Many of the letter writers purported to have read "Michael's" profile, in which he solicited messages from scammers only - yet here they were messaging him anyway.

That's not to say that the remaining 30% were not scammers, and, indeed, the style of their letters was very similar.I also can't fail to mention that after the first photograph in each letter, it costs ten credits to open each photograph, and that, surprise, surprise, many (around 50%) of the letters "Michael" received contained more than one photograph.To give you an idea of the frequency of the letters, around 60 letters arrived within the first nine days - about 6.5 letters per day.Concerned that my friend was being scammed, I did some investigating, and came to the conclusion that yes, he was. Here, then, is my research, to warn those considering using against wasting their time and money.My investigations took two forms: direct investigation by registering a fake profile, and indirect investigation by scouring the net for positive/negative reviews.I could be pretty certain, then, that anybody messaging him either had not read his profile, or was a scammer, or (most likely) both.
