It’s getting ridiculous now. Had about 30 messages of obviously fake profile saying “hi” or “hey”
They all have the same bio wording just different town and city names. They all say
“We are a couple from *insert town* and we'd like to meet women, couples.”
Why would you waste your time doing this?

There and to the left a bit |
It's not just couples OP - I'm aware of at least one "single woman" profile from Ireland that was incredibly popular to the point of getting on page 1 of Hot Pics etc all of who's pics were "borrowed" from another site - after numerous reports and eventually a couple of forum threads that effectively outed her - the pics were removed and the profile went UNLOS but is back with a new name now posting different pics from the same site.
Slightly different I know - but there's only so much that can be done to stop the fakes from an admin perspective - so just have to be on our guard as users against them and report when they are spotted.
It does make you wonder how many others there are like it though.
Why they do it is beyond me - ego boost in some cases, attention seeking in others, some sick and sordid thing in others and in the case of the profiles you reference I wonder if you engaged with them if there's be a suggestion to visit their paid website or similar scam somewhere along the line.
Like I said all you can do is be vigilant and report them. |

That's the standard bio wording when you open an account, it's automatically generated. Until you change it. |

I thought someone had been quiet recently! |
