While fake profiles are quite prevalent here so are profiles of "singles" who may in fact not be and of "women" who are actually men looking to have their appetite for naked flesh picture sated. There needs to be an "I'll be single for the hour or so I sleep with you, but as soon as I'm home with the wife things change" selection in the relationship status drop bar or an "ok so I'm a girl when I'm using the computer to converse with you because your profile clearly states you're a bi female and I'm more likely to get you to unlock your private gallery if I'm a girl too......even if my penis is seven inches" Two ways we have managed to weed out the fakes..... A) Facebook - those who say they don't have it are hiding something (yes we understand that some people just don't want to allow others into their private lives but we don't generally add people, we just look.) and those "females" with a very small number of friends on their page and majority of those friends also being female.....hmmmmm. Surnames are also a big tell, for example if your friend list does not share at least one person with the same last name as you, you either have no family or you're a fake. B) Skype - thinking that sexy female is too good to be true.....Skype her! If she says she doesn't have it it's not hard to download. No webcam?...there's an app for smart phones. No smart phone?.....fake.

how many illiterates and cbf types can there be? if they advertiser cannot describe themselves, their interests or experiences but instead have something made of the same 5 default lines/comments and the profile is big n the "please ask" then we think "fake" or at best "illiterate" or "lazy" none of which appeal so move on... also increasingly tired of the single woman looking for couples profiles and then when you make contact they say "i only play with my partner"", does that count as fake too? P&n

Although I have a small handful of friends.. I constantly delete them.. I refuse to accept validation a even tho I have had many come through... I chose not to have them for a reason.... So don't take that as a sign if a fake profile... Because on te other end of the scale, I get friend requests from people who havnt even spoke to me or even flirted! Are these people just competing for the highest number?? Why request to be on the friends list without soeakingbtonthat person first? - Posted from rhpmobile

Some of us really don't have Facebook. Truly. I know its a big shock. Its just some of us do prefer to have real friends... you know, the ones you see in person

Coops, but you're verified though, that makes a difference. Also, you have a lot of pics of yourself in which you clearly are the same person. I've seen plenty of profiles (both male and female) where different people were used. I remember one guy being two different ethnicities, go figure. Btw, I received a flirt from guy this morning who'd stolen his pic from an underwear catalogue. I just had to send a message to wish him "Good luck with that."

I find it to be a huge invasion of privacy, essentially removing any anonymity & removes my choice to reveal my identity at my discretion to whom I choose to engage with. I no longer have a face pic for public viewing and will not provide immediate access to view my PG's in light of what I see as a misuse of available technology. It has nothing to do with fear of recognition from friends, family and/or colleagues (it is no secret that I'm on here) or having anything to loose in that regard ... but everything to do with my right to privacy in terms of remaining anonymous until I see fit fit to reveal my identity. Should someone feel the need to go down that route once I've given access to my pics ... that's OK ... by the time I've given access ... I've already given my name.

Just don't upload pics of yourself that are found on other public sites all over the net? (Though if they're on Facebook they won't show). I must admit, I've never thought about that. I've only ever used it to verify members are not actually Turkish singers, American volleyball players or other celebrities. And LBW, though I have Facebook, you'll never get my last name until I know you exceptionally well. I value my privacy.

IME RHP has far less than other sites, but on those other sites it's easy to spot as they usually scam quickly, wanting you to click on a link to rate something, or email them at a yahoo or hotmail account. Here I'm cautious when there are lots of ask me responses. I mean selecting an option from a drop down list is too easy and what reason would someone have for not doing that for say eye and hair colour other than being overly secretive or fake, not interested in either. Template sentences in the about me section fall into a similar category, it's not hard to make an effort to be unique/yourself.

-verified profile. It takes like 5 mins to get verified,it isn't hard. -a profile text which is more then 3 of the default profile texts. How many times do we read "other people say I'm attractive" "I like a coffee" "going shopping" and that's it. - Posted from rhpmobile

should be varified by Red Hot Pie.This doesn't mean you show your face on your profile however RHP knows its you. RHP takes our money why not ask us for a true photo? Ok it will take fewer members at first however word of mouth RHP is the best would get around.I mean Jesus fucking Christ why cant they recognize the scammers?

I would never give anyone my real FB account to look at. Why on earth would I? Also those reverse searches on pictures still have to have your picture in their database in order to match. However I don't know enough about it and to be safe I wouldn't use the same picture on everyday sites and RHP. But that is the future isn't it... Take a picture of someone with your smart phone then search the net for them. :(

Also those reverse searches on pictures still have to have your picture in their database in order to match. Just realised a poster has the some profile picture here and on Facebook. I did a search on the pic used here, to make sure their Fb page wouldn't show up in the search results. Glad to say it didn't.

I think it would be naive to think that that does not happen, however, if I was to learn that somebody shared my pics without my consent, I would most definitely view it as a lack of discretion on their part and it would an instant irreparable broken trust issue.

OP you did well to bring the "fake" subject up, however some of your checks and balances will not guarantee a profile is genuine.Friends and verification check in your opinion would make us potentially fake, as we have none.We agree that most on here are false in some way ,,,, being what they seek and the backing to go after that.Also, we've seen that many, many more that are also are also false, albeit real people, but using their online personality that in no way matches their real life persona.As oldtimers involved in the scene, we just put on gumboots and wade through it, at times waders are needed.

We have to make comment that we don't totally agree with what you're saying... Everyone's experiences in this lifestyle are of course different.. 1.. Agree 2.. We're not out there to drum up as many friends in the lifestyle as we have on FB. It's about quality to us, not quantity 3.. Absolutely don't agree that you "right click us" and google it. Why not try sending a message, and if we like you, we will definitely hand out our "haughty number" so you can speak with the both of us. 4.. We have never had an issue with our identity being shown, nor if anyone we work with, friends, friends of friends, family and so on recognise us on a swingers site.. What are they doing on here anyway?

We only meet at official events. Thats it. Too hard? Too bad.

I don't have any face pics displayed in my public album, nor do I have any friends on my Friends List, neither a validation. So I guess that makes me a fake profile lol However, I have attended a couple of RHP social outings, met some lovely RHP members face to face, hence I am a real person! Just not a unicorn, that's all :-) - Posted from rhpmobile

Fake profiles? (A) is always a good option, also lack of imagination. Some people are time poor or just joined and have not validated. Im so sure I have seen a paid member who I would say is very fake. Though a good idea with the goggle image search option, but could not really bother and have this site like FB govern my life. Apart from the fake profiles, a clean up should be on also people who have numerous profiles...leaches! and WTF for.

I guess one needs to establish why someone would put up a fake profile and what they hope to gain from it? More than often it's an attempt to be granted access to those elusive private albums. We get dozens of messages from couples and single women where within the first message and even the first few lines, they ask us to open our private photos. That for us, is a sure sign that they are photo hunters. Another sign of a fake, or at least someone who is too lazy to make an effort, are those who use the generic templates when filling on their profile wording. The best way to smoke them out is to ask them to verify their account as a first step before one opens the prized private photos. The next step would be a request for them to wave to one on webcam. If one successfully got through those two steps the last step in the process would be a phone call to chat with them both, if they are a couple. Collecting friends and validations does not mean one is a real profile. Plenty fakes do exactly that so as to appear genuine. We get dozens of friend requests daily, and the odd validation here and there, from people we have never met nor chatted to. Of course if we were fake we could also register several other free fake profiles , make friends with them and then even get them to validate us!! So for those of you reading this thread who are not VERIFIED , why are you not verified? What is your excuse ? Fake ? - Posted from rhpmobile

I won't accept friends or validations. I did intitially but found they were more trouble than they were worth when people started contacting me about those persons and offering their opinions on my choices. Last time I checked nothing about me was fake either except the streaks in my hair and the cap on my my top 2nd left incisor 😉 - Posted from rhpmobile

The post was not to have a go at all the real and genuine people out there..... nor was it to encourage snooping the internet for stuff on members. And you are right just because you lack friends or validations, does not mean that you are not real! I would never give out my fb account nor would a search bring up my photo plastered all over the web. The post was meant to help people, to encourage caution and to protect. Things aren't always as they seem as we discovered this week : (

Fake profiles VS misleading profiles. So when Ask me is listed for 50% of their profiles and all the rest is cut and pasted. Shows lack of creativity....maybe they do not want to stand out for a reason. I have Skype....not interested in using it because then I am expected to have webcam sex....no seriously if I wanted that I would have ticked that box. I have attended a few parties and have met some very nice people and some utter twats. Some profiles I checked out after I meet them (normally single guys) and find that things are totally fabricated and over exaggerated. Then the ones caught out giving fake names.....man grow up. Emails that give away that you are going by more than one name (I am guilty of that one, because I am not how to change it on parts of my account) but the accounts that give one name then on email there is another and then the name on photos shared there is another name again....weird for a guy.... Validations are not important neither are long friends lists. But verification is a must. I have had guys annoying me after I say no then block if they persist but then abuse me from another profile for blocking them????? It helps to weed out multiple profiles. - Posted from rhpmobile

Quoting 'LittleBitWeird'Surnames are also a big tell, for example if your friend list does not share at least one person with the same last name as you, you either have no family or you're a fake. B) Skype - thinking that sexy female is too good to be true.....Skype her! If she says she doesn't have it it's not hard to download. No webcam?...there's an app for smart phones. Well I wouldn't pass your criteria for being real. In regards to the surname thing, I assume you're referring to fb. That means that you're first assuming the person is actually using their real name on their fb account. And nope, on my friend list there is nobody else with the same last name. The only other family I have with my last name are my parents, and neither of them are on fb, so I guess by your reasoning that means I'm fake. I also don't use skype and no I'm not going to download it for you, or anyone else. I'll download it if I want to start using it. Same with a mobile phone webcam. Guess I miss out, oh well.

What interests me is those people who feel the need to track people's pics on the Internet . Haven't you got anything more worthwhile to spend your time on ? My pics are all me . I have face pics in my Public Gallery so people can make a quick decision as to whether they're attracted to me or not (it saves all the fucking around). I don't care if you can track me by my pics . Fake Profiles are good filler for these kind of Sites . They increase the apparent overall number of users . What bothers me is people who create fake Profiles so they can stir shit anonymously . And also a mention for people who create a fake gender Profile so they can read Secret Men's/Women's Business . Really ??? So much Cloak & Dagger bullshit . Obviously not here to meet people , so why bother ? So much Negative Energy put into something so meaningless ;( GG♒️ - Posted from rhpmobile

Thanks to RHP, I've found out I'm not a real man 'cause I don't watch chick flicks and now I find out my profile is fake 'cause I've never 'skyped' (?) or ever opened a facebook account. Holy snappin' duck shit! How long have I been this artificial???

I just finished replying to another topic, re: looking at others profiles.. I said it there , and I'll say it here. I wait to be contacted instead of being the contractor. WHY ? Because I'm over trying to guess who's real and who's not... I figure if they contact me, there's a 50/50 chance they are for real... Validations ? I've never read one that seems all that sincere. Friends ? I don't call accepting anyone and everyone a friend... In my opinion , it is and always will be a numbers game. In between waiting and finding the real thing here.. It's the real world for me......

It might seem a bit weird but I hide pretty much everything where possible because from the industry I work in I know what can happen when you potentially expose yourself (oohh beehaaaave) in your profile and online conversations. I like having my private and public life very separate, maybe its part of the thrill of participating in what are normally Taboo activities or maybe I just like things the way they are. Certainly I have a number of friends on here that I don't add as friends and a great many more in the real world and I'm just happy keeping it this way. I just call people or let them call me whatever works This site is not so much a problem which Is why I like it but unless you're completely OK with being identified publicly you run the risk of being held to ransom i.e $$$ by a party that has identified who you really are - its very real. Once they have a social media link your in big trouble. Then there's always the usual bunch of seemingly harmless weirdo picture collectors but what do they do with your images swap them amongst their mates or whatever who knows ?? A typical fake will attempt to lure you off site as everyone mentions above but it could just as easily occur here and they will use a mail provider that doesn't forward the original senders IP address in the email header, Google doesn't do this for example. Its easy to trace who they are if you have this though. They'll also delete the EXIF image data from pictures and so on and they'll look at yours. Same goes for phone numbers try googling your own number ...... I could keep going but its probably best left to a drunken rant at the next RHP drinks or the upcoming Big Penis thread in April :) And I'll validate

I just take people as they come. If their profile has the standard text or heaps of ask me then they need to put more effort in and I will chat with them if and when they do. If they hit me straight up for gallery, the answer is no, message with me first. If they hit me up to leave the site ie go to text or email straight away, I tell them to slow down and stay here This I have found for me weeds out quite a few. Even if they are real and get narky with it, my body my rules buddy, don't like it you are free to move on. I keep my RHP world and my real world very separate so I wont put my face on my public profile. No way would I let you near my surname or face book account either But on the other hand we have been slack, neither my acct, my husband's acct and our couple acct has been verified...it is on my to do list, we just haven't done it I really wish I could come up with a good reason but there isn't any...We are just slack

Lets be real and make an assumption that there is numerous fake profiles on this site... :( Remember in the past Jetspace which is RHP has been caught out creating fake or bogus/dodgy profiles - google it if you don't believe as it was broad cast in main stream media a few years prior

Received an unsolicited message from a new female member, 24, Brisbane just on Friday. Appeared to be a generic message e.g. 'when are you free to have fun etc'. Was a paid account, one or two levels above the minimum. Photo appeared to be a very slickly styled/magazine style photo, that was the second factor that made me question its validity. It appeared the profile never logged on again after sending the messages. Come Saturday, the profile has disappeared. Interestingly, the profile had the green tick of verification.
