I Found Someone

Post Reply New Topic

I met a man almost 2 weeks ago, we been texting everyday, he is a doctor, we been texting on WhatsApp.

Can someone fall in love in almost 2 weeks? Not me, I really don't know how I'm feeling. Most of the time, I cannot think right being in the group home.

Congratulations.

I hate to say it, but I assume that you met him in person and not on-line.

Congratulations kitty

Keep us updated please

Not to be negative or anything, but a doctor, a highly paid person who presumably is highly functioning, even by NT standards is romantically interested in somebody who lives in a group home? This sounds suspicious.

He could be a predator posing as a doctor.

From what I’ve heard, people claiming to be doctors is a fairly common scam on dating apps. I’d be cautious no matter what.

We all wish everything works out for the best.

I'll second that

I know that I need to be safe, he show me his work ID & Driver License. My dating site was Badoo, they verify photos.

Gosh.. am ..hoping you guys ,turn out GOOD . ..( congradulations )

Be very wary of him asking you to do anything like:
1) setting up a bank account for him
2) sending him money
3) receiving packages or payments for him
4) asking you to give him your password
4) in general, anything that makes you question what he really wants

One thing that you should always do with any of these dating app suitors is to submit the photo that they send you to Google's Image search, paste the photo, and see if the photo is used anywhere else on the Internet and how it is used there.

Go to https://images.google.com/, click on the "search by image' in the right hand side of the box, drag and drop the image, and click search.

Also, enter the name they give on Google and see what it finds. even better enter their name and the word "scam" and click enter.

If there is a problem, the sooner you find it, the better. Remember that you don't have to tell him that you are checking his out. In fact, it's better not to tell him. If he is a scammer, then he will do his best to stop you from checking him out. If not, you don't want to make him think that you don't trust him.

I agree: we all hope this is legit, but it sounds like the start of so many date scam horror stories that caution is warranted.

I agree with everything in kokopelli's list.

It is a scam.

The so-called soldiers and doctors on dating apps are always scam.

From what I read, the photo verification process on Badoo involves members taking a selfie mirroring a specific gesture, which is then compared with their profile photos by a moderator to confirm it's physically the same person.

It seems like someone could easily pose for a person if they were in the business of scamming people.

The work ID and driver’s license could be fake. It’s not hard to make fake ones. From what I read, Badoo has a fair amount of scammers. Sure, people can be the same as their profile photos from a purely physical standpoint (although even that’s not a given) but still not be who they say they are.

^ What others have said.

Kitty, there is about a zero chance you are dating a doctor. I'm not being harsh, but there is no reason why a doctor would date a disabled person in a group home.

The 'doctor' would have to have a Jesus-like level of generosity for this to happen if he were a real doctor, but he isn't a real doctor.

The fact that you would believe that you are dating a doctor that you met online just two weeks ago, worries me.
