Does Coffee Meets Bagel Have Fake Profiles? (Get The Facts)

Online dating sites have proved to be hugely popular, attracting millions upon millions of users worldwide. Unfortunately, wherever there is a substantial and willing audience, scammers, con artists, and charlatans can be found. Tinder in particular has become somewhat of a breeding ground for these individuals, but their influence has extended to other apps as well - such as Coffee Meets Bagel (CMB), the subject of today’s post. Fortunately for keen-eyed users who keep their wits about them, these scammers and fake profiles can be identified, and measures can be taken to ensure that they do not do you any harm.

Are there fake profiles on Coffee Meets Bagel?

As we mentioned in our introduction, every major site on the Internet has had its fair share of scammers, bots, and fake profiles - Coffee Meets Bagel is no different. However, the fake profiles you might encounter on CMB are a lot more believable than those you might find on other social networking sites (such as Facebook, Instagram, etc.) This rings true for all dating sites, of course. Profiles on Coffee Meets Bagel feature all the familiar trappings of dating profiles on sites like Tinder and eHarmony. Users fill out a bio (including information fields such as age, weight, height, etc.) and curate a selection of photos to display. While other social networking apps feature a similar structure, the fake profiles you may encounter on CMB seem much more believable. This is mostly due to the nature of the site itself. Being a dating app, success on Coffee Meets Bagel depends entirely on a user’s ability to be his true self (or rather, his ability to convince others that what they are seeing is the user’s true self). This simply is not possible when photos on a profile do not match up or feature different individuals in every iteration. Likewise, for bios, consistency is key to conveying the impression of the “true” self. Dating app users are often much more critical and observant than people give them credit for - they would be able to pick out a shabby fake profile from a mile away. As such, the fake profiles that you may encounter on CMB - or, indeed, any dating app for that matter - are convincing and believable enough so as to fool even experienced users. The danger presented by these fake profiles should immediately be apparent. As such, we strongly advise users to be on the lookout for the tell-tale signs of a fake profile, even if the one they match with seems genuine and believable.

How can you identify fake profiles (scammers) on Coffee Meets Bagel?

For all the effort that they put into curating entirely fictional identities online, scammers are not so intelligent as to go completely undetected. In fact, the tricks that they pull and the tactics they employ are so blatant and unconvincing that even absolute newcomers to the online dating scene will be able to pick them out so long as they come prepared. They go from 0 to 100 in the blink of an eye Though they put plenty of time and effort into creating a convincing online persona, scammers seemingly have no time for idle chit-chat and actually building a rapport with the people they try to con. Typically, the early conversations on Coffee Meets Bagel play a huge part in defining the rest of the relationship. Real users with good instincts will be charming and confident, but overall fairly lighthearted in their approach. This is not the case with scammers. While it is true that some users simply have no fundamental understanding of social acceptability and boundaries, scammers do not simply step over the line - they leap.

Most scammers will attempt to sweep you off your feet with flowery language, showering you with compliments and adoration. And while it is tempting to play along, you should rebuff their awkward attempts at being cute and romantic at all costs. Additionally, scammers simply cannot make do with CMB’s built-in text messaging features. Most users will ask for another’s number quickly, or after a solid rapport has been established. Scammers will do their best to get your number, or to convince you to move to another app like WhatsApp or Kik. This makes it sometimes difficult to tell if they're actually a scammer or not. If you're ever unsure, never give out your personal information. If your gut is telling you something is "off", simply block them and move on. They play on your emotions Scammers seem to base their personalities off of really shoddy romance novel characters. As such, their supposed backstories are contrived and cliched, meant to pull on your heartstrings in order to win you over. A common example of this is that of the “hopeless romantic veteran.” We all respect military men, and we tend to be especially fond of those with a soft heart. However, this backstory is convenient for scammers for another reason: it gives them an excuse as to why they cannot meet in person (more on that in a bit).

Of course, there are other significant examples of this: religion is often used, as well as the archetypal “recent widower” story. While it is easy to feel sympathetic, remember that you cannot trust anyone on the Internet until you have met them in person. Even then, it is better to tread lightly until you really get to know them. Their profiles are engineered to be “perfect” Scammers have no time for nuance. As such, their profiles are often filled with inconsistencies in their photos, and the discrepancies between their bios and their messages are just too big to ignore. For example, you may have come across a profile with photos that seem like they would be better suited to a magazine catalog. While it is possible that this person may actually be a model, most models on dating apps will include non-professional photos in their profile as well.

Source

Source Unfortunately, most guys who look like this on Coffee Meets Bagel really are just too good to be true. Similarly, they may state that they have received various degrees, but the grammar they employ in their messages may not reflect that. They may claim that they are 40 in their profile, but their photos seem to be that of a 20-year-old. Other such examples exist. In general, be on the lookout for any discrepancies whatsoever. They never want to meet up Scammers - by their very nature - will never agree to a meet-up. In order to save face, however, they will often make up a plethora of excuses as to why this is, in accordance with the “character” that they play. In the case of the “military veteran” example we mentioned earlier, a scammer may claim to be stationed overseas, and thus unable to meet up. They may also give other excuses, such as leaving town the next day, or they may even claim that they are in witness protection. Similarly, they may end up ignoring your messages or even ghosting you without a word.

The fact that simply cannot meet up will not stop a scammer from following through with the next thing on our list, however… They will ask for money (or account info) The main prerogative of any scammer is to con people out of their hard-earned money. This is the ultimate purpose of all the charades, the facades, the fake profiles. Scammers have no shame. Even if you have rebuffed all of their advances thus far, they will not hesitate to badger you for your account information or ask for money. Of course, sometimes these cons actually work - but do not let yourself fall prey to these antics.

Take this as a general rule of thumb when navigating the Internet - never, ever give money to anyone you have not met in person. Not only is it a waste of cash, it only serves to goad these scammers on - eventually, but they will also be back begging for more.

How do you report someone on Coffee Meets Bagel?

Needless to say, it is annoying to receive likes from fake profiles. Unfortunately, your local authorities generally will not have any jurisdiction over the internet. Luckily, you can report any suspicious profile you come across with a few taps. - Tap on their profile, or the three dots at the top of your chat with them. - At the bottom of the list of options presented to you, you will see a prompt to unmatch with (block) them. Tap on it. - You will have two options thereafter: “Block and Hide,” which will simply unmatch your profile with theirs and have it not be visible; or “Report and Block.” In this instance, choose the latter option. - You will then be asked to provide a reason for your block. Thereafter, the profile will be blocked and you should never have to worry about them again.

Final Thoughts

Unfortunately, many people fall victim to online scammers every day. Their charades seem to become more elaborate and extensive - but their tactics and their goals never change. With these tips, you should never fall prey to a scammer. If you would like to improve your online dating success, feel free to contact us; we help female users as well.

meine bitch sieht aus wie ein fakeprofil

8 Years Ago Post: Hack Busting Tip:Frequently Video Conference thru Periscope/Instagram /YouTube etc. Stating Your Official Social Media Sites #FakeProfiles #LiveLifeDismissDrama

Ich hatte jahrelang eine Beziehung mit einem fakeprofil. Nichts daran war echt,nichts stimmte, keine Worte waren echt, alle Worte waren Lügen, jede Erzählung wurde qualvoll und schmerzhaft hinterfragt. Immer wieder mit dem Resultat, dass ich ja falsch denke, dass ich dir etwas böses unterstelle und dass mein Bauchgefühl nicht stimmte. Fuck you!

Was denkst du wenn du meine Story anschaust? Das du was findet wo ich über dich Läster? Wäre sowieso der falsche acc und meinetwegen kannste mir auch mir einen Fakeprofil folgen, wirst so oder so nichts sehen.

Story schauen und selbst ihr Profil auf privat machen, das sind mir die besten. Denkest auch du hast irgendeine macht. Aber ganz ehrlich, juckt mich auch alles nicht!

Hat Twitter Fakeprofile bereinigt?

Wundere Dich nicht wenn Du plötzlich rund 60% weniger Follower auf Twitter hast. Das war alles nur Fake...

Es dürfte eine Zweifelhafte Freude gewesen sein und sie war zum Glück auch nur von kurzer Dauer. Offenbar arbeitet doch noch jemand bei Twitter und versucht das Kind wieder aus dem Brunnen zu ziehen. Es waren jede menge Fake Profile die einem plötzlich so gefolgt waren. In der regel leicht zu erkennen, wenn es posierende frauen waren. Ob es anders ist wenn Du eine Frau bist. Das kann ich nicht beantworten ob es auf der anderen Siete auch ein entsprechendes Fakeangebot gab, wenn Du Twitter als Frau bekannt bist. Aber ganz ehrlich. Ist auch völlig egal.

Was zeigt uns das aber eigentlich? Sicher ist es ein Frage was Du mit deinem Twitter Konto eigentlich beabsichtigst. Wenn Du Blogger oder YouTuber bist mag es sein, dass die Zahl der Follower für Dich ja auch relevant ist. Bei den meißten ist es nur eine Zahl. Ob Du nun 3, 30, 300 oder 30.000 Folower hattest, es spielte zuletzt keine Rolle, denn jeder wusste das die Meißten garkeine echten Follower waren.

Für mich persönlich spielt es keine so herausragende Rolle. In erster Linie geht es mir um meinen Blog und da kommt es darauf an wieviele meine Beiträge lesen und die schreibe ich nicht auf Twitter, sondern leite dort maximal einen Link weiter. Da es mir auch nicht um Geld dabei geht, ist es zudem völlig egal. Blogger bin ich nur zum Spaß und wenn der Spaß nicht mehr gegeben ist lass ich es einfach sein. beiträge sind zu unterschiedlich um einen festen Follower-Stamm befriedigen zu können. Da wäre zuvieles, dass einen Einzelnen oder eine Einzelne nicht interessieren dürfte. Kurz um, wer ließt denn heute noch eine Zeitung komplett durch.

Wem es darum geht sich als ziel des Interesses zu definieren, weil man eigentlich nur postet was man heute gegessen hat oder wo man gerade was auch immer macht. Gut, sowas gibt es und das hat auch sicher seinen Kreis, doch dafür dürfte sich Twitter heute auch nicht mehr eignen. Intagram und Co haben da Twitter schon lange den Rang abgelaufen. Und als meine Kinder mir mitteilten, dass Facebook nur was für alte Leute sei, ist mir klar geworden wie schnelllebig diese ganze Sozial Media Sache eigentlichist.

Wie sich das mit Twitter nun weiter entwickelt muss man beobachten. Schaden hat es jedenfalls genommen, auch wenn dort nun einzelne Mitarbeiter hart daran arbeiten es wieder gerade zu biegen.

Guten Tag, werte Leser*innen!

Auf meinem Instagramprofil werde ich weder private Informationen, noch Posts, Bilder, Reels oder sonstige Inhalte veröffentlichen oder teilen. Das Recht zu kommentieren behalte ich mir vor und übe dies nach eigenem Ermessen aus. Ebenso nehme ich keine Freundschaftsanfragen an. Eine Kontaktaufnahme in jeglicher Form lehne ich kategorisch ab. Bots und Hass werden umgehend blockiert, an Instagram gemeldet und bei strafrechtlicher Relevanz an die zuständige Behörde weitergeleitet.

Dieses Profil werde ich ausschließlich zur Information der für mich relevanten Themen, allen voran den tagesaktuellen Nachrichten, nutzen. Die Entscheidung wem, warum, ob und wie lange ich einem Profil folge, liegt allein bei mir.

Sehen Sie deshalb bitte davon ab, mich als Fakeprofil, d.h. als nicht-existente Person zu diffarmieren. Dieses Profil wird durchaus von einer natürlichen Person geführt. Es möchte eben nicht jede*r sein Privatleben öffentlich und für alle Welt sichbar ins Netz stellen.

Achtung! Die veröffentlichten Kommentare spiegeln nur meine persönliche Ansicht und Meinung wider. Niemand soll oder muss sich verpflichtet sehen, diese zu teilen. Ich bitte dies zu beachten! Aufgrund dessen werde ich keine Diskussionen führen, denn Rechenschaft bin ich niemandem schuldig. Einzig und allein Recht und Gesetz, sowie meinen eigenen moralischen Werten bin ich verpflichtet.

Beste Grüße und einen angenehmen Tag wünsche ich Ihnen!

So, I get a lot of friend requests from bots and scammers using fake profiles. Fortunately, I have a pretty good eye for spotting them. But sometimes it feels like they’re not even trying! I mean, “Adelbert Herbert”?!!??? What kind of a name is that????? It sounds like something a five year old British schoolboy would come up with for a homework assignment short story!!! I mean, at least he’s a slightly more handsome example than the usual older-middle-aged bearded white men these fake profiles usually try to “lure me in” with! And okay, Stanford University is almost a believable school for this guy. But his profession is listed as, “Dolphin Drilling As”!! And I mean, what even is that word salad?!!!?? And on the off chance that “Dolphin Drilling As” is somehow a real thing that people do, I’m pretty sure I definitely do not want to know what that is!!! Or anyone who does it!! (Needless to say, I accepted his friend request. And I look forward to becoming Mrs. Adelbert Herbert, just as soon as I can scrape together the $500,000 to pay for the special Panamanian Marriage Certificate he’ll need to make me his wife.....) #rant #scams #bots #fakeprofiles #storyteller #comedian #transwoman https://www.instagram.com/p/CMyX147nnAl/?igshid=tilapncjnz06

Red Flags of Dating Death

Honestly.

Yesterday, I got my first dick pic. This was completely unsolicited, and AFTER I had already told the guy that I was not interested in a dick pic.

I was at work when this lovely message came through and as soon as I saw it, I told him we were absolutely done and that I had already told him no to those types of pics.

And guys out there who are actually nice guys (though I feel like I have yet to find these mystical unicorns in the wild) are going to suffer because no woman who is out there is untouched by a damn unwanted dick pic, which makes them wary of even talking to guys on these apps.

This experience has led me feel the need to post about red flags and why every woman needs to be on the lookout for these assholes.

1. If the guy you are talking to has NO social media except for Kik or Snapchat. With one exception in my experience, this has been a huge red flag.

2. If the guy you are talking with says you should absolutely meet, but then leaves you on read/delivered for DAYS after you have offered a place and time to meet, ghosts you during the day you were supposed to meet, and then texts you three days after that to see how you are.... The man is not interested in you enough to cancel or say he’s changed his mind or that something has come up. YOU. DESERVE. RESPECT. He is NOT respectful of your time or your feelings if he does this.

3. If you tell a guy that you don’t want to sext and you don’t want dick pics, and he blows past these boundaries you have already laid out for him - RUN. This man is here for attention and power, and thinks you are desperate enough to fall to your knees, grateful that he is paying attention to you. FUCK. THAT. You picked the wrong damn bitch this time, buddy!

Also, if you’re going to send me a dick pic (and ONLY IF I ASK YOU TO), FOR THE LOVE OF THE D, DO NOT take a shot while you are sitting on the toilet taking a crap, with your shorts around your ankles and your knee-high socks poking through the top of the shorts. So not sexy or arousing. You just look like a creeper.

4. Watch out for those fake profiles, ladies.

If the photo is absolutely SMOKING hot, or looks like screenshot, or based on your experience is NOT the type who has ever come on to you, he’s probably a scammer or catfish or whatever.

Ask for a “proof of life” photo - a photo of him with a newspaper from today or a piece of paper with his user name and a funny message that includes your name that he holds up, or a video of him saying your name in the message. MAKE. SURE. HE’S. LEGIT.

Guys who are not legit will not respond to these requests and suddenly, YOU’RE GHOSTED because you’ve figured out his ploy.

I am sure there are others, but these are just a few that I have personally experienced in the last few weeks.

Always remember that YOU. DESERVE. RESPECT. Do not let anyone blow past your boundaries and do not let anyone guilt or manipulate you into doing something you are uncomfortable with (sending sexy pics or talking dirty or whatever it is that makes you uncomfortable), especially after only talking to someone for less than 5 minutes. Any decent guy will NOT ask you for these right away and if they do ask you for something like that, they are NOT THE ONE.
