Got a message from a profile claiming to be a couple but became pretty obvious about 3 or 4 measages in it was just a guy. Called them up on it and the profiles no longer on here. Glad I didn't invest more time in it or even arrange a meetup. Have you ever had this happen?

In the sense that he was much older than he claimed to be and used really old pics.

Catfish in the purist sense no

Met someone whose pictires were clearly 15 years out of date...yes

Even worse he failed to remove his sunglasses and cap indoors as if that would hide the issue 🤣🤣

The same as the poster above.

It was only a few messages OP. Not something to worry about.

The fakes generally out themselves pretty quickly if you are thinking with the right head.

Yeh just more annoying/disheartening than anything. Thought oh a message from my profile preferences, makes a change. Oh wait nope, just another horny guy

I really can't get my head around those ones!

How exactly do they expect to meet with someone? "...oh yeh, sorry, hit a time warp on the way HONEST, but try not to let it bother you... "

Or is the whole point that they don't meet???

Baffles me!

Catfished, no.

But have had a few instances of 'fake' and/or 'time-waster' profiles that outed themselves or ghosted all of a sudden. I take it with a punch of salt each time and forget about it; haven't lost anything. I'm sure they got their kick, so good for them! 😆

Not catfished luckily but had those you really get on with, decide you want to meet up and then it just never happens and then they just disappear. That’s just so annoying and disappointing

No, never. Nor even come across a 'fake' profile or a timewaster. 'Breadcrumber', yes on rare occasions, but they are quickly sanctioned.

Yes we had a message from a guy and when we looked at his pics we were a bit suspicious. Did a reverse image search and Lo and behold he was using a gay porn star photos 🤦‍♀️🤣We played a long for a bit before calling him out and blocking and reporting

Yeah. But i didnt know it until a friend on here pointed out to me on seeing us engage in the forums that all his pics were off google 🤣 i have no idea about reverse image searching and all that carry on.

And im obviously a naive person 🤷‍♀️

Yes all the time but it is usually pretty obvious that the profile is not genuine right from the get go.

I have lots of times...couples looking for a bull experience but it often ends up being a hubby who has not told the wife. Can be frustrating but there you go.

Did also have one unpleasant experience this year. But we live and learn! 😊

It happens so much! I’m pretty sure there’s a guy who creates new fake profiles specifically for me, because I will get messages repeatedly from different profiles with really specific interests - both sexual and real world - but they are clearly fake. He must be very bored in his real life

Not been catfished, but have been approached by several "women" whose profiles used the same photos and text - the photos were of some Australian porn star 😂

Of course i have, but I'm cynical now because of it and reverse search is my best friend....

Also quietly hoping anyone I've met doesnt think it about me 😂

I've never chatted to a fake profile and everyone I've met through fab has been who they claimed to be and looked just like their pics if we had exchanged those.

I've met some without face pics but there were no issues there either.
