For those of you new or even those of us who have been part of the community for awhile. Beware of scammers on this site. There are moderators, but not enough of them to keep the kooks out. Remember these are open boards and open groups.

@Oscardoghiggy Delete them as friends plain and simple.
You should also not even except their friend request. You are the only one that can help you.
Delete them and don't except any more

>Then the second texts is usually asking me to talk to her via text or WhatsApp or another means outside of FB. When I state I’m here for fitness and don’t text folks I don’t know outside of FB,
This is an excellent idea! And if they unfriend you, nothing lost and everything gained.

@SunsetRunner it's just like life offline. Someone tries to get you to go to another location, to isolate you from others and safety. Many of them just don't count on someone who is able to resist their repeated attempts to get attention. Stay strong and stay safe! We can do this!

Okay, I have been in contact with yet another Captain scammer, using that photo of Thomas or whatever the correct name is. How do I report this? He is calling himself a very generic "Richard M." and thus far he only has 2 friends as I have since deleted him... This person waited a little while before asking to talk outside of the app, a few days, so I opted to check his picture and blamooo I ended up here 🙂

Are they using a name with the initials B.H.? I have had 5 guys in 2 days try to contact me even when my profile is literally a cat and says "this isn't a dating app and I'm not interested" ETA nevermind. I just re-read your post. I must have a new scammer. Oh goody. Lol

@Coopeerr @SunsetRunner
Before even excepting look at the friend List and steps. No Steps all Female Friends? Use the app to Block them and not friend them at all. Click on the 3 dots upper corner you will get a drop down choose Block
Do the same if you already excepted. Go to friend list click on name and block
Can only be done from app (to block)

I've gotten friend requests on Fitbit, too, and the minute they ask me to go to Hangouts or WhatsApp, I block them because I suspect they are scammers using other people's pics. If they want to talk about fitness and nutrition, fine, but if they're trying to get me to give them my phone number, which I don't give anyway, and I tell them why, they get mad.
