How could she be so deceptive? It also gives weight to gender stereotypes many people might find uncomfortable, such as relying on tropes of male agression and female passivity receptivity in social sexual situations.

I have watched programs on tv about women who give out thousands of pounds so that the guy can come over to the uk, or meet them abroad, and they never find them again after losing all that money. In this article, I want to talk about using Google Images to do the same thing. The butter you up first, lead you on, give you a sob story and ask for money i.

Obviously, the con won't work if you travel to where they live for one thing, they probably don't really live therebecause there would be no need to send them money for a ticket.

Fake and suspicious profiles rife on dating sites - Now I know their style. This would be a good time to ask someone you trust for their opinion on the situation.

Online Dating Is Big Business are big business and the market is so saturated that the competition to keep up is stiff. Companies are vying for financial gains by recruiting and maintaining new members. Do some research and start with the before committing to a paid subscription. Some network sites make money from advertisements and member communication, while others like to inflate their member base to make it look as though users have plenty of matches to choose from. Females Are Often Fakes Up to 80% of all female profiles are created by the company itself in the hopes of snaring men to sign up and start paying their monthly fee. Do you know who you're chatting with, really? Another theory is that dating sites want to gauge how many members are trying to collect on a 3 or 6 month guarantee. Members have to reply back to all inquiries or else most companies will not back their site guarantee. There is more than one kind of fake profile. Some have one word answers and minimal information and others have exaggerated information with lots of interesting details. Scammers make quick use out of the exaggerated fake profiles in order to make money for the profile owner. This is typically either an escort service or port site trying to woo members with gorgeous photos and wild propositions. Pay For Real Dating If You Want More The idea is to have these people eventually pay if they want to see more of them. This is a common deceptive move and is focused on members with fetishes or plenty of money to spend on webcams and chat time. You would think these profiles would be blatantly obvious, but not always. They can sometimes be hard to spot. Another type of scammer that utilizes fake profiles are identity theft predators. They convince members to chat with them outside of the dating service site in order to get you to install chat software or special toolbar. A lot of people have fallen for this hook, line and sinker. They establish a connection with what they think is a real person and so they trust them enough to go the extra mile in order to maintain communication. It can be a minefield so you need to research these potentially fake profiles, to keep safe. The following should raise a red flag and clue you in on when to end communication or block certain users from contacting you. Beware of profile creators who seek only to drain you of money or steal your personal information using creative and deceptive techniques. It makes sense to choose your dating sites wisely and. Speak Your Mind, With Your Opinion Nice to see you made it to the end of the post. And thanks for reading too — Let us know your thoughts in the comments. I signed up for a 3 day trial on a site. This is the first mistake. The trial was actually 10 profile look ups and 10 messages. This had to be completed within 3 days so they called it a 3 day trial. It is highly deceptive but maybe not illegal. They have two types of members SM standard members and FC fantasy cuties. The FC members are elaborately generated by the site. If they change the header they can use the same profile for different headers. My 10 and 10 were used contacting FC members. No persons involved but purely fantasy profiles. In fact 100% of all the woman within more than 100 miles are FC members. There are FC members in all the towns within 25 miles of me This is true and yet I am sought the same as members with far more real women to choose from. They mark the status of members plainly but make getting hold of their paperwork that explains this and that you agreed to hard to find. If you ask the right questions they answer some. What this is is a site called lonely wives hookups. It is managed by a service that services multiple. Really quite a few. In my case they are offering a dating site with only fantasy women near me and see no problem with this. I payed less than 20 dollars to learn quite a lot about deceptive practices. If the site gets near trouble they shut it down change the name and open it up again all the time dodging any possible liability. The bottom line is many of these sites have very few actual women but they know how to tempt you to renew your subscription or simply rely on automatic recurring charges. I actually know much more about scams and deceptive practices should you be interested. Interesting to read simply because I and my business partner have built our own dating software, simply for dating. On many nanny sites scammers try to get money and personal information out of nannies and families. Your best bet to avoid being scammed is to never give or accept money for any reason before you meet the person. The same thing goes for personal info, even resumes as they have your phone number and address. It stinks that scammers are there, but if you pay attention you can usually avoid them. Well I had to see who this man was, but of course I had to renew. Unfortunately, I did,but only for 1 month rather than 3 or 6. Is there any way to put this site on blast to someone? I feel like such an idiot! Is there anyway I can demand a refund from this unethical dating site? Can I report them to anyone for these practices? While I certainly appreciate your comments, I can't help but wonder whether I'd get each and all options for your site for free. And if I didn't, want kind of marketing or incentives you'd wave in front of my nose to intice me to hand over my credit card. Care to comment on that? I've used Plenty of Fish some time ago before I met and married Pam. I found the site itself to be reputable. I'd suggest the duplicate profiles are probably done by the the person themselves, replicating on two sites as opposed to some conspiracy between the sites you mentioned. How did you best friend find these sites? Any success at all? Depending on your demographic, Plentyoffish and OkCupid work wonders for people as well and are free. Being in technology for awhile, I have heard a lot of stories about dating sites trying to lure people in with fake profiles, which I think is pretty detrimental to their long-term success. I have even heard some stories about certain dating companies being sold and then the buying company only found out later that there were so many fake profiles on there. This behavior isn't unexpected though because more and more businesses are using this type of tactic to try and promote themselves. You can see how many companies there are listed at that do this type of practice for instance. In a down economy you're going to have to pay attention to this kind of thing more and more as a consumer. Regarding how dating sites work, unless you're well off and have a lot more money than time, I don't think there's much of a point to paying for a dating site when you can use OkCupid particularly if you're younger and live in a big city for free. However, using a reputable paid service might help weed out people you wouldn't be interested in, so it does have that in its favor. In the end though, online dating is just one way to meet somebody, and you can also take up interest in a club or do some charity work and meet somebody IRL that matches your character and interests as well and a lot of people dismiss that option too easily. Funnily enough, I found PlentyOfFish to full of Players I. Kinda not my scene and wasn't then either. Neither was the pub or club scene. Great point that you make about common interests though. The site allowed communications but would block email addresses or numbers. The lady wanted to meet so I signed up and then all correspondense ended with her profile and the other couples. Once they've got you in, you'll get all sorts of offers from matches you'd think unlikely BUT really interesting — maybe extremely attractive, very rich, wildly sexual — extreme offers that seem too good to be true. Online dating is huge money designed, mostly, to suck your money. There's lots more opportunity out there which I describe in my eBook that are far more level headed, have integrity and operate with a high degree of transparency too. Sad you had to learn the lesson the way you did. Glad you came out of it reasonably unscathed though. Best of luck in the future and thanks so much for visiting and commenting too. So far, things have been good, whether paid or free. Seriously, if you're a guy, unless you're ridiculously good looking, girls usually don't send the first message. You gotta do that yourself haha. That's why I felt something was fishy when you said you had responses that quick. Stick to the trusted dating sites and just keep playing the numbers game. And as an owner with integrity, this is a real problem. I would say 30-40% of sign ups are fakes. It is bad for the industry to hear of these scams by dating sites. Basically, if it sounds like a scam it is a scam, beware. However, we were so annoyed about it, we have set up a new dating site that simply cannot have fake profiles. We are launching soon — only in Australia at the moment. We think its quite a novel and innovative idea and goes a long way towards resolving these issues. Very thorough article btw. I guess I was being a little facetious when I said there can be no fake profiles, because our site has no visible profiles!! So, some people could lie about their underlying profile… However, members can only meet via REAL anonymous dates that they create and schedule! We also validate all members via sms. This is part of our identification process before members date. And there are local scammers too. We are fans of your site too! And please do pop on back and let us know when you launch too. They would make a fake female profile, find their victims in chat rooms, trough msn, facebook or similar, and tell them that they need to connect at a certain dating website. Once a guy signs up, dating company gets its money, the scammer called e-whore gets paid, and the poor victim left with a few bucks less and disappointed. Took me months to get off their mailing lists. Thank goodness I never parted with any credit card info — I can only imagine what nasty stuff might have happened. Have you ever been caught like this yourself? I cant believe that I fell for it! They are very clever in some ways… but I did feel wary all along because the person was so full on for someone I had not yet met. Also they stick to emails rather than asking for an online chat…. It would be much harder for a man to pull the wool over your eyes on chat. Chat always makes it very clear as to where a guy is at. Anyway thanks again for your advice and comments! I have become suspicious because of the poetic claims of deep undying love and now he is in Nigeria with his mother who is in hospital having breast cancer surgery. The surgery is of course costing lots of money and he is rapidly running out of money. He has given me a couple of phone numbers and he has mine but has never rung. I tried sending a text to the one he has in Africa but have had no response. His pic is of a white guy supposedly living in Melbourne with business and family links to Africa… importing cocoa. The butter you up first, lead you on, give you a sob story and ask for money i. If you've already tried contacting him on numbers he's given you and he's failed to contact you back, I would suggest all the signs are there that this is, indeed, a con job. There's plenty of other fish in the sea — thousands of perfect partners just for you so take this as a learning experience and move on to someone with integrity as well as someone you can trust and verify. It's very common these days to get contacted by people in countries like Nigeria and Ghana who try to get inside your head and form a relationship, just to con and scam you. Thanks again for commenting and visiting our site too — very much appreciated.
