This can happen to anyone on any social site, it doesn’t have to be a dating service!

Bad people will use pictures of others to bait you into contacting and possibly meeting them. A picture can be copied from anywhere and reported to any site that wants photos or images.

Match.com has come under fire recently for such abuses by members and they say that they use special algorithms to detect such image fraud even being sued for $1.5 billon dollars.

Take this story published by Rawstory.com as an example and what you need to do when you find out the truth.

“New York man arrested for impersonating dead soldier on dating site”
It was the dead soldier’s sister that notified the police about the image theft and impersonation.

There is a level of trust between people that honesty is the best policy. Those that break this trust will take advantage of those that give this trust willingly.

Remember my Golden Rule: you don’t really know someone until you’re close enough to smell them.
