Hey evreone I know this thread is probably going to get deleted but I need some input here.
Has anyone ever gotten a message from someone whom you dont know. Saying they want to message you on their private E-mail? As in NOT on POF? Or saying they want you to add them to the messenger?
What would you do? Would you mail them or message them through an IM? I dont know what to do. Call me stupid but I tend to be cautious about this kind of thing.

I'd ask for more info before I agree to talk to them via instant messaging, too

It's a good idea to have a separate account for dating... I have an email and IM account that I only use for dating and it doesn't contain my real name.

I don't add anyone to msn (even though I'm very rarely on there) that I don't know.

Scamsters and porn bots do that kind of stuff. I don't get many of those, but fortunately you can decline them and --- problem solved.

If you're pretty sure it's a pornbot, as in, the message says, "Hi I'm Amber and I'm 21 and horny and would LOVE to chat with you. I have a webcam!!" you can report them to admin (if they have a profile here).

I would NOT email or message them. Ever.
