Signs to look for: Fake Tinder profiles or bots!
You should understand that when we mention fake Tinder profiles or bots, we are talking about two separate entities and identities and so you must look out for both of them. In order to refrain yourself from giving up important information about yourself to these fake Tinder profiles or bots, you will be guided soon. Just know that it is much easier to find a fake bot on Tinder than a fake account because these ones are run by real humans. Bots can only respond to a certain preprogrammed set of suggestions and comments as well as messages; this makes them easy to spot and you cannot be fooled by them. Fake accounts include people who can think and type a reply faster and answer any of your questions so it can be hard to detect whether they are fake accounts or genuine ones. But they do give off some signals and signs that can help you identify them. These following paragraphs will include signs you can pick on when detecting fake Tinder profiles or bots:
Signs for Fake Bots on Tinder:
If you are an internet literate person and have indulged with an internet bot before that was created by a genuine company or organization, you should not panic about fake bots on Tinder because you will be able to tell which one is which in a second. But many of us have not had the chance to do so, and so the following are some signs you should look for:
- These Tinder bots will have very sexed- up profile pictures. While there is nothing morally wrong with such pictures and many users on Tinder might just show you some skin, but if most pictures or photos on this one account are very revealing and are next to pornography, there is a good chance that you have not been interacting with a real human being at all. You might be interacting with a bot who is made up of stolen identity from online images. So, swipe left on them immediately.
- These Tinder bots will almost always show female pictures as their display pictures. These accounts target men specially (because they are easy to fool?) because Tinder suggests that men are more likely to swipe right one such profiles when compared with women. These bots will also include just a single photo because it is hard to find multiple images of the same person on Google images.
- There will be missing data on their profile once you will swipe right. You can view their profile page and it will look suspicious because they will include poor spelling and broken grammar. They will also have missing information about themselves.
- Tinder fake bots will only make small conversations and you will notice that they will be unable to reply to any deep thought that you might share with them. You will very quickly receive a single message by them no matter what. However, if a fake bot is smart they will wait. These messages will be out of context, regardless.
- They will share URLs with you and ask you to open them such as cam chats and so on. Once you open them, they will introduce malware to your device!
Signs for Fake Tinder profiles:
Now to find out fake accounts, you need to pay close attention and a lot of it when you’re at it. Bots are very simplistic but humans are not and they can easily cover up the faults that they might make. So, it will not be that easy to spot them. Fake accounts are actually run by real humans and they can easily create false information on their profile with good grammar and they do not have missing information in most cases. They steal images from the people in their life as well and they can give you real replies to any questions to you ask or any topic of discussion you pick. They will show you human emotions and easily convince you that they are who say they are in order to conduct catfishing. Now we do not have exact guidelines that you can follow to find out fake accounts since it is hard to deal with entities with a brain of their own. But we can tell you to run their profile pictures through software that show you whether this image exists somewhere as well with a different profile name. You can even ask them to follow you on other social media accounts as well and check their profiles over there too. You can notice that they will hesitate in meeting you and tell you that they live in another country or far way which is impossible since Tinder only finds you people who are near you. They might even ask you to send them pictures of you after they try to gain your trust. So refrain from that. If they tell you that they have fallen in love with you without ever meeting you, do not be naive and do not believe that. You can also interview them and run the information that they give you by people from the same area and share their pictures with your friends to see if they can tell you if this person is fake. Do not give them your account information or any other compromising information as well unless you have met them in real life and confirmed their identity.
Good luck!
