How To Spot Free Dating Sites With Fake Profiles

The biggest problem with both free and paid dating sites is members with fake profiles. While these fake profiles are often listed by spammers and scammers, in many cases the administrator of the website actually added these fake profiles to get people to join their dating site.

The easiest way to tell if a dating website has fake profiles is to look at the profiles of all its members. If most of the profiles have no images or model-type images of very attractive people there's a good chance that these profiles are fake. Another thing you should look at is the information in the profiles that are listed. Many administrators that create fake profiles do this very quickly and with very little thought. Therefore, most fake profiles have information that is poorly written or doesn't make much sense.

Another easy way to tell if a dating site has fake profiles is to actually join the website and to contact other members. Try contacting about 10 members you find interesting and see if you get a response. If not one of those members contacts you back they probably aren't real members. On the other hand, if nobody initially contacts you then you're probably dealing with a dating site that's a virtual ghost town.

Many of the administrators of free dating sites will often find a way to add thousands of members to their dating site with very little effort. This list is often used by several dating site administrators which is why some dating sites have the exact same members with the same information. If a dating site claims to have thousands of members the first thing you should do is visit a website called Alexa.com and to check the dating site's ranking. Most dating websites that have thousands of members usually have an Alexa ranking of under 1,000,000. If their dating site has over this number then their number count is probably completely false.
