Question about Warning on messages

I receive this warning on every single message I get from a man on here. I am not sure why. does anyone have insight on it?

We recommend you avoid sharing your contact details.

In case any user asks you to send money to them, or asks for sensitive information such as your address or password, please use extreme caution. Be very careful of the amount of trust you put in someone you met online, as scams and other malicious activities are very common online. If you suspect that a user is trying to scam you, please report the message immediately, by pressing Report at the bottom of the message, and do not reply to that user anymore.

That’s a standard message that you get sent if the conversation is new and they mention certain words like picture, profile, money.. things like that even in innocent conversation

@Starchild1983 thanks for the info. it is weird. i have been speaking to him on and off for months.

So if person is known to the admins as being an offender, what are they still on SW???

@Quimliqer this guy has never asked for my password but he has asked for my pic and my name etc. i showed him the warning and he blew it off. believe me, he has not gotten anything yet.

I've had that message several times, I never thought much of it, thought it was a random sw reminder to be honest but as long as you're wise about knowing these are online 'relationships' and that you can never truly trust anyone here, so it's not wise to share your personal identification, you will be fine.

@SW-User omg... were you on EP? big canine sex group there. geez. 😆
SW-User
@akindheart I was but 10 years ago, way before it closed. I was RobertaSunset on there but I left to spend more time with my kids. I'd never heard of anything like that before though so it was quite a shock.
akindheart · 61-69, F
@SW-User i was there for years as akindheart. there were all kinds on there...good that you spent it with your kids!

I have had those before too, and I never wondered why, I just thought the site was trying to be protective of me, but now I am wondering if the person has not been reported before for soliciting others on SW for money.
akindheart · 61-69, F
@WillaKissing i talk to lots of people. i have never seen this warning. I copied it to the person messaging me and he blew it off.

Ive seen it and another one warning about catfish and the person having been reported in the past.
akindheart · 61-69, F
@icedsky interesting. his has not gone away AND he asked for my pic and my name. not happening now
It could be that this person has been reported to be doing such things… 🤔
akindheart · 61-69, F
@CookieCrumbs good thought...you are probably right.
Eddiesolds · 61-69, M
Ive had that happen a few times. I wish i knew.
Virgo79 · 61-69, M
It's pretty much a no brainer in most cases anyway
Virgo79 · 61-69, M
@akindheart i know what you mean, i know of some i wouldn't belive and some that should have it and don't.
I usually just look over it and use my own discretion
akindheart · 61-69, F
@Virgo79 his reaction to me showing him the warning was pretty telling. who knows.
Virgo79 · 61-69, M
@akindheart it pays to be cautious👍

might be just random?
akindheart · 61-69, F
@therighttothink50 its just this guy and it has never gone away. that made me suspicious
bowman81 · M
It's always good to be careful. It does make one wonder what prompted him getting tagged with that warning.
akindheart · 61-69, F
@bowman81 we have been friends for a long time. you read my mind. THAT was exactly my question and why hasn't it gone away by now?
jim44444 · 70-79, M
I get that message when a new to me person sends a message. Usually an alleged hot young woman that likes older men.
Yeah right. Block.
akindheart · 61-69, F
@jim44444 this guy has messaged me for awhile. Its weird it's showing up still
originnone · 61-69, M
No, that's kind of cool. Once in a while I get a message that tells me who I can call if I want someone to stop me from suicide....which is really stupid....If I want to commit suicide, why would I call someone to talk me out of it?
akindheart · 61-69, F
@originnone i got the suicide warning too (not for me btw) if you mention it in passing you get the warning. i just wondered why this guys is not going away...
caesar7 · 61-69, M
....whatever reason. It's a good thing. Just a reminder to be careful.
akindheart · 61-69, F
@caesar7 the messenger will usually mess up and say something. this guy disappears and reappears and then asks personal questions. just a 6th sense that something was not right
BigGuy2 · 31-35, M
It usually implies they're SCAMMERS
braveheart21 · 61-69, M
Always here my friend 🤗🤗🤗💋@akindheart
