Another one cropped up today... the same, easily identifiable written style and self statements.

This guy is a nuisance, steals some random photos and comes on here catfishing everyone... just be aware! There'll no doubt be an elaborate forum post soon anyway where there's going to be a huge party or photoshoot etc that we're all invited to with all expenses paid

Agreed.

As far as ripping pictures off other legitimate user's profiles, I've already reported some of these to MessMaster to investigate.

Yeah, he's back again. The biggest clues are the really weird grammar and basically the same description every time 6 ft gay footballer, into mud, part time model...suuuuuure.

You've got it spot on

Working on the "too good to be true" rule is generally a good idea.

All of the above, including that they often try to get you to go off line - and give them your e-mail address.

A quick look at recently joined male profiles and it kinda sticks out doesn't it

Deactivated

Your guess is as good as mine when it comes to the goals of people like this, Male or Female, other than some monetary gains.

Sadly, it's fake profiles like those, that make people sceptical in the first place about interacting with others on the internet.

There is no point that I can think of... especially when the person has minor traits that are quite identifiable!

'I not a fucking fake'
Bitch, please.

I could be anyone.......the mysteries are endless lol (in all seriousness I don't have a pic of myself posted due to the fear of getting recognized or outed by a co-worker or someone else I may know.

Their goal is to get people like me, low in self confidence and frankly lonely (rather than Alone) to bite - which I do... and then make me feel shitty cos my actual social skills, despite being 40 and ya kno, in a good job n all, are the same as those of a gnat.

Then I overcompensate and scare people off.

Still doesn't stop me tho....

Called him out on Recon and I've either been blocked or he's deleted his account.

There was another new profile on Recon using pics of someone I follow on Instagram outside of the fetish scene. The profile description bore little resemblance to the guy who's pics he'd stolen so knew straight away it was fake

I'be just had the same thing happen but with a different user name. Not sure if it was the same guy. Really wanted to come on the show, but as soon as you start quizzing as to when they might be available, they go silent and then delete their profile

Ah well, thats life I guess!
