Scammer profiles - how to generaly spot them, and what to do.

Hello All

This is a general message to all new and current members on what to look out for for scammer profiles.

Scammer profiles are usually; new profiles, young (20-30 yo), single female profiles, with a very limited one line bio, usually 1 sexy pic (to draw you in). They usually have something in the lines of "Im new here, looking for a good time, lets chat" etc. When do do chat with them, they usually immediately want to take you off site, by either supplying a chat link, or asking for other forms of contact details. Once they have these details, they ask for nudes, or full nudes etc.

And this is where they have you.
Once they have your full nudes (with face) they start to blackmail you saying that they want X rands/currency or they will post your explicit media on public platforms etc etc.

PLEASE... Do not fall for this.

Do not supply any form of external contact details.

Do not send full nudes to someone you've had 1 chat with.

Remember their aim is to scare you into paying. Their bark is worse than their bite.

IF this happens, please report them immediately and include any and all text / information in the report.

And also lodge a support ticket with IT so that the site can keep track of their IP's and ban them accordingly.

Also to note, that sometimes these single female profiles are legitimate, and they are just unsure and dont want to type much. That is why although these scammer profiles can usually be spotted, you are never 100% sure, until they start the scam.

So please, please please.. be wary and use some common sense.

Very wise words my friend, some questions asked by them also just makes it a no brainer that they are Scammers, unfortunate a lit of the males think with the wrong head when reading these profiles.

The easiest way is to do a reverse picture search or check the background for non-RSA items

Also, as additional warning, for many unaware of todays technology.

You do not want to have face pics on public section of your profile. It is very easy to run face recognition searches across FB and Linked etc to find you and then attempt to extort you with threat of pay up or else will out you to work, family and friends etc.

Also, single guy and couple profiles are also potential risks. A profile I reported to police was that of a single guy, white and was even verified yet was a nigerian extortion ring.

Something from a woman's perspective:

Women won't post their faces openly. We are too aware of the dangers of being stalked. So if the profile pic is a face, it's probably a scammer.

Profile descriptions also give them away sometimes. My advice would be to chill on the full face pic until you've established they are real, and be aware of what kind of info you give out.

Stay safe naughties

This might not entirely fit into the "scammer" part of this post, and probably more into the "fake profile" genre, but generally when a message or two has been sent, no real information about the type of person the couple (or single member) is looking for and then suddenly "send pics" . . . .
