There are many scams on the internet. But they all eventually involve someone wanting you to pay/send money or sign up for something. <br><br>Many of them are very sophisticated. Some of the most popular ones involve blackmailing, fake car accidents, fake underage users, 'angry parents', and so on. <br><br> The most common scam going around all internet dating sites is this: You will contact or get contacted by a user. After talking for a little while and exchancing information, the user will admit they lied and they are infact 15 years old, or underage in general. After that you will get a call or a text from a fake angry 'father' telling you he is going to report you to the police unless you send him money. He might say the teen was in a car accident, or needs a health bill payed, or some other variation.
