What’s a shame is that few years ago CL Casual Encounters used to be a total party, with real ads from real girls meeting for NSA sex and alternative relationships.

Sometimes the sites will have just one profile, usually of the person who you originally contacted, even though it is all a Scam and the pictures are stolen and the person uses a fake throw-away email address, unregistered and secretive websites with little info about them. … read more >
