Experience will tell. Learn about scammers. I recently joined Coffee meets Bagel.
All the men in my age range. Widowed, with or without children.
European. Seemed okay at first then I put it together. They all have similar profile. One man even used Paul Hollywood's photo as his. Thank goodness my co-worker recognized this and alerted me. When I confronted "Michael" about the photos he left the chat room and removed his profile.
Another "architect" from England, that 'lives' in US (widower) uses Viber for phone. Seems legitimate... until no one answers and they don't call.
Lesson learned. Be EXTREMELY cautious. I will not share anymore info online.
Overall Coffee Meets Bagel seems good... but I'm getting scammed. :(
