Thanks for feedback on Anti-fraud tools
|
Thanks for feedback on Anti-fraud tools Just wanted to thank everyone for their feedback on tools to reduce fraud profile activity on this site. We've leaning to implement a policy that contact information is allow to be sent after each side of an email exchange has sent one email to the other. This is only the 2nd email sent could contain contact info. We'll try this first to how it improves the site experience. Hopefully, it reduce members from "broadcasting" their contact information in every initial email they send. Of course, we'll start with an automated system to identify contact information. When people report a member sending contact information strange ways (email me using blah at that hot male site), they will be dealt with harder than someone who simply forgot about the policy. Again, we want to make sure that people are able to get together. By creating this policy, it will still retain the philosophy of the site while improving the quality of the profiles. Thanks again! |

I think that is an excellent first step, and one that will inhibit the phishers from using your site so easily!

I have one Q that pertains to some of the profiles I come across in concerns to the TOU about advertising. Recently I have come across a few profiles that are of advertisement for "parties" (gangbangs and orgies) that are telling of the place, date, time, and charge of admission and the amount in dollars. Does this not go against TOU of advertisement on this site or is this allowable?

Is there going to be a warning that is highlighted so people can easily see this? cause alot of potential guys send me emails with an email addy in it, and they may not read the warning if it is not obvious. maybe if they do put it in the first email, it should give a message saying that it cant be sent? kind of like when you put in the wrong confirmation number and it gives you that little red message at the top.

Darn, I suppose my plan of sending out phone numbers to guys that email me with their numbers won't work now. I was just going to mix them all up and let them call each other.   Have tongue, will use it. Repeatedly.

Thanks for your work... I could use a comment from you though, you're only 7 or so behind me now... ...and I'd be honored.

luvpump, I just notified your customer service people about a blatantly obvious fake profile. This kicker of this one was that it was using a pic stolen from a porn site, and actually had the model's name and website info on it. (the profile is called hottieaddy if you want to take a look). How can your customer service people allow a pic that has the website info on it? I can understand that they don't know all the porn models out there so they can't identify them off the bat, but when I see pics with the model's name on it as well as the website, I get the feeling that your people either a) are blind as bats or b) allow it because it makes your site appear to have more members.

I find it funny that I ask a Q that also relates to fake and fraudulent profiles and have 2 disagree votes on that Q with no explanation of why disagreeing with that question asked. So many different techniques people use to obtain an individuals private email address, and I just listed one asking about it.

Talk about fake and fraudulent profiles and possible stolen photos. You need to take a look at this Andrew; furthermore, I know that this has been reported by several members, yet nothing has been done about it as of yet. SouthernGrandma = DarkSecret969 whom was listed as #1 most active group member on the Groups homepage. The photo that individual was using under DarkSecrets969 was a young Black Shemale, and now it is an older white woman that is suppose to be 70, Then there is BirdWatcherLover = SheMale4TheWorld whom also was listed as one of the most active group member on the home page of the groups. The photo used before as SheMale4TheWorld was of a young White Shemale and now the photo used is of an older while female suppose to be 83. Clicking on DarkSecret969 and SheMale4TheWorld will say member not found; however, go to the group Beware SPAMMERS those member handles were active in and click on them and they will take you to the new handles they are using. How in the world can a supposedly legitimate member have their profile handle changed to something else that is so obvious and drastically different from the other one they had go unnoticed as this?

Not only that, but when your customer service people apparently either a) are blind or b) ignore profiles (such as the one below) that blatantly advertise services unaffiliated with Various, Inc., one has to wonder if a) you don't care or b) these people are in fact affiliated with Various, Inc. in some way. And please don't give me the sad song about how your customer service people are only human and miss things like this from time to time. I got an e-mail saying my profile was approved (including any time I update it), so how can your people miss something as brazen as this: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Guys will enjoy intimate foot indulgence inside many of the Private and Semi-Private themed playrooms that are available, with a cozy and delightful atmosphere.

your1, also notice this post in that group that just came up? [group_post 928424] . they are bringing up old posts where people have spammed, as if they dont do enough of it themselves, pretty much a double standard if you ask me...

[group_post 928424] . they are bringing up old posts where people have spammed, as if they dont do enough of it themselves, pretty much a double standard if you ask me... The people who are making a stink about this are doing it for selfish reasons. This was supposed to be about fake profiles of SCAMMERS, not petty stuff to please a few people in a clique. Steve

Shellie Marie, I have to agree with TechSteve here also about the postings in that group being insignificant to the topic here about fake profiles. The fake profiles that make there way on this site in my opinion should be a main priority in being solved as it is starting to discourage many legitimate members from joining, being active or continuing use of the services offered to them (standard or premium member) and is starting to destroy the reputation of this site by disappointed and disgusted members that post in the Magazine Sections, Advice Lines, Blogs and Groups complaining about the fake and fraudulant profiles. In my opinion and several other members I know there are many contributing factors as to why this site has had a large influx of fake and fraudulant profiles and one is the type of wording in the advertisement and description that is used. I will not list those phrases here; however, if Andrew wants my feedback be it here or emailed to him is entirely up to him and only then I will present them. Nick

I know it bugs them whenever somebody plays their game a lot better than they play it. Get rid of the list......problem solved.......chances are the group would never have been created, just like a few other groups, if it wasnt for the list. Steve

THANK YOU for your efforts to improve TSmeet. The system has gotten much better over the years.

I am receiving the same in email invites ... will this cease with the new policy? Peace and Love, Turq Peace and Love, Turq

As a start of a solution to fix this problem ... it works for me. Personally, I need more than a couple email exchanges and perhaps some private chat room discussion before providing personal email information. The live PCR helps me read between the lines to determine whether I'm being hoaxed or not. Peace and Love, Turq Peace and Love, Turq
