FabSwingers.com forum: Is anything real haha

So there I am looking through the hot pics sections. As you do.

So I search up couples and see a rather hot picture of an African lady. As I look through their pics I am thinking to myself "pretty hot" then of course it dawns on me these pictures (even tho no face is shown) don't look like the same woman in each.

So I do a Google reverse image Search on them and bobs your uncle some are lifted directly from porn websites.

Thing is this "couple" has three verifications.

Really goes make you think about the whole verification thing.

Had a brief conversation with a guy, who's profile pic, undoubtedly looked good. Now he sent a face pic, and quite simply, if you put his head on that body, he's just been to a head shrinker, couldn't stop the laughing. Conversation ended

Haha.

Had something similar happen.

Was looking in the who's local search and there was a crossdresser coming up. Didn't think much as I scroll by but the picture got my eye. It looked weird.

So I click into profile and image and they blatantly and poorly photoshopped their head on to some random woman's body.

Who are they gonna fool.

Report and move on. Yes there are a lot of real people. The only way to improve the site is through the reporting system. I know it's frustrating that reports dont always end in profiles immediate disappearance.. but multiple reports on profiles will get admins attention. If you fail to report then you lose the right to bitch about fakes

Best approach is to use your judgement at all times, and if you're really interested, arrange a social meet ASAP (when permitted by lockdown relaxation! ) so you can see what's really behind a profile. Lots of people here who can't walk the walk. Call their bluff. If you see obvious fakery, report, block, move on.

I've seen numerous profiles with matching photos. Usually one of them is unverified.

A few people reported that some people are using our photos too.

It happens a lot more often than one may think.

Some people take their "privacy" and paranoia of being recognized to a next level.

I believe if the site didn't have such seedy reputation and the shitty attitude of people joining it to treat it like a hole full of desperate whores who serve men on dial a ride basis - people wouldn't need to protect their identity so badly.

There are quite a few who are fake. Reverse image is great but doesn't always work. Even saw a few on hot pics who were fake and some who post in the forums their pics come up as taken from other sites. Basically I think you need to use common sense and realise it it looks too especially especially on brand new profiles a lot of times it is fake. Now some are people returning but a lot are just people especially now when people seem to have more time.on their hands setting up fake accounts. What they get out of it god knows but it is what it is. I use my judgement and if I get anyway suss about a profile I won't engage with them.

Why do they do this. You know they will never meet you. If their photo ain't real. Forget about them

There's plenty of dodgy profiles on Fab, reporting doesn't always get them removed. One particular couples profile had a face photo of the female half and it turns out it was some semi well known person in the US. Reported it a long time ago and the profile is still there with verifications from a number of people

Why bother? I mean putting up fake profile pictures is like describing yourself as someone you are not. From there it's all down hill. If and when you meet someone i bet there response would be wtf?

I don’t believe anything anyone says on here. Everyone’s on kik - I haven’t used that about in about 6 years but I remember it being a catfish paradise. I’d be a big fan of using Snapchat to verify, soon sorts out the bullshitters, just a pity there are so many oldies and technophobes that refuse to use it

I've reported a few yes but they don't always get removed and when I called a few out on it I just get abusive messages from them and they block me so there's no winning that's why I just ignore them now

I have two Snapchat accounts. One that I barely use but have friends and family etc on it. I have a second one for fab. A dozen or so people on it, takes two seconds to delete and block people. Each to their own though

Snapchat being one of most useless apps in my phone (disappearing conversations, childish filters and stories where nobody really cares about what other people are up to) - I couldn't possibly imagine why on earth anyone would bother having two accounts!

Only useful thing about Snapchat is that it notifies you if someone took a screenshot of your sent image. If one is THIS paranoid about someone taking any screenshots - maybe they should reconsider what they're sending to other people and who them other people are in a first place.

Who said anything about paranoia? The idea of the second account is a bit of discretion. It’s the exact same principle as using kik. Having been threatened before with bláckmail from someone on this site after them guessing my identity, I’m just trying to add a bit of extra protection for myself before getting to know someone better, I don’t exactly want to broadcast who I am by adding complete strangers from fab (many of whom lie about who they are) who will know my full name from my username.

I agree Snapchat is pretty pointless but I find it useful for this purpose over something like kik or giving out my number. It’s difficult for catfish to lie about who they are when you ask them for a selfie; and it’s easy to tell when they are trying to bullshít you.

I’m sensing you have a bee in your bonnet when it comes to Snapchat so I’ll maybe just leave it at that
