It’s very common these days that people trust dating sites and applications of all kinds to find their other half. It is a lucrative market and in high demand, hence the proliferation of fakes on these platforms. Is this also the case for Lovoo? Find out the answer in this article.
The flaw in Lovoo’s moderation system
A victim of its popularity, Lovoo has been plagued by fakes for a long time now. Fortunately, the site works with special agencies in India to deal with just this kind of case. However, its moderation system is not as reliable as one might believe according to the testimony of one of its former moderators on Reddit. He admits that the platform has accepted the use of photos taken from the Internet by users since the beginning of 2016. These are profile photos from image banks or online search results.
How could this affect users?
This represents a fairly serious problem for users of the app. In fact, these people above all use a photo which could be misleading. In addition to using stolen photos, they could also use a stolen real identity to flirt on Lovoo. Let’s not forget that fakes are the main culprits for scams on this type of platform. Without forgetting the attempted serious crime such as rape.
How to detect a fake profile on Lovoo?
Whether you are on Lovoo or another dating site, know how to recognize a fake profile. To do this, analyze each profile image that contacts you. Study his message carefully to see if it is a generic message that he could send to many others. Also be wary of people who contact you when you have only been registered on the site for a few minutes.
