Title: Ways to Avoid "BOGUS"Peepz Online.... Post by Wicked_Witch on Aug 30th, 2005, 2:42am Hello, folks ;DMany a times we have heard of stories about how this person and that person has been cheated by the other person's real identity.(Ouch! Did I just hit myself on the head? ;D)Anyway, let's all contribute something to help each other, ok? Post your ideas here...like--should you insist that the other person get on cam? ask for a copy of the birth certificate and/or driver's license? ;D demand that he/she meets you in person first before you go deeper into the relationship? Post away, kiddo's ;) |

Title: Re: Ways to Avoid "BOGUS"Peepz Online... Post by NorKay on Aug 30th, 2005, 2:09pm LOL.Well,yes webcam is the best proof when about seeing his/her real appearance.Not to really see if she/he looks good but to see if he/she's really the one you're talking online.LOL. I know someone's story about this fake thing and it's so funny,but to all my online friends,Im real ;) ;D |

Title: Re: Ways to Avoid "BOGUS"Peepz Online... Post by mylane on Aug 30th, 2005, 3:27pm [qoute]webcam is just good to see the person real appearance but other than that it still different. He/She could be bogus as well. I will ask for his cellphone number, company number, landline number, home address and his mother's phone number. ;D[/qoute] How about also asking the person to live with you for a few days? ;D So now we have established that a webcam is not a sure way to find out if the person is real, huh? I'd say if the person is way too "smooth", (the way she/he talks, the way he describes himself/herself) alarm bell should ring in one's head. Because a bogus person would always take extra care in what he/she says to get the other person continously interested in him/her. |

Title: Re: Ways to Avoid "BOGUS"Peepz Online... Post by Wicked_Witch on Sep 12th, 2005, 1:11am Humnnn....I think if the person has invited you to meet some of his friends or family (like his/her kids for example) on the net, that could surely mean he/she is for real? Not just someone who is just out to have some goodtimes online? |

Title: Re: Ways to Avoid "BOGUS"Peepz Online... Post by Wicked_Witch on Nov 7th, 2005, 1:47am Well..If cams and pictures and words can't be trusted, is there something left? How about instincts?Can we trust them? But it's hard also. Coz sometimes, when you really have fallen hard for someone on the net, you tend to be blinded by everything else, right? Sometimes you even get to dislike your friend for saying something against this person you like so much. |

Title: Re: Ways to Avoid "BOGUS"Peepz Online... Post by nelson3082000 on Nov 18th, 2005, 7:17am well you can ask a lot of things on the net but sometimes guys or gals like a little privacy as well and some like to tell all when they meet in person, sometimes we have to respect those things. But if they are real and they talk to you for along time yes they should be giving away more and more of themselves each time. But also we are all different and we all have different views so we cant say what is good for one will be good for the next one, so i say enjoy and take ya time to get to know the person, phone and talk sometimes and enjoy we all are lookin for love how we treat it and respect it is up to each individual.

respecting is right, but look at the story that already happen so dont blame gurls if they protecting themself from people in the net that dont wanna tell bout themself. l meant look at the reality, people can say anything in the net, long distance relationship is hard already, will be harder if they dont wanna tell about their personalities or privacies. in general, l will think... either they dont trust each other, or they hiding something lol |

Title: Re: Ways to Avoid "BOGUS"Peepz Online... Post by Wicked_Witch on Nov 20th, 2005, 11:02am Well, PRIVACY is a valid reason because there are some things that you would rather keep in private till you get to know the other person better. But fooling around just for the heck of it is another matter. I mean if someone do NOT intend to fool the other person forever, he/she should put a stop to what he/she is doing so the other person can get on with her/his life, right? But to keep on fooling someone till you find out for yourself the other one is a fake brings more heartache and bitterness that sometimes the person becomes cynical towards online relationships. Which is tantamount to saying he/she blames the whole net for one single incident such as that, which is totally unfair of course. And the "BOGUZNESS" I am talking about here applies also to those FAKE FRIENDS. I mean you talk to some of them in private, even get friendly with them. Then you tell them a lot of things coz you have started to trust the other person. Next thing you know, your life story, or even the things you confided to that person is all over the net, and with some added "flavor" too to make the gossip juicier, which of course is not true. And then you see this clone harassing you in the room and you wonder why that person knows so much about your private life. Very irritating and so frustrating, eh? |

Title: Re: Ways to Avoid "BOGUS"Peepz Online... Post by astrobloke on Dec 22nd, 2005, 1:01pm From a guys perspective, it gets my hackles up how some women have the attitude that the man must be the one to take all the risks everytime eg. man must show his pic or cam first. I have also been around long enough to wary of the countless fakes, scammers and gays using a feminine nick. Chatters in ac-1 will know that I have very little time for people who want to be completely anonymous ( no profile, pic or mic) |

I totally agree with you and I've had these types of experiences you described. That's why I have become a lot more cautious. If it's too good to be true, that's what it usually is. That's my advice! |

Thank you, somebody. Aren't you somebody I know? hehehehe! But it's not easy to trust anyone on the net, eh? What do we know of the real person behind the computer? Except those we have met outside the net, we are never sure if people are what they say they are, right? I guess we can only console ourselves with the fact that whoever they maybe, they can make us enjoy the time we spend online. Maybe we just should not expect a lot. |

kekekke@somebodyiknow You are right. It has a lot to do with expectations. Just don't expect that person to be perfect the way they may seem to be online. We all have faults and even skeletons in our closet. |

Lol, I was just joking with your ID :PWell, I have always been a pessimist. They say it's bad coz I'm always thinking of the negative side of things. I don't know about them but it works for me all the time. I never really wish or expect things to be in the negative but at least I'm ready when it turned out that way. Less heartaches, less disappointments, less anger. And when things turn positive, the feeling is soooooooo great, like you win the lotto jackpot coz it's unexpected. So I'm weird...but I'm happy. Hehehehe! |

Title: Re: Ways to Avoid "BOGUS"Peepz Online... Post by Justine on Dec 27th, 2005, 9:17pm Sistah, you're being weird is one thing I love about you :o lol Seriously though, like in all things in real life, we should be responsible for our own actions in chat too. If we don't want to be talked about, we should limit talks about our personal lives. Less talk, less mistake. Many people can be cruel though, and so unhappy that they would want others to feel unhappy too. Thing is, there will always be people like that, in real and in chat. While taking extra precaution helps, not taking chat "too seriously" works for me. Chat is supposed to be another means to relax. |

Title: Re: Ways to Avoid "BOGUS"Peepz Online... Post by Wicked_Witch on Jan 6th, 2006, 6:06am On the contrary, not all singles would give out their phone numbers to just anyone. And too, some married women can give out their # if they want to. Do not rely heavily on phone numbers, they are not a guarantee that the person is single or married. ;) I love you too, sistah :-* ...do you have to agree that I'm weird, btw?

Alex, I think you did not read the intro of who "boguz" people are. I am hitting myself on the head here but what the heck. As I was saying...they are people who pretend they are someone else. They post false pictures, false age, false job, false intentions (pretending to be dirt poor and pretending to be deeply in love with someone when all they want and need is to weasel some money out of unsuspecting people)...in other words, false identity. Some has "valid" reasons for doing it. Some simply do it out of perversity. To attract chatters and take advantage of them. You can't just put them on ignore because you don't know who they are or what they are really until it's too late. The net is a free zone. Anyone can be anything. The question is :how can you avoid be made a fool by a boguz person on the net? :P |
