you've made friends with people on here and they have always seemed nice and caring, but after a while, you discover who they really are. They are not as nice as they had claimed to be. In fact, they are not really nice at all. It's all very easy to remove them from your own page, but what about the friends you have in common? How do you tell them? How do you let them know that someone is more a threat than a friend?

This is a very tough and sticky situation for one to be in as this person who has the information which other people don't have to a degree has a moral obligation to let the ones that they care about know yet at the same time they run the risk of being alienated by people due to the fact that it's a matter of he said she said. It's a case of you're screwed of you do and your screwed if you don't. Anyway I have truly been wondering about certain people on here myself. It's getting to a point in which I feel that it might be better off to just be friendly with people but at the same time do so from a distance. Wow this is a situation in which I wouldn't want to be in at all.

Unfortunately there are gonna be some fakes on here that's a given. The ones that are genuine over time will be easy to spot from the ones who are not. So try and not take this whole thing too seriously. But to answer your question if you think someone is a real threat to your on line friends. Write them a email to give them a heads up about whats going on.
Good luck hon

This would be a very tough one, but if you feel that your friend is in danger of being hurt or something like that, then do let them know! Write them a message and tell them as kindly as you can what happened to you...this is one that you would have to follow your gut on! Not much help, but we know people can "pretend" to be nice for only a short time before their true selves come out...in life, and on here too! Too many people trying to "play" others, it's sad really.
Take care!!!
Sometimes, we just remove that person and let the others figure it out for themselves (unless a threat, of course)

I honestly don't know. My first inclination is to trust people to be who they say they are, but then that was due to having one account in a year. That trust is tempered somewhat since I then went through 3 in four days.
I wish I knew what motivates people to behave so hatefully under the guise of friendship. I can't imagine that I've wronged anyone here, but someone sure must think I have.

Be always upfront and sincere and tell them that things are not right between this friend they have in common and you but you like them and you wish to still be friends with them. Tell them to keep their eyes on this friend because not everything seems to be as they seem and be careful.

That is hard because saying something makes you sound/feel worse. But I have come across that and have yet to figure out what to do. I just don't want people that I know are good people to be hurt in the end, by those that are just out for the attention or 'game'.

Oh, this is such a sad question. I suppose just let them know that you have nothing in common with them and wish them well. Honesty is always key and I am sure the friends that you would be warning would appreciate it.

Try to avoid depending on friends to meet new people. You want a circle of friends - a core group - but most of your friendships should be one-to-one so if anything goes wrong you can drop them without having to drop a group of friends.

I agree with Rhi...
But sometimes you have to say something...even if it is just a "fyi"...but you also have to remember that they have to decide for themselves as to what to do and you have to honor that...unless your talking about a straight up stalker, then you have to let your friend know that you may have to bow out and why...

You should be more careful and don't get to attached to anyone new.
