Beware of Fake Profiles!
Posted : 26 Feb, 2013 08:29 PM

Hello everyone. I just wanted to post a topic on here so you folks could know that there are some people here on this site that are lying to you. Sure, they could be as sweet as can be, but they aren't who they say they are.



Recently, this has happened to me by a former user of this site. The person stole pictures of a model from some other site and claimed that it was them instead. Then, when confronted about it, apparently I was the liar or untrustworthy person. It breaks my heart to have to be cautious of this kind of thing from people on a Christian site, but it happens.



I advise you to do everything you can to get on Skype or do some kind of background check on people as you get to know them to make sure that they are telling the truth about themselves. Protect yourself physically and emotionally from these frauds. I would hate for something like this to happen to you too. :prayingm:

Aww, I'm so sorry that happened to you. That is not right at all! I think because the site is free that attracts ALL sorts of people to join it. I know sites like christian mingle make you pay outragious prices, but I bet it does weed out some of the fakers. Not all, but some.. I think your warning is good for anyone in life! God bless!

I used to post a new picture of myself in my profile every week. Then someone sent me a rude message saying that it wasn't me in the pictures, because I was always changing my pictures. People can be complicated, I thought having only 1 or 2 pictures could be doubtful... Now I only have this picture and I let people think I'm a fake profile, I don't care anymore. :laugh::laugh:



But a good advice is after you are feeling comfortable talking to a person for days or weeks, to ask this person to turn the webcam on, so you can check if she/he is the same person from the pictures.

Same thing happened to me this past week. I was talking to this girl for about a week. I was a little suspicious from the start just because she started talking to me, not the other way around, which never happens, at least in my experience. There was also ALOT of typos in her messages, and English isn't the primary language for many of these scammers. It was towards the end of the week when she tried asking for money. That was when it finally hit me. I told her, or him for all I know, not to contact me again and reported them to the site. That profile was deleted by site admins but they probably have several others out there.
