Hi guys,honest question for veterans on the platform…We hve been here a while and only managed only one meet…We seem to come actoss alot of fake profiles but the issue here is they are meet verified…Two instances we have supposedly gone to meet a female profile and another a couples profile,turns out it was both single guys posing and they are both meet verified.It really frustrating.other times they just talk and when it comes to arranging a meet even when we are ready to travel,they go silent.I think fake profiles and time wasters are an epidemic on here

I would say not to be too keen and always have a social first.

Check out the profile of those who have verified them and their photos.

I also reccomend avoiding getting into dirty chat, they might just want a wank.

If I'd had this, I'd request a phone/videocall with people, before arranging a social.

Couples do split and their profiles should cease or be converted to single person's, if it doesn't have verifications related to meeting both

Report any inappropriate profile use or behaviour to Admin, who always investigate and take action, if necessary.

"How do we report accounts that are giving out “verifications” falsely?"

Report from their page, clicking the report button, giving the details you know.

Did you name the account? If so admin will have deleted it. Report the profile as has been advised and admin will take a look

they probably have a real verified account somewhere and are sending the verifications to the other account

There are definitely lots of very dubious couples profiles around. Asking for a quick video call is good practice. That tends to flummox the fakes

Several (3 or 4) verifications

At least one recent

Not just from webcams

Different verifiers

Verifiers not connected (e.g. not all from the same date/event)

Verifications clearly mentioning a couple or lady

How some slip through?

We have met so many couples that are not real couples, just fuck buddies, and they split. Since usually the guy does the admin, he keeps the account open with the verifications.

Lol yes the good old days have gone. Most of our chats lead nowhere now, pic collectors, fakes and fantasists galore. Many with photos pinched from other sites. Yes verifications from folk they've never met too. Just had a friend's invite from a couple out of the blue, no message, no public pics and only one friends . Pathetic. We're on the verge of leaving fab (both accounts), now preferring to visit a club when we're in the mood. Liars and timewasters are there too but at least you can see what you're getting in the flesh so to speak...

Second to last social we arranged, drove for over an hour to meet them. No show.

There are loads of profiles with fake verifications. Some will ask for verifications in their status and receive some. Some will send a fake verification to get one back because they think it looks good on their profile. Our advice is to go to some clubs, there are real swingers there already.

to avoid a massive waste of time - ask questions, don't cave in to their requests to chat to wife early on - if they arr answering questions remaining polite and their profile is matching what they are and and especially as well if they have veificitation/s from others where you can see their profile - have a phone chat etc and meet in a neutral place or at their place is better imo - most fakes will become rude etc and the 3/5 questions

Unfortunately, the site has become plagued by fake profiles,pic collectors & timewasters & the site admin are very quick to remove any profile updates that you may put on if you've been messed about by them- so it's really down to self policing,

Relying on the veri system where they have more than 1 from a single guy is always a good way to start, also it's not too difficult to recognise the way in which a female will compose a message to that of a single guy, sketchy one liners or immediate friend requests are normally a warning sign for us & tbh we have more fun within the club & private party scene,where you know everyone attending are genuine potential playmates,

It's too easy for people to get an account verified.

One genuine veri to a single male account and they can then verify an unlimited number of fake accounts. Those accounts can then verity unlimited more fake accounts.

Was speaking to a photo verified "couple" this week who were interested in some of our experiences and then questions started getting more personal around where we worked,family . Said wouldn't answer those so "they" blocked us as time wasters

It's a free site and they do what they can but seems plenty can bypass the checks

questions need to be asked and genuine memebers will remain polite and have the ability to note and identifying when irrelevant questions are being asked,

eg, where exactly do you live, what is your surname, send me pictures of your face - and or the other person will send a pic of their mush that was never requested and then demand your's. the others are so-called couples where only the man is offering and or no pictures whatsoever of their wife etc

Most people have more than one brain cell (i hope) and will know how to recognise relatively early on what is a fake verification etc. When i see realtively new members and their one or more prifles are from people who have hidden their profile, they may be genuine but not for me.

Another warning sign is they claim ontheir profile they can accomodate but come to the meet they make up bs excuses and offer to come around or hotel or meet outside, not for us

the bottoms line - if you feel something is not right, to your liking, BLOCK and move on as plenty of genuine couple and men around

Agree some go too far with the demands and questions. I had someone block me the other day. A couple had contacted me and seemed very keen. I sent them a pleasant reply thanking them and that was my block. I thought odd but their choice so I don’t mind. I moved on

Sounds like you escaped that one luckily !, very dodgy questions we'd never answer.

We've got a few red flags that we look out for, when they initially start writing they will start as "we", it being a couples profile, but after a few messages it strays into the "I" messages. Also we've noticed that some couples profiles that have pics over 4 years old can't explain or offer up a recent couples pic of themselves. This normally puts and end to the conversation.

There are apps where you don't have to give your number to phone or video call, I would never ever meet somebody without speaking to them on the phone or video call, Never.

But even when I did talk to someone on the phone before meeting they still turned out to be a Cat-Fish, way older & a totally different persona in real life

I strongly recommend to all - as soon as you identity any lie, even a small one, just block them.

The lies i find (i use FS not mrs as she only consents) - people saying they can accommodate but can't - instant block or those sending you friends request when you have not asked for one or those saying they've read your profile and clerly they have not etc etc

Agree but it can be very difficult to know for sure. I met someone from here and was 99% convinced was a fake profile. Pictures were amazing and our chat sounded too good to be true and just fantasy. Usually would have left it like that but had a bit of spare time from work and she said free. Took the risk and went to meet her. I was not expecting anything but so glad I did as turned out she was that dream lady. It made we wonder if I have missed out before or since.
