Target of scammers
I have been using Interpals for several years, maybe for more than 5 years.
I encountered a scammer on it for the first time.
A guy contacted me on the website and I told my LINE to add him.
His picture looked nice like an actor lol
He wrote to me so much friendly such as his girlfriend.
I thought he was weird, but I kept in touch with him.
After awhile, he asked me my phone number, then I didn't know why, but I rejected to answer it.
Suddenly he stopped messaging me anymore.
Then I tried to search about him, and I found him on a website about scammers. lol
As it is, I have been contacted by many scammers.
There is no way to avoid them as long as I do language exchange.
However I somewhat recognize if they are scammers or not.
Today, I was using interpals again.
I realized one guy was a scammer, because he was shown on a scammer gallery, and blocked him immediately.
Another guy contacted me after then, and I thought he was, too.
Because he just signed up on the website just before 30 minutes ago.
I guess the same scammer use the other account or he shared about me to other people in the scammer group.
What the heck they are.
It's the best to ignore such people on those websites.
Don't care about them.

- Numbers up to ten are spelled out in English composition.
- We use "decline" or "turn down" for requests (but we do "reject" someone's romantic advances).
- Or: "he had signed up just 30 minutes ago/earlier."

( I don't know what interpals is or what they call the method of contacting, so I have not corrected 'LINE')
His picture looked nice like an actor lol
He wrote to me in so friendly a manner as if I were his girlfriend. (an alternative way a little bit older English but it still works 'in so friendly a manner')
I thought he was weird, but I kept in touch with him.
