These scammers use your desire for a hookup against you and generally have ulterior motives when writing to you.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important that you know how a scam looks like so that you can avoid one if you&#8217;re ever in a tricky situation. Pay attention to the five warning signs below to know how to avoid scams while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justbewild.com\/wild-blog\/where-can-i-find-casual-encounters-like-in-craigslist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">seeking casual encounters online<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>The person is Too Attractive<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I know\u2014we&#8217;d all like to have sex with a model.<\/p>\n<p>Still, if the person you&#8217;re talking to looks like they were chiseled from Greek stone, it&#8217;s highly likely that they are a scammer. Think about it this way: why would a man that handsome or a girl that beautiful be on a hookup app in the first place?<\/p>\n<p>Avoid these people and the scams they are attempting to sell.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Someone is Claiming to be Traveling Internationally<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If someone claims that they are traveling outside of the country, this should be a big red flag. In general, these are people who are trying to hide the fact that they are scammers.<\/p>\n<p>In order to avoid being scammed, you should only hook up with people you can verify beforehand, preferably through video.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Someone Asks You for Money or Gifts<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If someone asks you for some type of reward or gift, and especially if it involves money, you should know immediately that the person is a scammer.<\/p>\n<p>These people are only using the app you are on to scam you out of your money and to get monetary value from you. If you encounter a person like this, simply block them and move on.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Broken English<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Pay close attention to the way people talk to you.<\/p>\n<p>Is their English broken when it shouldn&#8217;t be? If it is, that&#8217;s a major warning sign that the person you are talking to is a hacker. Let me put it this way: native English speakers don&#8217;t speak broken English.<\/p>\n<p>No matter how badly you want the person you are talking to be real, if they are talking suspiciously, chances are they are a hacker and you should avoid them.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>Fake Pictures<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>So you&#8217;re talking to someone, and things are getting a little steamy. Then you exchange pictures, and well\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Things are just a little too perfect down there. If the person you&#8217;re talking to has the body of a grade-A porn star, it&#8217;s likely time to cut the conversation short.<\/p>\n<p>As bad as it sounds, we live in the real world, and in the real world, people generally aren&#8217;t built for porn. If you receive sexy pictures that look too good to be true, let me give you a word of advice: they are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all want that perfect steamy encounter from online.
