Following is profile information from rodney23443 on Mate1.com - clearly a scammer. If you read the profile info closely, it suddenly begins to sound like it is coming from the female perspective. Also notice the poor grammar and the immediate request for me to go off of the site and head to his email. I have reported this profile to Mate1. Beware of this one!

Here is how he introduces himself...

Thank you for posting this one Dragonfly.

As you pointed out, this is a definite fake profile. The scammer seems to be having some difficulty remembering whether he is playing a man or a woman!

This kind of mistake is not uncommon--it happens when a scammer cuts and pastes information from another profile and doesn't review to make sure it makes sense.
