Fake profiles

Just wondering if there is a common set up for fake profiles? The most common would be no pictures and then " I'm a xxx year old Man/Female looking for male/female to have fun with.I

Kind of spoils the site with lots of time wasters.

I don't think there's likely to be many fake male accounts

Most fake profiles are couples profiles, single guy pretending to be part of a couple.... Next i guess would be guys faking a female profile.... Usually pretty easy to spot.

As for timewasters, fantasists and general rudeness.. Thats usually guys.

For us, it's males/couples who are willing to meet anyone, claiming they are straight, but will meet TV/TS, age range 18-99, not photo verified, and bio saying they have been here before. Or a combination of the above

It's getting worse on here I'm sure, any 'females' or 'couples' who are keen to meet an older single man immediately arouses my suspicion, my samsung phone is brilliant for scanning pics though, loads on here from porn sites

Reverse image search is every Fabbers best friend

I'm getting a lot of single male profile suddenly remember they have a partner/fwb/friend who wants a threesome when I say I'm here to meet women and couples.

Conveniently they don't use Fab

We find theres loads of fake profiles, usually easy to spot.

verified by someone within hours of joining by someone miles away lol

The location from where they are signed in from is normally an indicator, advertised as local but 130miles away

I’ve managed to spot all my exes so far lol previously folk thought I was paranoid till he got d*unk and sent pics and apologies, I don’t know if it’s true women have a stronger sixth sense or not but I can honestly say I can spot a fake/dishonest profile a mile away, lots of fake profiles on here as well that are used to spy on folk so they’ve been verified years old etc because people have blocked them on their main accounts yet fab let it happen, I can barely cope with one profile never mind having half a dozen that’s just way too much time on your hands and way too much psycho for me

Very frustrating but fairly easy to spot. There one profile of a single female that keeps appearing lasts a few days and then disappears, if you’re in the Glasgow area you’ll see she’s appeared today the cr@p photoshopped pictures are a give away.

Loads of fakers these people ruin the site for genuine people. Why can't people put a pic up and why say there in a relationship and not meeting anyone defeats the purpose of the site

"For us… claiming they are straight, but will meet TV/TS "

Fake profiles are the pits here.

So is the transphobia.

Leaving for now the really shoddy, out-dated and un-nuanced “TV/TS” categorisation, I’m just here to say that trans men are men and trans women are women. Non-binary people are valid. Being attracted to a trans woman does not make a guy gay or bi. Being attracted to a trans guy does not make a woman gay or bi.

Because people are allowed to take a break from playing now and again plus it makes way for chatting to potential fun people that is why.

There’s some herd rumblings that there’s woman out there that pretend to be guys to “ scope” out they “Compton”and tie up they comptons but I have never came across it

Maybe it’s just a forum urban legend

Location distance does not prove a profile is fake, hub works offshore and his location comes up 100s of miles away sometimes and I travel with work too but we certainly aren't fake but if you based it on our location you would disagree.

I also change my postcode if I am thinking of travelling to an area so I can check out the locals
