Thanks, good to know. It does make their inaction hard to understand

I reported lots most are still on here. even one some how manged to be verified he had pic of two different people on his account reverse searched them. so frustrating men just trying to get nudes of women with there fake accounts discusting behaviour.

What are you talking about ? All the accounts I have seen are posing as women every single one. I highly doubt it's men trying to get nudes. It's most likely scammers trying to funnel to other sites to get your cc info. And having a pic of two different people is not an issue there are couple accounts that will have this not to mention swingers, the issue is stolen profile pics from other sites and spoofing locations. Scammers can be any gender.

They were stolen pictures as I reverse searched also I was talking to this person when I said to them about they said it different hair colour. I have message these people who were trying to get me to send pic so don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about

[Mi****]

Ok so now I know. The scammers targeting women ask for nudes, the ones targeting men ask for ***. I had hoped women were spared here.

@blackrose-1213: do the conversations all follow similar patterns? The ones that hit me up almost always do

[Mi****]

Lol the asterisks in my post are ... Currency? Dinero? Euros? That's what they ask for

would you be specifically browsing male profiles ?

[bl****]

They are fitness influences or porn stolen pics amazingly there are quite a a few guys with 12 an13inch 😂 some have multiple accounts different ages etc some don't have face pic an keep saying they will send one an don't etc story very but all asking for nudes an videos

[Milesh]

I have filters on but I still see male profiles for some reason so it's mixed majority of profiles for women are fake I have done the reverse check on guys too but find the profiles set to female are far more often fake. You can spot the fakes by the change in messages when they hand you off to the scammer by reading sentences out loud. Words that are close In meaning but not quite the same. For example scammer says "I lose my work" close but not quite unless of course you were referring to losing a document or file not I lost my job. Scammers use a 2 person system one to draw you in then the other funnels you to another site . Context and grammer are key another example scammer says "my phone go off" not quite they most likely mean there phone got shut off as they try to get you to click a link to another site to chat. Rule 1 never click links from strangers. Asking for nudes is not really a scam it's scummy for sure now asking you to click a link to send nudes very very suspect.

Male,female,trans,nonbinary it does not matter what the profile says all could be scammers. Look for the tell tale signs of a suspect profile , reverse image search , pay attention to messages, grammer and context. Ai can write some very convincing openers but a person who does not speak English as a first language will struggle to form proper sentences. Scammers are lazy ,empty profiles , basic names can be a tip off as well. Since you can't directly ask for coin here they will most likely try to funnel you to a site with no rules like ***am.

Let it go mate. I made a Hugh amount of noise and got some decent connections for about a week and then went straight back to hundreds of international accounts flooding my feed again.

Not "allowing ", please continue to report them, the more reports made the quicker they can be dealt with.

When a user signs up 2658 miles away from me and immediately has a crush on me it’s pretty obvious there is a problem. It’s like this site has no safeguards whatsoever. I am continually talking to people and then just getting blocked out of nowhere and then their profile gets deleted. It’s getting real old.

[bl****]

Never said they were scammers fake profiles

[bl****]

Using pics of other people to get nudes etc is still a scam of sorts who know what they would do with thos pics

yes, it got confirmed - and there's bits I understand and bits I also see the issue

Basically - a new account has a default filter that people over/under 10 years their age cannot message, unless they change the filter.   Whilst this removes an initial influx - @HatfieldMaster has pointed out there's people who have placed ads or mentioned in their profile they're looking for someone outside this default, but haven't been aware they need to change the filter to permit it.  

So, for example - a 25 year old lady wishing for a 35+ Daddy Dom, cannot receive messages unless they change it, which they have to be aware of in the first place. 

That would explain ALOT of the f**king annoying kinky gift panhandling. Its absolutely ridiculous. If there is a default age filter of a new females chronological age +/- 10 yrs , im gonna wake up 28 yrs old tomorrow after my dob somehow gets changed tonight.

While the original topic has prompted a lot of valuable input — including tips on how to spot fake profiles, avoid unwanted contact, and what actions are taken by us — the recent pages have largely shifted toward unproductive criticism of the platform and the team.
