There are no verification methods, to verify that you’ve seen/met the individual that you verify.

I can, for instance verify that I met you, although I had not. It’s as simple as creating a post on here.

Stay safe

All verification types can be faked.

The more someone is verified, and by more people (who are also well verified themselves), the less likely it is that they're fake veris, though.

Is it really that easy?

So somebody can even make up fake profiles to verify themselves on their "main" account?

Ridiculous if so, but not much the site can do to stop that sort of thing

Yes. The site stops verifications from the same web connection, though.

But that's one, non gossip, reason to look at who's verified who. My first verification was from a guy with over 100 meet verifications. If he was fake, all those people would be risking being reported and having their accounts suspended. So he's probably not fake. And as he does well on the site, he's not likely to risk his account, either. Therefore, I'm probably not fake.

If you see a profile verified very quickly by a newish profile with only one other verification, the verification uses similar language, etc... You might want to be more cautious than with an example like mine.

Some people offer fake verifications, unfortunately. Or ask for them.

All verifications can be faked in some way or other it is no 100% guarantee that the person is real but it is more likely that they are..

Could someone play a pre recorded video to someone and make it seem as if they're watching them live on cam?

Yes. But it's up to you to check for that, have a conversation with someone.

I've only cam verified one person, and I talked long enough to satisfy myself that he was who he claimed to be.

So do your homework and figure it out for yourself, I'm afraid is the answer.

There and to the left a bit

As others have said any kind of veri can be faked and it's actually quite easily done - they can usually be quite easily spotted though if you follow the veri trail, and even if there isn't one there is plenty of other due diligence you can do to confirm if someone is genuine or not.

I know of one with atleast 30 cam veris and when a guy reported that it wasn't her, fab didn't do anything about it.. Because she had so many verifications.

The problem is proof - just because someone says a profile is fake doesn't mean automatically it is. And people do maliciously report others at times.

How do you know it was fake? And all the veris were fake?

Yeah, I think I was reported as fake when my profile was new.

It's difficult to prove. I report when I suspect it, but it's all I can do.

I just have a conversation. You can tell if it's fake if the conversation doesn't flow.

I saw one like that recently. All the veris described the exact same 'web cam' experience. Sounded like 'she' just played the same video back to them all.

But also that 'she' was asking them to do things on cam. No way of proving it but looked a lot like the kind of scenario where 'she' may use their videos to get things from the men.

The same video was seen over and over again on cam.

So I guess the guys who verified her saw a video clip.

As people have said it's really not hard to see if someone's veris are genuine.

Look at ours they are from a range of users who each have multiple veris themselves, some are newish others have been on fab for a while. It's clear each verification has been written by different people as we all have different styles of writing.

Example 1 Mr A is still newish 3 months on fab they have been verified by Mrs B who has 18 veris, by Mrs C with 6 veris, by Mrs D with 35 veris, by54 rMrs E with 40 veris and Mrs F with 1 Veri = Genuine.

Example 2 Mr A is verified by Mrs B who only has 1 veri from Mr A, Mrs C who has 2 veris from MrA and Mrs B, finally they are also verified by Mrs D who has 3 veris all from MrA, MrsB and MrsC. Clearly fake verus and example of someone who has set up 4 accounts to build up veris on one of the accounts. I have reported examples like this and to be fair fab admin closed the ofce ding accounts down.

Whilst there are fake veris out there they are easy to spot / work out and they amount to a really small percentage overall meaning the overwhelming majority of veris are genuine.

I been told by men that they were verified from exchanging inbox messages but the other person recorded as ‘web cam’

This is my ‘new’ profile and I’m verified by 2 men I knew through work who I only very occasionally see.

It doesn’t mean someone is fake if they don’t have many verifications or if the verifications are only for each other.

I ‘lost’ my other verifications when I deleted my last profile and won’t ask anyone I’ve met on that one to verify me as it gives the false impression that it was a recent meet.

Yes. The site stops verifications from the same web connection, though.

Lot of veris are fake and don't actually reflect the true persons. Think veris waste of time really, i don't know why people put soo much emphasis on them, but each to their own.

People try to put nice things into veris, even if there was nothing nice about the meeting, which really skews the purpose of the veris. People who have varis like score sheet or meets like frequent flyers are a big turn off.

If i read a verification and the person who gave that verification has a hidden profile then i’m always suspicious.

I still get asked now by men who think they can chat to me for a bit if i’ll verify them “as they are struggling to meet”. No cam. No meeting in person. Just because we exchanged a few messages

I don't think verification system is a waste of time. The purpose is to proof that the person is real, not a timewaster, that's all.

It can be abused yes, but having a system is better than nothing.

To me personally, it works well because I don't depends solely on the system, I counter check the verifier, reverse search the images and lastly, my senses. If I don't feel right, I won't proceed.

Please note that there is no such thing as leaving a bad verification. If something is wrong, just report - not verify.
