After speaking to a guy on and off for several months finally arranged a meet, twice he cancelled once with a plausible excuse, the other not so but I have now discovered through Tineye and Google reverse image search that his pics have all been lifted off of the net, not from other social sites but stock image and foreign adverts, now I know the thing is to report and if I do, I know he will have a pretty good idea that it's me that has reported him but my worry is that if he is some nutter and is the type to seek reprisal, that he has my address as I gave it to him the second time when he was on his way and nearly here |

if the person didnt meet you twice i think its highly unlikely he will come to your home.
I think you are safe
good on you for reporting him x |

Don't worry about what you don't know, and can't do anything about. Some individuals capitalise on people reacting in this way. Cross those sort of bridges when the time comes, if ever it does. You have many options available to deal with anyone who pesters you online, and I'm sure site admin are very used to dealing with this problem, and will be very helpful should it be neccessary.

Or just block him
Let others find out for themselves he's a timewaster!
Little tip tho, if you do accommodate new meets, give them your postcode (no number) then let them ring you when they approach your street and walk down to meet them.  |

Good tip above! I'd report the guy and as far as I know admin don't reveal details of who's reported a fake profile. He could be chatting to loads of other people who've twigged he's a fake. Good luck whatever you decide to do. |

Why not meet him in public first??
No need to give out your address!
