before you initiate chat with some google Frank Williams, Google Military Scammmers and Google Ideny Theft. Go to Help on this page and go through the how and what to do, if a person sounds to good to be true, love you on sight or wihin 24 or 48 hrs - beware - they are. Before you delete or deactivate, go to your profile and do as I did - Edit, disable features and deactivate. For sincere searchers, it is a shame sites are targeted. Good came out of this, the scammers showed me I was ready and able to move on. If you encounter a scammer - report it immediately, cease communications, advise not just the site but different organisations such as your communications provider, your email provider, facebook, skype, yahoo and any individual you find has had their ideny scammed, if they give you a VA zip code it is the code of an African Country. look for syntax errors, non-specific replies, delays inrespons, BUZZ, disappearing after a question to research what u said. The use of ur crzy brb, lower case I in sentences, spelling, not familar with slang.Your photo, your responses can be cut and pasted to use on another victim, change in writing style or not familiar with prior messages, what better source for material but from an honest and sincere person. Been ysing the text back and forth with gibson - more than two writers. One's style of writing bore a resemblance to Williams. Even now, I still get an email - was waiting for confirmation - phone number was to Romania and the company he said he was with has no offices there. Report to: at www.ic3.gov and fbi.gov/homepage.htm spam at vce.gov if international, report to emby which will link. I went to homepage of company ideny was used and provided details as well as reporting crimestoppers. My goal is to end bullying and violence in life and the scammers know that. I forgive them "beware of the wolf in a sheeps clothing". I will use what I have learnt to create material for use to make scamming financially cost prohibited. I called Chris Gibson, Republican Representative from NY to advise him of the use of his ideny by a scammer I reported to Mingle2. He used the following yahoo emails, briangibson1603 and brianwaynegibson was actively using as of 6 mar14. do not call phone numbers, watch for inconsistencies between chat and profile. Watch for change in email address from initial contact if you choose to and name changes, watch for off spelling of names and plutals in names. Do not give up hope if you are looking and change ur picture if possible if editing. Do this because even if you deactivate your profile remains as long as possible until deactivate. Use precautions, before I setup account, I opened a savings account and placed funds in with a limited amount of funds. Since refund is not provided, this post pre-paid should be here for a year. The bank has issued a new card for the account and were advised only face to face withdrawals. I hope this helps you all.
