SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend

General Warning About Scammers Added: (2010-03-05 09:48:21)

  • It brought to our notice by some members that some unscrupulous people are sending them personal messages to contact them out side of the site. We wanted to warn that if you don't know the sender personally, suddenly messages you asking them to email you outside of the site that it's probably a scam.

    Please report it immediately so we can delete the profile of the scammer. These people have many different stories, sometimes a girl looking for love, sometimes someone needing your help to recover a lost fortune etc... Mostly they're out there to trick you into sending them money and abusing the name of God at the end of the day. This is a problem for not our site alone but all sites because of the social nature of it. So remember if someone you don't know at all suddenly messages and asks you to email them outside of the site to watch out and also to report it to us please.

    But we do not want to discourage those genuine people seeking out to network and interact socially and bring glory to God ultimately. We are here just for that.
