Kudos to Affairlook for adding the photo verify. This helps in keeping the fake profiles to a minimum. Please keep vigilant thought, as you know that the spam profiles will find a way around it too.

Be thorough. Look through all of the profile thumbnails. Many fake profiles will have the same same picture for multiple profiles from several different areas. While some of these may be real, most are not.

I've posted a lot of posts on recognizing fake profiles. I'm curious to heat about other peoples' experiences. Have you had run-ins with fake profiles? What are some of your suggestions on what to look for in spotting a fake profile?

More advice on fakes

This bit of advice may already be widely known as its for more of the silver and gold members as standard members can't read the full profiles. And its pretty much common sense to, but take a look at the language they use. Does the picture they have look American, but the stuff they write make it sound like English is their second language? Chances are it is. Many profile say they are from your area, born and raised, but the words they choose and the phrases make it sound like they live in some other country. More than likely, they do and are simply wanting to try and get you to start chatting with them so that eventually they can tell you some sob story and ask you to send them money to help. Stay away from these profiles.

Obvious fakes

Just a hint to mainly the newbies, as I'm sure that this is pretty obvious to those that have been here...any profile that contacts you flirts with you that lives far away and especially if she's much younger than you, don't waste your time.

One of the things I've seen that screams fake are the profiles with the cutesy names like snugglewuggums, or pookiewookie, or something along those same lines. It really surprises me that guys actually don't see that, but it just proves the women right in saying that most men don't even bother to read their profile.READ THE PROFILES!!! Its the best way to discern whether the profile is real or not. It might just allow you to see if you even want to contact them in the first place. Do yourself a favor and read the profiles.

Ok. Here is another monthly blog post. As I stated earlier, I accidentally signed up for a year of gold (only was trying to sign up for three months. LO and since one of the perks of doing that is 6 free months if you post a blog entry every month, here is my latest. This one is pretty simple. If the photo on the profile looks like it was professionally posed, there is a high percentage its fake.
And here is a funny thing that I just saw in looking through who was online near me. I saw, side by side, two profiles that started the exact same..."hello. I am carla fernando...". Different picture, although they could have been the same girl. The only thing that didn't match was one of them said they were 26 and the other said they were 23. Not only that, but one of them talked about them living near me while the other said they lived in Spain. Hmmmm. Keep a sharp eye out people.

Yet another clue

Time for the monthly blog post to keep my bonus going. LOL.
Pay attention to both the city and the miles apart. A lot of times, these just don't match up, cluing you into the possibility of a fake profile. Now don't get me wrong. There ARE some women who travel, or live in two different locations, and thus the difference in city and miles apart, but the vast majority are just fake profiles that don't bother checking through all the facts.

OK. Time for another of my monthly blog posts on clues to fake profiles. Want to help my fellow Affairlook members as well as qualify for my free 6 months membership. LOL
Another clue to a profile being fake is the profile name. I've found that any profile that uses cutsy or even baby talk in their names are definitely fake. For example, Snugglewums or Cuddlemuffin. Come on. Really? LOL. Don't waste your time with these profiles.

Ok. Time for another post for my activity bonus, and hopefully help some of you out there.
I have come to find that profiles with numbers on the end of them (not all, but a great percentage of them) are usually fake profiles. Don't waste your time. If anything, take a closer look at them. I have found that a lot of those usually have other glaring, tell tale signs. Such as their description not matching their picture. Some of them will even say they live somewhere else than they are listed as living.
Again, this is not a definite, but it does provide a good hint and just lets you know to look at the profile with more scrutiny.

Help for newbies on spotting fake profiles

I've been on here for a bit now and have started to see some tell tale signs that a profile is a fake. I'll admit it though, I am still fooled by some. LOL. Anyway, I'll be posting some hints to look for from time to time so that maybe it will help some of you spot more of the fakes early. Now I'm talking about spotting fake female profiles. If any of you women have anything to add about the fake mans profile, please by all means add your comments.
My first bit of advice is to actually READ the profile. You'd be amazed with how many profiles for a 27 year old woman start their introduction with "I'm a 44 year old mother of 2" or something along those line. Just be on the lookout for things that contradict one another. Sometimes they are VERY obvious. Some are not so obvious. But it has become clear to me that whoever is posting these are simply copying someone elses introduction and putting it on someone else's picture. Sometimes the picture doesn't even match the description! LOL
Keep checking back here for more hints in the near future. (Yes, why not get the posts in to help work for the free 6 months membership while hopefully helping some of the other real people on here?)

I've been able to see some of the obvious signs of a fake profile, like information on their info section not matching their description or information in their description not matching their picture, but what are some of the other things that you have found that would indicate that the profile you are looking screams FAKE!?
