So 3 times on this site over the past few years, I get a request for a game...I start playing the game ...the person starts to chat... how are you, whats your name, etc...hows the weather, are you married (always females...). game play continues....then they ask if I have "Telegram". I say no..."oh well I cant chat here as they keep disabling my account". or "I cant chat here, I prefer to use telegram".  One time it was Google chat...  One time it was some marine who was home for leave, needed money for her sick grandma... another one was some lonely person that wanted to chat... and wanted to know if I cheat on my wife lol....this third one I do not know what they want other than for me to desperatly chat via telegram because "im so nice and she loves my energy" lol

Curious of if Chess.com knows this is happening on their site?  I find it fairly commical...

You should report them.

The site can't monitor all chats

I did not know that, but out of all the games I have played here, it is just these 3 lol normally I have had no other issues in the past 10 years or so here... just was curious if this is super common here or not... but thank you for that tip Bobby_Max! grin.png
