Skout is full of scammers!

Skout is full of scammers!

Hi everyone, I have read everyone's review and I agreed with everyone's experience. I have been on Skout for less than a month and I have met a lot of people who claimed that they live in the states but currently they are out of the country for a certain reasons. Many of them are saying that they are in "USA Army" "working on a contract in Malaysia, Africa, UK or Germany" "they are in some kind of oil business" or "they do buy and trade art work". They all have a same story line. They are all widowers and lost their wives in a "car crash" or "auto crash" or "some type of cancer" and their kids are also died in a "car crash", or their mom and dad are all passed so they are all alone. If you ask what's their name, they will write you a love letter. If you ask where are they from, they will write you a love poem. It made me feel like that they didn't really read what I typed. Instead, all their replies are like a copied and pasted message. They like to pressure you to accept their feelings toward you, they like to propose to you, they will force you to start a relationship with them right away and said that the distance is not a problem for them and they are willing to travel around the world to find their love. It's so unrealistic and it's like a TV drama. Everyone will tell you, "they're hardly come online so let's chat from Yahoo Messenger or Kik or Viber or Skype or Facebook". If I tell them that I don't use any of those then they will encourage me to open an account with them and they are free or install those apps in my phone. Some tells you that "let's talk privately" or "this site is full of scammers so let's talk in other form of chat". Some even asked for my real/full name and my home/work address so they can send me flowers and chocolate.

Honestly speaking, it is quite annoying and irritating. The funny part is, sometimes you get messages from two different people who claimed that they live in a different state but they use the same picture. How funny is that?

I have made a lot of reports to Skout and finally I got banned. I can be careless with whether I get blocked or not. I just wanted Skout to aware of those activity so no one will get hurt. Obviously, Skout didn't care for my reports. I just wish people won't lose their hard earned money over those cold blooded scammers.

If anyone reads my review, please stay safe and don't believe what people tells you and never reveal your personal information and do not send money to anyone. If it sounds to good to be true then most likely, it's a scam.

Pros
None. If you are really bored then you can sign up to kill some time and have fun but I doubt you can because of those scammers. Scammers are very pushy and full of nonsense. They are like a virus.

Cons
Skout, if you don't care for the reports that people made then sooner or later your website will be flooded with full of scammers. I bet in the near future, the scammers will scam the scammers since there will be no real people on Skout.

This site has nothing to offer but scammers on this site!!! I am very disappointed on this site!!! You should be ashamed to allow this to go on!!! Dee fensin

I agree SKOUT seems PLAGUED by SCAMMERS

yes this is the truth this entire time i was falling for it. But thanks to this when i read it. sure enough it is truth same story the army story the crash and making you feel that you are the best thing that ever happen to them. the like to use kik private message Be very careful. another one from this app with in one day of chatting ask me for money, that was a big red flag. They will use your picture to create another account with your picture and your name. Don't give them personal information. good luck

i agree this guy i am talking to says he is a sergeant in the us army and that his wife died in some gas accident.

yeah i agree there are lots of fake person in skout ,its everything all well said in here....

I agree with above review. There are a lot of scammers on this site. And my account was closed twice suddenly for no apparent reason. I would not pay for a service on this site. I'm glad I didn't. I would not recommend this app!

December 2017 they are still at it. The site should be shut down at this point and now the scammers have moved on to other dating websites. Its scary! Never know who you are conversing with. Be careful!

All those things are completely truth. They start saying that you are the love of their lives, that they work in the marine, in the army and they will come to visit you. After this they start asking for money to pay their phones, a work permit and many stuff. This site should be closed.

Hey everyone I'm basically writing to warn others about a user on scout using to completely fake names but same picture by lo key and james not even his name i thought this person was actual human but is just down right not human. I really didn't know any other way around to warn other girls about this
