Is it just us or is there an increase in the amount of fake couples profiles?
I have lost count of the number of times (these usually unverified people) message us trying to start conversations but the lady is always busy? Strangely though the male half is always free to chat and meet! Wierd that
Had another today, delete. Block.
Very frustrating waste of time. Who do they think they are trying to kid!!
Why can’t folk just be honest?

I'm no expert as I've only been on a few months but I've had several recently waste my time. I usually screen shot a face photo and do a reverse image search...99% accurate!!  |

Surely they would stand more chance of getting a meet if they were honest though rather than pretending to be one half of a couple?
The first thing we do is ask for a FF chat - it’s never been an issue for the genuine people out there!
Do these fakers really think we believe the tales of the permanently busy other half who is always unavailable, who is always unable to meet for whatever reason stories we have heard a thousand times before!!! |

The one we had today was most interesting....
Apparently the lady was unavailable to chat due to usual excuses and that he sorts all the meets out for them (unverified of course) ....
but then she updated the profile to say she’s looking for a couple for her ‘man’ to join etc... signed love ‘S’ xx
Strange considering 2 minutes earlier she was busy and doesn’t use fab |

I am sure plenty arent fake though. People have to start somewhere and the man is 50% of the couple so is fully entitled to be online while partner is not at home.
I speak to these people but make no promises until I get proof and a lot of the time even if I dont meet them they turn out to be genuine. |

Oh no, of course not - we have met plenty of great couples through this site - and long may that continue!
Yes - proof of life, provide or you will be terminated! Haha |

"There are plenty of porn and picture places about, why waste peoples time on here if that’s all they want! "
their game is to see how far they can get with you with the dirty talk & maybe they can con some personal pics out of you....its all for their wank bank....i genuinely think they aint wired up right.....

We've found quite an increase of views by very empty profiles ie: no pics or just 1, no veri's, very little if anything in their description but looking for everyone & into everything! Annoying but could be genuine. We suggest to them they get photo verified & that usually ends with them vanishing & we don't hear from them again x |

Then again, just thought... we aren’t photo verified  |

We think you should have to get re verified every 6 months personally , there are loads of so called couples on here that are no longer together but because they got verified when they were it carries over |

"One possible solution is to stop free membership, if we all pay it cuts the odds of chancers ."
I don’t think it’s paying will cut it out
People need to know who there talking to - come on how long would it take for a man to open up an acc on fab pretending to be a female or cpl ——-NOT LONG
I am not saying not letting them join and even if there not photo verified respect them to just looking but restrict mailing / winking / fabbing g etc.
I think if people are genuine let them take the time to get photo verified |

Search engine- look for reverse image search sites, there are free ones, upload your screen shot and Bob's your uncle (or not!! Hehehe) |

I have a theory which does fit, when Craigslist closed personal section KIK was overrun with fakes of both genders, now KIK is closing I suspect a lot are finding a way into fab, ergo I guess we need to be vigilant. |

Yup unfortunately the site is becoming far too well known due to articles in national papers etc . Site is going down the route of another sex site ( one of the first hook up sites )
The site was better 6 years ago when peak membership was 5000 |

It's not just couple profiles that are fakes or time wasters, and there is definitely a lot more of it now.
I agree with what was said higher up, craigslist and kik closing meant people gravitated towards here.
Lots of couples profiles that have X-no longer playing, only M.
Maybe a function that allows couples profiles to be downgraded from couple to single without losing verifications and length of service could be the answer ? |

There is. The owner of the profile should contact Admin who will do it for them. |

They can report themselves to admin, and get a singles profile, but then which one gets the verifications if they are both still on ?
Do the verifications go, and does the length of service ? |

Lot of guys set up profiles couple profiles so they can message and send FR to bypass filters. Others drag their partners into it only to find they don't like it and decide it's not for them but the guys hold on to the couples profiles cos they think use it to get to see private pics and meets.
Most couple profiles are written by guys.
This is nothing new people will try and say anything if they think it will get them through the door
Fake profiles have been going on even before in contact mags. Goes with the territory nothing new about it |

Very true they've allways been around guess in today's age of modern tech one can set one up in mins easy
But I struggle to see the point surely anyone who's genuinely here to meet as a swinger must realise that soon as truth comes out ur done for and a meet isn't Gona happern but I guess maybe they just pic collectors I don't know takes all sorts I guess
I prefer to meet genuine nice likeminded people meself lol x |

We been chatting to one Asian cpl from Manchester for two months now. Sent me face pics of two diff cpls so far. So frustrating . We just made all our pics private since then.
Hate fakers . |

It's a masive epidemic on this site now and it's really ruining things. I'd say 99% of the profiles on this site must be fake in my experience. I'll message them to ask how big their tits are and if they fancy a fuck right now and nearly never a reply back. Thank goodness for the 1% of genuine profiles on FAB (thank you Steve the trucker from Lowestoft). |

We probably will not renew our membership, this site is rife with fakes and timewasters. It's about time new members have to produce passport or driving licence details, it's becoming unmanageable even with filter settings up at max. |

The true hero's of FAB. However she was a bit of and anti climax in reality. Far more facial hair than the profile photo and somehow a far deeper voice than I'd sort of imagined. |

"We’ve also noticed a significant increase in profiles with no photos, not even a profile photo, or verifications. There’s something in the air. No verifications and no photos equals no meet. "
While there's undoubtedly a shed load of fakes, I deleted my male profile because, although I had pics, it was still, while not impossible, extremely difficult to get verified. No pics attached, especially in a pvt message, is a give away but I don't think lack of veris is. In my case it was not from the lack of trying. |

Yes, apparently it's really good for greasing vehicle axles, or so she said but what do women know? |

We’re finding it has gradually gone downhill on many fronts unfortunately but definitely with regards to fake profiles. Also seeing a big increase in drugs being offered and Chen party invites (had to google this). Not our scene and each to their own but it is turning into the Jeremy Kyle show lately. We keep in touch with a select few diamonds here and will make cameos at parties and are open to invites but the novelty of fab is wearing off unfortunately x L&C |

Lots of fakes on here if joined over a year back and no veris then be alert,also drugs are allover,we was sat next to a single guy at quest Friday who clearly knew owners but trying to force on us but threatened male who rejected his offers as female was being polite chatting back.awkward situation for us to be in and left early |

As someone who's subscription ends tomorrow and has no intention of renewing I don't agree. I paid for the extras you get with a subscription, not to be taken more seriously, but after 6 months don't think it's worth it.
I have a thing about paying for something I don't use or need (like TV licence) and thought long and hard about paying for subscription here. To be honest if I'm going to pay for sex I'll use an escort. |

We've had a message this morning, from the other side of the country. Couples account, 1 veri, over 2 years ago. Saying only male half meet as Fem busy. They wanted chat & cam exchange with us and kik.
Clearly read our profile! 
We don't do any of that. Not even bothering to reply to that one.
We out meets up reg, makes us look like we're always at it. Although die to time wasters, and fakes we get little to no play. So frustrating when we're real swingers who do meet and do swap. |

Might even stop the keyboard warrior s that prey on vulnerable people on here if they have to submit official papers. |

Peculiar things occurring... I’m seen a number of new single women profiles pop up all in the same area within an hour or so... none with profile pics and only have a brief profile. Clearly fake.
Fab clearly not making efforts to out the fakes. |

There was a new couple profile in my local area the other day promising anyone who sends them a photo of their wife or girlfriends pussy will be guaranteed a BJ from the female half of the couple.
Can't help wonder if anyone was desperate and stupid enough to fall for that crap. |
