Has this happened to you?
| Fri, 06-24-2005 - 11:47pm |
Lately, when I've been checking my Yahoo Personals mailbox, it shows that I am online, and I have had 3 guys do this now...
They give you some line about being top on their search, or being so beautiful, blah, blah, blah, and want to talk to you. But in order to talk to them, they post this link you have to go to and then you have to fill in a "short" form (they tell you this themselves) and then you are to look for xxxxxxx (their screen name on there).
I just delete since I'm not filling out any form to view a guy's profile and pics! I did go to the link once just out of curiosity but deleted then, it was some guy's site. Has anyone else had this happen to them? It just feels like something weird to me.

Hmmm...I've never heard of the form thing, but I agree with how you handled it...I would delete, too.
Sounds kinda fishy...I'd see it as a red flag and next 'em :)

Hi Sunshine...In the year + I did OLD that has never happened to me and I was active on Yahoo for some time. It sounds like a link to possibly another dating site. I didn't think you could do that on Yahoo. (?)
Anyway, I would have done the same thing you did. Their info should be available on Yahoo. It seems "phishy" to me!
