I'm assuming it was a personals ad. No doesn't mean it's a scam, there are free personals sites. I guess they thought it was easier for you to look at the website that has their profile so you can get to know them I guess.
Author sofakingmad Posted August 31, 2007 Author Posted August 31, 2007 no i didn't click on it but i'm pretty sure what will happen if i do. to view her profile i'll have to be a paying member? the link was "my info is at freewebs.com/xxxxxxx" where xxxxxxx was her userid.

Naah! Screw that! Those date sites create phony profiles to suck you in so you pay to see who is talking to you. I wouldn't bother. Here is what you might want to do, however: Google her userid and see if it comes up. If it does and is related to legit sites, might give you a better idea if its real or not. Other than that, I wouldn't bother. Sounds like a sucker scam.
Author sofakingmad Posted August 31, 2007 Author Posted August 31, 2007 ok i clicked on the link and it shows a pic of someone then there is another link for her more provocative pics. but you have to sign up for a free trial to see them. what a surprise.
sweetbutcheeky Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 That time it happened to be a scam. But I have gotten the same response from CL and it was actually a real profile. Or at least had details and a pic of someone and I didn't have to pay.
Author sofakingmad Posted September 1, 2007 Author Posted September 1, 2007 i believe you. i didn't have to pay either to see her first pic. but i think the scam is i won't hear from her until i sign up for the trial. she even says on her web page that whoever signs up can chat with her. i guess people actually fall for this.
