Ok guys (and gals), I just need a little feedback. I recently joined Arrangement Finders, and I have been fielding all kinds of interest, some quite forward. Great, right?

Here's the rub. Almost all of the ladies appear to be 'bots' trying to get me to join a website. The most common is the line that they need a 'secure ID' before they'll see me. I have been treating these as a scam, but I'm willing to be corrected.

Is getting a secure ID legit? Or have I been correct in treating it as a scam?
If it's legit, can someone explain how it works? Doesn't make sense to me.
