RE:Flag a fake

Looks like they are using Ai to manipulate images to get verification stamp.Its pointless on here now and they wonder why people wont subscribeThey may have very well used real documentation to certify, but are just using fake (or not of themselves) photos for their profile/gallery photo(s). Disingenuous? yes. Against any site rule? no.I agree your profile photo should be of you or something innocuous like a cartoon character, but that would be impossible to maintain. The easier solution that I've recommended for years is read only unless certified and paid. (and now I'm limiting it to paid. I use say one or the other, but now believe it should be both). I would still allow an exception for longtime members that have shown they are legitimate and provide engage and useful information.John aka cobeachbum

Who have you recommended that solution to, and what was the outcome?

Doesn't surprise me and that's why the only way we are going to improve things is if we start behaving as if this is a community and taking positive action as members of the community, for the good of the community.

This thread, whilst it might be quite cathartic for people to flag fakes doesn't actually achieve that much. How many people are going to trawl through here to check if a user has been flagged before engaging in conversation with them?

When I encountered a fake in the chatroom that was using a porn model's images and pretending that they were their own, I contacted every user that had liked their profile, and/or profile image, or friended them, and made them aware that the images were fake.

Furthermore I politely asked them to remove any likes and unfriend them, so as not to encourage the behaviour.

It was only a matter of days before the fake profile was gone

What that does is it raises awareness amongst those naive users that expect everyone to be who they say they are. Trouble is it takes a bit more effort and community spirit than just adding another item to this thread

Another Certified profile using stolen images.

https://www.truenudists.com/user/BarefootGirlX/

Pics are of a Suicide Girl named Meggie Ray with photos online dating back to 2013 (that I've found). "BarefootGirlX" states her age as 22... so that would imply she was 9 when the photos were taken.

Have you informed all the users that recently liked the profile and/or photos of your findings?

RE:Flag a fake

It is quite interesting. I followed through on one of the fakes. They all have the same script. First they will send an email link. Claiming it easier to chat on there. Then they will offere to come and meet. They need to find the air fare. Then I have found the sheet for the air fare. Could I send it to you so you can tell me its OK. That is the gotcha step to getting your email address. And so it goes. Just flag them.

Jennifer Rob is one of the biggest frauds on this site.
She uses images of Deborah Secco for her profile images. You can see them here:
https://www.instagram.com/dedesecco/?hl=en
She/it uses Deborah Seccos images to present herself as a model and entrepreneur.
Her profile image, stolen from Deborah Secco: https://revistaquem.globo.com/QUEM-News/noticia/2022/03/deborah-secco-curte-ultimo-dia-de-miniferias-com-biquini-estiloso.html

Shes a crypto pusher and completely dishonest.

That's one type of fake, those who are attempting some kind of monetary scam.

There are other types of fake...

The divorced bisexual single mom (its amazing how this demographic isn't reflected in the real world nudist community). There are many of these type. Always try to steer the chat towards their children. Clearly these are perverse males sitting behind these profiles

The male that masquerades as female due to an insecure childhood. He wants to check if other males had the same experiences as him growing up in terms of their sexuality. A nudist platform is an easy target for this. He does this from behind the cover of a female profile. I feel quite sorry for these

Those that obtain images from the internet and claim them to be their own, in order to live out whatever fantasy they have

The bots that are purely computer generated

I'm sure there are more types, but these are the main ones
