| Just need some input! Posted: 7/4/2009 7:00:26 AM | 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. | |

| Just need some input! Posted: 7/4/2009 6:35:19 PM | | 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. | |

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. | |
