Creating a dating profile is pretty easy, fake people download and stock online images and has a fictitious dating profile. So how can honest singles wade through this muck and find their true love?

Profile Photo
You can spot a fake profile from the profile picture. If the user has uploaded only one photo on their profile, it’s a warning sign; probably user has not created a real profile. During your dating search, if you ever meet with such profile and you are developing a doubt, we have an easy way to differentiate fake and real picture. Search the respective image in Google and stay safe from fraudsters.
Quick in Asking Personal Information
It is a red flag if the user is fast in asking your personal information like your personal number or place where you live, etc. Don’t let flirtatious people play with your honest feelings by disclosing your details too early in a relationship.
Empty Sections in Profile
People who are looking for special someone invest a lot of time and effort to make their profile perfect for letting it grab user’s attention. If you are on a profile with many empty sections, it is a sign that a person has rushed while creating a fake profile to reach the messaging part quickly.
Non-Generic Messages
Fake profile users always come up with copy-pasted messages. If the user is not mentioning anything about your profile, photo, interests or anything that doesn’t seem engaging to you, you need to be alert, and it’s time to raise the eyebrow. Move ahead as this profile is not for you.
Invitations or Links of Different Site
Often musicians, singers, actors or other people who have created their personal pages promote their pages by sending links. But dating site is not meant for promotions; it is only to find the love of your life. If someone tempts you to join them and keep sending you links of different sites, they are not interested in initiating any serious relation as they are their only with promotional intentions.
Someone Seems Too Perfect
If someone seems too perfect to you, like very good looking and exactly as per your preference, it’s time to be alert. Non-serious people usually come up with pet lines like you both have the same interests, same political or religious views. Well, the person might be real with his or her feelings, but on a safer side, it would be wise if you test a person before building trust on them.
Dating sites do their best to give a safe environment to their users, but still, some people manage to fool people taking advantage of people who are in search of real love. Sad, but that’s how our world is.
Be your detective and never let people with wrong intentions succeed in their plans.
