"The warning signs for me are a combination of these things:
No photos
No avatar
No site verification
Virtually no profile text
If I see those things on a couple or single female profile then I won't go near them.
This
Profile that hasn’t had a verification in years
Photos last taken 10 years ago
A couples profile who don’t meet men with a single verification in the last 12 months from a single male.
We don’t use the message system on here (Kik, WhatsApp or alternative messenger only)
“Will fill in later“ as the only words on profile (profile is 6 months old)
Couples profiles with persistent statuses that the male is free to meet tonight - no verifications
There really are loads and loads of giveaways.
Best thing is just go with your gut instinct - generally you’ll be right, and if your wrong you haven’t really lost anything anyway

There is a fool proof way to stop all the fake profiles on here all the admin of the site have to do is ask new users to upload a copy of their phot ID and proof of residence of the account, unfortunately I think the site doesn’t promote this because it looks like they have more users than they actually have which makes it hard for genuine profiles like myself. The reason I have answered your post on this thread is because I have been on and of this site for over 6 years, my last verified meet was over four years ago, this is not because I haven’t met anyone during this time or that Im married, it’s mainly due to the fact, I have a very respectful job & I try to keep as low a profile on here as I can and I ask anyone that I meet either individually or as a couple not to respectful not to put on any verification about myself. Unfortunately being a single guy, I have to keep my profile open on her otherwise I would never meet anyone on here unlike some of the women who have no profile or description scrolling the site for men all they have to do is send a message to one of them desperate men they fall over themselves that they got a message. Then you also now have photo recognition which employers or companies use to search for information about people & anyone can take a screen shot of your pictures and post it on the net & that’s their career ruined. So many of these young kids don’t realise when they post pictures of them selves it stays on the net for ever and it’s extremely difficult to remove it. So speaking from experience myself you carnt use the verification or old photos as a guide for spotting the fakes. Intact in my experience as a single guy on here, the more explicit the photo and profiles are the more likely they are to either be fake, escorts using the site to promote other services or just people wanting attention using other people’s pictures to get it, and I have come across hundreds of them over the years, how I do it is just ask to cam verify them 1st & if they refuse I block them. They just make it’s all to easy for them to even verify themselves it’s untrue !! All they have to do is use another email, set up a profile as a couple then verify yourself as having met yourself.
All this site needs to do is have an email verification and IP checker so that you can't verify yourself or anyone in the same house hold that uses the same internet provider, just like the large review company’s use and then insist on photo ID and utility bill. They will just say they carnt as it would take to long to set up accounts, but they have to approve your photos so it would take the same time. But they never will as they would probably loose three quarters of their subscribers. They even have supposed subscribers active and online although they left this site years ago. People forget this site is also is a business and they want as much money as possible and because there are some many new desperate users out there out sending message after message never connecting with anyone let alone meeting them if 1/2 of the profiles are fake they believe they need to subscribe to get laid. It’s a Viscous cycle for them. I’m not saying everyone on here Is like this as I have made loads of friend and had great sex I love the site, but it’s the same for all networking sites. You sign up at first get loads of messages from people’s wanting to meet you as she loves your profile, which you haven’t even put up a photo or discription about yourself yet, but unfortunately, you carnt see their profile or even message them back until you subscribe then guess what no more messages. So that’s how I get round the fake profiles. Sorry for the rant but in my opinion these fakes are ruining the site for us all and the admin team need to jump on this ASAP. Take care D |
