At SpandexGuys for the past 14 years we’ve been aiming to create a safe environment for everyone. Yet the Internet remains a place of anonymity and with that there are people who try to make a quick buck here and there. Because of that we need to keep reminding you to be cautious with whom you associate online.
Despite our best efforts there will be some individuals who will create a profile with the intent to sell you something or otherwise make money off you. Obviously we try our best to delete profiles who are proven to be fakes or those who ignore our requests to play fair.
Spamming and unsolicited/unauthorized advertising is that we consider unacceptable behavior which are reasons for us to terminate an account/profile.
Many spammers have taken some creative steps to hide their intentions so we thought we’d give you some hints of what to watch out for.
If you are approached by anyone please be careful. Someone may genuinely be interested in you but many people trying to scam others have used the above tactics to get chummy with someone.
If someone approaches you trying to sell or trade lycra gear then be very cautious and make sure that you go through a reputable mediator such as your favorite online auction website and use only secure methods of payment where you can have some hope of getting your money back. Insist on having any goods mailed via registered mail, in other words a transportation means that is under constant scrutiny and control and requires the package to be signed for upon delivery.
We don’t monitor members’ conversations, IMs, messages etc. it would be a breach of trust, unethical and a logistical nightmare. Therefore we urge you to be very careful when dealing with people you don’t know or have not had a chance to get to know. Be careful with your money, with your identity and take care not to divulge and give out personal information as we cannot be Big Brother and accept liability for your actions. Be streetsmart!
