That is a good point, the dating site: first i like to say, all the dating sites free or paid one have scammers on, in most cases the owner don't really care because they own a business and a business it's to make money. See how it works: For the ladies it is most of the time free registration, scammers or not they send you message and you guys have to pay to answer them...so the site is starting to make money at this point,,,but the scammers them they can send almost 100 messages in the first hour they are online and certain % of man will pay to be a member just to answer them. So up to now only 2 are making money, the site owner and the scammers. So even if you tell the admin of the site to remove a profile because you got scam, they might do it but after a certain time and even the very popular dating sites don't rush to remove them and even if they do, the scammers come back and caught some other innocents. Billions of $$$$$ are gone with the scamming stories every year....The only way to prevent the scammers for the dating site admin or owner it is to do it manually and i know only one dating site that is doing that but it doesn't mean that is no scammer on her site but a lots less because this dating site owner also manage and own an anti-scammer site. But for all the rest they just don't give a crap if you get scam or not as long they make money, that is the most important for them. So it is not safer on a pay site...
