On skout for android, met someone with profile name "jane lee" (Pic provided below). Ultimately we communicated on other platforms and they - unbeknownst to me - video taped me doing vulnerable graphic things. And then the extortion attempts, threats to ruin my life, post on social media began. Whoever made that profile is an extortionist, a fraud and a...

Skout fill phone number.

I don't see why I have to fill out this box as a human being you should have a option if you want to put in your phone number so you could get more personal or we should have an option not to it's like you guys are forcing us to put our personal phone number I already have my information on my profile why do I have to put in my phone number just to verify that I'm human I'm freaking verifying that I'm human complaining to you about this [censor] I think that's enough to verify that I'm human. Is ridiculous it seems like it's mandatory like I have to like you're putting a gun to my [censor]ing head just to fill out my [censor]ing phone number. Yes I am upset excuse all the curses but I'm very upset about this whole week on this app and now you guys ask me for my freaking phone number.

Skout rude users

One day on Skout a few weeks ago, someone made a post and I commented on it (not really saying anything bad, I was just stating my opinion) and these two users (Jacob and Boywar27) starting attacking me out of the blue saying that I was ugly, and that I will die alone and that I don't have a boyfriend because I can't do anything right, etc. I screenshotted and posted two pictures of their comments down below.

Skout receiving pictures

Ever since I started using skout on my laptop when someone goes to send me a picture it tells them I'm not accepting pictures. How do I fix that it is really annoying I love the app but not that and I have no idea how to fix it. Please help me fix it. I can send them pictures but they can't send me pictures and I don't understand why it's doing that.

Skout I can't login due to the ask of a phone number. I put in my phone number and it says it's a none valied phone number but it obviously is

My email is [protected]@gmail.com and please email me for help. I loved in before with no problem but then I kept going to this screen asking for my phone number. My phone number didn't work for some reason, so I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it but that just seemed to make it worse because now I can't even log in. The screen said if I got the page by accident, then to contact support.

I have been blocked for no reason. My name is Tanna on the datimg site. My email is [protected]@icloud.com. I think somebody turned me in falsely because I had them deleted from the site. There are a lot of scammers on the site and I turned them in. I've been on the site for almost 2 months with no complaints. Then all the sudden I get blocked. If you think...

I got a text last night that turns out was not the person I was talking with. They enrolled my phone number into your system. Please remove my number and any information of my person from your system. I will not be responsible for any actions based on this scam.

Skout credentials

Hello, my email I use (linked through facebook) is [protected]@gmail.com
Every time I try to send a message, it says please fill in, so I put my number, and it says it is invalid. Please fix this.
If you need information regarding any photos I have on it. Just let me know at my email. I enjoy talking with the people on here. But this part just makes me a little annoyed.

Skout being blocked

HI my name is James, and I have really know idea why I'm blocked from account. From what I read on the "Please fill in" it said many people think your fake and that they wanted to give my number out. Which find nothing bad at all, but while I tired that, it didn't except myphone number in USA. Anyway I've told people when I text them that I'm not fake, I give them my snap if they really think I'm fake your some type of app to actually see the person. So it be amazing if u guess can fix this problem. I would appreciate it. Please notify me on my email which is

[protected]@gmail.com thank you

Skout blocked account

There was this dude that sent me multiple unwanted DICK pics and he also told me to send a picture of my boobs. I tried messing with him by saying 'Will you give me money if I send one?' (I just told him this because I got tired of people on this app asking for nude photos). He said no, then I said 'Ok. Then no pics.' But then I also told him that I was just kidding. Then I sent a cropped photo of a man's boobs (it looked like actual woman's breasts). He obviously thought it was a woman's. Then I asked him 'if he wanted to see the photo with my face on it' so I can reveal that it was not me but a man. He said yes and I sent the actual photo. He then proceeded to tell me that the man was my father and that my father was gay. Which makes no sense at all so I told him that he was a [censor] and reported him.

But then when I tried to use the app the next day, my account was 'banned' because I broke their terms. I emailed support and they told me that I was banned because I was 'soliciting money for SEXual photos'.

If this [censor] read the whole thread, she would've known that I was messing around with this dude because he disrespected me by sending photos of his ugly [censor].

If I was really trying to solicit money, then I should've done this to more than one person. And why the [censor] would I report the man I tried to solicit money from? I know that they will see our conversation so I'll also be in trouble if I did that.

This dating app caused me a lot of trouble because now, I can't find the one actual guy who I was having a very very nice conversation with. Thank you very much for ruining that for me Skout.

Jesus [censor]ing Christ.
