Spotting a fake profile

Signs that a profile is not a real member, and what to do when you see one.

A fake profile on a site for women often looks polished and slightly unfinished at the same time. The photos are too even, the answers slide off anything specific, and the wish to leave Only Lesbians arrives early. She may love everything you love, very quickly, and still be unable to meet or to appear on a video call.

Ask one ordinary question about the town she claims, or about something in the photo. A real person can answer without restarting the charm. A script repeats the affection and moves to another app, or to money. Romance scams is the money. Why it is better to stay on the site is the app. Either one is enough to stop.

You do not have to prove your suspicion. Block and report. How to block and report does not ask you to be certain. If the photos are the only thing that bothered you, photos that get a reply shows what an ordinary profile looks like beside a studio set.

We will never ask you for a fee to verify someone, and a member who offers to verify you for money is part of the same problem.
