Probably because they:

A) need to have it reported to them

B) need actual evidence it is fake

Many people choose not to have pictures, that doesn’t automatically mean they are fake.

It's not difficult to ask a friend to "hold this piece of paper whilst I take your picture", there are plenty of "fakes" who are photo verified... There are also plenty of real people who aren't photo verified, including us. We are verified by MANY people in person though, which is much harder to fake.

If there was a fast and hard way of getting rid of fakes then the site would undoubtedly do that, unfortunately there isn't.

The best option for avoiding fakes it to learn how to spot them and don't give them what they're after.

How long were you and Lee chatting before exchanging phone numbers?

I've never been catfished, had a no show or chatted to a fake profile in more than 6 years here so I don't need the site to do anything more for me than it's already doing.

It's an adult site not a crèche so if most of the profiles you are chatting to are fake that's not a problem with the site.

That's a problem with your own vetting skills.

Why are you engaging with these fake profiles that you’re describing then?

No method of vetting profiles will get all fakes unless it becomes too onerous for most of us (you want to provide photo ID for Fab? I don't. And even then... that could be faked too)

Some people enjoy the wind up, and you need to work out how to find out who those people are. It's like everything in life - you need to protect yourself.

I must have a repellant to fake profiles, I’ve never yet been contacted by one, or have got in touch with someone who’s fake.

It depends on what you call a fake profile. I've been called it because I've said no to someone.

Actual fake profiles are easy to spot and easy to avoid I have found on here. People tend to ignore red flags when they are contacted by fake profiles and then moan and blame the site for it when they don't get a meet in the end.Maybe if they took a step back and took some responsibility themselves there would not be so many on here.

Now I have to admit it, I'm fake.

In reality I am Slgpfft from Andromeda and I have been sent here to collect DNA for a database we are compiling so that we might repopulate your planet when your done fucking it up!

As we make love not war, this seemed like the best way to collect the data we need from enthusiastic volunteers. I selected this profile as it is clearly the perfectly placed to attract the highest quality DNA specimens. Ladies and gentlemen, please form an orderly queue and you will get your chance to meet a genuine extra terrestrial.

All it will take is a little probing before depositing your sample with me. You will be doing your bit to prevent the extinction of your species as well as recieving a genuinely out of this world experience.

Love long and prosper.

I dont for long easy to call them out. Even easier for fab to ban them completely. Read a report and act on it…see some fake profiles that have been here for years. misselvie cornwall for one"

Do you think a genuine couples profile will give you a phone number after 20 minutes?

They don't have to if they don't want to. This doesn't mean they are fake

If they are looking for a meet they might.

Here is an explanation from Admin from another thread on how they deal with reports.

******Just a quick note. If people report others and we can verify that they have broken site rules, we always take action (either a first and final warning, partially suspended account, fully suspended, mixture of the above).

Every single report sent via the REPORT link is reviewed. Clearly it's not in our interests to have people on here who are bad for the site. Equally we need to verify what has been reported and be fair to those who have been reported.

Admin

PS. we never provide feedback on what has happened. It's just not practical given that we get 100s of reports a day.

Here is what the page says after a report has been submitted:

Your feedback has been saved.

A website admin will shortly review your feedback and take the necessary action. After reviewing the evidence available to us, we may disable an account, remove a user, disable certain aspects of that user's account or issue a warning.

By leaving feedback you help improve the site for everyone who uses it. Thank you.******
