Scam Prevention
We do not tolerate scammers. Suspicious profiles are suspended immediately and deleted upon investigation. You can also help removing the scammers off our site by reporting them to us by clicking on the "Report Abuse" link on the profile, or write to us at: contact@2redbeans.com.
- Protect yourself with the following precautions:
Do not reply to message from a user whose profile has been deleted. The deleted users are mostly likely scammers reported by other members.
Do not send money to anyone you do not know.
Do not give out your credit card number to anyone on the website or through off-site messages.
Do not give out your name and address to anyone to help a "business transaction".
Do not believe anyone's story who claims to be the heir/son/daughter/prince/princess of a rich man/king in any corner of the world.
- Warning Signs of scammers:
Scammers use fake photos. Do a photo search on google if you are suspicious.
Scammers ask for your email address and personal contact right away to avoid being caught by web admins.
Scammers ask for money for made-up stories.
Scammers can send you checks to cash for them and those fake checks will bounce in your bank.
