If so what did you do about it? DO you understand their point or do you not trust them again? Does anyone know how to check someone out?
I need some input here.

Chat is just a microcosim of the world in general....you have your liars, lunatics , and fabulous "real" people.!

I would be very leary of anyone pretending to be someone else...I don't care how they explain it :rolleyes If you are really interested in this person, get a background check at "Peoplesearch.com". They give you a full background check, including current and former addresses, phone number, family members, neighbors, aliases, marriages, employment history, financial debt record, and criminal history if any for about $40.00. (Scary huh?)

I think I heard somewhere that there is a free site that allows you to check on a person. I think it is scary because anymore you can find out anything about someone just by getting online! - CRAZY! - I personally would rather not have any of my info out there, period. - BUT you can get a detailed map to someone's house, look at the satellite pictures of someone's house, etc. What is this world coming too?

I have never been on an online chat room or dating service - I know several that have. I am an old fashion type of gal, so I'm not into all of that anyway. I believe in the meeting in person, seeing each other face to face or knowing the person pretty well before you even go out - I think I live in the wrong century!!! HA!
