I'm not too sure it happens here, but I'm convinced that other dating sites post fake profiles from time to time...
Example...
I'm browsing through profiles on Yahoo Personals a week ago and there she is... the girl of my dreams! Beautiful, blonde, intelligent, says all the right stuff. Of course I send an e-mail, and a week later the profile is gone.
Coincidence? Nay says I. I have noticed that when the proverbial well of new profiles starts to dry up, out of the clear blue sky some super model shows up for about a week.
I personally believe that Yahoo! posts fake profiles to keep the fellas content and therefore stick around.
There is a second possibility... I a complete idiot who needs to find something else to do until Spring.

yeah it's a fact, both yahoo and match.com have been caught by consumer groups posting fake profiles with supermodels to lure new members.

It's really obvious to me now--- never said I was the sharpesr tool in the shed...
You'll see pages of average women (nothing wrong with that) and then BOOM! WOW! WHAT are you doing here!
Definetley not re-upping on Yahoo! next month...
Did Yahoo and Match really get snagged by a consuner group?

Yahoo and Match have both been included in lawsuits about this but as far as I know there's been no real "Proof" that they do this.

There are a lot of scam sites out there that are primarily fake profiles in order to get dim-witted guys to sign up in order to send 'em emails. True, Singlesnet, and of course the "adult" dating sites are ones that come to mind.

The idea that this site would do that is kind of... well... dumb. It's a FREE site. Why on earth would they waste time creating fake profiles??? What do they stand to gain?? OOooooo look at the bandwidth we're consuming!

Yes, you will occasionally find fake profiles on free sites but those are spam tools used by porn sites. They're trying to get a long list of contacts to invite to "come see my OTHER pictures on this great site I found".

Now people lying like dogs on their profiles... that's a whole other story.

Just to make it very clear there are fake profiles every where on the internet not at this time nor anytime does JSH promote them nor plant them. If at any time you suspect a profile to be a fake please use the abuse button state in the box the reason and it will be checked out and dealt with if the pics are from a celebrity and you know the website please share it with JSH in order to have the info to check it out.
