Yes, that's the PM I got too.

I feel like such an idiot now.

Far too trusting. Warning?

I got the PM and it.....triggered me a bit.
I messaged DocJohn and he has banned that user!
I don't think it is a genuine person.

You are NOT an idiot my friend.....

You are a caring and trusting soul. We all make mistakes, we all want to believe that people are who they portray themselves to be. Please don't be down on yourself.....turn it around to be a positive....a lesson learned. We are all learning lessons Warning?

Warning?

That PM just sounds "Yuck" to me! No way would I respond to someone like that. I'm not looking to "hook up" obviously. Just want to keep this a safe place--I, too, get triggered by this kind of thing.--Suzy

I got the same exact email twice. I deleted both because #1 and most important I am newly ENGAGED! As if I wanna talk to someone who seemed desperate AND creepy (i.e. I am waiting).

I"m so glad it was taken care of!

Warning? PC Staff Warning?

This person was selective in sending those... so they had some knowledge of the site, imo. I was on at the time and did not receive one.

Me too.

When sweetlover said she noticed my profile and was interested, I got suspicious, because there is very little in my profile!
