Caught a good few out using reverse image search, can usually spot them a mile off anyway, but some of them do manage to get verified and have profiles that seem legit.

Seem to be the same folk who do this over and over. I blocked a lassie a while ago who had a pic on her profile that you could actually purchase as a canvas on Amazon! If you're going to use someone else's pics, st least try a bit harder than that!

No idea, I'm lost. Damn Sat nav!

"Sick of people playing silly adolescent games on here. Have others found them ?"
Yes many times over they are so easy to spot.

You gotta love the ones who hate you so much that when you block them they gotta set up a 2nd profile just so they can keep checking you out lol

They think you won't notice if they are female & set up couples or male profiles but they are like glass so see through!

I block instantly but sometimes I won't its fun knowing they are watching your every move & you know exactly who they are

Should have bought it then sent a casual pic of yourself to her with it hanging up somewhere in the background

You are seeing a lot of them now, some easy to spot and some not so easy. What I want to know is how females in particular are being photo verified by a moderator when it's clearly a guy?

There is no requirement to be be photo verified. We're not.

We meet at the clubs and that works well for us.

There are simple methods of validating if a profile is who they say they are.

If you have a Samsung, press and hold on the image. A menu will appear, choose "search with Google lens".

There's reverse image search apps you can download, some better than others as some will only search images that can be found on Google which a lot of the time won't give any results even if the pic can be found elsewhere online. Best one I've found is an app called "Reverse Image" I use an android phone though, don't know if it's available if you're using an iPhone, if so I'm sure there will be an alternative.

Thanks ladies and gentlemen. Nice to know that we can block and do all that. But just wish we did not have to. Just a waste of time and unnecessary games. Don't know what they get out of it. Am not as tolerant now. Don't know if its age or covid but I am really getting pissed off. Happy fabin all.

It used to be mostly fake profiles of guys trying to be girls and couples,and women using stolen pics but I'm seeing more and more guys using stolen pics of obscenely huge cocks and rock hard abs.

Reverse image searching is a godsend in catching them out!

I don't agree with it but I get why some make fake profiles to try and get attention, guys pretending to be women to speak to genuine women etc. But it's the ones trying to get meets using fake pictures I don't understand, do they think people won't notice they're 30 years older, 6 inches shorter and 10st heavier than the pictures they've used

This wasn't what I was meaning regarding the verification process. I know photo verification isn't a requirement. What I meant was how is it possible for a single guy to be photo verified as a female if you need to show a clear face picture holding your username? There's countless of them.

There's lots of female verification pics online, would be easy to find one and photoshop your username over the top convincingly enough to fool a moderator. I'm assuming that's how they do it.

The couples that have a status that goes something like (Mrs isnt playing today - feeling unwell. Mr is given permission to play though).

Or the Women who dont have any picture displayed. I send my face pic and ask for a pic in return and I get blocked. No response at all.

Lifes departure lounge NN9 Northamptonshire East not West MidlandsMidlands

Northamptonshire Police today revealed that they are getting around 4 calls a week from females being subjected to Sextortion, usually as a result of responding to fake profiles on various dating and sex sites.

If these figures are typical across the Country then we are looking at somewhere in the region of 200 to 250 calls a week.

Just one of the many reasons that fake profiles should be reported to admin as soon as they are spotted.

The most common one to pop up near me always has the same text. “Can you handle me?” Or “hot cougar looking for meat” easy to spot and block

It really puts me off. I’ve had people talk to me with dozens of pics, photo verified, 30 or more verifications etc. Found their pics on reverse image search. How do they get away with it? It’s “couples” a lot of the time too. Obviously they’re really single men trying to lure women. Not cool at all.

Some of these are funny.

Sadly though people accuse you of being fake when you reject them too.

I've had that a lot!

If I was, I'd have used far better photos!
