So ive had a guy on here message me who is a bit of a hunk. I looked at his pictures and thought hmmmmm this doesnt look right to me.
I investigate fraud for a living and decided to carry out a image search on his pics. . . And as i suspected i was right!!!
Hes only gone and used someones pictures who was on take me out on his profile.
Catfishes are everywhere . . .
Good Job i know my stuff  |

I had someone message me earlier today.
His torso pics looked too good to be true so I asked him if they were his.
He said yes but from a few months ago.
Did a search on Google reverse image and surprise surprise, they came up on there 
Told him he was a liar and now he's hidden his profile and blocked me 
Maybe he didn't realise it didn't stop me reporting him. |

Catfishes ?
Google it "
So it's either :
a freshwater or marine fish with whisker-like barbels round the mouth, typically bottom-dwelling.
or
someone who pretends to be someone they're not using Facebook or other social media to create false identities
I'm guessing you meant the second  |

I've had similar,I think guys seem to think we're daft. Mine was exactly the same pic apart from a completely 20 years younger face |

Never OVER-estimate the power of Google: there are many sites one can steal pics from without risk of them showing up in a reverse-image search, Facebook being the most common.
I seldom report, and never contact the person, it just means they open a new profile and you have to start from scratch.
Besides, reporting too many profiles can get you into trouble...

"Don't forget though - it is possible for someone to pop up on there if they have profiles on other sites and be legitimate."
I've had this happen!! Mostly "straight" guys who message and then have pics from gay dating and hook-up sites.  |

I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would do this.
Obviously beauty is in the eye of the beholder, is only skin deep, blah blah blah and amen to that, but if you think have a face like a blind cobbler's thumb and the same care put into your appearance as Catweasel then why use images of yourself that depict such outrageous lies?
As soon as you actually meet the object of your affections they will probably tell you to fuck off in no uncertain terms. Whereas if you confess upfront visually to looking like something the proverbial cat dragged in then any meetings you do manage to get you're more likely to end with up to your prunes?
Some people beggar belief, they really do... |

Why would reporting false profiles get anyone into trouble? |

"Oh I didn't know you could do a reverse image search in Google.........
How do you do it? X"
For those who don't know how, this is my favorite way:
Download a plug in off of Google (I have Firefox so I use their add-ons). Both Google reverse image search and tineye are good. I personally used both.
Onxe you have downloaded it, you can right click on any image and choose the reverse image button. And the search will open in another tab, and will even show visually similar images in case the pic has been slightly altered.

I often do this when a new profile looks to good to be true. Had one earlier this week and tineye brought up a lot of results. Reported the same to admin and dealt with very quickly which I appreciate |

Oh my god this sums up all that's wrong about thus crazy debauched world.
Not the fact you use such a thing to vet its the fact you have to that's so wrong about this crazy world, dear god what are the guys or women if any use fake pictures thinking the mind boggles are people really that desperate for meets or is it about tricking proving something on a deeper level .
I'd love to know what a physiatrist would make of such behavior . |

In real life I'm properly ripped with a 6 pack to die for. I just choose to post chubby pics I sourced off the internet to keep my PMs and inbox at a manageable level, so I use this tactic in reverse   |

I remember even though i reversed search his pix, different one on different website, he still tried to convince me there were his...
He wanted me to meet him still, creepy to think he could have been a killer. |

How do you do it? X"
First, right click on the image here, and "copy image location" or "copy image URL"
Go to images.google.com
Click on the camera icon inside the search box
Paste the previously copied URL. (ctrl+v)
Taadaah!

I do this all the time, it's very easy to do on my android phone. I'd say at least 10% of photos on male most fabbed are stolen from the wed, as are quite a few on the "all" section of most fabbed. I've reported a few, but after reading Mr ddc's post I'm not sure I should now. Could you explain why please?

I had a very famous gay porn star message me a couple of days ago. When I queried him, he claimed the porn star had stole his pics. Obviously also forced hum to star in the videos I was watching too!! |

Cos I messaged the guy on Twitter. It seems they have made a tinder account also. I pulled this profile up on it and they blocked me . . . So I'd guess I caught him out |

"There was a guy using a very early picture of Rod Stewart it did make me laugh."
I was on another well known swingers site before I joined here (my profile is still on the other one but I don't use it anymore). The amount of fakes on the other site was ridiculous, I've seen profiles with pics of Johnny Cash, Dave Batista from the WWE, Zinedine Zidane, Tom Cruise, and the best one of all was Elvis Presley (really Elvis didn't die he still lives and is now a swinger! |
