Sounds like theres been an issue with a member who is no longer on here. probably best left as a lesson learnt.
I'd only ever pay upfront if it was a club then at least you have a landmark to chase it up if need be. |

I was invited to that certain party too decided not to go ( lucky I didn't then ) btw I did post a topic up just before the party asking if anybody was going but no one replied.
Hope it's a lesson learnt anyway be careful there's too many scammers out there |

But that profile had some serious positive verifications dint it? And they said they hold regular parties in London, Luton and West Midlands. Where did the verifications come from them? |

A certain member has been banned for voicing their opinion so be careful what you say, this site doesn't like any negative press. |

I was invited to those parties but declined as soon as paying up front was mentioned! |

Lots of members on here did get scammed due to all the positive verifications, this site did not like that it had been reported to the police. I do feel that the verification system on here is open to abuse and scammers. |

I was invited by the who I think were the scammers the OP mentions.
Luckily I didn't hand any money over!
Sympathies for anyone that did.
I sometimes get a little bit of grief for being reluctant to let go of too much personal info/details on her...but this is precisely why. |

That is totally untrue an itsn't fair to Admin at all.
Any person who say they have been scammed have been advised by Admin to go to the police on this thread which I will copy.
http://www.fabswingers.com/forum/feedback/145272#last
If you see problem profiles, REPORT to Admin.
If you are worried about scammers, don't pay money to anyone over the internet, for anything!
We would also advise: Don't pay money in advance for any party unless you personally know the host.
If you've been ripped off, and think someone has committed a crime, contact the police. They won't be at all worried contact was through a swing site
(Name and shame will never be allowed, since if you were named and shamed, you would probably be pretty upset about it)

Please do not tell blatant lies about Admin. |
