Curious to know your opinions
Posted : 17 Jan, 2011 04:01 PM

I'm always getting IM's or e-mails from guys wanting my personal e-mail address right away, which I do not give out?? I figure they are scammers, but I'm curious to know if any of you guys do that? I always assume it's a scammer? What do you think?

Scammers. Ignore and delete. Or, ignore and wait. Within 24 hours (almost always) CDFF will list them as "profile removed"

I never do it!

Back when I was naive about spammers I gave out my email address and my aol passwor got hacked and everyone I had ever emailed received a advertisement from I site I had never been on of scantily clad russian wannabe brides, worse yet...they were all addressed as if they had been sent from me personally!.....quite embarrassing, no matter what you say people still wonder what you have been up to on the internet.

Btw : If you ever find out the true identity of a spammer there is a 50 dollar reward.

I think there needs to be a definate communication trail in this site before giving out personal emails. If it is a scammer, I doubt they will invest a month in meaningful communication to get an email for spam purposes. I would never ask for someones email on first meeting.

I've never asked a person for their email address. I've asked for their phone numbers for easier communication but I see little point in getting an email address when the website automatically forwards the messages anyway.

@Elisa- It is under "Mail preference".



You need to provide your outside email address and check the box for " Send me an email when I have received a private message from another member"

Most definately spammers. I get them quit often. 2Sparrows is right, they hijack your computer and do all sorts of damage.
