I received a message not too long ago, but ended up deleting it because they sent me their cellphone number, which is something you shouldn't do, at least not right off the bat. Anyways, I got another message from another user and it was the same exact message that I previously deleted. It was worded the exact same way. I don't know if it's the same person or not, but this isn't the first I've noticed things like this happen. I've also had the same problem on another dating site I used to be on called POF. I kept getting the same exact automated messages from different profiles. Has anyone else had this problem? Is it just me? I would like to know what's going on here.

No, it's not just you. I've gotten a couple of similar messages. They weren't exactly verbatim, but they had a common structure. The first time I received the message I speak of, my initial reaction was one of excitement because it looked like the relationship was going somewhere, but something made me look deeper into it. I think it was the fact that in a matter of two messages things went from cordial to what I would almost call "sappy romantic."



I don't remember what I did exactly. I don't remember if I just googled signs you're talking to a scammer online or if I actually copied the message text into the search bar and searched for that. I think it was the former, but one of the first hits was someone sharing a story of a correspondance with someone that included a similar way that the message suddenly went from cordial and friendly to a highly romantic message that had the exact same structure and said many of the same things as the message I had received. The wording was slightly different, but the essence of the message was the same. Needless to say I didn't and don't reply to it when I see it.
