Explaining 'SPAM-SCAM' Fake/Scam profiles ... OR, How Good/Bad Is Your Short-Term Memory?
Explaining 'SPAM-SCAM' Fake/Scam profiles ... OR, How Good/Bad Is Your Short-Term Memory? . Several times over the past few years I've received emails from Gentlemen on this site, first thanking me for making them aware of the various types of scammers that infest this site, but also asking me what "SPAM-SCAM" fake/scam profiles are. As I went through the Newest Members (ALL women between 18 and 99 years of age, from ANYWHERE in the world) that have been posted in the past 24 hours, I noticed that today would be a good time to expand on this explanation as an addition to the other Blog posts I've written, or should I just call it: For the past several months I've noticed a decrease in SPAM-SCAM profiles to the point that the "Aubrey" SPAM-SCAM fake/scam profiles were the only ones showing up with any consistency. In case you missed them, there would only be a few each day with pictures of the same woman (often they were posted with DIFFERENT pictures of the SAME woman), but always containing the same profile Introduction or Headline wording to include the name "Aubrey". ALL of them used different geographical locations in Canada, the UK, Australia, or the USA, but their retardate redundancy each day became so recognizable that I stopped seeing comments under their pictures from those men who were obviously either newbies to the site or so horny they couldn't recognize a fake/scam profile if their life and/or wallet depended on it! Today's lesson, boys and girls, brought back to mind that there will ALWAYS be "Aubrey-like" fake/scam profiles with us on this site! The following are spot-on examples of SPAM-SCAM profiles inasmuch as they all follow the same moronic pattern. 1. They ALL use basically the same name with numbers afterwards 2. They ALL use pictures of the same woman, some are ALL the same picture and others are different poses, but still of the same woman. 3. The ALL use the same wording in their profile Introductions or Headlines. 4. The ages are ALL the same, or a year or two apart. 5. They ALL are from different geographical locations. *** Although most of these profiles are usually ALL 'lumped' together on the same search page of Newest Members, some of them are spread out. Where these scammers get these pictures from is beyond the search capabilities of Google search for image or TinEye, but if I was to guess, I'd say that one possibility is that these pictures are of ex-girlfirends/wives that some sick individuals somehow see as a sort of personal revenge! The main reason I thought to add this post today, is, like I said, I haven't seen many of them in the past few months, but also to hopefully educate a few of those men that left their 'newbie/horny' comments under their profile pictures on some of them today! . |

Thank you, very good explanation. Other signs for a fake profile are - the location looks strange (wrong state or region for the city) - you are asked to visit other websites or provide credit card details for "verification" - the picture doesn't fit with the profile description

"Where these scammers get these pictures from is beyond the search capabilities of Google search for image or TinEye" My go-to for sc/sp/ammer-hunting as well. Those pics don't register as they've gotten wise to image lookup detection. Same question ? Where do the pics originate ? Several theories: 1. Created from scratch for just this purpose by Russian 'porn mills' or something similar 2. 'Borrowed' from FB, Igram et al which makes them hard to trace and because people just love to post selfies so there's a huge volume of pics ripe for harvesting.

Good post, thanks. I assume (yes that word) every profile is fake to some degree till I know otherwise.

Thank you. We have been getting lots of them showing up in Ireland. They stick out like a sore thumb.

I had the "Sandra"s commenting on my photos recently, three of them with the same demographics you mention.... I guess their algorithm is a little off... but then again, all three profiles were already removed by the time I went to look.

With A.I. [Artificial Intelligence] software , faces can be created....they're not actual people who exist anywhere.

Yeah...I just had a Nigerian scammer on here...I knew right away though as "she" claimed to live 2 towns over but yet had an LA phone number....
