Why do men pretend to be women on here and other sites. i don't understand they set up a meet with straight men and then wonder why the guy they meet up isn't understand interested. they have more luck saying they are men looking for men they don't have to use there real name or a pic of there face if they want to be discreet.when i have set up meets i arrange to call them about a hour before we meet if i can't get in contact then i don't meet up.

Yep thats what gets me, she was verified but they were all within a month of her joining and they are all now over 4 months old. We even swapped numbers for txting. Never talked though. Her pics were amazing but no pvt pics.

here's a tip:

open a new tab on your browser and go to google - then click "images" on the top right of the page - then go to back to fab and open the gallery of the person you are talking to, click on one of the pics while holding down the mouse button, and you can drag the pic over onto the google image search tab, then drop it into the search box.

Google will then search for all of the other websites on the internet where that image appears - basically telling you if they are fake pics downloaded off another website. If they are, click on the "report" link underneath the pic, include some of the links for where the pics are found, and the person will get banned.

Dose that work with a picure search i know if you do a search of there email you can find any sites they have used to create accounts with. plus Dosent adding a pic change it so pics on here won't be same. when you check the properties of a original pic you can find out when it was taken and what camera was used but you lose that info when you change it to different format or if it gets resized. i would say if they email you with a email address Thats made up of lots random letters and numbers and any pic they send you the name of the pic is lots of random letters and numbers then they are fake. also if they person is single and there pics look like someone else must of been in the room to take them.

I'm not sure what you are trying to say, but the Google reverse image search still works if the pic has been cropped, resized, captioned, watermarked, reversed, changed to black and white etc etc.

Absolutley nothing. We reported a profile that not only had false pics but also had a freinds mobile number on it. She was getting disgusting texts and calls because of this site.

Admin did nothing about it. They didn't even contact the number to see who's number it was.

People can disagree as much as they like and stick up for admin but they did jack shit and my female friend had call after call and text after text.

She even threatened to go to the police and they still did nothing.

So it would never be possible for someone they've met to have taken pics for them? I must remember not to ask ppl we meet to take pics of me and zxr together then cos it'd obviously make us fake if we're both in the pic

Unfortunately admin can't go on just one persons word or half the site would end up banned, and they also ask for as much info/ proof as poss. We had my pics stolen a few yrs ago and put on a fake profile but we were lucky that quite a few ppl who knew us reported it as soon as they saw it and some of the pics used had been in our private gallery for ages. The profile got banned and removed.

Im guessing its quite easy to verify yourself if you want to make a fake profile to string people along. I know of a male who admitted he had made a woman profile. All he had to do was verify himself and voila.....a genuine fem?

Just a thought.

The best way to beat the "time wasters" is do your research. Get a phone number and call them, make sure they have been verified or have at least meet established people off the site .Verified by web cam or phone doesn't mean jack to me.

I personally think that it it up to you to make sure the meet is going to happen, if it doesn't because of a lame excuse or no show notch one up on the to avoid list and move on

Even genuine profiles can be tarred with the timewaster tag, not all timewasters are fakes.

Everyones definition of a timewaster seems to vary as well.

Some people seem to think that if someone doesnt reply to their one line email, they are a timewaster. The profile may, or may not be fake too.

Everyone seems to have their own wee way of ing them out, if a pic looks too good to be true then it probably is so be sure to ask for a phone call early on.

If people are 'too shy' to make a phone call, then will they be 'too shy' to meet with you??

It is however unfortunate that many people chase the new profiles, that are mainly un-verified, no pics and very little text. Wait till they settle in, are verified, more confident about been on the site then mail. By then a well constructed email will stand out from all the other dross that they have had in previous weeks.
