What are everyone's tips on ing out the fakes as quickly as possible? I always do the obvious like checking the verifications and using my common sense but still the picture gatherers and single males posing as couples sneak through

Is it reasonable to ask everyone you talk to to do a quick Skype call?

There's plenty of threads around this do do a little search and see what you find... Some think it's unreasonable but if someone contacts me and it appears it could go somewhere I expect them to send a face pic or video call pretty soon after... Otherwise they're just wasting everyone's time.

Good luck guys

Subject:

The Fake Profiles!

1 minute ago!

We have had the same issues after joining recently. Lots of fake or instantly deleted profiles once they've had a pic or two!

We have also been accused of being fake by a number of guys recently, ones we were interested in too! We weren't verified but didn't appreciate the accusation as we had only been on the site 4-6 weeks before meeting anyone. Surely that's reasonable?

Personally we wouldn't Skype (don't have it) or Kik (don't have it) but happy to swap numbers for whatsapp and speak if absolutely necessary.

To be honest we aren't looking for friendships. Just good sex! Talk is cheap in our book.

Every days a school day though and we are learning quickly that 70% of the guys on here are unreliable after having three last minute let downs already.

"Ps didn't mean to reply privately sorry "

Ah, I'll post my reply here 100% agree with you guys! Without a verification it's very tough. I didn't use Skype until very recently and my experience of kik has not lead me to any meets, and has mostly been picture gatherers.

I will also agree with the somewhat controversial view that I didn't come on here to meet friends, I want to screw! I'm not into exchanging endless messages, I'd rather just have a quick social and both be honest with each other, no harm in saying no you're not for me after meeting! Perhaps we're more of a club couple?

Not sure how to spot fake profiles on here, haven't really tried. I've been here 6 months, genuine profile, no veri's. My profile is not exactly the most sought after!

Regular dating sites are plagued with fake profiles, usually site generated or sponsored to keep the clients (men) interested, but they are pathetically easy to spot.

Generally, there are some "indicators".

Wanting to talk dirty and exchange sexy/dirty photo's "usually" indicates somebody gathering "wank fodder"

You can always do a reverse image search to see if their pics are grabbed from elsewhere on the Web.

Go with your instincts , especially if they're unable to provide face pics or a phone number to chat through .

The biggest clue is also being met with phone book sized list of reasons why they can't do anything that would vouch for their sincerity.

For those who don't want to give out a phone number for whatsapp, it's easy and safe to open a kik account. There's a new video feature. If they don't want you to see them, avoid.

We don't use cam or Skype (don't have it) and don't like to give out personal details like phone numbers as we need to be discreet as we have very inquisitive teens, we are totally genuine as told by our veris, we use Kik as it's easy and doesn't use personal details.

I prefer to use kik as its a bit more anonymous, plus its easier to communicate there than hoping people are constantly on fab ... plus you can ask for a non generic pic , ask for,a pic of them holding a household object..., spoon, pen etc ..or ask them to pose ... finger on lips or v sign..lol , in this selfiie obsessed age its easy ( this is my method of ing out blokes pretending to be single ladies or couples.. yep its happened and its sad !)

I'm in agreement with this. Kik has its flaws but its much easier to arrange a meet with an app that had proper push notifications than hoping someone is on line on fab. With video calling available on kik and WhatsApp (WhatsApp requires a phone number) it can be quick to discover if they are playing you or not. So I disagree with some of the comments that say only fakers want to move to these platforms.... I can't see why you wouldn't want to when you are serious about a meet

Basically look for an established profile, not one that is a month old, veris help but aren't the be all and end all. You can ask for a phone call or cam chat but don't call them out as fake if they say no, I always say no.

Reverse search their pics and women write differently then men think they do, other women pick that up.

But all this doesn't mean they will turn up, even genuine swinging couples /singles do sometimes change their mind and don't have the balls to let you know.

Search Tineye on google. Will have an arrow, add saved pic to that and it'll search straight away, giving you a number of how many sites it on over the internet. If it's 0 then it's the only copy of that pic and should be legit

Personally I prefer to use kik than WhatsApp initially.

I can keep my privacy without giving my number out, can photo verify by asking for a personalised selfie and even use the live camera feature to chat "face to face".

When I get a message on here or send one, I send a face picture so hope for the same back before engaging in further conversation.

Check their verifications and the verifications of those that have verified them. For some that may sound a bit extreme, but sometimes it's necessary.

Thanks for all your responses, definitly given me something to think about with WhatsApp. I'll be asking either for a quick cam call or a specific item photo from now on. I may put in my profile so people who message us are aware that it's something they'll need to do at some point. Down with time wasters!

Some are obvious from the get go. Kik and other various apps are useful, but you can still get played - I know I have.

I guess proof only comes when they turn up at your door/in the pub or cafe/open their door to you.

Until that moment, I always keep a little scepticism around so I don't feel like a complete sucker.

It is getting a joke. In my area, there are two profiles that join, have pics, but never get verified despite constantly updating statuses to say "meet was amazing" etc. I always challenge them and call them out and suddenly they delete their profile.

Instinct is the best way. If they do not have a green tick then people can easily get a green flag. They do not even need to show their face. Easy to do if genuine. Not so easy if they are a single posing as a couple.

Whilst the green flag is not 100% reliable, it is better than nothing.

I try to use a combo of the both, followed by a phone call/skype as others have mentioned.

Have one profile picture and all your others are for friends only. Also, only send or accept friend requests with those you've met.

If you arrange a meet, go for a social at a time and location so if it's a no show, at least you can go shopping etc..

If they aren't photo verified within two hours I normally think they are fake, surely that's the entry level and that first verification takes max twenty minutes and I feel anyone willing to put any effort in should be doing at least that even if they don't have any photos to show you

No photo verification combined with a meet verification would prevent us even replying to someone. If someone had a few verifications and no photo veri we still wouldn't speak as we have had a few "verified couples" all verified by fake single guy accounts.

Photo verified is a major tip, and I don't know why anyone genuine in here won't do it, as ONLY the site admin EVER get to see the photo you send in, and it does prove (male/female/couple) you are who you say you are.

Verifications list; if the person you are chatting with has the little green tick on their profile, as them to display them publicly, for a short while, so you can read through them, to check they have actually met others from here, and not just created a fake profile to verify themselves.

If all else fails, send them a phone number so they can call you number witheld, for a chat (this usually sorts out)

Photo veri - can be faked.

Displaying veris - my choice and not at the request of some stranger.

Give phone number out - to a stranger? not bloody likely, even by withholding number.

Anyone can write on paper there user name and date and a single guy setting a couples profile up could get a female friend to do the photo with him. A few good meet verifications from different people, ages and areas being site supports and sending a face pic is what we look at. If someone isn't verified and doesn't send a face pic we don't plan a meet unless we're going to a club and we ask them to meet us there. Got to say we've not had problems of single guys if they've sent us a face pic and we've arranged a meet they have always turned up. When we first joined we did get caught a couple of times by a couples profile. But looking back we were new to here and silly. They had one verification and didn't ask or send us there number. Again normally if you arrange a meet they give you there number or ask for yours so you can contact each other. Nothing will be 100% but over time you get a feeling and message they send the way they talk will give you a idea

Whilst there are obviously a great many indicators that a person may be a fake none are definite.

The amount of time involved in communicating with people and weighing up their response in order to assess their reliability makes fab less and less worthwhile.

We prefer meets at clubs now. Even if the person we arrange a meet with turns out to be fake there are always lots of real people in the club to play with.

I ask guys to go on kik quite quickly after messages on here. It's the only way to get pictures sent instantly and with kik you can tell if it's a live picture rather than a gallery picture.

I also wouldn't Skype anyone if they asked me, doesn't mean I'm fake, just means I'm more than likely sat in my pjs with no make up on!

It's been proven over time that my instincts are not to be trusted :P"

Ha ha. Mine too. Strange as we have been speaking to a guy who we meet through a forum post. We got on incredibly well or so I though and were due to meet on Wednesday, he just left our group chat and Fab over night. Not that we are due any answers and he can do as he pleases but a simple I can't meet anymore would have been nice.

"Whilst there are obviously a great many indicators that a person may be a fake none are definite.

The amount of time involved in communicating with people and weighing up their response in order to assess their reliability makes fab less and less worthwhile.

We prefer meets at clubs now. Even if the person we arrange a meet with turns out to be fake there are always lots of real people in the club to play with.

Us too. We will only meet in clubs

Even if they are not fake, we just may not be compatible with each other. Or they may not be fake but aren't as they described themselves

In a club, we are likely to find someone else who we are compatible with

For me i think people sometimes forget what fabs is for. Different people want different things and sometimes forget the whole point.

I always try to read profiles and sometimes veries to understand people and see if i want to see them. A major indicator of fakes for me is when people start sending you one liners or bormbarding you unecessarily.

Those profiles usually go unlos after 24hrs :-/

Is it reasonable to ask everyone you talk to to do a quick Skype call?

Generally, there are some "indicators".

Wanting to talk dirty and exchange sexy/dirty photo's "usually" indicates somebody gathering "wank fodder"

You can always do a reverse image search to see if their pics are grabbed from elsewhere on the Web.

This.

Why do people assume your willing to exchange nudes just cause you're on here.

Asking people for a quick Skype chat shouldn't be a problem for anyone genuine. If they are so stuck up that they get arsy about the request then they're probably not worth meeting anyway.

Yeah..so if you can't talk right now means you're fake?. We all have lives and just because you can message doesn't mean you can talk on the phone

"We have blocked unverified people

To us, verification by club owners mean a lot more than verification by individuals

Totally agree one of the best verifications you can is from a club owner "

Definitely helps but not all like clubs though. It can be a mind field but with time comes experience

Not that easy to fake a couples photo verification, especially if you are a single guy. Firstly you need to find a female. I bet most of the single guys posing have had little or no contact with a female in a long time, if ever.

IF they get a female it needs to be a face pic holding the paper. The fakes tend not to like giving their real face pics. If it isn't a face pic, it has to be a full length nude. Not that easy to convince a friend to do.

Of course it is not 100% proof, but the photo veri nearly eliminates all chances of it being a single guy. As time goes on it can be an issue if a couple seperates but I am talking about brand new couple profiles that are blatantly dudes.

I don't generally do Skype either but I don't think that's the point. If you are talking to someone who you are genuinely interested in meeting and they want to have a quick Skype chat to verify that you are who you say you are probably because they have been messed around on numerous occasions then to a genuine person that shouldn't be a problem. It's not about your preferences but about helping to put people at ease when they have clearly been messed about by the numerous fakes and idiots which we all no exist on the site. It's not my way of doing things but my point is that I don't think it should be a problem for genuine people who haven't got anything to hide to go out of their way for 2min to put someone they are thinking of meeting at ease.

'Fake' profiles come in different forms and there's no foolproof way to avoid them. Verifications are subjective and can be faked as can pictures so relying on them is a mistake. Our rule is simple, we never rush meetings but prefer to chat and get to know people over a reasonable period of time first. Anyone who's not keen to do that isn't for us. On the basis that we get on and like whatever pics we've exchanged then we'll arrange to go on cam so we can all be assured of who's who. If they won't do that then we move on. We'd never meet anyone based on a few images or the opinions of people on a website we don't know or trust.

By sticking to our rules we manage to out the timewasters and are happy to leave it at that since we're looking for quality not quantity. Our view is that anyone who's looking to meet random people at very short notice is likely to be quite frequently let down in one way or another. Each to their own, however.

I don't meet anyone at the drop of a hat.

I don't want to have sex with just anybody, too old for one night stands.Lol

Put time and effort into getting to know someone. It makes for a chilled relaxed meet with all the benefits that go with it

Someone you have messaged for a while will happily send you a pic doing something specific

So you get photo-verified as a genuine couple, then split up after a period of time yet continue using the same 'verified' profile posing as a couple when you're not. That's fake. There's no perfect way to prevent fake profiles.

Here's something I have never come across. Really good looking person or people who have ever only had one photo taken of them. A the average good looking girl in her early 20s probably takes an average of one selfie a day. Why would they only have one pic of themselves for fab?

The problem isn't the honest people who change their accounts if they become single for example, it's the ones who carry on pretending to be a couple when they aren't.
