I keep getting emails from profile Lovekate, asking me to contact her as she wants to be friends. she has no pics, no profile details etc, all I know is she is from Africa.
I have heard countless stories of girls from africa be-friending people in europe, then asking them to send money to pay for a flight, and of course disappearing. Anyone else had emails from this person??

    There is another thread today about the same identical situation.  One thing in common with them all is that they request that any response be sent to their personal email address.  Don't bother to respond to any of them.

    I hate scammers who're too stupid or lazy to bother looking at who and where they're sending their scam messages.
    Am I really supposed to believe that a woman read a gay man's profile and believes he's interested in seeing her pictures?
    The scarier thing is that I flagged this user's profile two days ago and it's still active.
