Did you know...
I read often here about people who have experienced problems with fake profiles. They could been harassed, trolled, stalked, played, or even stood up.
This post is about something YOU can do to spot a fake, step by step. Apart from the obvious tell tale signs. Things like for example,
Location
Middlesex, Newcastle
or California, New York
Grammar
I like to meet a women who are sexy
or I supposse I woud axcept new frends
Content
I only look for one on one, and gang banging on the interests
or yadda yadda yadda blah blah, incomprehensible jabber
Other stuff
Pics not relating to age
or pics from the net
Wanna be detective? Now you can! Ever thought a profile from someone on here looked suspicious? Asked your gut feelings? See if the profile is dodgy or not by simply, doing the ...internet thingy. Let me explain.
This works! But you have to either be a gold member, or somehow, by spending some points maybe, have access to the profile. All this info was kindly posted on a blog of someone else many years ago. It is not my idea or discovery. I am just passing it on, sharing it again, for those who may be interested.
Part 1
1. View the "suspect" profile
2. Right click on the profile background, somewhere neutral, an empty spot anywhere on the page, and select "view page source" from the drop down box that appears.
3. A new text tab/window will come up, click "Ctrl + F" to get a "search" area in the lower left of the new text tab/window.
4. If you want to search for the IP address, type in "fromip" and click the down arrow. Do not scroll the page down, just the down arrow on the box.
It will look like this: fromip=00.000.000.000
UPDATED: ONLY TYPE THE WORD "FROM", IF YOU STILL WANT TO KNOW THE IP ADDRESS, AND THE RESULT LOOKS LIKE THIS FROM=00.000.000.000 THE LON AND LAT WORK AS MENTIONED BELLOW, THANX.
But, IP addresses can be faked. This place collects GPS data as well, and that can not be faked! Or with great talent and difficulty, like landing on the moon!
The same steps to locate someone's IP address in their profile are used as the steps to locate the GPS only instead of typing in "fromIP" in the search area at the bottom of your screen, you type in "lon" and "lat" respectively.
You will see many lon instances, on it's own or included inside other words, like lon g, or alone. You will also see your own longitude ( you will know it is yours, as it will be near data mentioned on your own profile, as you are currently on the profile page as well ) until you get to the one that looks like this lon=-xx.xxxx , and is different to your own.
Just keep clicking on the down arrow of the search box at the bottom of your page, and you will find it. Don't give up, as there are many instances present, but it is there.
When you do find it, make a note of the numbers.
lat works exactly the same, many instances again where the word is highlighted alone or included inside another word, like temp lat e, but again, keep clicking the down arrow in the search box and you will get to lat=xx.xxxx.
Make a note of this one as well.
Close text tab/window
Part 2
Visit the 3 W's latlong dot net or any similar. Insert profile location ( where the suspect profile says it is located ) in "Place Name" and click find. The Lat and Long numbers will appear just under the "Place Name" on the box.
They should be very near the numbers you wrote down from your search on the text page, if there are big differences on the digits, ( see part 3 ) you have just fished your fake profile, totally on your own!!! Pat your self in the back, and proceed to customer services with evidence on hand!
If you are been harassed, trolled, bothered in any way from different profiles who may be coming from the same place, as in location of the device posting, you can now go to customer services and show them the evidence.
Part 3
Explanation about digits in the figures of lat and long. Have a look to see how much a couple of digits difference could be in actual distance!
Degrees of latitude and longitude can be further subdivided into
minutes and seconds: there are 60 minutes ( ' ) per degree, and 60
seconds (") per minute. For example, a coordinate might be written
65° 32' 15". Degrees can also be expressed as decimals: 65.5375,
degrees and decimal minutes: 65° 32.25', or even degrees, minutes,
and decimal seconds: 65° 32' 15.275".
One degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles, and a minute of
latitude is approximately 1.15 miles. A second of latitude is
approximately 0.02 miles, or just over 100 feet.
One degree of longitude varies in size. At the equator, it is
approximately 69 miles. The size decreases to zero as the meridians
meet at the poles. At a 45 degrees latitude, a degree of longitude is
approximately 49 miles
And I even found a...fake joke!
A Pastor goes to the dentist for a set of false teeth. The first
Sunday after he gets his new teeth, he talks for only eight minutes.
The second Sunday, he talks for only ten minutes. The following
Sunday, he talks for 2 hours and 48 minutes.
The congregation had to mob him to get him down from the pulpit and
they asked him what happened.
The Pastor explains the first Sunday his gums hurt so bad he couldn't
talk for more than 8 minutes. The second Sunday his gums hurt too much
to talk for more than 10 minutes. But, the third Sunday, he put his
wife's' teeth in by mistake and he couldn't shut up...

A very quick reply to you aflower2c, as I am busy....gotta go to xhamster for something.......
As for the other woman using your pictures, you know, as they are your pictures. With this method, others could find out, and see there is something dodgy, even if she is localish.
Unless she stood on your garden, while posting her profile, in which case the lat and long numbers would be almost identical. As for your problem, wish we were local Thanx for popping in and for the comment. Now, gotta go....xhamster!!!!

What bothers me more than fakes are rude people and troublemakers.
If the fake is just here to blog or comment (nicely), then it just doesn't seem to bother me much. . 
Excellent joke!

I hear you goodatpoetry! When they just made the net, they forgot to install the rude/troublemaker filters, so they all got in! I am afraid there is no internet way to eliminate them, just an online slap, of which I am sure you are capable of, even as a polite genuine person that you seem to be. Glad younalways like the jokes. Thanx for coming by and commenting.

Ah, the internet thingy wicked. I am not in any other site, but I suspect this could work on other places, social media and the others! Wish it was me who knew about it on this one! I just heard it and wanted to pass it on. Thanx for coming by and your comment.

You know that if that does work for locating people it also works for people who are trying to locate someone with a real profile for other purposes such as stalking etc.

Correct tickles4us. Unfortunate, but it can work for good or bad. I hope everyone takes measures to protect themselves online. Like for example, I have London, Middlesex, , on my profile. Middlesex is a huge place. It would take a dedicated professional stalker to trace the exact spot. And I am looking for someone to stalk me lol! Thanx for popping by and commenting.

Hi zara. This I do not know yet. I think the GPS is the data ( location ) taken from when profile was created and posted. Check on mine if you like. I first created my profile here, years ago, from some place called Slough. Was at work at the time, and oh so bored! Recently updated my profile from where I currently live, which is about 15-20 miles away from Slough. If you don't want your IP to be matching your existing address, you need to fake it! But that I do not know how to do either lol. I would be a terrible fake . Thanx for the visit and comment.
