I know that a lot of people who use such forums are genuine but for the genuine ones please beware. There are a lot of people who use these forums who are not genuine at all - I have had some approach me on this forum. They claim to be lonely, they claim to be sad, they try to get sympathy, but their real motive is to get your email address and then switch the chat to there, where it is not monitored, then try to get you to give them money or meet them or help them out in various other ways - they may ask you to or they may give you a sob story in the hope you offer - but remember that all or much of what they tell you is lies anyway. Some of them are not very good at trying to con others, they contradict themselves in their stories and fantasies, or they tell lies that are so obvious you laugh, but some of them are very good at it, if you are not used to dealing with people or very trusting or feeling very down and lonely you could easily fall for it.
