Fact is, opinions change, sites get worse or better as time goes by. The thread in question is a healthy discussion about the site. It even ends with this:

I am updating this topic and agree with Pinky: the webmaster of this site DOES CARE, and is willing to clean up his site and keep it scamfree, so I praise him for his efforts and right attitude.


Anyone that reads the thread will see that. Is that a bad thing? Also, this is the 3rd account opened by VDS here and asking the same thing. I took another look at the site today and found over a dozen photos that are known to be used by scammers in the first 5 pages of search. All I did was pull some suspicious looking profile pics over to Google image search and it confirmed that they were known.

This is why threads stay up. As I stated earlier, sites can get better or worse as time goes by. If a site makes an effort to deal with the scammer problem then it's shown here. Go back to your site and try the Google image search. It takes a few seconds and can be pretty revealing. Here's the link:

And the post on RS you linked to has Marisa exactly saying that:
However, for the sake of objectiveness, I am updating this topic and agree with Pinky: the webmaster of this site DOES CARE, and is willing to clean up his site and keep it scamfree, so I praise him for his efforts and right attitude.

I wish others listed here by their angry customers did the same! :sigh:

Don´t really know what´s your issue then, unless you register (multiply) on every website that has your site mentioned in any context and post the same mass-post, but I don´t think you´d be doing that. You are doing better than others in antiscam fights, the only thing that concerns us here, and noone has contradicted Marisa in this since last year.

PS. When you register the 4th time to post again (normal users don´t do this but maybe you didn´t want to report your scammer anyway, after all), please start in the appropriate forum :)
Please try your best to block ALL your scammer´s still incoming messages and calls!

As hard as you may be trying, scammers have seriously infiltrated your site. I just did a quick search and did not find a male member who I think is real among the ones I checked. Here's a brief rundown of the clues that lead me to suspect them:

Page one, first male: scammer
- Sgt ... scammer favorite
- 4 ft tall
- Native American (they think that means Caucasion)
- Auburn red hair (check the photo)
- black eyes (typical scammer choice, highly unlikely if hair is red)
- sports nut, loves cooking
- AGE IS NOT IMPORTANT

Second male, first page: ... likely
- black eyes again
- kids live elsewhere
- career: real estate
- sports nut, loves cooking
- AGE IS NOT IMPORTANT

Third male, first page: ... likely
- age doesn't match photo
- career: construction
- AGE IS NOT IMPORTANT
- sports nut, loves to cook

Fourth male, first page: ... scammer
- grammer, punctuation
- 'new to this'
- makes big deal about honor, honesty, caring etc.
- again, sports nut, love to cook
- AGE IS NOT IMPORTANT

Fifth male: Decker ... scammer
Image

- ``Am here for real``
- 4`10`` 90 lb
- sport nut, loves to cook
- AGE IS NOT IMPORTANT

First female, first page: Pinky ... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I have purposely removed the profile names of the members, but will pm you with their details if you'd like to have a look at their online activity. And of course, it's possible that there are real men with black eyes who are sports nuts and love to cook ... I just haven't come across any.
Help us keep scammers stupid Post his details here to warn others, then walk away without explanation. Confrontation alerts scammers & makes them change their identities...which makes all your hard work outdated. It messes with their minds if they don't know why you walked away.

:oops:

I haven't logged on there in months, but in defense of VDS, I've not had any messages. Maybe my account isn't active?
If your question isn't answered in the FAQ, please message a green Moderator or red Admin. We need to know.

I haven't been there since the original posts either ... maybe I'm kicked out too (no notifications). I went in as a guest today.

I'm disappointed that the OP has disappeared over the horizon ... yet again. Why don't these site owners stick around and allow us to assist them? If they really care as they say they do then ego should not be an issue.

Hi Wayne,
thanks for the tip. I have been checking to make sure profiles match up with the internetprotocol. Yes i just deleted 5 profiles i saw with the pics, wow i didnt know that thank you. If she can edit the top and get rig of ( negative ). if you do a google search virtualdatespace you'll see what im talking about. Hopefully she will do this for me, i am ontop of this, not just letting it all go by.

We deleted the negative in the title earlier, but in all honesty you still have a long way to go. As I said, just checking the photos gave me a huge stack of hits in a few minutes. Others have posted some they found in this thread as well. There are a number of things you can do to fight off the scammers on your site. Things like the images as you can see, but also Google their profile details and check their IP addresses. Block IP ranges if needs be, as it will stop them from joining. It's hard work, but it can be done.

What would be even better romeo, is if you were to allow us to help you learn the idiocyncracies of scammer profiles (read around, learn the clues, ask for help if you want/need it) then a glowing report that VDS cares enough to clean up his/her site can be honestly written.

Not only would you gain our deep respect, but you would be able to sleep at night knowing you haven't contributed to pain and suffering of your members.

At present the ratio of scammers to real men in the search I performed (I kept at it for about an hour after posting) is 4:1 in favor of scammers.
