Yeah. I "sighed" about getting my hopes up the other day already regarding that one.
1) If it looks TGTBT, then it probably is
2) If the rates are in the basement, probably also a sign
3) If not a local number, at least a "yellow flag" in my book
4) If the first question is, "where are you located?" probably no good
Even if you still want to "give it a try" to contact them, it usually doesn't take long until they give a split donation response. At which point I block them, and keep the blocked number for reference. :shrug:

I think the bait an switch is so much worse. I can understand hiding a face to preserve identity, but if the entire package is fake I definitely won't repeat and more likely to give a report of some sort or not. It's also the reason why first meets I try to keep short, if we are I to each other I don't mind shelling out to go longer if she's willing.
But on the same token, if the pic's and the person don't match up, what do you do? If you're like nope, and wanna leave you have no idea where the psycho with a piece is.
