No, I don't even know what a fake profile is. We can usually spot someone who isn't serious about wanting the same things as us or is a single man pretending to be a couple for instance within two or three messages.

Loads of ways that flag as possible fakes

Here’s some of the ones that I’ve picked up on recently.

Single females: claim they’re gagging for cock, can accommodate and travel, yet not verified in any way after 6 months.(really? Your enticing guys to message but haven’t actually met anyone? Smells fishy)

Not verified yet photos look like they’ve been screenshot from a pc monitor.

Profiles claiming that high amounts of discression is wanted yet post numerous face photos all over profiles that look like they’ve come from PoF/Tinder etc.

Couples:

Been here a while, yet no photos or any type of verification. Small amount of text, usually along the lines of “looking for a good time” etc etc,

Profiles that have veris from 3 years ago, but nothing newer. Yet male photos continue to be uploaded while female photos remain well out of date.

Profiles that basically only look to chat on 3rd part apps instantly. (Mostly single female profiles that do this. Doesn’t break site rules but as soon as you start chatting a lot post links to pay-per-view sites. Hard to report as they haven’t broken Fab rules)

Profiles where they constantly get hidden. I rarely trust couples or single that feel the need to constantly hide and unhide profiles.

Profiles that constantly brag about such great meets with other users yet never get a verification.

Plenty of ways to spot fakes. It’s a side effect of making a site more accessible to all, rather than filtering out the fakes by requiring some form of verification prior to being able to view other profiles.

Just have to have your head on, an as the old saying goes, if it sounds to good to be true, it usually is.

So many fakes on here. Just reported one for the third time . Constantly posting pics found on various internet web sites is pretty easy to spot by google image search

They message me asking to meet. That's when I know they are fake.

New profiles who are just gagging to go all out. Pornstar pics (reverse image search is your friend). 'too good to be true' profiles, essentially.

We report a few each week. Admin are good at knocking them down, although we've reported the same one a few times but they're still around.

In most parts admin do a great job when profiles are reported. But I have found some profiles get blocked from my view, but still remain active and visible to others. I report not for personal gain, as that’s just sad, but more for the good of the community on here, where unfortunately, some poor person(s) will get caught out for what ever and in which ever way.

As bad as it’s gonna sound, it’s only single woman and couples profiles I think should be photo verified as a minimum before they can become fully active members. Why? As you can see from replies above, fakes profiles like those tend to be single guys looking for quick fixes or worse, rarely is a single guy gonna fake being a single guy IMO, an not once have I come across a female trying to pose as a male as of yet.

I once reversed searched an image on google and the picture was from a local paper! Unbelievable!

We always ask for a selfie with our name wrote on a piece of paper. X

"I can't x"

I block all non verified accounts. Helps cut back on a few. Although It does not stop the odd ones where people verify without meeting. I normally only chat with people who have a few good verifications that are also verified.

If someone won't oblige, do you assume them to be fake?

With difficulty because those operating under fake profiles are in a lot of cases very good at what they do.

Spotted a blatant one only today.

A quick tip to the fakers out there.

If you're going to use pictures from the web, try and steer clear of using glamour models and porn stars as the chances are that you'll be rumbled
