A great way to describe the "scammers" no matter who they are, *** a hive mentality*** indeed. Lol.

The new Coup in DMF is: when you was long enough in DMF, you become automatically with your profil from DMF member in AbsoluteFreeDate.
Different to DMF, you cannot report scamster in ADF.

they should remove bad profiles instead of just flagging them "scammer", PLUS remove all scammers messages from inboxes. Or at least make this red "scammer" sticker show up in inbox system. The thing is, 80% of men don't look at profiles. They receive a message from a pretty girl, her picture shows up right in the mailbox, so they just hit reply WITHOUT going to profile page, they never even notice that "scammer" sticker.

Help us keep scammers stupid Post his details here to warn others, then walk away without explanation. Confrontation alerts scammers & makes them change their identities...which makes all your hard work outdated. It messes with their minds if they don't know why you walked away.

WOW, seems that DMF is getting better. All scammers that I reported was removed the same day. Haven't checked their other sites yet (WDF, GFD, 24FD, Lovessa, etc..) but I guess the same.

Now, if only they blocked at least Senegal and Ivory Coast by IP, that would be even better. And if they blocked Nigeria, Yoshkar Ola and Lugansk by IP, that would be just great. :applause:

DMF has now a stronger anti scam policy than certain paying sites.... :shock: If only these paying sites could do the same efforts...

well, unfortunately Nigerian male scammers are still in force there. My mailbox is still full of them :(

Also, other affiliate sites of DMF are the same bad, they are all owned by the same guy from Vinnitsa, so he should be doing the same on all his sites, not just on DMF. For examle, few days ago I reported a 419'er (!!!) on 24freedate, they are still there:

Hello folks,
I have been a member of DMF off and on since 2007. My general opinion of them is they are the same old DMF. OK there was some encouraging posts on this thread about their steps against scammers. I do not think DMF does enough. DMF is still to this day one of my greatest sources where I find scammers to post reports here at Romancescam. I am noticing a shift from the majority of scammers being of the romance (Russian and elsewhere) type scammers to African 419 funds transfer type scammers and the like. I am also seeing increasing inquiries for me to text certain daters or phone them. Things are just changing and not for the better.

Just my two cents worth

See you
