Well this one is exactly why we have PV in place..
So this account joined last night and as most of you know, we have a personal account on here too and the account collared us in chat.
Of course, I saw this as a great way to get chatting as I knew pretty much instantly this was a fake account.
Their first post on their profile was "Actually 18 not 22! Hot young couple looking for threesome!"

We deal with these types of accounts, day in day out.
Ultimately of course, members don't see this as we keep it quiet and do it behind the scenes with as little fuss as possible. However, this had to be shown to all to give you an idea.

I've kept a log to show you and what the person actually said about being fake. The fact that "everyone does it" and even though I am banning the account, it will happily go back to other swinging sites under it's false account, to carry on being a catfish/fake.

Have a look at the following;
Untitled-1.png Untitled-2.png Untitled-3.png

I've made typos and misspellings such as your/you're and text speak, all on purpose.
There were many screenshots but I tried to add them in a readable format. Obviously it goes on order.

Really the points here I guess are - keep your wits about you and if the account is not photo verified then please don't give out any details. We cannot be held responsible if you do.
Most of all I think it shows how much goes on but really what gets me is the blasé attitude of the fact they will go back to another well known swinging site and carry on being a dodgy account on there.

We really take your security seriously here and work very hard to ensure that the site is kept safe and as free from these types of accounts as we possibly can.
I think it's important to explain to all, just how prudent we are on here with this.
The account joined again throughout the night but we have systems in place to catch such activity and prevent them from being able to do anything on the site.

As a newbie this sort of thing will just make it more difficult for us to be trusted quickly to make friends with all you great people

I would like to agree but I have had so many accounts on another site in previous years that I left on the basis that men would create one put pics of a woman as their profile and chat to me... no idea what they expected the end game to be exactly... probably that I would turn up and just be like oh well I'm here now might as well suck your little tadpole for ya... such a waste of everyones time!

If you haven't got the balls to be yourself you will never achieve anything online or off it.

I' just glad to be here where I know my contribution is worthwhile :) xxx

I think aside from the obvious, what also got to me was that when I asked why they're asking for *****, they responded with - "I just prefer ***** as at least then you know if the persons real and not fake"
Seriously? There's more fakes on things like Kick (sic - purposefully done) and ***** than what there are on that other site and that is saying something!
This is exactly why we have PV in place. Unlike other sites, where torso's or legs/boobs/bums will do for a PV, we insist on and only on, face pics plus the paper etc. It's the only way.
As I have said many, many times - it doesn't prove anything aside from the fact they are who they say they are, but at least you know who you're speaking with.

On the contrary, it's actually the opposite. Which is why I disagreed.
These accounts are spotted and sniffed out on here very quickly. We work very, very hard in checking accounts and turfing them out. It's also why PV is so important and why people just shouldn't chat to any account that isn't fully PV'd.
If anything, we're making your lives easier on our site and in the lifestyle, by getting rid of these kinds of accounts. :) (y)

Really glad to hear.
Thank you for all you do behind the scenes
You are so welcome Charlie. It helps having great staff who really do work their buns off on here too. It's fair to say, we check each and every single account out and it's massively time consuming, but has to be done my friend. :)

Getting pretty good at spotting the fakes after the time we've been on the sites , and thankfully this is without doubt the best site for weeding them out , any that do join seem to be gone in a few hours .
Keep up the good work @Admin

PV was the best thing you ever did for this site I think (y)
Yes I will agree 100%. We're still feeling the ripple of it quite some time down the road now, but it was without doubt the right thing to do. I know some still object to the idea but there's many other sites they can join if they're not keen on how we do it.... and where they'll get to meet matey boy above ^^.

True they are out quickly... We try to not make a fuss about it either.
Ahh thank you but it's all of us working in the staffing team that do it. @Pearls @meandlis @Therapon @Miss-Sexy-Legs all work tirelessly to help keep the site clean. :) (y)

Thought long and hard about this , what the hell are they trying to achieve, if it's just to see naked people then the Internet is literally full of every conceivable type of pornographic image that might float their boat so what is the point of the time and energy they put into fake profiles??
And as most of these sites are aimed more at making contacts for possible meets then what the hell is the intention if god forbid they do manage to convince somebody to meet them .
Scary

I have no idea why people do this type of stuff but they do. As @Admin has said above we do the best we can to find these accounts and delete them.
Having said that we do have a Safety forum where you can notify Admin if you plan to meet someone. All information is confidential and limited to Admin but if you simply want someone to know when and where you will be this is a good place to let someone know.

It's so nice to hear all the checks you make. When we first joined we were so wary due to the nature of our business. It could all go so wrong so quickly for us!! Thank you for making us aware and feeling more safe and secure. XX

You are so welcome...
I know, without doubt, that adding a PV can be a daunting step to take - especially if working in a professional environment, or public sector etc. But! The image is destroyed immediately (once seen) and that's it. It's gone forever from here.

It's a risky step to take, we know and understand that - but we're here for you and everything is treated with the utmost of confidentiality.
We'd never misuse that data and never out anyone. Additionally, we're governed by the DPA (Data protection act) and soon the General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR. We'd find ourselves in a whole lot of trouble if we ever misused this information - which we'd not do anyway.
So what I am saying is, it's safe, it's quick, it's painless and it adds an extra layer of security on our site for all of us.
It also means we're doing our best to eradicate the troublemakers that this chosen lifestyle so often brings.

It's our pleasure, usually we let most of these situations pass by without people knowing, but @Pearls and I definitely and genuinely felt this needed to be shown to all as an example of what we (staff) deal with on a daily basis here, to get rid of fakes and trouble. :) x

Well spotted and thanks for sharing. Off they pop to the sea of fakes. Tootlepip!

Now, on a super serious note @Admin please don't tell me that @debE is going to recognise "their photo" in guess the user to claim another victory ;)
You're welcome! We thought it was right to share and show this one.
Oh I am sure Queenie will spot them alright! :D ;) x

The welcoming warmth shown by all I have had the pleasure of talking to within the SS group during my so far short time with you shows me I was not wrong in joining your group.
I have felt at home from the first moment I sent my PV for approval.
Thx xx

Yes I completely agree. What was this guys intention? If they met how would he explain away his "wife's" abscence? Was he hoping to get a single female or maybe just the female from a couple all to himself? Was he simply just a pic collector? The mind boggles and I'm glad he was caught out.

I did not know this. It's good to know there is somebody to look out for us if we don't want to tell family members where we are going. Thanks for pointing this out.

You know what, I don't think I know either? I think maybe it is to lift pics of "real swingers" which then get distributed. We've seen so much of that and I have contacted quite a few sites (too many to be honest) with takedown requests for members who have been caught out elsewhere. So maybe that is it... But it's bad isn't it?
Someone not far from where we are, went on a meet last year (not from here) and at the meet, the guy pulled a gun on him as he's homophobic. Thankfully he's now in prison for it... just goes to show really.

This was implemented some time back and is really useful for anyone who may not have a safety net of sorts.

While I'm in here - at all, if you spot someone who you think is fake or a catfish and maybe slipped through our nets (cue pun :D ) then please report the account so we can have a look.

With regards to people coming here to lift pics, I am thinking of changing our watermarking feature.
We currently have a single line of semi-transparent with the site name. This is easily cropped.
So I am thinking of changing this, making the watermark more transparent, but virtually impossible to cut/crop.
