Scammer

Sounds great, doesn't it!!! OMG!!! You actually got a response from someone on pounced! This could be your dream girl! She'll move in with you, you'll grow old together. All she needs is access to your checking account!, your SSN and perhaps a few thousand dollars.

Lately we have recently been hit with a spat of scammers, some of which have been trickier, and a little more believable then the last bunch. You'll need to be a little more careful when interacting with strangers on pounced.

Please click the (report as spam) link when viewing messages if you get a message you think is from one of these scammers.

These guys have been getting really tricky, for example, this one just showed up on pounced.org.

Please be careful when giving out any personal information to people you meet on online or pounced. We apologize if you got one of these emails or were about to buy plane tickets to some far away place. - There are bad people on the internet.

You can protect yourself online by doing a few things:

  • Don't put your email address in the text of your advertisement.

  • Treat everyone who IMs you or emails you with caution.

  • Don't give out personal information to someone you barely know.


For more information please see: Advanced Fee Fraud and 419Eater to learn more about this type of scam.

Pounced.org version 4.2 includes a few small feature updates. We now have in-site messaging (see the Inbox link to your left?). Better formatting for advertisements, and tagging.

In-site messaging

Now when you respond to an ad or get a response to your ad, we will keep a copy of the message and stick it into your inbox, no more worrying about missing messages!

Better Advertisement Formating

You can now use the following HTML tags in your advertisements:

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, i, b, ul, li, u

Tagging

We now supporting tagging your self with various interest, allowing you to define custom keywords. So for example let's say your interested in fursuits and skiing.

In your profile you would enter those tags in the tag field, separating them with commas, like so:

"fursuits, skiing"

Then when you view your advertisement, these tags will show up there and allow yourself and other users to jump between ads with similar tags.

Updated look and feel

Linking to images in advertisements

If you specify a link to an image in your advertisement, such as:

The site is now limited to users who are 18 and older.

We have decided to restrict usage of pounced.org to users who are 18 and older. You will not be able to register an account unless you are over 18 years of age nor will you be able to login to you are existing account if your not yet 18 years of age. Our terms of service have changed accordingly.

I am under 18 years of age, what will happen to my account?

Your account will become locked until your age is 18 years of age, at which time your account will work again. (At the moment because we only capture your birth year and month, we will not allow you to login until the month after your birth month).

Does this mean that pounced.org will now allow adult images?

Our terms of service regarding the content of the site has not changed. We do not allow adult images.

Why did this happen?

It was a hard decision, there were many factors, the primary of which were:

* Safety of underage users.
* Current trends regarding social networking sites.

What about users who mis-represent their age?

If you see an advertisement in which the user says they are younger then 18 years of age, please notify our administrators and we will disable the account.
