Getting in contact with genuine members

January 04 2017

Hi forum readers. Not sure if this has been asked before so I'll ask now. If someone gets in contact with me on here but only wants to continue contact through an email address they supply in their message should I be concerned about whether it's a scam? Since I've signed up on here I've had 3 women send me a message saying let's get to know each other and exchange pictures through (supplied email address). Is this a common thing on here? Has this happened to anyone else? I'm still fairly new to the whole Internet dating site thing and maybe I'm being naive even asking the question but I would appreciate any feedback. Cheers ☺ - Posted from rhpmobile

    It is not unreasonable to expect that members and guests can load pics into galleries and safely open them to prospective contacts. It's safer than emailing or texting. I would suggest that these women are sitting back in a mud hut on the eastern shores of Africa........

    And how do you know they are women? I've been on here for 3 years and never had a guy want to chat via email. Although I'm not interested in wasting my time online, I meet people in real life so I know I'm talking to a legitimate man! Lol - Posted from rhpmobile

    It did cross my mind that they may not even be women. Probably some dodgy pervy bloke who is posting from his mum's basement for all I know........ Let's just say I haven't sent any emails to them and thinking I won't be anytime soon - Posted from rhpmobile

    Especially if the email address is part of their first message to you.That is a sure sign of something dodgy. Getting you off site is the cyber equivalent of going down a dark alley at night...

    These women may be genuine. Although many people who post on the forum are of the view that face pics be supplied in private galleries, there are many users who prefer to keep face pics off this site. Not all of these are for ominous reasons.... for example - we do not post face pics on RHP but will supply from an email account set up for RHP purposes only. The reasons we do this are for the following: - Professionally if I was to be identified it would be detrimental - We have adult children and won't take the risk of our children or their friends coming across us here We use the email only for face pics though- all other communication is done through RHP At the end of the day if you want to proceed with communications offsite, just use sensible precautions that you use for all other aspects of your cyber dealings. Good luck Mrs LAL

    It's best, as soon as possible, to get them to verify that they are actually who they say they are. Firstly, do a reverse image search (of their photos) using Tineye and Google. If that comes up negative then ask them to send you another photo in which they are holding a piece of paper with your profile name written on it. Alternatively invite them to do a face to face Skype video call with you. You will find that if they are not the same person as per their photos, they will quickly vanish into the "woodwork" when you make the above requests. This has worked well for us. - Posted from rhpmobile

    I was watching the tv show catfish yesterday and this guy had catfished over 400 women. He would friend them and gain their trust and then have them send him nudes and pornographic videos. He had very detailed notes and bios on them all. What I learned was that Snapchat can be used as well, he was uploading videos of another Snapchatter as his own. I didn't know this was possible but my 14 year old did. Beware the scammers that want to jump straight to email. I use kik and then I meet. Sometimes I will text but that's not my preferred form of communication.

    Don't ask me. I seem to draw out every fake on the site 😎 But email, yeah nah. I've had guys tell me about this kind of thing, they eventually ask for money, for a sick family member or whatever. Not even in Australia But yeah, but take a look at my pictures, you're looking at a fake magnet 😀👍 they all try the desperate cougar 👙 how come they don't have leopard print emoticons on here 😞

    You're clearly doubting their genuineness..... Which is your gut speaking to you..... Listen to it....it's saying "something's not right" - Posted from rhpmobile

    As one respondent said my gut tells me it's not right. Thanks for the feedback so far from everyone. I guess it's another example of the pros and cons of the online world. But that's a debate for another day..... - Posted from rhpmobile

    ...I was selling a motorbike online, and it was a fair deal, so I had quite a few email and phone enquiries about it...mostly asking for my price to be lowered first. Cheapskates.But, one of them, according to him, "worked offshore( so plenty of money..? ) and definitely would buy the bike but wouldn't be home for another 2 weeks, so if I would hold the bike for him he would send his "Agent" to make the transaction and collect the bike."I mentioned the call to a friend at work that night and before I'd even finished my story he asked, "and did he work offshore and offer to send an agent to make the deal..?"Seems it's quite a common scam in online selling, even though I don't see how it works. But, I guess that's the point.

    Sounds like you guys come across this type of thing regularly. To be honest before you commented I had the impression that it was the single person profile that was targeted, thinking the scammers assume you're more vulnerable when you're single. Also I've never heard of tineye before today..... - Posted from rhpmobile

    Maybe i am lucky or just careful but i have never met or seen a scammer on here. Heard plenty of stories about them though. Should i be upset that i can't even get a dodgy con artist to hit me up?! 😢😘😣 - Posted from rhpmobile

    Just reply to them that you prefer to stay on rhp site for now. If its a genuine contact they dont mind communicating via rhp. Most scammers will move on to someone else. I know of many who have fallen for moving offsite requests, the email they send you often just leads to a Pay for view pics site.

    Come to a Meet and Greet in Sydney or Brissy/Gold Coast and then you can be taken under our collective wings and you'll meet real people. Maybe even make some friends 👍🏽

    We can only reply to a message, not just send as we please. We generally reply to a message with our contact details outside of Rhp. Email, KIK and a phone number..if people don't want to contact us via these options then it's their loss. It's easy to set up an email just for Rhp use. If people are silly enough to part with money then they deserve drama..no one forces you to hand over money. Technology with phones makes it easy to screenshot pics or even record video of what's on screen. If people really want to do the wrong thing they will find a way. Every situation has its pros and cons. - Posted from rhpmobile
