I know I got hacked recently, and i scared him off,
but now every reply I send to someone sayng hi, receives an automatic instant response . say its a good-looking gentleman who sends me a message, a gentleman who has cared about their message and profile, and i reply, no matter what i have said the instant reply comes saying pretty much 'Hi, hello how are you doing'

. If i reply to that, they simply disappear.
I feel targeted now - they have stopped me from meeting anyone because i caught the hacker out, hanging up on him mid-sentence when i heard the dreaded 'african' accent (which did not match the photos of a wealthy chinese man standing in China!)
he laughed at me by text, but i had the last laugh back.

ie. the instant response is always a version of 'Hi, hello how are you doing'. And then they disappear, as in are supposedly no longer interested. all of you gorgeous men are disappearing before we can talk!

It may well be that the member was deactivated by the site but if you suspect any member to be a scammer, we ask that all members use the report system that is in place. You can find the link at the bottom of your e-mails or to the right of their pictures on their profiles. Please use the system in place to report and not the forums so they go to the correct department to be looked into.

Thank you.

Hi Di, thanks, yes i do report and have done using the block and report button. and no I don't report them here, I came for help to solve the issue.

so this is a different matter?

Please bear with me: imagining that i am correct thinking i have been hacked;
If i WERE to report every time this happens, would I be reporting someone who has done nothing except had their account, unbeknownst to them, send me 'boilerplate'. Surely their page is being hacked too and they don't know i am trying to reach back ?

About 15 times in the last week its gone like this:

-man asks question in his initial hello
-i reply to question with the answer
-the reply i get is instant. (which is rare with regular contact)
-the reply always 'hello how are you doing /or hi how are you doing which
that kind of reply says they are an automation, because they appear not to have read my answer, and converationally we had moved on from the greeting.

a robot hack?
feelign like a star-cross lover
thanks heidi

Sorry to hear of the problems you have faced but my advice would be to report this to Support as they are the people to help you with this.
