Make sure to use Identity Verification

It seems to me that the majority of people that end up speaking to me end up being a fat African man sitting in an internet cafe pretending to be a Russian or Ukrainian woman. If it is not an African man, then there is actually very organised crime or scam rings that take Ukrainian and Russian models and use them with teams of writers to con men into spending money on letters. It is a pity that online dating scams are not that important to the police in Russia or Ukraine. But it is very annoying to spend time talking to someone and get the usual, "I am sorry my camera is not working." or "My laptop is broken". So as a rule, I now ask any woman I am speaking with to verify her identity with video call as soon as possible. I will not continue a conversation with a woman who is not prepared to present herself as she is. I also won't trust a voice call on it's own. I think that everyone who uses this website should make sure to verify their identity as soon as possible. Any good, legitimate person is going to want to know you are who you say you are, so please make the effort to use the very good systems on this website to verify your identity. And make sure to ask everyone you meet to do this too! This way we have a safe community in which to find the REAL PERSON who could be the love of our lives, and not some fat nigerian scammer guy who is pretending to be a gorgeous woman. Which is disgusting.
