Your online safety..........

Right, of course - nobody EVER leaves a group unless they're a scammer. LOL Maybe there were more people in that group bothering the person in question, like you did, so she decided it wasn't worth it?

Can you provide a single example of your alleged scammer trying to scam anyone? Because seriously - if you simply deduced their true intentions from the fact that they had a picture of an attractive woman, they might have been too polite to straight up tell you to f*** off, they blocked you and left the group - that's laughable. There are hundreds of other potential explanations of the behaviour and you don't seem to have any evidence at all, except for your subjective interpretation of the circumstances.

What lessons are we supposed to learn from your story anyway? Because I think pretty much everyone knows by now, not to trust people fishing for personal information, or asking for money and to report them to moderators. But if they don't do any of that and I still - for whatever reason - suspect they may not be who they say they are, I should pester them, until they go away?

Yeah, thanks, but I'm not going to do that...

Oh my god....I don't go on the internet to harass women. You have horrible reading comprehension. I have not had a desire at all to date anyone, much less online. 

I don't give a fuck if you believe me or not. That is your baggage. The point of this post is for people to be weary of sharing personal information.

You sound like a theist when they say "How do you know what I am about to argue, we've never met before".

I treat this kind of first post like I do with theists arguments. You see the pattern over and over from multiple people it becomes obvious. You are stuck on the fact the picture was a woman. The issue is scammers, trolls. Any admin on any social media can tell you people come in, to phish for personal info, or they do it to troll to yank your chain, or get attention for their website. Those types don't stay long, or get booted. Lagit people stay on and post regularly for months if not years.

I am stuck on the fact that you sought her out. You messaged her asking to be friends. Then you said some creepy crap about scammers, then you got blocked and now you're mad. Nothing you have said gives any reason to believe the woman you were bothering is a scammer.

NO I did not, that person came to the web page I was already on. I don't have magic super powers.

NOW again, I asked for the friend to see if the person was lagit, and as predicted, it didn't last. I get and send friends requests to men too, so does that mean I harass men? 

And who says I am mad? Right now I am mad at your lack of reading comprehension. I did not start this thread out of anger at all, but I am getting pissed that some people here are reading into it things that are not there.

NOW again for the billionth time. That post is no different than the odd first posts places like this get on OTHER subjects. Is this the only page you hang out on? Have you ever been an admin on a webpage. Do you even look at the ban thread on this page? Stop turning this into something it is not.

Seriously, if you message a person you don't know (regardless of gender) and ask them to friend you (even though you don't know them) because you want to see if they're "lagit". That's creepy and you have no reason to do that. If a person messages you first that's one thing. Or if they send you an unsolicited friend request and ask you for info. But that didn't happen at all.

Also, I hang out on plenty of webpages. I've been a mod but not an admin. I don't see how that's relevant. Ask any mods or admins if you're right. You made first contact. This person was minding her own business not bothering you. If that's what makes for a scammer, I guess we are all scammers.

NO I did NOT, that person came to a website I was already on, they made first contact. PLEASE tell me your reading comprehension isn't that bad. You sound like a theist "life begins at conception" forgetting that there is a live sperm and a live egg.  They came to the page, I was already in. 

You must not understand how FB works, nor do you even know my own history of interactions with TONS of other people on facebook, long before this instance. This crap happens all the time worldwide to other people and their is nothing "stalky" or "creepy" about what I did. You are simply trying to turn this into something it is not. 

Most people are not scammers, never said that everyone was and it is silly of you to imply that I go around paranoid about everyone. Again, lagit people stick around, nobody chased that person off.

Hey brian... yknow what this thread reminds me of? How awful I used to think ABBA was...

But see, then I got to thinking... maybe the problem wasn't ABBA... maybe the problem was the lack of good ABBA remixes. So... I looked really really hard, trying to justify ABBA's existence in this world...

And I finally stuck ABBA gold.

Cheers mate Smile Your band isn't literally worse than Hitler... anymore. Now, it is only just as bad as your attempts at backtracking in this thread have been.

...

Just because it's your thread... don't mean it ain't too "lagit" to quit.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
