We thought we should warn the unaware that there are at least a few fake adverts in the Photo Ads section - Women seeking Couples (may or may not be true for other sections).
For example, we have emailed one person with a brand new email address that has not been used for anyone else, nor has it been posted anywhere on the net. Yet we have recived a substantial amount of spam since sending the email, the first of which was only six hourse since sending the original mail.
We would have preferred to use this websites system email, however, the user had chosen not to hide their email address and therefor we had no choice but to email the user direct from a newly created 'fresh' email address.
We for one (well, two) will be extremely cautious from now on when responding to ads which do not use the systems 'hidden' email facility.
Hope this is of use.

You should report the user to the Mods. That's (one of the reasons) why they're there.
Never really occurred to us to use the "hidden e-mail" system on our own advert ....... Haven't had any great prob with spam either ..... Are we just lucky?
We used to get a report of the action taken by the moderators regarding the ads.
Dont seem to get them anymore.
Maybe we just keep reporting real ones...!!!! :shock:

SarahNickLondon... if you reported a fake as yesterday it will have been dealt with. I have checked our mail box and everything from yesterday is cleared and has been dealt with. Are you expecting a response from us?
U se the hidden e-mail facility here - didn't when I first reistered but then started getting loads of randome people trying to add me on msn
That really pisses me off
Thing is though, twice guys have said they have sent me a pic via the site and I've not got them - odd or are the guys telling fibs?
its part of life now isnt it sad as it is, people (bored sad or poisonous) will use a free site for their own financial gain or advertising other pay sites. i have a very effective spamkiller and it deals with 30plus spams a day. personnally these sick fukks should be smothered in honey and brazillian killer wasps set on their private parts then ,south american yaks set on them to lick it off head to foot. I HATE THE BASTARD SPAMMMERS AND PEOPLE WHO TRY TO SEND ME VIRUSES ? DEATH TO YOU.
I agree!! Hi and welcome to the site though you two!!!!!!
I am a newby here but since I joined I have received several e-mailes from single femails which direct me to another site so I can E-mail them. It appears to be the same where prostitutes advertise........and of course you have to pay. NO THANKS
If I get some more I will report their adverts .......
I have a very good spam stopper via BTyahoo, where I receive over 30-40 e-mails mostly from USA. Despite that now I receive a few more directly to my non public address.

There are a lot of different viruses out there and sometime people don't know they have it. So iIf you send an email to a computer already infested by a virus, it can take your email and use it to send spam. The person you are sending the email could be in good faith, don't you think?
Sometime, it can happen that your email is parked on a server for a while and this server is scanned by hackers and they simply take your email and start to send spam.... they are to blame... not the sender.
it's of course a good move to report suspect ads to the mods - and i know (because my lady is one of the mods) that they do follow up on reports very quickly and thoroughly -
i gather that it sometimes the mods are snowed under with their own lives (like when there's a big munch going on and it can be a wee while before reports get looked into
if you want to know the outcome of your reprt then tick the box in the report window

good point Jags
the mods do come in for a bit of stick from the jokers who use this site, so pleeeeeeeease, genuine users, give em a break and don't be like the example Jags gave
of a gen user
remember the mods are unpaid volunteers and give up scads of time to keep this the best swing site of all - and it free, remember
and if some of em are a bit sharp-edged at times, then that's just like real life, isn't it
