[QUOTE=Bran2025;7237690]You're using the wrong search tools and you're wrong. At your risk.[/QUOTE]No I am not wrong, if your photo is not posted on-line it can't be found. Simple as that. And seeing that you think I am wrong why don't you tell me what search programs you are using?
Best case is the search can look for similar photos.

"Now if you have photos on line that are close to the photo you are using then maybe they can figure it out" is correct, with the caveats that overall the photos themselves don't have to be similar, it's the face in the photos. There are true facial recognition sites which focus in on the face, unlike some other sites (like Google Lens) which appears to me to focus on many aspects of the photo.
Facecheck. I'd is a site I tried on myself; I took a new photo of me (full body) and put it in there and it matched me to my LinkedIn face pic. Whereas Google Lens doesn't seem to be able to match the face on a pic of a woman on the beach to a pic of the same woman at a holiday party. But facecheck could.
[QUOTE=Bran2025;7236731]The only way to prevent this is to not send a face pic (or give access to them that are stored on a site such as Seeking). We all get to decide. Because as you write, the "bait" profiles and communication on Seeking looks and sounds 100% normal like any other 20-something woman.[/QUOTE]More tips: make your facebook, linkedin and other socials private and not available to be on search engines. Don't use these main socials for comms with SBs. Don't use photos on SB sites (and even vanilla dating sites) from your socials. Don't make your photos on the thirst sites public (some claim if public will help you draw more women. Dubious at best). Don't have your main avatar a picture of you.
If you share photos, water mark them (even if you use mspaint to draw an X somewhere in the photo), it will make your photo harder to search (although the AI is getting better).
Take a afternoon. And people search your name and real phone number (you can do your burners too but they will often come up blank, which is why use a burner) and request deletion of your data off those sites. There are also data broker removal websites that do it for a small fee, which can help wipe personal metadata off search engines.
The link clicked may of been the vector. But I agree. They probably reverse AI searched your face pic and got your LinkedIn and then find other info off that after to build their scam.

I only use photos that are not on any web site. I use Xandex a lot comes up with stuff that other search engines mis.
[QUOTE=PoolPlayInTool;7237856]Ok I will check this out. I only use photos that are not on any web site.

As for the original photos no difference Facecheck did not pick up anything new, however they do provide a lot of "similar" images and I was able to screen cap those and find the actual person
[QUOTE=MarkPowers;7237375]Seems real based on texting. Sending me to a bit of a random spot to pick her up. She's been around for a couple months. Anyone ever met her?

Would love any insights on the profiles below. Senior members, feel free to DM me—happy to exchange info as I've done before!

What's the best website for an older sidepiece? Someone in their 40's or 50's. Who is more appreciative of the attention (and $), no GPS, and closer to my age. A few years ago I put up with the time wasting and demands of young smoke shows, but not any more.
After years on both Seeking and SB it is clear to me that the better action has shifted to SB. Seeking has too many fake profiles and still has not managed to police itself. SB weeds out the fakes with the little verification recording. Overall, SB is a clunky site and you need to watch for spending because it goes up the more people that you chat with, but the sheer volume of real profiles makes it a better hunting ground.

What sort of VPN do you guys suggest using for androids?
I was debating either Express or Nord but I'm not sure of the intricacies of either.
Help me out nerds.

So SB is the the better site, okay. Thanks for that. Now I have to steel myself for the aggravation of dealing with the website.
I use SA because I can pay for a subscription with vanilla cards. SB did not let my do it. Did you pay with your own credit card?
