Scammers do this to avoid detection by the app's security algorithms, which flag suspicious activity, and to build a more personal, isolating connection with the victim. | |||

"I'm always suspicious of new members who joined 1 hour ago and already have a verification. " Some are returners and ask an old contact to verify them. But I agree, it looks a bit iffy | |||

"And the OP has hidden their profile……." Relevance that has to anything? There’s several reasons someone might hide their profile | |||

"I’d suggest checking your Account Privacy settings and message settings. Account Privacy - settings to stop non registered users viewing your profile and to stop search engines gathering details. Message settings - look at the setting to prevent new accounts from contacting you (unless you have contacted them first)." Thank you for that info! | |||

"The following message appears on all new profiles: “If you see any problems with this new profile, please report it.” If you feel that a profile is suspicious, please do exactly that." I had a guy wanting money. Reported him and the result was - absolutely nothing!!! | |||

" But what's the scam? Serious question so please just be informative. " When they ask you to message them outside FabGuys, they can do all sorts of things: - share your contact details with other people - ask you for more personal information - send you links that ask for your personal information - send you links that ask login and password details - send you an attachment that when opened sends a virus - ask for money - blackm4il you | |||

"I'm always very suspicious of any from over 100 miles away who randomly message me. I'll ask how they came across me." I rather like it when they cum across me, but that's another story | |||

"Usually they are not Site Supporter. We should support Fabguys and keep it going. I meet several nice guys here too. Can't do without Fabguys really. " Also they dont dare to put their face photos for fear of people identifying them. So sad they have to hide, reject themselves and live in perpetual anonymity and self imprisonment instead of being free and enjoying life. | |||
