I Hate Fake Profiles

So I've been talking to Belinda2016. I was chatting with her on Skype and the video does not match anything she's doing. Now I have satellite Internet. So I'm very familiar when videos become pixelated. But her video was crystal clear, and no audio. Then the person on Skype seemed to be having a different conversation. So I said wave to me. 10 minutes and the person was fixing their hair and talking to someone. But her reactions didn't look like someone seeing if the person they were talking to could hear them. And when Belinda2016 typed, the person didn't move.

I am really, really against complaining about other users by name on here. Why don't you simply describe this situation without mentioning the person's username?

Yeah but it annoyed me. And it's not right for that person to use someone else's pic.

Cinnamon · 31-35, F

I am sure you have also annoyed people on here.

And there could be all kinds of reasons for using someone else's pic; some people need to protect their real identity, for example.

If you read the whole post, that person was using a video recording on Skype. Not just a pic. I don't mind people trying to protect their privacy but isn't hypocritical to do so at the expense of someone else's privacy.

If she's a scammer..we have to expose so not to let it happen here.. or if you are not against it your probably consenting scam :)

@jadenightbird: What exactly do you mean by "scamming" on an anonymous site where nobody is using their actual name, and many people are changing details about themselves?

Sepia · 36-40, F

@SweetCocoa: I said "probably" lol scamming is not limited to fake names & pictures dear..and even using someone else's picture "stolen picture" is another thing :)

@jadenightbird: There definitely are people who try to fool others in a destructive way. But not everyone using a picture that isn't their own is in that category. In this story, the person with the video might have assumed it was obvious that the video was of someone else -- as indeed it was.
