[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a married woman who was on OKC and was upfront that I was married. I was amazed at how many men contacted me stating they were also married, but their profile indicated they were single and made no mention of being married. [/quote]

Man here and I know some men in my circle who do this. It's to avoid blackmail scammers. They look for people who are married and get them to admit to wanting to hook up in online chat or video chat, then threaten to tell the person's spouse.

The way they find you is that people use photos that are used on other sites, like the professional headshot from the "about us" page on their company.. and they can google image search it. Then they know who you are and can track down the rest online. I read about one guy who got taken for $10k in hush money.[/quote]

Lame excuse. Any blackmail scammer worth their salt would just set up a fake ad from a married women seeking married men and watch the suckers roll in.[/quote]
