This site has made a huge effort in seeing to it that members don't get scammed by sharing information with other members prematurely. They have specific timeframes as to when one can share pertinent contact information with each other.

Around a year or two ago, I met a girl from France on this site and we chatted online for a while, realising we had lots in common and that it was really fun to chat about differences in Scottish and French culture, music, food, school etc. We sent each other physical mail and i still have the pictures she sent and the zine she made me up on my wall. We now text and voice message every couple weeks!!! So glad I used globalpenfriends!!!
