Tips for Spotting a Fake Profile
1- Use Google images to check if their photo has been taken from someone else’s social media.
2- Carefully check their online dating profile to make sure any physical descriptions on the profile match the photos.
3- Ask conversational questions which require local knowledge. If someone has a story to explain why they can’t answer facts about local bars, restaurants or sports teams, be careful.
4- Put sections of the dating profile into quotes and search for it on Google. Scammers often use the same sentences in fake profiles.
5- Apply caution if someone tries to get you onto a different messaging service quickly. Scammers will try to move the chat away from the dating site, where the conversation can be monitored.
6- Be wary if someone says they’re an engineer, oil worker or in the military, and uses this as excuse why they can’t meet up in person.
7- Never give money to anyone you meet online, no matter how convincing they seem.

SUPER127: Great n there are a ton of new scammers everyday but the real question is...does anybody really meet up from here? Asking for a friend...😉😁 -
Unquenchable: From my experience the answer is 'yes', I know others that could also say 'yes'.

FPhorni: I've met up with 3 so far and hope to meet more in the future. Also watch Grammer in interactions with potential scammers.

ThisSassyLady: Follow your gut not your penis. I’m serious. A lot of times your gut will tell you somethings not right and you need to ask more questions or to walk away. Listen to it -
