So twitter links....the new google links, most likely brought to you by the exact same people. The same stories with different names, except this time its so obvious. They picked their main character from HAMILTON :( I guess the welfare city is making a national reputation?

Is it possible for this website to advertise for non scam and rip off websites?

Yeah..............and? they seem to be doing more advertising too (see below)


Whats up :) it's Emily the girl you were talking to on plenty of fish! Im happy you gave me your e-mail address, their message system is really hard to use, besides there are tons of weirdos sending me messages!! I know this might sound odd, but I have always been attracted to older men. I dont know what it is, maybe its that they always seem to know what they want. So.. I just wanted to ask you some thing up front so we both dont waste our time.. I know I'm being forward but would you be open to having a friends w/ benefits type of relationship? The reason Im asking is Im just so occupied with school so I'm not really looking for anything more than that for right now (but you never know) :) If you are open to that maybe we can feel each other out. Maybe sometime soon we could go to a star bucks or something and have a cup of coffee? As for the pictures I promised you, I have some up on this page and I hope you like what you see. Just follow this link: http://www.sexyaffair.com/emilyj They want you register but its free and it will give you access to my page/pics and that way I know youre real. yes I know it's a porn site and no i'm not some sort of slut lol :) Send me back your screen name so I can give you access to my private pics! I hope to hear from you soon!

Kisses,
Emily
P.S.: plz dont give out my pics to anyone they're only for you

Well how about men who are recruiting people for an employment opportunity? They have profiles in pof but they are not looking for people to date. Is this a scam or for real? Is this allowed in pof?

Report them as per the following statement at the bottom of every email:


If a user requests money on this site it's a scam, and you should report it here along with any other type of scam/spam. We delete messages older than 20 days because they take up too much space.


It's a dating website, not a buy and sell (although arguments can be made for the selling of one's self - but that's purely semantics)

The premise for a member on this site is to find a relationship.

The premise for the owner is to make money via advertisements - all ads are generated through Google and are not pre screened by the owner, but rather Google to some extent via providing advertisements that are in line with the majority of the target audience of a dating website.

If an advert is offensive - report it via the following thread in this forum:

>>> Report Here any Annoying or Offensive (Ads) Advertisements (NOT Profiles)

I got this msg and I knew it was a scam haha


This is Jennifer, we met on plenty offish a while ago.. You sent me a msg and I said I would send you sexy pics of me. I'm sorry I didnt reply earlier but I had a ton of difficulties with my internet connection so I couldnt. Any ways.. I wanted to ask you something up front so we do not waste one anothers time. Would u be open with doing a friends with benefits type of relationship? I am asking cause I'm super busy with school currently and Im not really trying to get into anything to time consuming until after I finish school, but hey.. u never know what can happen.. If you're okay with that then maybe we can meet up some place casual and get to know each other. Oh, and about my pictures, I wanted to e-mail them to you however it won't go thru because it said the atachment is too big. But you can just go to this link: http://pictures.sexyaffair.com/jenniferd70 - it'll ask u to register but its completely free. Just send me back your screen name you signed up with and ill give you full access to my private photos! and yes I know it's an adult website and NO i am not some sort of slut! Anyways, hope fully i hear back from u soon.. - Jennifer
Also.. please don't give out my pics they're just for you..
