Seeking account messed with by Seeking

Satyrrical's Avatar
So deactivated my Seeking account a few months ago. Just being curious I jumped back on to see what was up with the young ladies there. Apparently Seeking had taken my account and sent favorites to a couple hundred ladies (all older than me) as well as adding fake public pictures. Now as I said, I had deactivated the account, so maybe I don’t have a right to complain. But really do not appreciate their shenanigans. Guess they can’t be arsed to make their own fake profiles anymore.
the women dont pay anything, seems weird to have the site do that, but if you say it happened it must have.

While this exact thing has not happened to me, I'm highly suspect that sites such as Ashley Madison, Seeking, etc. have fake profiles to get you to spend money. I'm sure many of the females who have favorited me on those sites and/or sent me messages are fake accounts started by the website to get me to spend money to open the message.

Ya, I've seen that happen before. Lots of favorites and messages, then once you pay poof, not so much anymore.

Did you get replies from those ladies????

What a shame, but yes, seems to be standard process for a lot of bot activity, and I would suspect from inactive real accounts.

I didn't get any replies to the messages I sent. I thought one of the profiles I replied to was the real thing, as because she wasn't good at crafting a username too different from her real name, I found her Facebook page. I'm guessing its an inactive profile they are using to get business, as her location is really close to mine and their algorithms probably recognize that.
Every thing seem to fake and that no connection with real one
