How do you spot scammers, catfishes and larping time wasters on here before they waste your time?Keyword, before, they waste my time. Before.You think you've met a real woman, and you talk to them for a couple hours, thinking you've made a connection, then they refuse to meet in real life or get offended when you ask to video call them.
learn how to differentiate male and female writingkeep asking questions, then reask them later to see if they say anything different
>>33631131If they don't post a city so you can meet local90% they are a scammer or catfish.
>>33631133Is that how you catch AI bots as well? Cause I swear I have one that's been trying to talk to me for a while now.
>>33631137for bots, spending some time with chatgpt will clue you in on their speech patterns and habits
>>33631131>a couple hours>trying to meetupnigga you barely know them calm down
>>33631131Though i understand what youre trying to say i would be worried if someone i met on 4chin wanted to video call me or meet up with me... thats just creepy man
>>33631131You develop a spidey sense for them after you have been catfished enough times. Some red flags are:>overly friendly to an unreasonable extent (wanting to rush you into a relationship)>"suspicious" Discord profile>sends picture before you even request it, wants yours immediately after, showers you with praise as if you were a 10/10 chad>picture is of an 8/10+ girl (let's be real, no 8/10 of any gender is trying to meet people on /soc/)>will never VC, will always give unreasonable excuses>their "life story" is not consistent/doesn't make sense
>>33631306Also, forgot to add:>is talking to you on kik100% chance it's some fat dude.
>>33631203That's what dating is for... to get to know someone, in person. Talking online is meaningless. Anyone can say anything they want online. OP isn't looking for a penpal. You could be talking to someone for months, and the entire time they were just a fat hairy man pretending to be a woman, the whole fucking time.You don't think scammers are prepared to play the long game with you? They can keep up a fake persona for weeks, even months, if it means they can gain your trust enough for you to send them money without even questioning it.And the fear of meeting them is stupid. You can just meet in a public place, like a library, or a starbucks for some coffee or something.>>33631241Refusing to video call makes you look like a catfishing scammer. It's not that hard to understand.
>>33631314Nobody is going to videocall a random stranger after an hour of texting, nigger. I wouldn't do it and I'm a man.
>>33631320Then you're wasting everyone's time and OP should just skip you and move on to the next person.
>>33631131Anyone:18/f/?>I wont share pics or vids>"I WONT VERIFY"Check the archives for usernameAnyone that asks for moneyAnyone who is to easy to get along withAnyone who will accept your advances despite >Not looking for NSFW or lewds>chicknAnyone who's name your recognise for any reasonPeople who put little to no effort into their postsPeople who post pics with small amounts of text (GOOGLE SEARCH IMAGES)
>>33631431Had to break up the post cause they thought it was spam.Anyone who uses kikAnyone who uses telegramAnyone who uses telegardAnyone who uses twitter is likely just farmingAnyone who uses snapchat is a paywhoreIf someone is "local" to you ask where they want to meet. Give a sweeping area to where you want to meet but be super specific too. If they dont know the area then they arent a localAnyone who compliments poor or ugly dick pics is usually a pic collectorAnyone who asks for pics right away is a pic collector
>>33631431>>33631435>they won't verify by sending you pics = bad>they ask you for pics of yourself = badconflicting information
>>33631446>they won't verify by sending you pics = badCatfish>they ask you for pics of yourself = badPic collector
>>33631449yes but it's a double standard. how come it's okay for you to ask them for pics,but if they ask you for pics, they're a pic collector?shouldn't the scrutiny go both ways?
>>33631455Sorry to clarify if they ask for pics within say the first 20 messages or some shit thats really quick to ask for a pic they are just pic collecting
>>33631458ah ok makes sense
>>33631131>How do you spot scammers, catfishes and larping time wasters on here before they waste your time?Ask them for timestamps. It's literally that simple and yet nobody ever seems to bother or have the foresight to even consider it, far more coombrained than sensible and only looking to ERP their way to yet another post nut regret.
>>33631539>timestampshmm?
>>33631435>Give a sweeping area to where you want to meet but be super specific too. If they dont know the area then they arent a localEh I haven’t seen any no sense if direction whatsoever and just rely on my gps for pretty much everything. Even some place that was only 3 blocks from me I had to use a gps for months to avoid forgetting which way to go for a while.
>>33631539Timestamps really aren't super reliable any more with AI but it's a good start. You can use a real photo holding up a timestamp and use AI to just replace the head now. Fully-AI images, even with MidJourney 6, you can usually just -feel- aren't real, but when you've got someone smarter than a jeet running the scam it's much harder to detect. Just getting multiple photos in the same room are way more reliable since that's really damn hard to more than once. Like while chatting with a girl I noticed some stuff on the walls I was interested in, and she took a better photo of that. That kind of real-environment shots are hard to take and look less sus than asking for stamped selfies. They usually won't even know what you're doing and you seem more interested in their hobbies. >>33631435>Anyone who uses telegramTelegram is the largest messaging platform in the world that matters, under Facebook and Whatsapp... which you didn't even mention. That's where 99% Asian scammers live. Just because you jerk off on Discord with your mic on doesn't make it the only messenger people use, nigger.
>>33631360>"heh, nice to meet you. BTW, can I force you to videocall a complete stranger out of the blue to prove you're not lying to me?"No wonder nobody wants to talk to you, they want a conversation, not a police interrogation.
>>33632015>Telegram is the largest messaging platform in the world that mattersYou are wrong!And no that doesnt matter.Anyone can make hundreds of accounts on telegram at least discord does something to limit that.
>>33632695Nobody wants to have a "conversation" with a fat hairy bald guy living in his mom's basement. If you're not willing to verify you're a woman, then you rightfully deserve to be blocked.
>>33632723Then you'll have to block the entire board because nobody, male or female, will put up with your retarded requirement and videocall you out of the blue. You're not as important as you think you are, if you make things harder for people they'll tell you to fuck off.
>>33632734I've had quite a few women on here that have been happy to verify. Some of them, I didn't even have to ask, they provided all on their own. They were more than willing to get on mic and talk. All it took was a simple selfie, or use of the talk function on the app. It was simple, it was quick. Not an inconvenience on their part at all.You act like they're asking you for your first born child. I dunno, maybe you are one of those people that like to pretend they're women. If you are, that's disgusting, you should stop that.
>>33632793There are different ways in which you could ask someone to verify they're real.I could tell you "hey, I wonder what your accent is like, do you want to VC?", or I could instead tell you "let's VC so that I know you're real". I'm not even a woman (with the harassment problems they will inevitably face in a site like this) and someone asking me to verify I'm not a liar would piss me off.And if someone, like the other faggot wants, ever asked me "hey, can I videocall you to make sure you're real?" that'd be an INSTANT "fuck off" for me. If I'm here looking like shit in my pijamas I'm NOT going to jump on a videocall with some random faggot so he can be sure I'm not a scammer.I have NEVER asked someone to verify they are real. If they are not real, my spidey senses will realize it soon enough for me not to need to inconvenience people to make sure they are not catfishing me. And if someone tried to pull that on me I'd just lose all interest in having a conversation with them. If you do this you're probably filtering the 90% of (real) people that add you on these threads.
>>33632800>VCLike, I said, they did the selfies, or mic'ed up. Doesn't have to be a call.>I'm not even a woman You sure about that?>If I'm here looking like shit in my pijamas Cause only a woman would say this. But, anyway, I don't give a shit how disheveled you look. Specially if you're a woman, lol.>I have NEVER asked someone to verify they are real. If they are not real, my spidey senses will realize it soon enoughNever said it was a hard requirement. It's a case by case assessment.Last month, I was talking to what I thought was a 20 year old girl. They said they were a college student. We talked for a couple of days, then out of the blue, they decided they wanted to come see me. They lived a couple states away. And they wanted to split the price of a Greyhound bus ticket to come and see me. They told me how she had to lie to her mom and friends that they would be going away for a week to come and see me.Sounds way too good to true, right? It was. They wanted me to send them $300 for this bus ticket via CashApp, because they're "just a college student." I told them, before I do that, I need to talk to them on a video call. After some hesitation, they agreed. They were annoyed by the request, but they agreed. Oh but wait, what's that? The calls just weren't going through. Kept on trying, but nothing. Finally, one call did go through, after 30 minutes of "technical issues." And not only could I not see their face, they sounded like a 50 year old vietnamese woman, with terrible english, when they originally told me they were white and american.Of course, I did not send them any money. But I did waste two days of my life talking to a scammer.A couple hours later, they begged me to speak to them. Blocked.>conversationNow if I specifically want to goon with a woman, I will require verification right away. I'm not fucking masturbating with another dude. Fuck that.
>>33631596taking a pic of yourself with the time/date/other self-identifying info handwritten on a piece of paper or similar
>>33633080And if they post a picture of themselves, you automatically should ask for a followup timestamp. Especially if they did it unprompted, right after adding you.
>>33631131What about when you're talking to a woman, and then they start going "so tell me what you wanna do to me daddy."Is that weird, or what?
>>33634595>take you out for a nice dinner
>>33634800lol nice perfect response
>>33631131I'm real, but cam makes me nervous. I will stop talking because it makes me feel like i'm on a stage. I would rather just VC and make a timestamp for someone vs going on videochat. Also tons of guys continue to screenshot and "expose" women on /soc/ literally every other thread has men exposing information about women they have met it is pretty fucked so they probably learned not to trust any of you from the idiots on here.
>>33635764Literally no one does that anymore. You are paranoid over nothing.
>>33635764Wanna voice chat?
>>33635764>I will stop talking because it makes me feel like i'm on a stage. Understandable. Completely fine.>make a timestamp for someone That is fucking good enough for me. I don't need an entire video.>every other thread has men exposing information about women they have met it is pretty fucked so they probably learned not to trust any of you from the idiots on here.Goddamn fuckers, just ruining it for everybody. It's already hard enough to meet female degenerates in real life, now those fuckers make it harder on here as well.God fucking dammit.I got called a "collector" the other day, simply because I asked them to send an audio of them saying my username, just so I can know they're not a man. I didn't even need to see their face.Like what the fuck am I gonna "collect" that for? To masturbate to like some loser? And if there are dudes that do that, holy fucking shit, there's plenty of free porn on the internet. God damn get some fucking help.
Never trust a "female" before she completed a fakecheck. I conduct fakechecks via live pics and you decide which additional gesture your texting partner has to show in the pic. Allow her to hide her face to protect her privacy in the web of course.
>>33632015>Telegram is the largest messaging platform in the world that matters, under Facebook and Whatsapp... which you didn't even mention. if somebody posts whatsapp or facebook here, It would be similar to posting a phone number saying '18/f text me dick pics and rape threats without saying hi first xoxo'. It's so dumb its not worth mentioning. There are many genuine people using telegram, but they aren't posting on 4chan. If you see a telegram posted, they want to jerk off. If you add them, you want to jerk off with them. That's what you're volunteering for.
>>33631131step one search archives for username/handle
>>33635779I'd prefer to know something about you first>>33635776Not paranoid, you just may not see it because they post as a LARP of that woman half the time. >>33635799You seem reasonable Anon sorry that women's 4chan trauma has made it tough.
bump for the scammers
>>33637206Important
>>33631431>>33637206>>33641591I did say that earlier in the thread
>>33641726yes. yes you did.
>>33631131never trust a female
Assume it's a man until you can recognize the glaring differences on how each text
>>33644069what if they're a tranny?
>>33644630A tranny is still going to type like a man.
>>33645389What if it's a man that's so gay, that they can completely emulate the typing of a woman?
>>33639311bump
>>33631360>People who doesn't videocall me after a few minutes are catfishNo surprise you are so lonely and angry.
>>33631131>Keyword, before, they waste my time. Before.You can do what many do and carry a conversation like most guys here do:>ASL?>Hobbies?>Ask for video call or timestamp?>Assume anyone who doesn't comply is a fat guy
>>33647090This, unironically. Both (emphasis on BOTH) parties should be 100% willing to get this out of the way. If not, it's almost definitely a catfish.
>>33647081>>33647090>doesn't understand that scammers can lie and carry fake conversations with you for days or even weeks at a time before asking you for moneylol... lmao even
>>33647330>>33647819A girl will have a few dozen guys she can talk with, and the one unwilling to put any effort beyond "ASL? Hobbies?" will always be the first to be ignored.Crying it was catfishing is a good way to cope, tho.
>>33648014>I'm an attractive woman that men desire>and instead of finding a man I like in real life which I can do very easily >I'm going to contact random weirdos on 4chan so I can be raped and murderedyeah man happens all the time
thought this was a fishing thread for a second. what a fucking dissapointment.
>>33648167kek
>>33648071>You don't get it, no such thing as mental illness, social issues, different interests... exist at all. So there's cannot exist a single reason why a female would be here.Why the guy with the least understand is always the one to try to tell everyone how everything works?
>>33648167lmao dude....
>>33645488>gay men and women type the same wayoh dear...
>>33649927I know, it's scary how far faggots have come in their quest to be women.
>>33644044never trust a scammer
>>33631435>>33632015>>33637204kik and telegram/guard are for the gays, thats why I filter all kik and teleposts.Glad I'm not the only one recognizes it.
