It seems that there are quite a few fake profiles on here. Some can be quite convincing and not always that obvious. How do you guys spot and confirm one.
I usually go off arrogant and rude people who have been on the site for months with no verifications.
What do triggers your suspicions. |

As you've mentioned it's easier to just report them asking for further information via the forum knowing that they could see isn't exactly helpful you trying to give them tips  |

The site is packed full of fake profiles and time wasters it’s never going to change. You can tell by the lack of detail in the profile and awful messages you are sent. We just delete and move on. |

"Good shout. How do you report them "
Welcome
By using the drop down menu on their profile it's at top right even if they block you if you remember the user name use the name search and you can still use it  |

What do you mean by fake? A man pretending to be a couple or a woman? |

I am finding a bit of both. I have just had a bad experience with a couple and I have had two ladies. Both of which, there was something not quite right. We got chatting on kik and when I asked for a live face pic, they became really aggressive and abusive. |

Someone pretending to be someone they’re not. We think we are chatting to one. |

We've found some pointers to fake profiles.
Not verified or photo verified yet an old profile is one.
A big age range for people that they will meet, 18-99 is another thing that makes us suspicious.
A vague and rushed profile is another.
We have a feeling that some couples profiles are by a single guy, running the profile, even though he's no longer part of a couple. This is just a hunch tho'.
We find it easiest to be wary of all profiles unless well verified by photo and in person. Veris that can be 'cross referenced' are best.

A lot of people say that mf couples profiles that are 99% pictures of the female is always a red flag. |

I am not, by nature, a suspicious person but can’t accommodate or travel suggests transcendental connection which we all know is suspect! |

But can also be a genuine reason nobody knows exactly how their life is it's not an automatic red flag |

We don't reply unless the verifications trail leads to well verified profiles. If the verifications lead to hidden profiles or go in a triangle to fake looking profiles we'll err on the side of caution and won't reply. Be aware there's a lot of fake verifications on here. As an example a profile may say "if you saw me dogging tonight verify me". They'll get some verifications, mostly from Men with one verification who think their profile will look better with a second one off a sexy Lady. |

We have been on here about six months. Still not met anyone so no veri yet. We were going to attend the mcr social this month but a serious ongoing family problem has caused us to cancel.
We were put off by a guy pretending to be a couple when we first joined. The second time it happened we were on it

"Evasiveness about meeting, or last minute cancellations are an obvious red flag, and unfortunately that’s usually after a lot of time has been invested in messaging, chatting, etc. "
We’ve had exactly the same thing happen to us, we just play along now. |

Some users whom have left the site then returned use the if you remember I'm a pretty judge of character and remember a face even a body, location user details and probably chatted with some but not going to say it doesn't happen but easy to spot and report which helps everyone |

Nobody knows what life can throw at anytime unexpectedly having to cancel, it can be important or even urgent and main focus point whereas everything else less even forgetting to letting the supposed meet their not going to be able to meet so are genuine ones as well only a percentage may message to say or later apologies people forget beyond people have a normal to stressful life |

"No verifications isn't always an indicator especially if a straight guy veris are hard to get, no photo verification is more likely, why wouldn't you photo verify if you could?"
Some users just decide not to it doesn't mean they aren't genuine in my time here have known some whom hadn't for many years and we're still getting meets and only recently decided to. Can be many reasons why they've not genuine ones |
