Rachel's Story
If you read the home page you would've started to get an idea of what I've been through, there is so much to this story that I won't be able to fit it into a few paragraphs but I'll try my best!

In September 2014 I was at a good friends BBQ when they suggested I went online as I had been single for a while. I was a bit reticent as I'd never ventured down the online dating route before so when I finally agreed they set me up a profile on Tinder. Then the swiping began! I think I actually got RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) from the amount of swiping left and right I was doing and became quite addicted to this new form of virtual dating. Bored with Tinder I moved over to another site and set up a profile. With Tinder you can only talk if you have both swiped right but with this other site anyone can contact you and I got bombarded from the minute I put my photos up. I had so many profiles and pieces of poetry sent to me with many strange requests and messages including 'Will you be my Dominatrix?' It completely freaked me out!
Natalie's Story
I wasn't scammed as such but was being messaged by a guy who claimed to be in the US army, deployed to Syria. It took me less than 24 hours to suss him out as I was brought up in the military.
I reported him to the US Army CID via their website. Who in turn involved the FBI, they confirmed he wasn't real. It's worth sharing this link because it's really easy to report them or just find out if they're real in the first place.
