My first blog

I’ve only been coming here for 2 days. Everyone I’ve met have been very nice and helpful. I’m presently recovering from a case of acute bronchitis. This makes it hard to sleep so I greatly appreciate the company at night when I’m alone and other family are sleeping.

One thing I’m curious about is younger people here. While chatting last night I met alberta????, can’t remember the full name. She claimed to be a 25 year old single woman. She invited me to a private chat room and we had a long conversation, after which she wanted my skype name. She called me on skype and sent 3 photographs, one of which was rather revealing. After we ended the skype call I searched google to id the photographs and found them to be of someone quite different than what she claimed. I was quite amused by the experience, but was suspicious of her from the start. My question is how did she get on the SC site? Did she pay for access? Is this a frequent happening on SC? Anyway it passed the time for me when I couldn’t sleep and needed some conversation.

This is one of the photos she sent me:

  1. No it doesnt happen often Al. Admins and Monitors are always on the lookout for scammers and underagers and we also rely a little on Members such as yourself to let us know if we miss some…which does happen from time to time. People register with a name, maybe a birthdate and other info. and it is up to check them if we suspect they arent who they say but it is increasingly hard with the dishonest ones who try to pass themselves off as over 50 and sometimes into their 60’s as well. But we do get them eventually…:-)

  2. I’ve had a few requests for friendship on sc, but I always look for a profile first. No profile no friendship and I have reported them to admin.
    A couple of times, people came on the site saying odd things and when we questioned them they disappeared. There is much better security now but hackers can get in everywhere. Report the person and I assume they can be found and given a good telling off.
    As it’s 12.40am I hope you are asleep and reading this tomorrow. xx

  3. al, I am extremely leery of suspicious people here. I think most of them are scammers, and I heard it said that if you communicate with them, they may be able to access your computer. As a woman, I would just be suckered mostly, but as a man, you need to watch out for young women who may be under the legal age. It may be fun, but it could have serious consequences. I have nothing to do with people who are brand new. I do report them also. I know that young men are not interested in a woman my age for any good reason.

  4. Hello Al,
    I’m engaged for 17month with SC and it took me quite while to find out who is who. So be patient and take a bit of time, ask other members or ROB if you’re insure with a person in special. Michael

      1. Bloom , some are looking for older woman Bloom , one has to be so careful, they are looking for someone with money, a house etc, to give them a good life …….young women are out there as well, as you say, I call them Barracouttas ,one just has to be so careful…..

    1. Al, scammers register for a free trial exactly the same way you do. If we dont find them for one reason or the other they very seldom return after their first visit and they certainly wouldnt become financial members….after all most scammer are here to make money not spend it…LOL

      1. I forgot about the free trial. I didn’t get one because after I registered something came up and I didn’t get back until the free trial had expired. I never got on to chat until I paid.

  5. Al , as the admins and friends have already said, sometimes the occasional scammer will get in by joining the freee 14 day trial ,saying they are of an older age , however the admins soon sort them out, they usually give themselves away ….
    As Rob instructs us on home page , please do not give addresses, real names, phone numbers or e, mail to someone one has just met, unwise…..
    If you have been aproached by someone suspect or under age , there is an addy on the bottom of the home pages that says scammer watch… just send the persons name to the admins they will take care of them very quickly ,…
    Rest assured it does not happen very often…..
