I've just messaged a couple and they seem interested in chatting
But they said they were only basic members and can only send a few messages a day and said if I wanted I could send my email address and chat like that
Just asking does that sound bit dodgy or am I being a bit para |

Sounds well dodgy.
Probably a fake profile. |

Some people do have limited messages due to their membership and so use other methods to chat. However once you're off site you're no longer protected by Fab's rules - scammers and the like certainly exist. It's up to you |

Your gut instinct is correct. Do not message off this site until you are ready. I never had a message limit when I was a basic member. I think there was a limit when I was new for the first week, after a ridiculous number of messages were exchanged in a few days, when I was bombed with mails before I found the magic filters  |

We've never had a limit on messages but we tend not to send that many.
We would, however, be wary of providing an email address early on in a correspondence. Unless, of course, you create a unique one-off address for this situation and can monitor it for spam, phishing etc.
I'm sure people with more experience will be along shortly. |

Ask them to prove that they are genuine by becoming a site supporter (it’s not going to break a normal persons bank!) |

Don't give any 'proper' details.
I have a second email address that I use for anything that may be dodgy, and keep my main email for things I'm certain about.
Or you could suggest Kik instead as I believe that doesn't need any details. |
