Have any of you noticed a lot of men with attractive photos starting games with you...and trying to start chats? I first had this happen a month or so ago and have since had 5 or 6 guys do it. I’m guessing it’s a new way for scammers to try to reel in unsuspecting women.

Yes. Same with Instagram. Every morning I wake up to one or two requests from men I don't know wanting to follow me. Delete. lol

OMG YES!!!! All of a sudden out of the blue I started getting requests from all of these men and they all want to chat, once I don't respond back or tell them I don't/won't chat they don't want to play anymore.

Lucy, I started a game with you. I'm Terkel and am playing with a few other peas. When I say I'm playing I should really say I am losing games with some other peas😁.

Yes, I've noticed that. Once I googled the name and the name and picture don't match.

I have noticed guys trying to chat beyond the occasional hello. I've even had two different guys (supposedly) that became over friendly and when I didn't respond the way they wanted, they resigned mid game. It's like they're trying to use it as a dating site. A few of the people I often play have even changed their names to include the words, "No Chat".

I don't get games from strangers. Do I have some kind of setting checked that disallows that?

I read that changing your profile pic to anything other than a photo of you yourself or any other woman can help prevent that. (Or use a pic of you that also includes an obvious significant other.)
I don't know if it really works, but some people were swearing by it.

No I have not had men try and start WWF games with me. I'm 62 and my dog is my profile picture so maybe that is why. Thanks for the warning.  |

Yahtzee with Buddies, too. It’s really annoying.
