It didnt really take long to figure this out. Search in your city on yahoo personals and youre bound to find fake profiles. Heres how to spot them its really easy.
First of all, the picture of the person in question is obviously very attractive, and every single fake profile only has one picture per profile.
In the "about me" field, every fake profile only has the following fields filled in - Gender, Body Type, Height, Eyes, Hair, Ethnicity, Smoking, Drinking, Living Situation, Have Kids, Religion, Political Views, and Language. The other half are either "no answer" or "ill tell you later".
The "In my own words" field is always something very basic and consists of roughly four lines of very basic text, which always never contain any information hinting at their real location, which Im sure these profiles are used over and over in other states.
Finally, in the "about my match" field they always enter within 100 miles from their city, Age range is 18-40, height is 3-7'11, and language is english. Every single other field is entered as "any". I know it may sound like some conspiracy theory but all these profiles are made exactly the same very down to every detail so there is absolutely no way that this is mere chance.
Now, this cannot be mere coincidence. Yahoo put these profiles on to lure people onto the service tricking them into thinking that there are very attactive model looking people in their cities looking for dates. This is very deceptive and downright criminal. I know Yahoo got caught in the past for making fake profiles to get people to use and PAY for the service, but it looks like theyre at it again.
