I suspect they get some sort of thrill. It has always been a problem . More of one on the net. I think back to all the discussions on the most popular posting and exchange sights. Adults discovering that they in fact were chatting with children as young as nine. Boys and girls claiming to be adults Playing a game. Why is this relevant, think it was a very popular thing to do and those children are now young adults. maybe the love of the game is too much to give up. Some of course have other motives. Myself I'm just a little more concerned by those who seek information unrelated to making a connection. How do you dress, your exact location, are you a professional, how much money do you make.All of them ask on this forum. Personally i think it is unwise to put too much personal information out there. I understand the real people who get mad or frustrated but too much information to get verified to ease that frustration might be the biggest mistake ever.
