In fact, around 1 in 10 online dating profiles are fake, with “romance scams” garnering nearly 50 million dollars per year in total. This isnt only a problem with online dating profiles. All told, 60% of all online profiles are either inactive or faked.

Why is there so many fake profiles on dating sites?

These profiles are created with the goal of scamming you into sharing private information, as mentioned above, or tricking you into clicking on malware links. If someones profile answers seem all weird, disjointed, and robotic, dont bother engaging.
