A Word of Caution

How can someone know if they are about to be potentially scammed by a fake account? How can someone be safe when potentially meeting someone? The first question pops into my head from time to time and the second question (unfortunately), is asked by a lot more women than guys.

I was threatened with blackmail not too long ago. I did ignore my suspicions in hopes of meeting another person. But what can I look for? I have noticed that when some random people IM me, you cannot have access to their profile and information (how you can chat while not actually having a profile is something I do not understand). This to me, is a red flag. Any person talking to you should have a visible profile with information. If you can talk to them but cannot access their profile information (and if it says, "profile unavailable"), then that probably means they are hiding something. Some of us do want to jump the gun and want to give out our contact information...it's a natural reaction. However, if a person IM'ing asks for your number within a minute of not actually knowing you, then that probably means they are trying to set you up for something.

They will asks to trade pics right off the bat and such. I have my own pics which I do not show on my profile, but a lot of others don't have a problem and I am not judging on that all. However, some scammers may ask for a pic and threaten to send it unless you give them an certain amount of money. This happened to me but for me, this person was full of hot air, and I played my own mind games to stop them.

Now for women, they have to worry a little bit more. When meeting someone, there is usually this buildup of anxiety and nervousness. For women though, there is an extra sense of anxiety. Is this some creep? Is this someone potentially dangerous? Or is this someone I can actually like?

The best way to go about it is to always meet someone in public first. I know you have to talk with someone on here to see if there is chemistry, but you never know for sure unless you meet face to face. And for any guys reading this part.....always offer to meet somewhere in public first.

That is all for now, and I hope some of this may be of some use and help.
