The Current "Flood" of Newest Member Fake/Scam Profiles ... but are they .....

The Current "Flood" of Newest Member Fake/Scam Profiles ... but are they .....

.



... or, BOTH???

In addition to the 'usual' fake/scam profiles that show up every day on the Newest Members section of the site, I noticed that the current 'FLOOD' of them are being posted by what can only be described as "Lazy or just plain Stupid(s)"!

ALL OF THEM are of 18 to 25 year old women from the USA, with pictures,

ALL OF THEM have the title of "Hello There"; and,

ALL OF THEM have the same line on their Introductions:

"Loking For some fun"

There are literally and figuratively too many of them on that section of the site to even bother reporting them, but hopefully, it will save some of the 'less-educated' guys who look at them from making costly mistakes by commenting on their pictures or trying to contact them.

Yes, it is quite annoying. They also provide "their" phone numbers when they blindly IM you!


Patti_Kake replies on 3/31/2019 7:59 am:
That may be a 'lesson-learned' to always change your IM status to "Busy" when you log on, as many others have learned to do!

No, I don't have a pool. But, it appears you need a reality-check!

The flurry of fakes are a result of the feds killing Backpage and related services. Most will be solicitations.

The so-called "flurry" of fake/scam profiles on this site are nothing new.

What surprises me is the rafy of young(ish) women looking for a "soul mate" on this site. Apart from the fact that few of us are in that market, these womens are usually on the other side of the Atlantic!


Patti_Kake replies on 3/31/2019 8:23 am:
First of all, sorry, but I (and probably anyone else who reads your comment), have no idea what "rafy" means!

I find it puzzling that you would spend time looking at "youngish women" profiles on "the other side of the Atlantic!" Seems to me your time on this site could be better spent.

Thanks Patti, I have been a member on an off for several years now. The site has corrupted so bad I have given up my gold membership.


Patti_Kake replies on 3/31/2019 8:27 am:
You're welcome! In my opinion, without a Gold membership on this site, except for the Blogs, there really is no advantage to remaining as a member.

I really don't think beating a dead horse on this subject over and over again is going to accomplish anything but the repeated comments of the same people who experience the same things that the blog poster has experienced and in reality no one is actually twisting anyones arms to stay on here if they have to constantly keep reminding those of us who have a goal on here ...so stop whining and get on with things you wanted to accomplish when you signed up..ffs people its not a career its a sex site... lol

Best to go with that old rule (and common sense) "if it seems too good to be true, is probably is".

As ALL of these profiles have identical headlines and Introductions, I would venture to say that "common sense" doesn't enter into the equation!

this has been going on for years and years. Many of them get deleted after a few days to a week. They're easily spotted by having a screenname with random numbers. If you view the profile, they'll usually have generic wording or a cut/paste description. Majority of the fake female profiles I've found have 1 face pic and 1 tits pic. More than 75% I find use pictures of pornstars. More than 50% of those use Dani Daniels pics. lol. I can go on and on about spotting these fakes but they make it pretty damn obvious. If I do find a profile of interest but seems might be fake, I will do a google image search of their profile pictures. Not always 100% accurate but will quickly confirm any pictures stolen from a website.
As far as reporting these profiles, I don't think HotMatch.com really does anything about this anymore. I saw a profile a couple weeks back that stole videos of one of the most popular profiles to try and pass as their own. It was reported by many. I even tried to report it but the link wasn't even active to do so

I discount anything contained in a man's profile or in an email that he may send to me. My personal never-fail 'barometer' for 'reading' an individual, if and when I initially do meet someone for coffee, is my 'gut-reaction' when that 'date' is concluded.

You'd think the site would know by now
that using bots isn't going to lessen the gender
imbalance and that women don't
need to be reminded that taking the
initiative might get them
closer to their goals without the
headache of having to treat
those unworthy as
human beings.I have to agree
with the vindictive mean lady
this isn't a career.

Using more than all the road!


Patti_Kake replies on 4/1/2019 6:58 am:
We're in agreement. My posting Blogs about these fake/scam profiles isn't a career, they're simply Blog posts!

I don't think a person who's paying attention to details would get fooled. I mean... it should be pretty obvious. Unless one is desperate... and blind.. lol... 😁
What do you think?
So.. whatcha been up to? 😊🤔😘


Patti_Kake replies on 4/1/2019 7:08 am:
I won't pretend to know what goes on in the minds of the many different individuals that look at any of the profiles on this site, but it's obvious by some of the comments left by some of the individuals under the pictures on these fake/scam profiles that they are uneducated/ignorant of "paying attention to details."

I wouldn't worry about that person's comments. It's always a broken record with that one. Nothing wrong with making an observation. It may or may not change things, but who cares? It's your space... right? 😘


Patti_Kake replies on 4/1/2019 7:22 am:
I've learned through experience that engaging anyone about a difference of opinion is a futile exercise, that benefits no one.

Patti, as usual, an informative and helpful blog post. The only one to watch... You are totally correct about the current flood. I don't even bother with a new member search anymore. Keeps me busy enough reporting the ones that interact with me, view, contact, flirt and hotlist.

A recent uptick that I have seen lately is obviously fake Gold members with local, targeted profiles. They will want to meet for coffee or dinner but of course, get you offline first with text or email. That is quickest way to give up personal information that can be used to steal your identity or part you with your money. Never give out your number and use an anonymous email account for offline communication.

For the skeptical like FireGod*****, contrary to popular belief, HotMatch.com does react and deactivate fake accounts. Enough reports will get them gone. When you do report, don't just comment on their photos that they are fake, click Report Abuse and give them some evidence. Copy and paste their terms of use violation like the website, phone number or email they sent or do a "Search Google for image" using the Chrome web browser and send the link.

I hope in commenting, that like you, we can help out some of the naive that are ignorant of the scammers with fake profiles, photos and locations. -- Take care Patti! Have a great day and thanks for being so diligent.


Patti_Kake replies on 4/1/2019 7:30 am:
Thank you for your comment. Hopefully it will be read and benefit those that are less-educated or misinformed about fake/scam profiles.
