Let's be realistic guys: there are bad people in this world as well as good ones. No dating site can give you 100% guarantee that you won't come across a scammer. Another thing is that plenty of dating sites are originally using different phony schemes. As for j4l, I won't call it a phony site, because they indeed have plenty of real and verified profiles, but even if they verify a woman's id and her marital status, there is no way they can guarantee that this woman will make a good, honest and faithful wife. It's relatively easy to identify a scammer, guys: she instantly "falls in love" with you, rarely talks about herself and her family, tends to have romantic non sense conversations with you all the time, and sooner or later she asks you for money. Just stay away from such women, no matter what site you're using!
