Is it just me or are fake profiles on the rise.
I know photos are being moderated maybe profiles and meets need to go through that same process.
Got this from an annalyd (See below) and another person has posted it as well. If people fall for this then I honestly dont know.

We received this same message earlier today. Definitely a scammer. It's wild out here🤪
>>>Hey All<<<
Just to give you a heads up!
Betsy1 is a extortionist!
Threatens to post your private information and private pictures on social media if you don't pay!
Uses + as a telephone number!
>>>BE aware!!! <<<
I have saved all the information and will open a case of extortion with SAPS!
Be careful out there!
So here is my 50 cents. I rarely chat with single ladies the legit ones are looking for couples and that’s fair I’m looking for couples.
Couples that just joined have a fresh photoless meet and messaged you is questionable so hard pass.
Besides couple relationship building takes time and I prefer it that way.
Finally no face in your dock pics and check your face through AI or google search if it links you take another one.
Fake profiles are certainly a hot topic. In the span of a month I have had some users reach out to me to ask to chat and immediately take it offline due to "limited messages" and then offer a WA number. After one of these tried to scam me using WA by attempting to piece together info from your phone number and user name and some pictures, it seems to be a safer option to go with TG, since you can actually hide your number there. The very latest one (single lady) with a profile less than an hour old immediately gave me her number (which is also openly on her profile). Once I mentioned that I don't use WA and suggested TG instead - gonners! Now I am also blocked from that profile. The irony...
This seems to be the wild west. At the very least you'd need to do your own due diligence and properly vet the profiles you interact with.
