Perhaps they don't get the concept..
Maybe they don't speak english..

But free member means...well I guess you can't scam a person that is unable to read your profile,read your email..

And for Christ's sake...if your gonna tag team scam with another dude..atleast get a seperate pic.

Lazy AF

...and stupid too
I'm also on fetish and there is one from "Conway, Ark" that keeps spamming profiles with almost the same pics and profile text., they also are running profiles on alt with the same bs - a couple have popped up in the last day or so, maybe more I haven't checked

Yeah, I received a mail from someone in Germany before Christmas. Usual Dominatrix type mail, well, upto the first line, being standard I can only assume what the rest said

Hello, devotee, Im a Dominatrix looking ......... rest obviously unintelligible.

I blocked her

then a couple days ago, I get a message from another 'Dominatrix'. Same pic, same age, same message content, but this time she apparently lives in Aldershot, Brighton (UK). Aldershots not in Brighton, Brighton isn't a county, its another city/town.

These people are in such a rush to create their fake profiles, they never engage brain, to make it look like its been made by a human being.

Unfortunately, there are still enough naive "It'll never happen to me" types, until these people wise up, these accounts will still be created

I'm curious, do you exclusively use alt on a mobile device? Or do you use it a computer as well?

Does anyone click on the city/state/country in profiles? Generally, if I see that they aren't local, I'll skip their profile, and if there are any pictures or videos, go straight to looking at those.

I have to admit it, some of these fake profiles have some gorgeous women dressed up in the most exciting of ensembles.

I clown on them all the time.....they think just because your Trans...somehow I believe what a total stranger on the internet is telling them the truth. I would say most of them have profile pictures that you can easily trace to the real person. Ive notified several people that someone stole their picture and is using it for scamming purposes. many of those fake profiles suddenly just disappear. I think ALT is not doing a good enough job weeding these asshats out...which is why Im not renewing my gold membership.

You get scammed as soon as you create an account. I got flooded with messages in my inbox from couples welcoming me and I'm not even looking for couples. I I contacted someone who welcomed me through another fetish site saying I got an email from them and they said that they never even noticed me. I'm pretty sure this site is spamming people using profiles of existing members

I just rejoined after a long hiatus, and what a dumpster fire this site has become. Yet to have any interaction that inst fake, but been pretty easy to sniff out the scammers as their profiles are all similar lol. But its almost unusable at this point, wish the developers would try and fix. Not sure how much longer i even want to keep using it to be honest! Glad to hear im far from the only ones. Do we create a group and just start lisitng all the fake accounts we come across? IVe reported a bunch and nothing ever happens!

I think the saddest part is that the SITE, itself, does NOTHING to rectify the problems. You go to the trouble to report these PHONIES, and nothing ever happens to the profiles reported, they just continue to "work it"...

From a legal point of view, its your word against theirs, and the site probably won't pursue it on those grounds. Because at some point the actual arrangement to meet, or online interaction... is not recorded here, so there is no evidence.

I think they 'might' lift a finger if we have a Grindr incident, where someone from Alt, arranges to meet someone and then they do serious harm/kill them. But I doubt it

Grindr, Tinder, POF, predators go where the prey are. I have listened to true crime podcasts about all of them. Including ones about Kik that have originated here/fetlife. Can you really expect a website host to catch a predator when the police can't? That's like expecting home depot to stop selling saws to people who dismember bodies, or rope to people who tie people up without consent. If somebody is doing something illegal they need to be reported to law enforcement, not some random domain host that works from home in a bath robe

Yep met lots in that time period, some still friends now. Found my one. It was short lived as she became ill and passed away a few years later.

I got the same messages from the person claiming first to be from Germany, and then Aldershot, England. And how many kinky single women can be living in Conway, Arkansas? Sadly, someone must be sending money to the scammers, because if no one did, the scammers would give up on this place.

Let me throw in my 2 cents here. I have been on this site before and left because of the abundance of fakes and scammers. Maybe Einstein was right, because i decided to come back hoping things have changed...well, they have not.

As a bit of advice to all...READ PROFILES and IGNORE PICS!!! First, the fakes and scammers post pics of beautiful women who look like they should be in Hollywood or modeling clothes on the runway. But if you take the time to read their profiles, you'll find that the information they post of themselves does not match the pics. Second, a lot of profiles say the exact same thing...word for word. Third, they use terms like "honey" and "dear" when they address you. Fourth, they claim to be sincere, honest and real...bullshit!! Fifth, they will ask immediately to go to one of the various sites to "chat better", but will always refuse to talk on the phone or do video chat saying that their phones don't do that, or it does not work and want you to send them money to fix it. If you see everyday people on the street, EVERYONE does video chatting nowadays!!! Finally, their use of the English language in writing matches that of a grammar school child. Now, i understand that English is not the primary language for everyone, but if you claim to have been raised in the US, you should be able to form complete sentences and proper grammar to some extent.

Sorry for the rant, but this site is not the place to find someone unless you are very fortunate and can find someone real...the odds are not in your favor.

I got one scammer kicked off but reappered again in California now it's New York. One tactic I learned was to contact all her "friends" and warn them. That seemed to work very well.

Well we wont be here long enough to fall for any scams. We have already met a perfect salve, spoken to her twice by e-mail and I have just sent her brother the air fare for her to come live with us..........sorted.
