Banishing the Scammers from Cyber Dating

Hey Cyber Dating lovers,

We've been getting a few complaints from members who are concerned about how we handle messages sent by scammers.

Here is the scenario: A real member on our CyberDating Network site receives an email indicating that there is a message waiting in his/her CyberDating Inbox. When he goes to check his Inbox, he finds that the message has been removed and replaced by a not indicating that we have removed the message because it was sent by a scammer.

Well, we have had complaints from members saying that they wanted to receive the scam messages so they could decide for themselves if they wanted to talk to the scammer.

There are a few reasons why we do this. The first is that if we didn't remove the scammer and the messages that he/she sent, some our members might be scammed - which happens more often than you think.A second reason for removing them is that since some scammers send hundreds of very long messages, our database would quickly become clogged with junk, causing our system to become slow. The last reason is so we can say that we are doing everything that we can to totally banish scammers from our system. In the end, that's the important thing.

So, rest assured. If you see a notification message saying an item in your Inbox has been removed because it was from a scammer, the message was really of no use to you. We only remove scammers after manually reviewing his/her behavior.

Cheers,
Tucker
