Caution swingers.

16 Oct 2013

We are used to fakes and timewasters. We used to get them here, but we certainly still get them there.
Whilst I don't deny that there are fake profiles out there on any swing site you can get access to for free, I don't actually understand the nature of the OP's grievance with the profiles. I fully understand their frustration with the owners/operators of the site however.
One thing I will say about the other site is that for us it has led to far more successful meets than this one, and even wins hands down in the chatroom stakes. If it wasn't for our free account I wonder whether we would frequent here as often as we don.

Have to agree with the above, far less members on the other sites yet we do get more contacts on the others, right now our best results come from a site with less than 1000 members, here there are nearly 1.5 million.
Personally I put that down to the fact that there are never any cams to appease those that join swingers sites as voyeurs or exhibitionists (not saying its wrong to do that)
The worst site we are members of when it comes to getting meets is has a membership 5 times greater than this one (but it is a worldwide site).
We get our fair share of timewasters but soon spot them, most just mail us and if we are interested we get back to them, but then never hear from them again, no great loss, of our last 26 meets only 1 turned up and they threatened to kill us when we said we would not play with them), it hasn't put us off but it has lowered our expectations of what to hope for when we do find compatible people.
But timewasting and fake profiles are not scams unless you let them be, ie if you give them access to private pictures etc.

Never put something online that may cause you discomfort in later life.

Have just had one of my periodic looks at the other site and more pertinently some of the fake scam supporting profiles. The whole operation has been considerably ramped up in the last year and 3 house parties are being advertised for coming weeks.
The pyramid of fake supporting profiles has increased dramatically with a lot more pictures on them now. I would estimate I have seen at least another 50 linked profiles that I haven't seen before all with familiar trademarks and cross verified by familiar or newly discovered dodgy profiles. The breadth of the planning and organisation is awesome but I'm guessing the money is good!
Like the majority of the profiles now, the parties are advertised to be held in Scotland which was logical after most of the original fake supporting profiles changed to different locations in Scotland.
Beware if you are in a party mood in Scotland for the foreseeable future..

Thought it might be helpful to post an update about this as the party season fast approaches and it looks like all is in place on the other site to clean up again.
The vast majority of the fake supporting profiles are still active and have all been accessed sometime recently with many showing new pictures. A number of new profiles have been set up in the past year to replace the ones that had been removed and all used for fake cross verifications both ways with existing.
Before, the locations of the fake profiles were spread around the country. Now, most have been changed to show a location somewhere in Scotland. This would lead to believe that they are planning to run a scam there. They are smart and would expect they might be looking at changing the front end scam in some way to keep under the radar. But, on the other hand, as they say, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
Would advise all users of the other site to be extra vigilant and, trying to avoid stereotyping, all Scottish users to keep their money in their pockets.

Do you know, I've never even considered this to be an issue. I have regularly used dating sites over the years and I knew that this 'Fake profile' thing was an issue there, But on the swingers sites too? Maybe that's my own naivety I guess. It stands to reason I suppose. Id used dating sites on and off and you can generally detect fake profiles at various points along the way, and if need be, swerve it. But to think this may have been going on on the swinging forums too? God only knows how many hours I've wasted chatting with fake people over the 8+ years I've been online!!
I'm sure though, that most have been genuine, and some I definitely KNOW to be genuine :rascal: But it does make you wonder doesn't it.
Mmmmmm ::undecided:

Am I genuine enough for you innocent

:hump:

There is an argument that anybody who posts in the forum these days has far too much time on their hands Trixie smile

Nevertheless I'm sure there will be members here who are also members of the other site who might be scammed and it is worthwhile putting the information out there just in case they do visit this forum.
