Members have been discussing encounters with individuals sending contact requests via Skype, often using distinctly American-sounding names despite claiming to be working abroad. These individuals typically compliment the member excessively and provide vague reasons for initiating contact, such as mistaking the member for someone else while searching Skype. Despite their professed admiration, their knowledge of the member's profile and activities seems lacking, raising suspicions about their true intentions.
- These interactions often involve poor English, suggesting the person may not be a native speaker, despite their claimed American identity.
- Some members speculate these contacts could be computer-generated due to the repetitive nature of the messages and the similarity in the stories they tell.
- Advice from the community includes banning and reporting these contacts to protect oneself from potential phishing or scam attempts.
- It's suggested that these individuals may be aiming to establish a rapport to eventually solicit money, using tactics like sharing a sob story or requesting assistance with financial transactions.
- Members are urged to exercise caution, particularly with contacts who refuse to engage in genuine two-way conversations or seem to be following a script.
This discussion highlights the importance of vigilance and skepticism when dealing with unsolicited contact requests on platforms like Skype, particularly for professionals in the webcam modeling industry.
