They keep trying, but I'm not gonna let them win...


I got two different messages yesterday. The first was from someone I had already determined they were a fake. But I had already given them my number a while back. So I told them they already had my number. So they texted me. At first I thought, wait....what if this person isn't a fake?

But lasted about a minute. After interrogating them via text, I found out the person:

-has a cellphone, but only gave me a TEXT NOW subscriber number. I hate these fucking numbers. Basically they registered for the TEXT NOW number, but they have to for actual phone calls. In a society in which we have over 90 percent have cellphones, this person decided while I gave them my number in trust, they couldn't trust me with their number and instead gave me a TEXT NOW subscriber number.
-in the midst of the conversation, the person said they couldn't give me their number because of security reasons. (bullshit, red flag #1)
-in the midst of the conversation, the person said at the time, they are currently out of the state of Illinois. So they are not in the Chicago area at all. (red flag #2)
-at the end of the conversation, they got upset and blamed me for accusing them of being from Africa, which they got upset about. So then I changed tactics and said, oh my bad, you're one of those India scammers instead. At point, they shut up. So I was off one continent. (red flag #3)

At point, I blocked their number and deleted their message and reported the account for false information.

The other person sent me a message which I had also deleted suspecting them of a fake account. I sent them a reply back saying was what they sent the last message and the last message before . I reported account as well.

Today I got another message from a third person, in which I also suspect they are a fake account because I asked them some questions, and they skipped right over any questions saying they are looking for someone to love them in which they could end their search forever in some flowery message. It was something in the back of my head saying, no normal person would talk like , because the message rambled on. I mean the sentence structure made sense. But it just didn't feel like normal human conversation. So I asked her more questions and told her to answer those and I said if you can answer those, then maybe I'll give her my info. My gut is screaming don't send her anything, so for now the conversation is on hold until I get questions answered.

So they keep trying, and I keep reporting them and will continue to do so until they stop or I stop. Not giving up just yet...but maybe one day I will after I get tired of this site as they continually do nothing to fix the problem of fakes, scammers, and catfish.

Who can you call on to save the day?

Why none other than...

Here's the thing...every woman I've talked to offline and that they've used a TEXT NOW subscriber number, when I asked them do they have a cell/mobile phone, they tell me that this is their number.

Now, more than 90 percent of the population of the USA has a cellular/mobile number. Even if they don't have a smart phone, they at least have a cheap cell phone that has texting ability. So when someone says that the TEXT NOW number is their only phone...that's a lie.

Plus, you forget what my career is. I've worked in telecommunications and in the IT/Data center field for over 23 years. I know the area codes that exist in Chicago, so when someone gives me an area code, I can Google it in seconds and know it's either in Chicago or not. And if needed, I have other ways to check if someone is real or not, which I cannot divulge.

The point being, while I understand some women use a TEXT NOW number to protect themselves. But when they lie and they say that's their number, and the area codes don't match a location, that's a lie. And if you are trying to start up a relationship, you don't start it lying to the person right off the bat.

Oh, And they've already won because they distracted u from what ur here for!
Trying to be the "Watch Commander" is a waste of time!

By the way, why are you so concerned that I'm doing something to stop it? Why would it bother you that I'm reporting the profiles, unless... you're maybe somehow involved?

Wasting time blocking and reporting!
U should be able to recognize them by now, just move on and find the real ones.
It is what it is!


whoisagentj replies on 5/21/2019 10:13 am:
If I'm here looking for someone that's real and I come across someone who is a scammer. Now, I know someone has a scam profile, and I don't report it, then the next guy who hits that profile and gets scammed out of his personal info or worse, that scammer gets him for some money, then I'm partially responsible for letting the system of abuse continue on.
I'm being the change to having these people reported, so it wastes their time. And that's my choice. You choose to ignore it. I choose to do something about it.

I don't report or block them- they go away- if they aren't with what local driving range I don't bother with them-


whoisagentj replies on 5/21/2019 9:13 am:
Yeah, but here's the thing, they are presenting themselves as that they are local, when they are not. And you only find that out after you talk to them.

hi, and yea..it's another reason i'm hardly on as well.. you gotta keep reporting and blocking these fakes..


whoisagentj replies on 5/21/2019 9:12 am:
It's difficult to deal with them, but as long as I can keep reporting them, they're profiles disappear. It just takes a while because the support staff is very slow here.

But that's ok, I'll keep reporting them as long as I can to keep removing them from the website.
