Separating the good, the bad and the delusional

[max_imb]

Looking for further views on how best to separate real profiles from fake ones. After several years using AW I believe I can recognize all the tricks, but I welcome some input from other users.

In general I tend to discard offers that look too good to be true, or where pictures are even slightly suspicious. Overall, I tend to discount profiles that:
- Have only private galleries
- Have few pics and a high priced private gallery
- Have all services ticked
- Have four or fives services ticked
- Hide feedback
- Are written in third-person
- Have no last login date
- Where language is not aligned with profile (age, nationality, etc).

I then I tend to hot list and follow up only on profiles that begin to develop reviews. Any more ideas?

Alas, I am certain the process happens on the providers' side as well

That said, AW has gotten better in spotting fake profiles and getting rid of them. And the verified member feature is one of the best to date.

Great Post!
It's the emails that make me laugh, trying to be english!

I know I'm not a user, which is what you asked for, but I would say blogs are pretty hand and Field Reports.

Also look for regular feedback over a period of time, with some being recent by clients who have good feedback themselves, especially if the feedback is from a gent who has feedback from a lady you have already met and believe to be the real McCoy.

I hope that helps or reinforces what you already believe to be helpful.

We live in a modern age where we rely on modern technology to run our lives...

Take a step back into the 90's, pick up the phone and give the girl a call

It worked so well, you spoke to a real live person and went to meet them

Ok so in London you looked in a phone box and the girl of your dreams did not look like the girl in the photo. AW in its infancy maybe? And the description the maid gave you was not quite as described. but in the "outer" London it was mainly one man bands / service providers themselves that answered the phone relying on local traffic / regulars.

So pick up the phone and call if there is a number, if not move on....

To be honest I think you have it covered
You can always look where they are accessing from

After that its just the luck of the draw

I know a few ladies that he reported on, and they had never meet him

[English Kate]

You mean like me Fred? I have the full compliment of stars on his site and I have had a mention on his blog, but I have never met him. He has tried to meet me on a couple of occassions, but I was too busy.

I'm with Sarah. Nothing beats ringing and speaking to the girl in question. It should give you some idea whether you are likely to hit it off! Plus most girls won't see someone they haven't spoken to first.

By the sounds of it Kate, He meets very few ladies but reports on them anyway, did he try to see you for free
