Probably more to do with them being created by men to target women and couples!
Unless they're trying to scam people out of a few quid they're unlikely to target men |

"A high percentage of the female profiles are fakes, I'd say about 60/70%. that includes ones they generate on the site, duplicates, and fakes ie guys or scammers
This is total nonsense"
True... more like 95% am I right 🤬 |

There's a fake profile on the way coast that's not a fake profile!
Like they exist. I've met them. My friends have met them. They are very well verified.
But they use photos of porn stars on their profile 😂 |

But it's always men starting threads about the site being full of them and how they're getting caught out by them again and again. |

One of the funniest things I've seen on fab was a blazing row that kicked off on a thread late one night and by the early hours of the next morning two of the combatants were actually arguing with themselves because they had forgotten which profile they were logged in as.
They were answering themselves because they forgot to switch profiles before launching an attack back😂 |

I just assume that those men are the ones that message absolutely everyone on fab thus increasing their chances of meeting dodge accounts.
If you never message anyone, your way less likely to encounter bad actors. |

I mean to a degree yes, but some people and personality types are jusy more vulnerable to these scams.
It's like how elderly people are far more likely to scammed by cold callers.
So I don't think it's just people that message absolutely everyone. Scammers are usually good at spotting susceptible people |

Did I mention that I've never come across a scammer? Not even one. None. Zip. Nada.

There is a fella on here running a few fake accounts, I've reported him more than once. Anyway, he always used a similar name for the "couples" accounts. Might change a letter or a number. Haven't seen any of them in an age. Then recently a new profile pops up with similar name again, smilar type of pics. I was certain it was same fella.
But it's not, just a couple oblivious to the similarities! |

Me neither….🤷♂️
Or not that I’ve engaged with, although I did reply to a request to fuck someone’s wife and called them out on it and and he admitted there was no wife, I asked if this approach ever actually worked and he just replied “No…….😂”
At least he was honest…..😂 |

There a lad on here from the Irish speaking area of Waterford
Keeps popping up with new profiles claiming to be single ..while married with kid.when find out he claims to be leaving the wife and day now.
I have seen messages he has sent to a girl who he stalks non stop and won't take no for answer.
literaly she has screen shots of previous profiles of his and messages.
Has also came out in her investigation into him that she is not the first and has actually followed women in real life as well around ..dangerous little man
So if you think you know him block ASAP..it's obvious diff profile every few weeks with him face blurred out
God knows how many others are like him out there
Women ye have to be careful..Ireland isn't safe these days and these platforms give the weirdos scope to engage |

"Your taking crap if never came across a fake profile "
Why's that?
I've seen profiles that I know from a mile away are fake so I either ignore them or report them but I've never once sent a message to one or had a message from one.
They really are that easy to avoid. |

"A number of female profiles that join around the same time…. Have slightly different locations etc, but the profiles description are almost identical. Surely a few if not all would be fake"
I'd never in a million years be paying enough attention to who is joining and when to pick up something like this |

I find the site generally adds new profiles to stay relevant.
The profiles that are false for example.
Men pretending to be women for self gratification.
Women pretending to be a different woman to catch her fwb out.
Partners logging in to catch out someone they suspect are on the site.
Fake pages setup for monetary gains using fake photos.
Over the years I seen all types of the above. |

Some fucking right nut jobs out there! Know of a woman that had her place of work, address and details shared on dating sites and had men follow her at her work. |

It's not just that it's creepy disgusting behaviour, but he could have put her and her daughters in serious danger. They though of him as a friend too. She said in court if she was asked to name 500 people she thought capable, he wouldn't be in it. |

I’ve had a few! One was using my friends photos and 2 others using well known PT photos and another one of the Geordie Shore lads ( I replied back at least be original if your stealing stuff)
Didn’t really entertain any but most of the “fake” ones I find are lads just wanting attention and they delete after a day |
