Full of fake profiles
November 12, 2019

When you go online, the scammers see you and then the nudges start. Usually i would get between 2-5 daily. All are from good looking girls, usually in their 20's.

Unfortunately, all are fake profiles, it is only people using stolen pics, who want your phone number, email etc, for the purposes of phishing information out of it.

You can spot these fake profiles fairly easily, look for descrepencies in their location, poor english in their profiles etc., there are many telltale signs you can look for.

I guess most of these people with these fake profiles are men posing as girls, so they can phish information from people.

I give it 2 stars only because i met the love on my life on mingle2, and she happened to be just a few km's away from me!@ so all we did really on mingle is just said hi to each other and set up a real date at a restaurant. The rest is history! -D we had a very happy few years together, she passed away suddenly from a genetic illness.( now after 3 years of being without her (in body) i have picked myself up enough to look for someone, as my dear wife wouldn't want me to be alone. (in body). In spirit, we are together!. Always! *true love!*

On the website mingle2, there are a lot of scammers who are trying to scam users by posting fake pictures and fake information. They always ask users for sending them more pictures... trying to collect it for using it by themself on mingle2 or another website. Most of them are men and from the middle east! Scammers trying to tell users touched stories to get the trust. They also say that they are from the US military and are deployed somewhere far and want to visit you so badly but are broken. They just need you to help them by sending gift cards or money. Another story is that they are US citizens but are living somewhere in the middle east and got some financial problems but they want to get back to the USA to be with you so they need some help and they will pay you back after everything is done. At the end they could scame a big amount of money from users. Many users got scammed and are feeling so helpless even though the mingle2 team knows about all these issues but still doesn't really do anything! It sounds like a big online business to get users money as much as they can?! Scammers could easily create many accounts or changing nicknames without having any difficulties. To all users, be very careful on the mingle2 website or online generally! Never send anyone MONEY and/or GIFT CARDS or whatever!

I think as time goes by, things start off great then people with corrupt intentions ruin a good thing. Especially if it is free. Mingle2 is free and in 2017 I met a great guy from a country outside of mine and we had a long distance relationship for 2 yrs before I called it quits. It is possible to meet real people. We chat for 4 months before meeting in person. 2 months on the site then moved to email which was easier. Then built trust and exchanged numbers within the next 2 months. I went back after we broke up and the site was a whole mess. You can tell the scammers by their grammar mishaps and obvious short two worded lines that almost always sound the same like "Loyal fun and loving" or "Fun and caring". Some vague $#*! descriptions. But also note that their are some who write a lengthy description that sounds romantic and engaging. When in doubt of the length copy and paste a line from their message. If it is fraud it has been used before and said in many ways. It will pop up on fraud reports. My second time around I chatted with this wealthy man from Ireland who was already married but claimed to be having a rough time in his marriage. I encouraged him to go back to his wife. I dont want that karma following me. There are scammers there posing as wealthy men too. And they take miltary men's photos off their social media and use it as their own. Zoom in on photos and check the stripes on the uniform. If their country and uniform dont match, it's a scam. Run for the hills! I met a real English Veteran from the army on there. He helped me to call in scams although he was weary of me and called me over whatsapp to make sure I was real. All in all be cautious please. Don't ignore red flags.

Hi
I am a normal Indian guy, I am single and wanted to try a dating site in India.
I came across mingle2.
The registration process is free and very easy unlike other dating sites where you have to pay membership.
I came across profiles who were sharing their numbers for paid sex chatting and video chatting.
Well I am a healthy single guy with my own needs so decided to try them out.
Every such profile I would talk to would ask me to first Paytm amounts of Rs 300/500/1000 first before even confirming themselves on the phone or video.
I said fine maybe they want to be secure so I Paytm ed the amount and sent them the screenshot.
After that the profile would send me some nudes instead of the sex chat and demand for more I would get tempted and again Paytm and after receiving the payment the profile user would stop sending messages.

I thought maybe that single profile was fake and wanted to try the others
Then I came across one more who was offering sex chat for 500 and video chat for 1000, I had to first Paytm Rs 500 like before to which he/she shared some cut 45-54 sec videos of a girl bathing...
I got really tempted
Then the profile asked me whether I wanted a live show for RS 1000 more
The amount was too much for me and I asked him/her to lessen it.
The profile agreed with Rs 500, after Paytm ing the amount I asked to start the show
The profile said that I had to pay Rs 500 more ( as she was doing a live show) otherwise it would leave the chat, I thought fine I may just as well get a first time experience and paid.
After receiving the confirmation the profile blocked my number on WhatsApp.
Frustrated I decided to try the others and the others too were like this, none gave an audio and video confirmation and after Paytm ing they would share some random pictures of a nude girl which could have been taken by an innocent third party.
I think it's a really big scam happening inside Mingle2
I personally lost atleast Rs 2000 in total but I don't want others to fall in the trap..

Mingle2 is free to use but with all free dating sites that do not have security measures in place to keep out fake profiles; the site will be over taken by scammers of all types. Mingle2 was the worsted experience that I have had on a dating site. Everyday I received several messages from scammers. I have a sharp eye to spot them. I also got lured into conversations with perverted sexual degenerates. The sexual degenerates will start off with a good conversation then it quickly turn into a foul and replusive language from the perverts. The scammers don't usually talk perverted sexual language. They all state that they are honest, God fearing men and want a serious relationship. They immediately try to get you off the site and tell you they want to communicate via Whatapp, Hang out or by e-mail. They never want to do face video chat because they are using beautiful looking people pictures that they have stolen off the Internet. The scammers will "LOVE BOMB," you. They will shower you with attention and sweet talk. Very quickly they will profess their love to you. As soon as they think that they have your trust, they will give you a tear jerking sad story and then ask for money. People over 45 are targeted. Young people are targets too but older people looking for companionship are prime targets. Mingle2 was so horrible for me that the scammers and perverts force me off the site. Mingle2 has a feature that blocks fake profiles which I used, however, no matter how many times I blocked the scammers and perverts they were relentless in their attempts to scam me. Even as I was deleting my profile I was still being bombarded with foul degenerate messages from a pervert that had been stalking me on the site. Also scammers was still messaging me as I was deleting my profile. My experience on Mingle2 was extremely disheartening.

After 5 weeks of publishing my profile on Mingle2, my experiences were totally negative. None of the womens' profiles I replied to were 100% truthful. The most common lies were about their current location. Most of the photos in those profiles I personally dealt with were stolen (easily provable because they didn't match the photos shared during conversations on WhatsApp or Google Hangout). I have reported dozens of fake profiles to Mingle2 and I can only hope that they deleted them.
But, as of June 25,2022, Mingle2 seems to finally begun a process of weeding out their hundreds if not thousands of fake profiles. They have now begun to require Photo Verification before you can access your own profile again. That means you have to upload a selfie showning yourself in a certain pose. If that photo doesn't match any of the photos already in your profile, then Mingle2 has every right to deactivate or delete that profile. AND I FERVENTLY HOPE THEY WILL FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THIS "HOUSE CLEANING"
UPDATE:
On Saturday, June 25, Mingle2 prevented me from accessing my account as well as my profile and incoming messages. Instead Mingle2 demanded that I take a picture of myself in the same pose as the example shown and upload it. Once my photo is verified they would allow me to continue to use Mingle2. I complied with that photo upload request but was NOT GIVEN A TIMEFRAME AS TO WHEN THAT PHOTO VERIFICATION WOULD BE COMPLETED, IF AT ALL. (see attached photo)
