Now is this the voice of experience talking~~good advice anyway~~Clio Xx
Happily no Clio, but it is something that occured to me that could happen!
The mind boggles at the prospect!
:shock:
it could be worse than embarrasing, theres some real nutters out there....
Care to enlighten us, CC? If you have a problem with a particular ad, can you inform the Mods, please?

most people normally do talk on the phone first before a meet....don't won't to be turning up at someone's house and they don't have a clue who you are!
webcams are the best way to be sure, cuts out the prankers, pic collecters and timewasters like a chainsaw through butter.
or maybe people say they haven't got a webcam cos there are so many people out there who just want to cam and use it as an excuse to 'get in'.
just the fact that you have seen them on cam or spoken on the 'phone doesn't mean that they can't still send you to a false address does it?
there are a great many people on this website CC, who have been members for longer and so are aware of many of the pitfalls - you only joined today and seek to advise us all?
OK, Im obviously a fake and a set up as I dont own (yes really dont own and wont buy a web cam) neither do I do telephone calls before a meet.(there is no way i want to hear anyone till i meet them its part of the excitement)
So based on this thread I clearly dont exist, as will not be verified by all those ive met!!
I think it is potentially a problem, but on the other hand, how many crimes are actually committed against people who meet via sex-sites? We hear of one or two, but that is probably the tip of a very small iceberg and one shouldn't be unduly afraid
To my mind the biggest problem is probably the time-wasters and fantasists. And for us (a couple who are married to othe people) there is the risk of "exposure" by malicious people - mostly jackal-reporters, living off other peoples lives. For that reason we don't want to use a web-cam.
We have found that a couple of phone conversations followed by a meeting in a public place is a good way forward.
Foxylady - please take it as a huge compliment xxxx
