Again, anyone with five minutes of business experience already knows the answer, statistically speaking. But I doubt most of them know the percentage of fakes. I have seen a few dating sites this year with 95% fakes (quite obviously), so wait for more on this story.
If you've used a dating site or app like Ok Cupid or Tinder, you'll have noticed the hundreds of fake profiles that exist on the sites, seemingly designed to make you hand over your profile to scammers.
Dating sites are, thankfully, getting better at spotting who is using their service to send thousands of spam messages.
This means that they share scripts and wording that have delivered successful results with their target group.
While it’s bad news that optimized messaging used for scamming is spread, it’s good news for those of us trying to spot the romance scam profiles as we can search for known patterns in the language used.
