Fake User Awareness Thread

YoungAdventurer is fake. He used photos of a famous twitter gay as his own and wanted my contact info real fast. He blocked me when I called him out on it.
 
Save yourself the trouble and let them sort it out with the mods, it doesn't matter what they say here, what matters is what they say to the mod when questioned. And, just because they get tagged doesn't mean they will ever reply here.

When you do that, tag a mod too. Might be a month before one wanders in here on their own.

I'm always here. Like the ghost of yesterday's dinner, I tend to linger.

Unfortunately it has to happen on our forum, either by a reporter private message or they posted and claimed it. If they took it off-site, that is out of our hands. But they can still be called out ;).
 
Unfortunately fakes and scammers are rife on all social media sites,
I had Paul Hollywood TV chef send me a friend request and asked me to send him £250 so he can reward me with £2500, that made me chuckle at first but in reality it's not funny some people get fooled and this kind of thing makes everyone so cautious and rightfully so that it spoils it for all the genuine people
 
Thank you for the information. I'll keep this in mind, since I really do not know a lot about this community or what to look for to identify fakes, outside of language use and trying too hard to seem compatible. I really don't want to get messed over because of being involved here, personally.

Laughed out loud first. Then yeah it will work on some vulnerable people sadly.

Problem is most people aren't vulnerable (in the context of what you're using as an example, or other things of that nature), that's a select type of individual and one that probably is here, but not in near as great a number as those in the group of people in the context of this thread.

In the context of this thread, those vulnerable people are people who are simply too fucking stupid for their own well being......be that a naturaly occuring ignorance, or because they have their hands on their genitals. The result is the same.

The context of how the word is used matters. BIG difference to being a vulnerable person, in the context you're using the word and being vulnerable to scammers and fakes because a person is fucking stupid.

And, the vast majority of those here on this website who are vulnerable in this context, are that because of their own ignorance, whether that be from genital manipulation or just a severe lack of common sense and an inability to make inteligent decisions for their own best interest.

For instance, the sheer number of people in the personals who are openly advocating meetings for dog sex at the actual house of one party or the other.

AFTER you have met that person face to face, that's maybe not quite so crazy, but for a 1st time meeting, with a complete stranger? THAT is not only dangerous, it's monumentally fucking stupid. Someone in that scenario is walking into a completely blind situation with an almost infinite number of unpleasant outcomes possible.

And the number of users here advocating for that just boggles my mind to be honest. And, not one of those people who's ads I've ever seen in 4 years is vulnerable in the context that you're using.

I've seen literally ONE individual here who was almost certainly challenged in the context you mean, every single other example has been people too stupid to be trusted with their own well being, let alone mine.

You choose your words more carefully! Came in on Monday, made it a "whopping" 4 days on the forum and now you're trying to be a rude, hold me to account and demand an explanation. Who the fuck do you think you are?!
I'm 24, and yes, my grandmother is smart, sorry about yours, but I don't have any fault for her condition! And yes, I continue to insist that for a person to believe that a celebrity is texting them and asking for $250, then they are a complete idiot.

real fun is respond back telling them to just take it from the prize money! or send them monopoly money, or if real creative a bag of gummi dicks

if on phone ask what one of their local animals is the best in bed.
 
I think some vulnerabilities comes from lack of experience and awareness with using social media, internet and contact with strangers. Of course mental issues like cognitive impairment or dementure can strongly affect for vulnerability but isn't only factor tbh.
Some people are just naive and non-experienced. They can make mistake once but they learning quickly.

I don't want to argue I apologise. We have different definition of vulnerability. Not sure how you thought I blamed you for someone's condition or how it was relevant. Little confusing. But let's be friends.

Hope you retain your cognitive abilities forever. Wish you the best

I have spent time on similar forums majority of your life but I know when it goes nowhere. Let's just be friends

Gen z don't get it. is what it is. They are also the only generation unaffected by ageing deteriation haven't you heard. Smart till they die. 💁because I'm new on forum I don't have a voice though. So can't say much even if life experience is trible. Funny how internet works these days

Just do as the other boomers that try to keep up on the web, learn the words and phrases that have different meanings, and you'll be fine.
Google is your friend.

Hey guys,

So I've had a couple responses to my ads in the meet up section now, that have been fakes looking to speak to me, get to know me / meet me for whatever reason, but it is not because they are genuine owners. They are blatantly fake. I've just had another contact me today who conveniently owns one of each animal that I've been specifically requesting in the meet up section (I'm a girl), and who is also conveniently the same heritage me, which I've posted in a couple discussions on this forum where it comes up in topic, they're also a Lurker... go figure. So I think starting a thread where we can all post the usernames of fake or very suspicious accounts on here would be a good safety measure, if anyone has been contacted by someone & they're unsure of them, they can check this thread to see if anyone has any trouble with them or not. Two accounts I can confidently say are fake are K9Taboo and esmee._x . I simply don't respond to them.
