Caution!! Beware of Harriches

Well, I didn't know whether I should send a complaint to the site moderators or not, but at the very least I thought I should send everyone on here a heads up about a situation. There is a new member on DS who is merely using this site it seems to find himself a date. He has sent out numerous 'hugs' to quite a few women on DS simply saying Hello Beautiful...

I'm not sure what this persons' intentions are, but he has joined no communities and doesn't seem to be interested in what this site is truly for, which is support for people who need it. I want him to get the message that this is not a dating site and those of us who are in a relationship do not wish to be getting unsolicited messages/hugs merely with the intention he seems to have. I have nothing against meeting that special someone in your life online, that is how my boyfriend and I met, but I didn't use or misuse a site like this to do so and neither should he be allowed to be able to.

Wishing everyone health and happiness, *hugs to my DS friends*

THANK YOU FOR THE WARNING, IF IT IS SO THEN I AGREE LIKE YOU THERE ARE PLENTY OF SITES ON THE INTERNET FOR MEETING OTHER PEOPLE FOR THIS SORT OF THING. PEOPLE COME ON SITES LIKE THIS TO BE IN CONTACT WITH OTHERS IN THE SAME SITUATION AS THEMSELVES TO GET HELP AND ADVICE. LOVE AND HUGS TO ALL

Thanks. I doubt he would "hug" me, but I'm glad you made this aware. It might even have been more dangerous than it looked.

Yes, I agree, you did the right thing letting us know. We are our own defense when it comes right down to it. So just like with our medical problems, we have to arm ourselves with the proper tools and information against those or that which would hurt us. Thank you!

I actually do a little bit of screening when it comes to friend requests. I make sure it's someone I've interacted with, or, is a member I recognize from my communities. All it takes is a quick look at THEIR profile to check them out.

I've had a couple request from people I don't recognize and/or aren't in my communities. I just figure they are building their friends list from the friends list that I am on, and are they are just random requests.

I agree with Kabelladonna.
I always check the people out that I add to my friends list. I click on their name and read their profile. We can never be too careful.!

I also got a hug from someone who is not a fibro member! I thought it was creepy too!!! Now I'm going to try to figure out how to report him!!
Should we say who it is here?
Thanx Cindy

1 thing I do, to sort of protect my privacy is I set my journal to "Just Friends" I really don't want people I haven't put on my friends list reading about my life. I hope everyone does this. Because if you don't anybody can read it, and sned you stuff.

But then how is a new person going to get to know ANYONE! This has been a problem for me!! It really has been a struggle to find the people that really "click" with me.

This is not a dating site and when I looked him up he states that he is looking for a date.How rude of him to come on a site like this looking for his next date.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
