Fake profiles are the oldest trick in online video chat: a flattering photo, a black screen, a recorded clip on a loop. They're built to waste your time. The good news is they're easy to spot once you know the signs — and easy to dodge entirely on a live network.
The tell-tale signs
Watch for video that never quite responds to you, a camera that stays off no matter what, or a "person" who repeats the same motions on a loop. Real people in a live video chat react in real time; fakes can't.
Live, two-way matching beats fakes
The reason fakes thrive on free feeds is that there's no cost to flooding them. A live, paid, two-way match is far harder to fake — you're seeing a real person in real time, and a black screen has nowhere to hide.
When in doubt, skip
Never waste time arguing with a screen. If a profile feels fake, hit Next — it's instant and free — and report it so moderation can act. New members get free credits, and everything is strictly 18+ and moderated around the clock.
