Hello all Masters and Doms,

We have all experienced fakes and scammers. I find that there are a high percentage of new female "slaves" that post over-the-top profiles and use fake photos stolen from various web pages. In my opinion there is only ONE reason that a profile will contain a fake photo, and that is to hook men into a scam of some sort.

How do you know it is a fake photo? Simply save the photo and to a Google image search and you will often find one or more hits from other sites where the photo is listed. I have found many that come from some sort of online photo gallery for models (porn or otherwise).

If we all do this as a regular practice and report the fake profiles as scammers then we will all be helping to keep the site clean and make it harder for these fakes to succeed in whatever scam hey are trying to pull off. It only takes a minute to do this and the more of use who submit reports the quicker these fakes will be removed from the system.

Personally I check any new user profile that has a suspicious photo, but even if you just check the ones that interest you it will help. I used to just ignore them, but it is extremely annoying to see that on average 50% (or more) of new user profiles every day are fake. I know we can't stop it completely and some fakes do not post photos, but I kindly request that we all do what we can for everyone's benefit.

All the best!



I do think the image search is very useful for some reasons. I'm willing to bet the scammer profiles can be picked up without even having to go to the trouble of checking the pictures...so the men who are getting "hooked" into scams deserve what they get if they are so stupid that they think they're getting a nubile attractive woman who is interested in them. Why protect those guys? They're adults, they can spend their time/money however they like. Scammers exist for a reason, someone somewhere is giving them money, I can't help someone that stupid by trying to protect them, it's useless.

I do report scammer profiles along with the ones that break TOS, I don't think it keeps the site "clean"- it's too big for that, but I think it's the right thing to do. New profiles are going to pop up immediately.

Quite honestly OP you're coming into contact with a greater percentage of scam profiles because of the unlikely situation that you are searching for - a young fit attractive slave who is desirable to any man or woman who sees her, and who will relocate to you, a 50 year old that isn't saying if she'd get anything for her future by being with you. So this young attractive fit woman is giving up her youth for nothing in return but being with you. You are scam bait, I'd be shocked if you ever encounter a genuinely interested party within those stated guidelines.

Dammit. She's onta me.



To be frank, though, I have seen many, many more fakes here than on FL or OKC. And many, many more fakes than actual profiles (here).

I think it is also unfair to characterize site users as unlikely if they are female, young, and attractive; I have met several from FL and OKC that were all those things...in fact, my current primary sub is exactly those things, and approached me via FL.


(...okay, to be really, really frank, it took me until we were six posts deep to believe she wasn't a scammer. In fact, my first response to her introduction message started, "Well, in case you aren't actually a Russian algorithm...")

The scammers ask for money, gift cards and so forth. The other side clearly states "DO NOT SEND MONEY!!!"

That doesn't even make them a scammer.
A scammer is someone who says if you pay me x you will get y and does not follow through.

I require payment for sessions a proswitch.
That doesn't make me a scammer.

I also practice financial domination.
Which means my finsubs give me a certain amount of money.
That doesn't make me a scammer.

I also have a wish list, again that doesn't make me a scammer.




I know...I respect what you are doing...I was trying to add some sarcasm in there to prove a point.

Its just that one does tend to be weary of the weekly (or daily) fake postings.

I'm fake, send me tributes. I take chocolate, diamonds, and books as acceptable forms of payment.

Seriously though, I think I have run into more fishy male submissives than anything. Y'know, the ones that claim they just want to serve you if you'll do x, y, z in return. Those are the fun ones.

Oh yeah, descrite. OKC is notorious for fakers and scammers. I can't tell you how many socks I have come across there.

They have to be current...sorry.

I am trying to save up for some dental work...if I hit the lotto, I can yank all the teeth out and get me some cool dentures with fangs...

Apparently I've not been doing the best at seeing the fakes and wanna be doms.
Seriously considering changing my profile to here for the forums and just make friends. It is quite frustrating, but I refuse to allow them to alter my attitude.... For more than 15 minutes anyway. Smiles*

I think what you were trying to say is that you're running into a lot of "fakes" and "wannabe doms". If I have that right then Lizi's post applies to you also.

sweets1966 -> RE: Keeping the site clean of fakes (3/17/2013 9:45:26 AM)

I have to say I don't understand... Is there something about my profile that says I am searching for an unlikely situation?

You're married.
You're unhappy.
You have two preteens.
You don't look like Sofia Vergara.

So you're romantically unavailable, you don't have a bubbly personality, your kids are a major timesink that will always come first, and you aren't arm candy. What, exactly, do you have to offer a man on a kink site, other than a vagina? Your situation is automatically disqualifying the men who want you for more than your holes.

Are you rich?

If not, do at least one of:
1) Get a divorce
2) Find reasons to be excited about life
3) Send the kids to grandma's so you have date nights/play nights
4) Hit the gym
5) Lie.

Then you will be more likely to attract "true" dominant men. Hell, just a better calibre of men in general. Of course, if you engage in (5), they won't stick around very long.....




sexyred1 -> RE: Keeping the site clean of fakes (3/17/2013 2:15:28 PM)

What an idiotic reply. What does her not looking like Sofia Vergara have to do with anything?

I did not see a photo on her profile so how do you know what she looks like?

Are you implying that all women here need to look like Sofia Vergara to get what they want?

You tell her to hit the gym? She does not even express her size on her profile.

@sweets1966
I was referring to the "romantically unavailable" bit. As I understand the situation you are married which is going to skew the people who contact you badly towards those with no honor, aka: "fakes" and "wannabes"... people who will lie to you.

Sorry, what does her not looking like Sofia Vergara have to do with anything?

If she were single, and/or had a great personality, nothing. But if she can't trade in those two forms of currency, looks is another criterion that would cause some men to overlook the first two.

Obviously, it's better to be fun to be around, and emotionally available.

ETA: Why did you edit your comment after two posters quoted it? Be that as it may, perhaps she changed her profile after my post. I don't think you and I saw the same information. I hope you have a great evening.

No Jeff, of course not!! LOL

Lying is never good. I just thought it was highly ridiculous to criticize what she may or may not look like when she has asked what was wrong with her profile.

~FRing it~

Meh, OP...just not enough hours in the day to make worrying about saving others on the Internet a top priority. It's not that I don't care, it's just that I'm not really down for being a net nanny. It's about common sense more than anything else. It's not a crime to exercise it. In fact, I highly encourage it.




LadyRedRoseToo -> RE: Keeping the site clean of fakes (3/17/2013 2:41:17 PM)

i find every "fakes" posting on here amusing, you wonder how these people made it this far in life. they remind me of the ditzy blonde on that insurance commercial, spouting off on how "they can't put anything on the internet if it isn't true!" the man asks "where did you learn that?" she replies "the internet!" duh! makes me want to smack them upside the head and knock some sense into them.

It's not unusual I suppose for people whose expectations
exceed reality to decide reality is somehow unreal or at
least a frightful, terrible bitch.

People who come onto this site thinking it is some sort of
alternative reality, a Willie Wonka dreamworld that is
nothing like the real world are going to be frustrated and
disappointed. Not to mention easy pluckings for those
that might be inclined to exploit their naïveté .




Owner59 -> RE: Keeping the site clean of fakes (3/17/2013 3:47:45 PM)

Making the site so would probably ruin it or make it boring as hell.




Fakes unfortunately,are part of the deal and come with the territory.


Little use in giving them more attention than a delete button click.



.

Though I have met quite a few real and pleasant people here,I use another site to meet people for the old in-out...in-out.

So, those who have an Oompa-Loompa fetish are out of luck here? Damn.

Oompa Loompa, do-ba-dee-doo,
I’ve got another puzzle for you.
Oompa Loompa, do-ba-da-dee,
If you are wise you’ll listen to me.

What do you get when their profile’s fake?
When you fall for a scam only imbeciles make?
Led by your dick, like a horny net geek
Makes you a fool ‘cause your brain is so weak
All your money’s gone now

Oompa Loompa do-ba-dee-da,
Given good manners you will go far.
You will live in happiness too,
Like the oompa loompa do-ba-dee-doo.





Winterapple -> RE: Keeping the site clean of fakes (3/17/2013 6:16:37 PM)

I've seen Oompa Loompa's mucking about offline so
I'd put them in the realm of possibility. Granted, some
of these apparent Oompa Loompa's may just be height
challenged people who've gone overboard with the self
tanners but surely a fetishist could attempt to make do
with them.
