Does it seem too good to be true?

Do things seem off, explanations, pictures, or even language used?

Do they want to move immediately into dirty pictures or chat (not always fake, but can be a sign of someone with no intention of meeting)

Do their comments add up with each other and with other evidence?

Oh yes, reverse search any picture that seems too good to be true. Porn stars. Porn stars everywhere.

No Veris after over a year. Nothing in the profile text. Full face and body photos. If it looks too good to be true, then it usually is.

Starting out with dirty talk straight away. We can spot them a mile off x

Another one for fake couples is pictures of the “couple” as individuals but not together

How do you reverse search a picture?

"Another one for fake couples is pictures of the “couple” as individuals but not together "

Yeah, for couples you want evidence that they both exist, know each other, know about/ consent to what's going on. It's true for everyone but obviously when there's two people involved it's more complicated. Is the wife always ill, at the shops, or sleeping, too shy to talk?

Conversely, some singles will try to spring a partner on you at the last minute.

"How do you reverse search a picture?"

On Chrome for Android, hold down on the picture and one of the options will be "search Google for this image". That's what I do. I don't think it's foolproof, but it catches a lot out.

The injury is to some degree permanent. But I'm a hell of a lot better than I was, and doing much better than predicted. Thank you. (I get why people called me fake, ha! Particularly as I messaged, sorry I can't I'm in hospital. A likely story! Those who didn't go straight to "fake" got hospital selfies if they wanted. Sexy )

Crap there is permanent damage but great to hear your doing better than originally predicted.

I've never had anyone call me fake and its certainly hadn't hindered me meeting hot guys so don't think I'll bother!

I always get suspicious of profiles that are less than a day old, with no photos or information but the verification summary saying they have met someone but they haven't published it.

I do look at verifications as one of the best ways of telling if someone is genuine.

And if the veri chain is 1 person that is only verified by 1 person that is only verified by 1 person and so on. Asking for kik after 1 message is a give away as well especially when they would love to do a live pic of them holding a household object of our choosing ie bottle of milk or remote control but they can’t Cos the camera is broke, to then be followed up by them sending explicit pics of “themselves”

Yeah, veri chain is important. Writing style, who's verified who, etc.

Overseas

We’ve been members of Fabs for around 9 years and only recently saw the thing about getting photo verified! Totally overlooked it before! However had veris from people we’ve met that prove we are both real so thankfully never had a problem

I get suspicious of the ones that are relatively new with a verification from someone equally as new, no photos or just photos of the male on a couples profile. I also get suspicious sometimes when a single female contacts us, you can tell when a message hasn’t been written by a woman I think!

I think everything is contextual. So you obviously have other signs pointing to you being real. This is about, how many things until you think something's wrong?

For us its simple.

No veries... the longer they are on without them, the more likely that they are fake.

No pics, or pics that come back as used across the t'interweb.

Friends list... long, when taken with no veries its quite suss.

Poor bio.

Messages... when they go straight from "hello" to "I want to rip your knickers off with my teeth" then you can start to suspect they aren't genuine.

Sure. But this thread has been discussing warning signs that add up.

Been on a year and no verification and no picture verification.

I do use tineye and google reverse image but there are some that will come up if those pictures are on other sites (swinging heaven etc) not always fail safe but if doesn’t come up with a million porn entries then I feel better.

Verifications do not mean a thing as many are webcam only and none guarantee that the person will turn up.

Not always foolproof though. Have reported a few fake pics to admin, with the links and they still stay on.
