| Prostitutes Have Landed On Pof Posted: 2/8/2008 8:31:55 PM | Ok - This one is serious - You all know I love making threads that will create interest - Some of you agree with my posts - some don't - whatever - it's all good :)
What's scaring the hell out of me is - Prostitutes are now joining the club.
Guys - Do your homework ok - Hate me or not - Do your freaking homework. Ask for more pics, don't fall for the trap. Ask for cam - Watch it! Do not give your real name under no circumstance. Somehow - duh - they found a way in.
What's scary is - The disease they can pass to you - then others you meet. And yes, I know you know all about it. What else is scary is - once they get your info - you know what I'm talking about - lol, your real name - they can create online identity theft etc ..
Sorry Pof - I didn't wanna be the burden of bad news - but - it's a warning for both males and females. I suggest a team that will take tips and advice before this gets out of hand. I know others have seen this - I will be the first to say it.
POF is a good place - I like it like that! | |

| Prostitutes Have Landed On Pof Posted: 2/9/2008 7:42:20 AM | malemontrealer....Prostitutes, gigolos, scam artists, dating site predators, users, goldiggers
Hum! we all seen our fair share of those already (you know what am talking about!), nothing really new under the sun!
The secret is not to do the ostrich and make sure that those people are exposed and prosecuted; so that they cannot do it anymore to anyone. Ignoring or doing nothing about a fraud or a crime is endorsing it; fight back! better do little then nothing to clean up a society! | |

| Prostitutes Have Landed On Pof Posted: 2/10/2008 9:56:09 AM | How does anyone gather enough information from you to even attempt to use identity theft on you? If you seriously believe that then I have a bridge to sell you. As for POSERS, we get them in a bar. They tell you one thing and are another. As for Prostitution, we are all exchange our bodies for money, they use sex as their method, I use my hands and head. I believe they are be persecuted .
And the diseases. Well on that point I do agree, but if you ask me. A vigin that sleeps with one person without protection is as dangerous as someone that has slept with 1000. I would not feel more comfortable with someone that had only 1 relationship compared to someone that had 100. I would be prudent, period.

| Prostitutes Have Landed On Pof Posted: 2/11/2008 8:15:49 AM | I had some "woman" message me saying "she" was "interested", I checked "her" profile, and saw a picture of what appeared to be a woman.I had asked for more pictures and a name, I received neither, only cryptic replies. After a couple of messages, "she" declared to be a "Trans gender" person. Account has since been deleted/closed. Don't they have their own site? Apparently there are sites for singles with STD's/HIV, Good idea, at least they are honest, unlike the site for cheaters. They should have a site just for scammers. P.S. Here's a tip on dealing with scam artists. Usually they will eventually try to hit you up for cash (Western Union., Moneygram). Act as if you are complying i.e. tell them that you sent them the money (give phony transfer info), then wait for the next message! Tell them you are dreadfully sorry, and must have made a mistake.(This is the fun part!) Give them some similar transfer info, but change a digit/letter here and there. Keep doing this(making them run around like a fool), until they realize the scams on them! Peace&Love

| Prostitutes Have Landed On Pof Posted: 2/12/2008 10:26:35 AM | There is a site that deals with Internet Love Scams . com They offer support and you can check up as well as report someone. I have twice found pictures of scammers and reported them to the dating site as well as the scam site.
I was very surprised at how many people get taken in, as previously stated, you have to be very careful. | |

| Prostitutes Have Landed On Pof Posted: 2/20/2008 9:03:21 AM | | Or get them on the cell phone, just as you are supposedly going to the Western Union shop...and "pretend" to be hit by a bus, just as you are crossing the street to wire them the money....LOL! Make sure THEY are paying the minutes on the phone...especially if it is long distance! Even better! LOL! | |
|
| Prostitutes Have Landed On Pof Posted: 2/20/2008 10:56:10 AM | | I am not against prostitutes. I am against them coming on here and acting like women looking for dates. That's dishonest. If they have to come on sites like this to lure people in, they probably aren't very hot anyway. | |

| Prostitutes Have Landed On Pof Posted: 2/22/2008 11:18:14 PM | chrisofquebec - lol
You are by far the best thing that ever happened to the forums :) You tell it like it is - in your opinion :) Don't get me wrong - I agree with not much of what you say - but I gotta respect your opinion. I'm not knocking you - I'm praising you. Keep up the good work Bud.
As long as chrisofquebec exist in the forums - they will never be lame. He leaves this forum with reason to either scratch your head or debate his opinion.
Looking forwards to more of your postings dude - Take care :P | |

| Prostitutes Have Landed On Pof Posted: 3/6/2008 12:34:38 PM | I MUST AGREE WITH ALL OF THIS .... YES THERE ARE BAD "THINGS" HERE JUST LIKE ANY OTHER SITE HOWEVER IF THERE IS A MENTION OF MONEY DURING ANY CONVERSATIONS .... WELL I DON'T CARE HOW GOOD LOOKING ..... I'M GONE
LATER | |

| Prostitutes Have Landed On Pof Posted: 3/10/2008 4:28:47 AM | It cant be true... I remember this guy once that messaged me. I thought he was not on the up and up. I was so wrong, turns out he worked for a chip company.."the ones you eat" He would stand and yell "Free Lays get your Free Lays"  | |
|
| Prostitutes Have Landed On Pof Posted: 3/10/2008 10:45:23 AM | I'm totaly agreeing of what you say. Tho , they are very easily detected by their own profiles and pics."read between the lines" . Just read what's on their profile and pay close attention to the emails. Ask questions..you'll be able to filter them out. Some of them are very up front a bout it too.
You'll probably find them on the intimate incounters.. There's even younger girls putting up false ages and profiles. There's allso maried women putting up profiles as being single. Men posing as women,putting up pics of ex girl friends or wifes. WE just have to lurn how to deal with those kind. | |
|
| Prostitutes Have Landed On Pof Posted: 3/10/2008 2:40:57 PM | . I don't care about "Prostitutes...On POF". I'm certainly not so bored here as to start taking up causes such as the eradication of prostitutes on dating websites, etc....I find it's a waste of time.
As the above poster stated quite clearly, women out to profit financially for sexual services are quite easy to detect if, of course, the woman states her intentions clearly and, failing that, if one is conscious enough to "read between the lines" and/or ask the right questions at the first sign of suspicion. That said, I'd have to imagine prostitutes are almost exclusively self-confined to the Intimate/Hang Out/Other Relationship sections.
In other words, there's really no reason in the world to start panicking, as male_montrealer would suggest with lovely little ditties such as "What's scaring the hell out of me is" and "What's scary is" - being infantile about it isn't a solution.
If I happen to come across a profile/member who's here for illegitimate reasons, I'll calmly deal with it if and when that time comes - I have no set plan. | |

| Prostitutes Have Landed On Pof Posted: 3/10/2008 3:29:50 PM | So asking you for your visa card number and expiry date is not a good idea right now Rob???  | |

| Prostitutes Have Landed On Pof Posted: 3/14/2008 6:21:12 AM | That solution that "Tooyoung" gave is ingenious. Who would have ever thought of turning the tables like that. Pat yourself on the back. If we took the time to do that, it would put those scammers out of business.
There are prostitutes on all sites. I've ran into a couple. They pose as friendly. You get to know their life story. They fall in love with you. Then they ask you for money for the trip to meet you. | |
|
| Prostitutes Have Landed On Pof Posted: 3/14/2008 7:30:43 AM | They must go after a certain demographic, because I've only been messaged by one prostitute here from Ontario(who I promptly told that if I really wanted a prostitute, I could just go get one 5 blocks away for $50, I work on Hamel in Quebec City after all). I guess when you wear a metal-T it's like repellent to them. | |
|
| Prostitutes Have Landed On Pof Posted: 3/23/2008 6:13:37 AM | What's the difference between a prostitute and a gold digger? There's none! Basicaly,they are both garanteing an imcome from an other person. There maybe a little diffrence tho. One leive's after an hour or so with some money. The other ,your stucked with her for a longer time.  | |
|
| Prostitutes Have Landed On Pof Posted: 3/23/2008 2:19:39 PM | Let's not forget the male cons on the net as well. I personally have not ran into any but I have spoken to other women who have. They pray on older self sufficient women or those with low self esteem and then once they sweet talk them, they need money to fix their computer or buy another so they can keep communicating, then next, a sick relative needs money and the reasons go on and on. Needless to say it works both ways. Pays off being broke | |
|
| Prostitutes Have Landed On Pof Posted: 3/23/2008 2:42:39 PM | Scammers are pretty bad both ways. I dunno if I would compare that to prostitution. There are male prostitutes that go have sex with women for money. They're called gigolos.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0205000/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367652/ I've never met one in person. Oh wait I did. My friend Rob was a gigalo back about 10 years ago. He would call those singles 900 hotlines like lavalife to get clients. He was one greasy man. He's married now with kids, so I guess it turned out ok for him. | |
