Outing the fake Fu**s!

Outing the fake Fu**s!

Recently I came across a profile that had ALL the right stuff. It had a short intro line saying all the right things,.. the members' location was less than 10 miles from my home and the profile pictures were absolutely hot. I willingly forked over a chunk of my precious points (I'm not a gold) to become her #1 fan. Eagerly I sent a short message with a polite greeting and inquiry. I received no reply (which I expected.) You roll the dice and see what happens. Sometimes you get lucky .
But the thing was one her pictures just seemed too good. I spent almost 20 years as professional photographer and I know the difference between the standard poorly composed and badly lit "snapshots" you most often see in someones pictures, and those that had a professional behind the camera. It's actually pretty easy to tell... The subject is perfectly posed in a beautiful setting and the lighting is spot on. Those are not the type of pictures you normally get from the regular folks trying to entice a prospect. So I thought I'd just put her profile pictures to the test.
There is a very cool site called Tineye. If you upload a photo it scans the web to see if that image is out there on other sites. You'd be amazed at how many sites one picture may be on. Usually the purloined picture is from some eastern European porn or webcam site.
I recommend using it when you come across profile pictures that are too good to be true. Chances are ....they're not.
Here's my findings after doing a search of nearby member Steffymilf54. Here is her main profile picture
. As you can see, she did edit the face to render it unviewable.
Here is here second picture,..also altered.
.
Now here is what Tineye found on another sites from foreign sources
. Here we can see her face,.. and the fact she's in some hotel room.
And lastly, here's the second picture which is on about a half dozen other sites. I'm not even sure if the faces are of the same woman. She has an ankle tatoo in the second picture, but none in the first.


I did report this use of stolen pictures to the admin here,.. but nothing was done.
My advice if you come across a hot looking guy or gal whose pictures are just toooooo perfect,..Tineye the image. You can use almost any size image for the search. Just right click and "save image", then upload it to Tineye. Save points and dont waste your time on fakes!

The sad thing is the reaction, or lack of it, of the site moderators in stopping the fakes from posting in the first place. 'They' are just not interested, either because they are understaffed, or because they don't have the software, or because they can't be arsed, or because they are being paid by the fakes. I favour the last two arguments.
Let's take the Asian 'market'. These fakes are mostly Chinese. The profiles are common; they have a pattern to their names, so either bots or dumbfucks. I can spot them instantly through the common username pattern yet they appear regularly without any control by this paid-for site. They use fake photos, identified using Tineye.
If AdultFriendFinder had any semblance of customer care they would deal with the problem professionally, by these fakes and scammers have no fear, nor should they. The chances of anything happening is less than nil.

Nice work cumjoose! I'm a photog-wannabe so I TOTALLY get you what you're saying RE: pics being TOO good/probably professional/probably lifted off the internet!

Along these same lines, I wrote a similar blog about using Chrome's "right click" Google Search functionality to possibly help weed-out fake profiles. My first time attempt at providing a link to a blog follows below. If the below link doesn't work, just go to my Blog and look for my "Fake profiles?...." post.

Knowledge is power, spread the word!

Fake profiles Google Search is your best friend

anyone that spends much time watching the activity line will have seen me outting those very types of pics very often. i used to report,but realized the site didnt care.probably because the more profiles-real or fake-the busier it looks.i still out them mainly so folks are aware as to not waste time contacting them..

woop woop

Ever heard of the saying, " if its too good to be true....."

Tsk tsk for allowing the pictures to entice you.

Yet.......hooorah for your investigative skills. Kudos !! ~~

Unless it's a trick of the lighting, I could swear that the bigger picture of "the lady in red" isn't quite all lady.

I'm seeing an Adam's apple under that chin...
