 How can i protect myself fro fraud and scam?
Unfortunately (as on every other community site, too), sooner or later you might possibly talk to someone how tries to trick you. Therefore, never loose your mistrust to strangers and always respect the GOLDEN RULE: never send money to anybody! Never pay - whatever he/she tells you.
If you really want to meet someone from another country: don't hurry, chat, phone and slowly establish confidence. If you feel comfortable, you might consider visiting this person in her/his country. If you respect the golden rule, you will be in perfect safety.
How to detect fraud/scam?
One of the main problems on free dating sites is that many scammers are using them. Although we use a number of automatic and manual methods to block and delete these scams our methods can never be 100% safe.
A dating scam usually involves the following steps:
* The scammer posts an attractive photo (such as attractive professional photo model photo) and fake profile on a dating website.
* The scammer sends the same message to many members. In this message the scammer usually express his / her interest in the member and provides a free mail address (yahoo or hotmail) and prefers to continue the discussion by email or messengers with no webcam.
* If the scammer gets replies, he/she will present stories (a relative died, he / she was traveling and his / her pocket was stolen, etc.) and will claim how bad his/her current situation is and needs help and support to overcome it in some way. The story is usually very emotional and will easily gain sympathy and affection from the victim.
* No matter what the story is, after a short or long period of establishing trust and desire, the scammer will ask for money to be sent by Western Union, Monogram, cash money orders, send merchandise, etc..
If you suspect that a member’s profile is fake, please, immediately use the button “Report this mail” and never send any money. We will investigate and take the required steps to delete / block the profile in question.

Photos: Why has my profile photo been deleted?
To improve the quality and attractivity of froomity for all, we have tightened the rules for profile photos: the photo must show you (in evidence) in person - nothing else. Even other people or anymals on the picture are not allowed here. If your photo doesn't match this rule, it will be deleted by our support team. Use your photo albums for any other pictures of friends, animals or whatever.
Voting: I'm missing the top list for my own country!
A toplist for a country will be available as soon as there are at least 25 women or men from this country with at least 10 won duels. Therefore, the solution is to wait or - even better - promote froomity in your country to reach this figures :-)
