There are some true blaggers out there and often they get away with people believing they truly are communicating with Miss Azerbaijan 1987! Normally you arrange the date only to find she or he was ‘Gurner’ of the year 2006

There are a couple of simple techniques to tell if they are really lying however.

Photo proof please – Ask them to email a photo. If they are pretending to be somepone else they will normally hesitate and delay… and then if you get a picture of a stunner or a stud, be wary!

They make a big thing of how much they earn –This normally means that they are insecure about what they really earn which is normally a fraction of what they say they do. If they keep repeating their salary and are really materialistic, be wary! Even if they do, do you really want someone so materialistic?

They sound too good to be true – If you are doing all the answering and they are asking all the questions… and then answering with what you want to hear then they are probably trying to mimic who you are looking for. Ask some questions too and don’t be afraid to be upfront.

Repeat questioning – When you first start conversation with them do some fact finding with questions that are open ended and record the answers. Then after a couple of emails with them pursue them once again for an answer to a question you previously asked them and see if it’s the same!

Get a friend to chat them up online – If you know another person of the same sex registered on the same site as you, ask them if they wouldn’t mind making contact with the person you’ve been speaking with, and pretent to be interested - then compare notes. This is a bit crafty I know and quite time consuming but a great way of uncovering idiots!
