Okay back to the subject for me. Probably a scammer- in profile may leave a profile ? blank if not familiar with words asked- in 1st or if not 2nd message offers email or just phone or asks for yours- flattery gone overboard in 1st few messages- doesn't answer your ?'s- say they work for a diamond drilling or architectural engineering, jobs that takes them to many countries- you ask them how far they are from a town you made up when they give a state and city in USA and they don't answer you- different sites I have been on, many so called men looking for woman start out "Hello Pretty"- no photo or photo so far away you can't really see them or know if you would recognize seeing them on another site.
I am very careful when I have met a new man. Public meet, if both interested, then some phone calls and first date daytime, not sharing email info until actually feeling comfortable with person. If really an interest, check them out where I see address's, any fel ony on record, etc.. It is sad that fake people make it hard to trust for those of us who are real.
Both men and women get scammer or weirdo messages. Know of a lady on POF who met her future mate, she was never seen again. Know a man who thought he was messaging with a women, turned out it was a man! Please all be careful !!!!!!

never EVER send money
google image search is your friend .... as well as others
i on another sight, just had 2 very famous people (i had never seen or knew about) send me emails lol
since i have stopped looking for me better half , it has made it a lot easier for me to weed out the fakes
i dont go by spellen or grammer and i do a lot of that meself <shrug> mainly to weed out the spellen police
i do agree with what someone said before , get a chance to know the person
99.9 % of the time , they bust themselfs
give them enough rope to hang themselfs with
best wishes on your hunt

GregKeegan: Hi people and welcome to my thread.
I know that these sites attract loads of false profiles and people just wanting to hook up even though their profile says different.
What are the triggers that you see that make you suspect a profile to be false from the first connection and how do you differentiate a real profile from all the false ones.
Apply common sense ... if they are unrealistically young (like the Chinese gir profile that I just had mail from ... claims to be 24 and looking 'man 25 to 70' that should ring bells immediately
Is there anything you just don't trust in a profile or when it is told to you that is a auto reject trigger?
Massive emphasis on 'God fearing'
Do you have any key questions that you use for probing if someone is real or not and at what stage in meeting does trust start to form with a online connection?
Sorry mate, but that's a dumb question ... yes, but I sure ain;t going to publish them here where the scammers look for clues ...
I get lots of people that start out seeming to be real and just interested in making a real connection but all to often they end up being cons or wanting money or some other sob story that is supposed to have me feel sorry for them and cough up, not that I do.
That's The Golden Rule here ... anyne ask for money and you just had it confirmed ... so report the matter to Webby ( Site webmaster) and they'll be gone ... their profile removed and every trace of them, mails, posts all wiped away ... many people on here gripe about Webby but they're really onto the scammers! It's in their own best interests after all ...
Is it really possible to meet someone online these days and just know that they are who they say they are or do you hold out in any form of trust till after you have met in person and spent real time with them to evaluate just how genuine they are?
Yer a real optimist Greg ... but you know already that the answer to that is NO, there's no possible way of knowing if a person is 'really into you' when you first meet 'in real life' and you have a lot more cues (clues) when you're face to face ...
How do we prove beyond reasonable doubt that what is told in a profile is real and how do we verify any of it? is it possible?
Mostly you won;t need to, they will give themselves away real quick ... them asking for your offiste email address is a big red flag ... they know that Webby 'has tools' and can track them / their patterns of behaviour / sob stories etc etc ... so, keep all initial conversations 'here' rather than venturing away to email / skype etc . Even if they don;t GET money from you they can still MAKE MONEY selling your contact details and etc to other scammers. I;d say that everyone here should google 'BELGIAN BANK MIND READER' and spend a few minutes looking at the vidoe on YouTube
All these false profiles make it hard for those genuine people, like myself, to make real and meaningful connections because from the start, people are suspicious, including myself, of what the motivations are for their initial connection. How dioes a genuine person make their profile stand out above the rest so that when first read, it shows something other than the norm and have the reader wanting to know more?
Protestations about their own genuineness are also a red flag ...
Your thoughts. Thanks. :)

Great response Hex. :) And yeah, good call on not saying your probing questions on how to pick a suspected false profile or scammer. I should have put more thought into the question in the first place and not even gone there with that one. We don't want to make their cons any easier than they already are considering how many gullible people are out there just waiting to be taken. :/

pat8lanips: Like the saying- if its too good to be true, it probably isnt...
Things to watch for- Studio photograph, Phd or masters degree with spelling mistakes, no children, aged 37, seeking much older men, numbers in their profile name, offering their email address in the first message...

I have no children.. and I make spelling mistakes which I always try to blame on auto incorrect. Aside from the spelling mistakes, I watch for the grammar.
Yesterday, I had a very young lady ask if I wanted to be her sugar daddy.. plus a number in their 30’s wanting a relationship. All from foreign countries. I always have to ask what a woman wants with someone three or four decades older than she is..
Have a great day everyone.

I use similar methods and so far, from my little time spent here, noticed quite big number of fakes. What's their point, really have no clue, but this so called ''social web pages'' are great place for pretending to be something that you're not.
But, it's on us to decide, should we use them or not...simple as that
