Rash of Fake accounts


Here we go once again. This time I've noticed that they're occurring in my area when I looked at my home page. Otherwise I probably wouldn't put 2 and 2 together. I'm guessing someone's algorithm that they're using didn't quite get the human touch when mass creating these. Thanks FriendFinder-x for actually<b> catching </font></b>some of these. I know this because in the past few days of monitoring the first ones I've seen, the accounts have already been deleted.

Some of the signs that I've seen:
- usually in the form of FirstnameLastname### and a string of close similar numbering follows. Caps were included. Mine included a Capitalized initial in the middle. Like anyone would use a real name here. (if you are, then my advice, don't, you're only asking for trouble)
- regional, in my city there are tell tale signs that give them away, yet in a "close by" city the fake account is different, but similar too in their area. You can see the flaw, but could easily be overcome.
- one trait in their visible profiles has been their height, I laugh because in my area all these women have been >6'4". , I must be surrounded by a whole tribe of Amazon women wanting to their men by Snoo Snoo (Futurama reference). Not that that wouldn't be a great way go!
- Age did vary, but only slightly, guess they put that in their algorithm (mine varied between 59 and 64)
- The one (and only one) pic on there was totally off. Especially for the age group they chose to target in this particular created batch. Way too professional and perfect.
- The descriptions were good and varied a lot, heck even one of them wanted marriage.

If you haven't guessed me by now, I'm pretty analytic, a hobby of mine. I probably put as much effort into analyzing these as the person on the other end put into programming their software to generate these fake profiles.

Why did I create this blog? Not sure. But FriendFinder-x does have a "Report Abuse" link in their footer if you choose to help out the "real" community. Yes, they have a "Suspected Face account" selection.

UPDATE:
Way to go FriendFinder-x, all of those I've been monitoring have been deleted, guess it does work.
