"Without naming anyone...how do you spot signs of a fake profile... Getting to the point of where I'm doubting everyone...!!" It can be difficult, especially when they have fake verifications, try google images with their pics, cross reference their verifications, ask for a quick phone call, Facebook, etc | |||
| |||
| |||
| |||
"Verifications are a good start but check that the profiles that gave the verification are active as we have found one or two ppeople have made other fake profiles to verify their fake profile !!!!! How desperate do you need to be to be that fake ???? " really ?? good god that's pretty desperate | |||
" pics that look like holiday snaps can be a giveaway. " Why do you say that? | |||

" pics that look like holiday snaps can be a giveaway. Why do you say that?" ok this is not always the case and its only from personal experience but a couple of fakers we outed ( not this site tho) their pics were all on holiday and looked just" wrong" out of place and like she had no idea they would be posted on an internet swinging site. but that's just our experience lots of gen peeps with holiday pics. | |||
"People who wont swap face pics are usually fake." we only show face pics when we are going to meet people. but yes agree with you there. | |||
"Gut instinct works well. And if it looks too good to be true - it usually is..."  | |||
" pics that look like holiday snaps can be a giveaway. Why do you say that?" Wondered that too, we have holiday pics on our profile... Must be fake x | |||
" pics that look like holiday snaps can be a giveaway. Why do you say that? Wondered that too, we have holiday pics on our profile... Must be fake x" oh come on guys, u know we don't mean every profile with holiday pics. cant tell me you never seen pics on a profile and thought, they just don't look right ? don't try to make out we meant everyone who has holiday pics is a fake !!! | |||

Ahh ok, see what you mean. | |||

"Gut instinct works well. And if it looks too good to be true - it usually is..."
This is pretty much what it boils down too. We never really worry if a profile is fake or not, we just trust our instincts and won't meet anyone we have the slightest suspicion or concern about. We have knocked people back who subsequently have become well verified but equally we've never had a problem with time wasters. | |||
 | |||
| |||
"...try google images with their pics..." I'm reported some pretty outrageous fakes recently. One using a model's photo (not a well known model but still) and another using a pic of a member of the cast of Jersey Shore.  | |||
  | |||
| |||
So that's a fake.
Thanks.  | |||

"I wouldn't totally rely on Google reverse, my partner has some pics on our couples profile here, Facebook and another site but they never come up in reverse searches "And similarly pics sometimes come up in the search but it doesnt mean they are fake.

I state that's a pathetic over reaction, my opinion ,I stand by itYou then suggest that Facebook can not be used to verify a profile, I suggest it can and have used it several times. Is it possible that I am right Zane you are wrong "Perhaps you should retrack and read what I have written. Nowhere have I said that MY opinion is the right one, I said I was simply expressing my opinion as you did yours and I also said you are perfectly entitled to yours. By the same token so are all the other posters, YOU are the one that has been bandying words like pathetic and immature not me. And if you care to reread the thread you might also care to note that the things you claim I have stated were not stated by me at all. I did not say Facebook could not be used as a means of verification - I posed the question that if people had fake Fab accounts they might also have fake social network accounts, nothing more, you have chosen to put your own interpretation on my words. EVERYONE on a forum is entitled to express their opinion and most of us appreciate when we do that not everyone else will agree with it. I do not however thing it is necessary to use words such as pathetic or immature in answer to people simply because they do not behave as you do. If Facebook works for you that's great and good luck in using it to verify your prospective meets. We all have our own means of doing so, yours is no more right or wrong than anyone else's. | |||
"Not on face book, due to work problems I had to delete it and we also hide our feedback so we must be fake.." Had the same at Christmas but deleted all work mates and all trace of my current job | |||
"Without naming anyone...how do you spot signs of a fake profile... Getting to the point of where I'm doubting everyone...!! It can be difficult, especially when they have fake verifications, try google images with their pics, cross reference their verifications, ask for a quick phone call, Facebook, etc Facebook? Seriously? Anyone that I'd never met asked for that they'd be blocked like a shot!
Why?? Are you ashamed about what yiu do on here
How does my response even equate to being ashamed of my life style? It's called discretion. And it's about security and privacy.
So why would you block someone for asking you to look at their Facebook , a pathetic over reaction ??
That's twice you've used the word pathetic to challenge someone having a differing opinion to you...
But not an overreaction and certainly not a pathetic one. I would not want to meet someone that couldn't see why such a request was a massive invasion of it.
I have people from here and a considerable number from the London fet scene who I regularly socialise with on my Facebook. I have no problem with my vanilla and real lives crossing over, but someone who ive never met? Not a chance!
Let me clarify as your struggling to understand, the act of blocking someone for suggesting using Facebook is pathetic, . Also you can look at a persons profile without befriending them? It's possible to get you name and address from your IP address or phone number so your obviously deluded about the power of Facebook
how on earth does seeing a Facebook profile proove someone is genuine if they don't add you? They cout tell you any name...
What? Put your name into google
If someone has a fake profile on here surely its not beyond the realms of possibility that they might also have fake accounts on social network Hi, how are you finding things on here? Have you been inundated with messages?
sites, they presumably are fantasists?
True, but let's be honest your be very pedantic to create an argument, if your suggesting that Facebook can not be used to help verify a profile then i must have been duped by the last 40 meets I have had on here

Is it possible that I am right Zane you are wrong "One big difference in the 2 scenarios is that you are the only calling people pathetic and immature. And that does kind of weaken your position (rightly or wrongly) as it comes across as exactly what you are accusing people of being for not agreeing with you. Of course people can be verified as genuine ny using Facebook. No one has said otherwise though it is of course not a failsafe solution. The point I made and that others have agreed with is why on earth would people disclose so much personal information to someone that's messaged them on a swingers site and isn't even convinced they are genuine | |||

"People who wont swap face pics are usually fake." Really....Weve never ever shown or sent a face picture and we are not fake. Everyone weve met that hasnt shown or sent a face pic has been genuine too. | |||

I would say that in 7 years on the scene I've had no problems with fakes or timewasters. I'd never say my way was the only way but I would say it works very well for us. | |||

"I'm guessing if your facebook privacy setting is set to friends only as mine is, they won't come up as I tried some of mine and they didn't. True, Facebook isn't essential but it can help, even if you have a quick look then get unfriended, to block someone for asking is pathetic "To trust some stranger with your facebook, where they can instantly contact your mum/dad/sibblings, see where you work etc is madness, so we would block nosey twits. That and I (male half) well I'm not on facebook at all. But then on reading this thread we are fakes anyways as despite having met in person veris from clubs, we dont have pics on nor do we display veri's | |||

"Hell, why stop at Facebook, how about asking suspected fakes for two recent utility bills and their passport. You can't be too careful!" I only meet once I have a blood sample and a signed affidavit from their parents that they're real. | |||
"Hell, why stop at Facebook, how about asking suspected fakes for two recent utility bills and their passport. You can't be too careful!" And council tax bills, to prove they live together | |||
