Telltale Signs That You Are the Mark of a Muppet Ever wonder why so many of the non-paying members on this site, and an increasing number of the paying, want to take the conversation offsite so fast? It’s because whether it’s Gchat, Skype, Text or whatever the other platform preferred, you have to provide a number or an email, and if you are foolish enough to give ones that are real and unprotected from prying eyes, you may also be<b> giving </font></b>out at the same time, access to your address, your profession, your business address, other phone and email addresses, and useful credit information like birthday, income, last four digits of your SSN - if not all of them - emergency contact information, all of which then can lead to finding you on other sites, like Facebook, X, etc., until a file on you is so rich in detail that passwords can reasonably be hacked, or you can be blackmailed if concerned that others not get into your private interests. It’s information that has value, in other words, so it can be collected to be sold, while you lose what little protection this site can provide you by being able to deactivate solicitous and fake accounts, and allow you to block these posers from contacting you further in the meantime. What to do? Search for free apps that allow you to create fake that nonetheless work to allow you to receive texts on alternative platforms, while never revealing real contact information about you. Go to ‘settings’ on your real contact sites and deselect all the information you don’t want to be public once you accept a new contact. Do the same for any new email addresses you set up, so you don’t use your regular emails, and don’t give anyone photos or video of yourself that you wouldn’t want to see online, because guess what? You likely will. The reason being your image and information can also be used to create fake profiles on sites targeting audiences you might never see, control, or realize what it says about you as you, or how it interacts with others as you. So, first telltale sign that you are the mark of a muppet is being almost immediately asked to take the convo elsewhere. Another are the dreaded boring scripted questions discussed in a previous blog. Then there is the impossibly beautiful people telling you how impossibly beautiful and charming and sexy and cute you are, no matter how you look or what you do. And there is the fact that nothing you say or do seems to trigger pushback of any kind. Everything is fine. Everyone is just so agreeable. Another category, also as previously mentioned in an earlier post, are hints that get dropped that the people you are talking to are in a vulnerable situation that might go bad for them at any moment, leaving them no choice but to ask you for your help. Another is how the con artist is always asking the questions, and rarely responds in kind with detailed information about themselves that isn’t cut and paste scripted responses, that these often have your name wrong, or contain details about conversations you’ve never had, or details about the muppet that are different from what their current profile shows. And these are just the big and easy to spot signs and warning flags, of course. It can take several exchanges to expose others, like the incredibly unbelievable demands for relational exclusivity to occur after only a few days, before ever actually meeting anyone in person, and exchanging less than spit with someone, who not uncommonly might also offer to move across the world to be your everything without even knowing who you really are, what you really want, where or how you really live. So, just remember a lot of these profiles are no more than the creations of con artists with their hands up their puppets’ asses (and not in a good way). Don’t be taken in, block and report them, and help us real people take back this site. |
