"Cpls profiles that say Mrs is out mr needs company
Every weekend"I agree with this setting off alarm bells but I know one couple on here who are definitely genuine (we've met) and she does post these types of statuses and meets regularly | |||
"If you tell all in a public forum on how to spot a fake, it will make it even harder in the future as they take steps to counteract your hints and tips." People keep saying this, but the fakers don't ever change, they still do all of the things mentioned above. So don't worry about it!  | |||

"totally beautiful couples or singles who have been on here for over a year and no veri's. To be honest you can be veried within a few days by cam or a social Also people who on the first mention of a fem to fem phone call they stop messaging back. I wish the site would let you name and shame " We don't do fem to fem phone calls or cam but that doesn't make us fake. Luckily we have plenty of verifications that prove we are real. Dave | |||

I wish the site would let you name and shame " Vickyandlou are fake!! That's why you can't name and shame - people will lie. Usually people who have been knocked back. Fem to fem phone call. Nope wouldn't do that to prove who I am. If people can't spot a genuine fem then more fool them. | |||
"no but why hide everything... I am a very private person. if and when a potential meet would like to see my verification i am more than happy to show them. " ...................... This completely applies to me too...same goes for pics. What is interesting is that a thread like this talks [fairly enough to a point] about how many fakes there are, but doesn't always recognise that is why some people prefer to keep things private...It is sometimes about common sense. I think it takes guts to show open face pics and all, but everyone here should be supported for any decisions they take...as gets said in so many forums - we are all different! | |||
"Pictures that look too good! Reverse image search is your friend! " I'm sorry! I am real I promise | |||
| |||
"Think that after been on here a while gut instinct is usually right. It gets pretty easy to spot the fakes after a while. " It does although sometimes I think I'm getting too suspicious in my old age ha | |||
| |||
" 3) Not willing to prove who they are in a call, cam or even a pic. " "asking for a face pic and fone nos scares most of them of Well under half of that reasoning I am fake then - I very rarely give out my number until after a social meet. If people want to think I am fake because I value my privacy, then good for them. I have been told I am fake tho... not sure why." Ditto! It's those couples (!!!) who spend so much time online they become completely paranoid and a bit lost online! 
But it happened gradually, they don't realise what they've turned into; fake-profile hunters who are sadly stuck indoors, by the monitors and keyboards, telling themselves how very superior they are to us and that they can see right throug us.

"have noticed fakes, have no pics. they have hidden friends and verifications so nothing shows...so many on here I have hidden friends and verifications does that make me fake? "And me | |||
| |||
"have noticed fakes, have no pics. they have hidden friends and verifications so nothing shows...so many on here" That doesn't prove they are fake, some people prefer to hide friends list and verifications as some members stalk them by going through the list to see who they have met in case they have met someone who met someone who they don't want to meet! And of course counting those who spread rumours with their friends and those who have verified them | |||
"I've been called a fat sad lonely bold bloke now calling me bold is so un true bwhahahahaha, even thou I'm verified you fucking loonies "I don't mind being called bold. As in a bold brave person. The word for lack of hair on the head is bald. Sorry to be picky | |||

"small pics - an instant tell they are website downloads" ahhhhhh never realised this - im sure some of ours did that though when we took them off the pooter - now we just take them on phone and whizz them over here | |||
| |||
"small pics - an instant tell they are website downloads ahhhhhh never realised this - im sure some of ours did that though when we took them off the pooter - now we just take them on phone and whizz them over here" Yeah a lot of older pics were small, now we have ultra HD high res screenshots that show off every last imperfection and hair you missed haha! But with pics we ALWAYS tineye anybody we are thinking of meeting. Even small pics can be picked up. C x | |||
| |||
"Dont agree with the lack of veri's though as some meets will not give veri's as point of principal. Its a double edged sword that one as I have met many socially who don't want veri's. "No veri's is totally fine! But being sit ever irked at the least is a must, and don't be surprised if people ask for proof. You're point is a solid one, absolutely, but you can still be site verified very very easily without anybody else seeing anything at all. C x | |||
"asking for a face pic and fone nos scares most of them of Well under half of that reasoning I am fake then - I very rarely give out my number until after a social meet. If people want to think I am fake because I value my privacy, then good for them. I have been told I am fake tho... not sure why." I never understand why people go to the bother of telling me I'm fake just because I won't make phone calls with them or get verified. *Shrugs* Doesn't matter to me. | |||
"have noticed fakes, have no pics. they have hidden friends and verifications so nothing shows...so many on here" Disagree with this quote but totally agree with the thread | |||
| |||
| |||
| |||
"have noticed fakes, have no pics. they have hidden friends and verifications so nothing shows...so many on here" Hidden friends and verifications are no signs of being fake as people on here hide them for all sorts of valid reasons. The suggestion of a phone call is the most reliable way of flushing out fakes, particularly men posing as single women, of which there are many on here. Why do they do it??? | |||
| |||

"we have had loads that have actually verified themselves via another profile they have set up! We now ignore the green ticks - we want profiles we can read - and then check out the people who have verified them - it's becoming a nightmare - men pretending to be couples and girls" But to verify a profile you have to be verified yourself! So how did these 'loads of profiles' get one of their fake profiles verified in order to verify another?

"Theres one couple I see pop up local that we have serious doubts on... They post about 5 messages a day looking for meets, always the same sort of message. Then it gets to about 1am and they throw a wobble message out there, like "guess its too late for hassle free safe sex then" sort of thing... Every single day, for months now... The pics on the profile are... Awful. I mean, really dirty, really manky looking... The sort you wouldn't WANT to meet. Their profile pic looks like a still from Jeremy Kyle... I won't say who it is, of course... But man... Its just wrong... Even asking for period sex which the kids are sleeping... *barf* If its not a fake profile... I honestly don't have hope for them!

"have noticed fakes, have no pics. they have hidden friends and verifications so nothing shows...so many on here I have hidden friends and verifications does that make me fake? "Why should people be expected to show verifications? half of the ones who do show them are veried by cam or picture. I choose not to show mine by choice. who knows perhaps you want to hit on others veries???? | |||
"i get a lot of the time is that there cam as broke and one as been saying that for nearly 12 months now ha " I'd never cam. Don't have one so I must be fake | |||
| |||
" That doesn't prove they are fake, some people prefer to hide friends list and verifications as some members stalk them by going through the list to see who they have met in case they have met someone who met someone who they don't want to meet!" This is spot on. | |||
| |||
"Seeing continental or us plugs in the background" We have them plugs at is, but all our photo's are in a private folder. best thing is if you spot a fake press the report button add a few words to say why you think its fake.. if we find photos taken from the web add the link to make admins job a little easier..Connie xx | |||

What are some of yours? C x" Not dis-similar to yours but also couples profiles with no pics of her or just focusing on him. Couples profiles telling how good he is or saying that she want's him fucking now-do people really fall for these? Profiles that have only been on a very short space of time yet have managed to be verified by meeting-one the other day had two veris by meeting and only been on three hours. 'Hot' profiles that have been on ages with no veris by meeting. We have to say that we do not worry if people are not photo verified or about phone chat because we've never been photo verified and my wife will not speak with strangers on the phone beforehand. Nor will we ever cam | |||
" Profiles that have only been on a very short space of time yet have managed to be verified by meeting-one the other day had two veris by meeting and only been on three hours. " That kind of doesn't make them fake. Maybe past meets re-verified them. That could be an explanation for that. | |||

There's plenty of smokers listed as not meeting smokers, plenty of straight guys looking to meet men etc - and plenty of apparently tattoo-less people listed as having tats! (Like us - good editing with pics! )
At the end of the day there's no sure fire way of telling. Common sense and gut instinct are better tools than any other.

"If we can spot them so easy why does admin struggle so much ! Some of the pics are just too obvious " Remember, at the end of the day, Fab is a business. They don't care that the site is now as bad as AFF for fakes. All they care about is volume and ultimately subscriber numbers. Interestingly, if you Google news stories regarding vanilla dating site firm Cupid, they got done for employing their own staff to act as 'hot young things' and message males on the site as a way of getting them to subscribe longer. | |||
As to the site admin , just think on all the photos and new members submitted each day.
When you take in the cost of this site it is good value, and you can meet people, as we do.
And please if you see something // just report it only take a few minutes. Connie x | |||

"pics with black-borders around it shows that it has clearly been screenshot on an Iphone. photos with granining on them that are often multicolored, shows that someone has taken a picture of the screen. " Photos of photos always a give away. | |||

I think you just know the fakes, they usually are too good to be true or with couples the female is always "out" but she's perfectly ok with it....hmmmm | |||

We have noticed also that if the fakes have paid to be a site supported that the admin are even less inclined to delete them !!!

I can only assume the suspect behind the profile must think other people are as daft as they are. | |||
We very very rarely talk on the phone before a meet, we never cam, we don't always meet in a social setting like a pub, we dont get verified on every meet, just to name a few.

"Threads like this just help the fakes create a more believable profile I reckon." Perhaps so, but a determined fake is already pretty adept at creating a believable profile, and tips given in this thread to flush them out could prove useful to potential targets. It still doesn't explain why they do it though. | |||
