Hidradenitis Suppurativa Support Group
Hidradenitis suppurativa (hi-drad-uh-NIE-tis sup-yoo-ruh-TIE-vuh) is rare, long-term skin condition that features small, painful lumps under the skin. The disease manifests as clusters of chronic abscesses or boils, sometimes as large as baseballs, that are extremely painful to the touch and may persist for years with occasional to frequent periods of inflammation,...
I just received a (unsolicited of course..lol) message, I thought it funny..it has been my "laugh" for the day. The way it is written I can't tell if it is a man or woman, and I was sorely tempted to write them back XD. I will be reporting it, since DS is a site for support NOT a dating site. This kind of stuff aggravates me to no end. IF I was looking to date someone, I would either go out into the world and look or I would go to a dating site, not troll a support site. For laughs, here is the message I received....

I desire to be safe, secured an protected by that special man I generally try to live a somewhat healthy lifestyle, exercising and some sort of jogging, 3-4 days a week and eating healthy, (trust me, I love sweets and pastries, but try not to over do it). I would also like to find a like-minded female where we can participate in activities together and encourage each other to pursue their interests as well.I read and meditate the Word often. I am also a praying man with discernment. I enjoy dancing , sewing, fishing, reading all kinds of books, traveling, or just being cozy watching a DVD , and more, and would like someone to share that with, as well as their sharing their interests with me..
I saw your profile today and became interested in you; am a quiet and sincere man. I love honesty and truth. I trust people very much.I like nature quiet walks in the parks holding hands listening to the whispering breeze and the songs of the birds; admiring the smiling eyes of my lover, I hope to meet my true love, I will give her all myself completely.i wait to hear from you.i wish you will know me well and see me on cam and pictures, no matter how distance,colour or tribe does not matter but love matters a lot in life. i hope to read from you soon Always Yours YIDANA
Thanks,
Greetings With Love.

Ok..first off.."protected by that special man"...and then you tell me you are a "sincere man"? WHICH IS IT?..GRIEF...at least if your gonna scam me..at LEAST keep which gender you are straight.
So much for loving HONESTY and TRUTH, can't even be HONEST about which gender you are.
Second..You saw my profile and was interested in me? Not likely unless you have similar conditions as mine..to which there are none listed not to mention ALL of your newly added "friends" are all female and you have not joined ANY support group here at DS.
Third...IF you had actually looked at my profile and actually READ ANYTHING about me..you would see that serious exercise and jogging is NOT something I'm going to be doing a lot of anytime soon.
These kinds of people make me absolutely SICK. Preying upon people who are in pain or dealing with serious issues because you feel you can scam them easier is just wrong. Guess he isn't "meditating" on THE WORD as much as he should be, if at all.
I swear I am sorely tempted to reply to him, just for kicks.
K my rant is over..thanks for reading..I know it is off topic..but this "person" just caught me at a bad day (new spots in new location have appeared..yay..just friggin yay).
Hope everyone is having as pain free a day as possible.

I deleted it as soon as I got it - thinking it was some kind of spam/scam/virus thing.
This was a few days after I signed up for this site, and gave me second thoughts for a minute... BUTTTT finding all of you here in the HS group was worth getting one random message - and there hasn't another one since.. (GOOD!)
Have a great night!
I also contacted everyone he had "friended" (ironically ALL female) and gave them the heads up on him and also sent them a copy of the message he sent me.
People like him just grate on my nerves, simply because there are folks on DS that are vulnerable and sometimes desperately lonely. And I would bet my bottom dollar hooking up with someone willing to troll a support site for a date is not the kind of person anyone here on DS needs to be involved/in a relationship with.
You have a great night too Sarah!
I've received several unsolicited messages like this since joining DS. There are folks out there who think that this kind of thing is ok, and there are sites out there who go to places like DS and make fake profiles in the hopes they can sucker someone into joining their site in the hopes of finding someone. It is sad that people are willing to do others, especially people needing help, like this.
I have not heard anything else from him, but did hear back from the females I contacted about him. They were all grateful that I had given them the heads up about him, which was nice, but not necessary, in my opinion. The point of joining a support site is to help support the members, and having been here a while, I have seen all kinds of tactics used to try to get members info, scam them into buying quack products, scam them into joining dates sites, and too many others to count. What good is a support site if we are not willing to try to help watch out for one another.
But anyways..I'm rambling. ^._^
This message you got for sure sounds like a Scam though. The scammers use any and all means to ensnare vulnerable people, so I am not suprised they will be on DS looking for victims.
Still, a very funny message haha.
