Dating sites that use scammers profiles in ad banners

Don't you love it? Not only their site is flooded with scam, not only they don't boot them off, but they also use their profiles as advertising, to suck in more victims.

Lets post our funny findings. :lol:

here is an exhibit #1:

Image

site called Doulike.us
I wonder if a porn model Next Door Nikky gave her permission to use her image on their lousy site advertising?? :thinking:

btw, the real girl on the pictures was also identified, I bet she didn't give her permission to use her image on that banner.

exhibit # 3:

lavaplace.com

Image

Has 2 known scammers on their ad:
"Jessica" is a picture stolen from porn model Sweet Adri
"Joseph" is a picture stolen from Canadian actor Paul McGillion.

While lavaplace is probably not the worst site out there, this is not the first time I notice they use scammers profiles in advertising, and this time I made a screenshot. That's a shame, why don't they at least use tineye to check their members pics??? or at least of those members they use for advertising?? :evil:

another exhibit: speeddate.com

This is their advertising banner on Hi5:

Image

This is a model Denise Milani. Her pictures are widely used by Russian and Nigerian scammers. Do you think she gave that website permission to use her image on their banner?? Nah, I think they just took it from a scammers profile.

:lol:

Russianeuro likes to do it too. When they try to influence you to upgrade your membership, they do it with complete fake pics and profiles... i know at least 6 of these pics are from scams. Pathetic... They promote their site with scams. That's why they don't fight scammers, it is a good vitrin for them to attract men for subscribing expensive membership...

This is the banner that appeared on another asian site, that lead me to asianlocaldatelink.com A real scammer infested mess.


Image

The girl in the banner on the right, I'm pretty sure is a stolen model pic.



Image

Google image search shows the image is on three facebook accounts, Lisa Ange, Ange Lisa, and Jessica Hore. :P


Then she shows up as Kate Pinket on this site.




community.justlanded.com/de/profile/Kate-Pinket


I guess her Mother never told her that 'nice girls don't sit like that'.......????



Image


Apparently the real girl is a model or Actress from Sri Lanka. I can't figure out a name, yet.
