FabSwingers.com forum: What things on accounts make you dubious that they’re fake?

So we’ve been on here 5months now and there are certain accounts that scream fake, however we find ourselves then playing detective to see where it goes. So here are our 5 top things that have us defensive until proven otherwise.

1: No profile picture

2: No verifications

3: Verifications but they’ve all expired or accounts don’t exist

4: Couple claiming to be a a couple but clearly their partner knows nothing about the account

5: Men with only cock pictures

What’s yours?

1) couples that only have pictures of the female.

2) couples that when messaging used first person terms eg I, me

2) couples that have single accounts that have verified the joint account.

3) can't show pictures because of my work disclaimers.

1: No profile picture

Wrong , a fake have photos .

2: No verifications

Wrong a fake can have verifications .

3: Verifications but they’ve all expired or accounts don’t exist

Impossible , profile deleted or blocked verification is deleted . Stil leave mark in time records .

4: Couple claiming to be a a couple but clearly their partner knows nothing about the account

5: Men with only cock pictures

No comment

I will not reveal my red flag tracking skills.

Will save us fakers develope better skills .

To make the game more exciting

U have a genuine profile , all on the spot

But then the identity behind the profile is a fake personality

Basacly u can never judge a cake from the shop window .

As every where for long time

Not every thing that glows means is gold

Starting with the obvious which is no photos, no verifications, no write up. Then there are the ones with one verification from a man usually within a day or two of joining the site and is not shown.

After that it is gut instinct. Eg talk a good meet but can never be narrowed down to an actual date. Those that expect you to pick the date, time and place screams fake to us as the person on the other profile clearly hasn't got the imagination to suggest anywhere to meet.

Finally when asked for a face photo the response is that they can't show them for job reasons or they will upload one later and then never do. Obviously if there is any doubt about the profile being an actual couple we will ask for a phone call or video chat and that will see them either block us or never message us again.

I tell one thing a Fake will never survive

A video call . No video short messages

Cause now even I can be Madonna or Santa Clause

I can be Jesus Christ if I want too

Is all very easy to image and voice manipulate

They may even know how to live video core now mentioning it

But I doubt , requires skills n technology

So yeah . Video call is a good filter …

Can fake for a day or two . But it will not survive long

Many many fakers n scams

They Stil believe we gonna be buying Bideo game vouchers in line

Severe days of catfishing for a £20 scam

Fuck me . I’m suppose to do that in 1 hour at work

Get a job man .

Loads of scam n fakes in fabs and dating apps even more

No photos is not true

On fabs and on dating apps all best people I met never had a single photo online .

One of them Stil my friend .

Sometimes people have extreme fear and massive need of discretion even single

There are families , religions and u never know

A minimum leak could ruin someone life in her family , work , etc .

Need of discretion does not mean cheating or fake

I have living prove of that .

My ex NSA not even had a verified photo green flag . Had the green button of verified by meets or cam . ( easy to fake )

Profiles that have loads of bare boob photos definitely aren't fake.

Also those where they're rubbing cake into their genitals.

Or squatting over a mahoosive butternut squash or marrow, inserting it into their arse sans lube.

Those profiles are always 100% reql so if there's any naughty fakers out there you best get down Aldi before all the giant veg sell out.

And back to the roots .

A genuine profile doesn’t mean a genuine person .

I been charmed before . Tricked . And is very disappointing after the lust, you see the image you had from the person is not real .

It really hurts and there is no need for it .

Honesty n kindness goes very far .

Respect . Be real xx

No photos. (Or only one of their chest or cock).

No verifications (or very outdated ones.. from years ago).

When they don't bother to write anything on their profile.

Couples that only have pics of one of them on

Couples that only have pics of them separate- none together

Couples where the man predominantly is on the profile and as soon as you mention talking to the female he goes quiet.

If there's one thing I have learnt about trying to appease people's worries it is:

Some people could have you in a glass box; own the only key and still get paranoid.

Talk to me I will be honest, it's on you to believe me or not, I can't do that part for you.

Judge me on my profile if you like, your call.

I'm not sure all fakes follow these things at all.

I've seen couples profiles with only photos of a woman.

I've seen them with no verifications too...they do not always display them.

I've seen similar stuff on single profiles also.

I think that you just get a feeling from profiles and people and hopefully they are fairly close to the mark.

I try not to get too caught up in it all.

I do not take it very seriously at all

Some couples like ourselves are not looking to meet other couples and only looking for single males that only I play with ect so don’t really feel the need to put pics of my husband up, as he only plays with me.

We do have private pics of us together though for couples who like to social or just chat.

Can totally get a lot of fake profiles do that like you said but just wanted to add another perspective to it

These lists have been doing the rounds for the ten plus years we have been on Fab. We start from a position of any profile we come across is fake and then slowly see what clues there are to suggest it is real. Sometime it is easy and obvious other times it will take a while. We have recently met two brand new profiles to Fab with only photo verification but the conversation etc lead us to believe they were genuine and we are glad that it did as we had fun times. As said previously go with you gut it is always right.

GONE/TIMEOUT (No DMs please)

Usually if a couple profile is fake, the conversation just feels "off"

Women that seem to use the same few photos on a loop, delete, reupload, to get into the updates feed.

I usually make sure I can verify them outside of fab before even thinking of meeting.

Remember anyone could use a genuine persons photos etc off facebook to make a profile... And a completely different person behind it.

I had someone sending me photos all week once,, they must have been creeping someone for ages to have enough photos of them every day life to create a narrative.

Sad and creepy.

All of the above , but also old blurry photo that looks over 20 years old been cropped , seem to be overwhelming fraudulent profiles with men pretending to be females or men just posting pictures of their wives without their knowledge ... it must give them an ego boost ...

I only know one local profile that I can tell right away.

Usually one public photo and two private,

Can be a young lass or an older one but guaranteed the text every time is something along the lines of “Come get me boys” and the profile is usually gone again within two or three hours.

I think OP is misguided:

1: No profile picture doesn’t make for a fake: just means they’re lazy.

2: I have no verifications because I have met anyone, not because I’m fake.

3: can verifications expire? How can a nonexistent account leave a verification?

4: How can you tell that a partner knows nothing about the account?

5: Men with only cock pictures- typical Fab account.

Fair enough if you don’t trust profiles but you could be better informed.

I think the photo moderators should have to use Google lens app to search the images to see if they are from the Internet. Do many on a daily basis it's unreal.. I've had 3 fakes this morning already.. and you report them and they still don't get removed from the site. 1 guy wrote why would I put a pic of my real cock on here..(duh)
