for my first journal, i post this warning, because i don't want any of you to be duped like i was. here it is:
-pays for furrymate membership so he can chat with the people sending him messages-
-doesn't receive inbox messages from people that he did BEFORE paying for membership-
-cancels furrymate account by sending email to them, as per their site rules-
-almost immediately receives more messages in my inbox on the site-
-talked to TWO IRL friends about what messages they've gotten in their inbox, and you guessed it, THEY ARE FROM THE SAME "PEOPLE"-
yeah...it's all coming together now....sleazy scammers....fake profiles....robbing people of their money....
**if you have an unpaid account on furrymate, i'd bet that you have gotten messages from some/all of the following:
cococat, melodi, mialana, hyper, pamala, relliapurr
because it's a scam.**
DON'T JOIN FURRYMATE, THEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY AND BABIES DX
seriously though...don't give into this scam...i feel so naive for doing it, and i hope none of you go the same path
Repost if you'd like, to spread the word....people need to know about this
I used to use Furrymate when it was a free membership a couple of years back, then earlier in the month I thought I'd maybe give it another try, but this time they wanted you to pay for even the basic membership. I thought it was a rip off, not worth the money since its no guarantee you'll find someone you love in that amount of time. Good journal warning Chayce!

That's a good warning. Over a year ago, someone once told me to use that site, but when I was met with a paywall, I said forget it. There was a really interesting article on FLayrah regarding these scammy websites.
