Hi admin, just wondered if you'd be prepared to say how many fake profiles you bin off in the average week - seems quite prevalent at the moment - I see new profiles in my local feed who disappear an hour or so later - any idea? |

Well I have reported several over the months who are just trying to get you to join a different pay site - others just either sound too good to be true or have had little time spent on filling out the profile - genuine people want to "sell themselves" in a good way and attract the right people - you can usually spit the fakes |

If spending little time filling out a profile means its fake then there are literally thousands of fake male profiles on here! 
Many new profiles that disappear soon after opening can just be people realising its not fof them or like myself when I first joined, being so overrun with messages I thought sod this and left!
There are probably lots but they don't bother me in the slightest. |

"Did I name and shame? Simply asked for an opinion "
Indeed you did however, naming people in the forums is not allowed I do believe. As I said earlier, fake profiles really don't bother me, I never give them a second thought. There are hundreds of male profiles like the one you mentioned, no pics, one sentence, are they fake, who knows, all I know is I won't be messaging them any time soon! |

So you report profiles as fake if you think their too good or have a small amount on them .....
Geez I bet admins like "oh no not him again"

No not at all - the spammers with the obvious repeat profile I will but otherwise I just ignore - my question to admin was simply how many fake profiles do they bin off - purely from an interested point of view |

They won't give you that sort of information me thinks.

"Actually he didn't name and shame if you read his post correctly Unless you read his post before he removed it, it would be impossible to tell!"
I did name a profile and quickly deleted it when it was pointed out to me that I couldn't - I was not shaming however I was simply asking for a general opinion as to whether it was thought that the profile concerned was genuine or not - unsurprisingly it has since disappeared... |

I get about 40
Fakes a day maybe more. I had a stalker 'in real life' so I'm kind of
Scared thinking this is him.
I just block.
Then a few hours later they delete
