"I was born a poor black boy. I remember the days, sittin' on the porch with my family, singin' and dancin' down in Mississippi..."
OK I probably didn't get that quote just right. Anyway I don't have a verified photo just yet, but I am a card-carrying member of the V Club.

Enter chat, without a cam connected to your PC, click to allow chat to access your cam (which isn't there) and it displays that you have a cam available, when people click to view, it obviously doesn't work, but that must be an error, you've agreed to let it access, so you MUST be real.
That's atrocious!
I have had a couple of weird run-ins lately with males pretending to be females. One messaged around a week ago, pretending to be a female. He used the same information that he used when he spoke to me as a male, only he changed his gender. The 2 pictures he sent me looked suspect, so I used TinEye to verify that they were indeed posted elsewhere.

I say just use your best judgment, utilize TinEye when they send you pictures, and be wary of giving out your own information.
