How to Spot Fake Photos Using Client Feedback and Reviews
Scammers are using fake photos to trick people into paying for escort services that don’t exist. In London, and across the UK, more people are reporting being misled by profile pictures that look professional, polished, and totally real-until they show up and it’s not the person in the photos. How do you tell the difference? It’s not about the image quality. It’s about what the people who actually met them are saying.
Start with the review patterns, not the pictures
A real escort will have reviews that vary in tone, timing, and detail. Look for reviews that mention specific details: the exact street name, the time of day, what they wore, how the conversation went. Fake profiles often have reviews that sound like they were written by the same person-over and over. Phrases like "perfect evening," "beautiful and professional," or "highly recommended" repeated across 15 reviews? That’s a red flag. Real clients don’t write like that. They’re tired, nervous, or excited. Their words are messy. They say "I thought she’d be taller," or "the coffee shop was freezing," or "she didn’t call back after 10 minutes." Those details matter.Check the timeline of reviews
A legitimate profile will have reviews spread out over months, sometimes years. If you see ten glowing reviews all posted within a single week, especially right after the profile was created, that’s a scam. Scammers create fake profiles, pump them full of fake reviews, and disappear before anyone catches on. Check the date stamps. If the oldest review is from last month and the profile says "10+ years experience," that’s impossible. Look for gaps. Real clients don’t all show up at once. They come in drips and drabs, sometimes months apart.Look for negative reviews that feel real
No service is perfect. If every single review is five stars and says "better than my wife," that’s not trustworthy. Real reviews include complaints: "she was late," "the price changed last minute," "she didn’t clean up after." These aren’t deal-breakers-they’re proof the reviews aren’t manufactured. Scammers avoid negative feedback because it hurts their sales. If you see zero negative reviews on a profile with dozens of comments, treat it like a car with no scratches on the ad-something’s being hidden.Compare photos across platforms
Use Google Images. Right-click on any photo from the escort’s profile and select "Search image with Google." If the same face appears on a modeling site, a stock photo bank, or even a LinkedIn profile, you’re looking at a stolen image. I’ve seen this happen dozens of times. One woman used the same photo on three different escort sites, under three different names, with three different prices. Google Images found her on a travel blog from 2022. She was a real person-but she had nothing to do with the escort service. The photos were lifted from her public Instagram. That’s fraud.
Pay attention to inconsistent details
A real escort will have consistent details across their profile: height, eye color, hair length, accent. If the photo says "blonde, 5'8", but the bio says "brunette, 5'4"" and the reviews say "she had dark hair," that’s a mismatch. Scammers copy-paste templates. They don’t care if the details line up. Real people remember their own story. They stick to it. Also, check the location. If the profile says "based in Westminster" but all the reviews mention meeting in Croydon, that’s odd. Escorts usually work in one or two areas. Jumping between districts without explanation is a sign of a middleman or a fake.Read between the lines of the bio
Fake profiles use buzzwords: "discreet," "luxury," "exclusive," "VIP treatment." These aren’t bad words-they’re overused. Real escorts describe themselves simply: "I like reading in the park," "I cook Italian food," "I’m into jazz." They mention hobbies, not services. If the bio reads like an ad for a hotel suite, it’s probably not real. Also, watch for grammatical errors that don’t match the claimed nationality. A profile claiming to be from Spain but using broken English with American slang? That’s a red flag. Native speakers don’t mix accents and grammar like that by accident.Ask for recent, unedited photos
If you’re considering meeting someone, ask for a recent photo taken in real time. Not a selfie. Not a filtered picture. A video call with the camera held up to show the room, the window, the time on the wall. Most real escorts will agree to this. Scammers won’t. They’ll make excuses: "I don’t do video calls," "it’s against my policy," "I’m shy." That’s not shyness-that’s evasion. Real people aren’t afraid of being seen. They’re proud of who they are. If they’re hiding behind a photo that’s three years old, they’re hiding something.
Trust your gut, but check the data
Your instinct matters. If something feels off, it probably is. But don’t rely on gut feeling alone. Cross-check it with the facts. Look at the review history. Search the photos. Compare the details. If five out of seven reviews mention the same odd detail-like "she had a tattoo on her left wrist"-and the photo doesn’t show one, that’s a clue. Maybe the tattoo was edited out. Maybe the photo is fake. Either way, it’s a warning.What to do if you’ve been scammed
If you paid for a service that didn’t match the photos or reviews, report it. Don’t stay quiet. Sites like Escort Reviews UK and London Escort Forum have moderation teams that track scams. Post the profile link, the payment receipt, and the photos. Other people will see it and avoid the same trap. You’re not just protecting yourself-you’re protecting others. Scammers rely on silence. Speak up.Final tip: Use multiple sources
Never rely on just one site. Check three different review platforms. Look at Reddit threads, independent forums, and even local Facebook groups. Real clients talk. They warn each other. If you can’t find any discussion about the person outside their own profile, that’s a problem. The most reliable profiles are the ones that come up in multiple places, with consistent details, and real, messy reviews.Can I trust escort reviews on social media?
Social media reviews are unreliable. Many are paid for, or posted by bots. Look for reviews on independent, non-commercial sites where users don’t get paid to write them. Sites like Escort Reviews UK and local forums have stricter moderation and fewer fake accounts.
Why do fake escort profiles look so professional?
Scammers use AI tools to generate realistic photos and hire writers to craft perfect bios. They copy layouts from real profiles. The goal is to look legitimate at first glance. But real people don’t have flawless, identical reviews. Look past the polish to the inconsistencies in timing, detail, and tone.
Are all escort profiles with few reviews fake?
No. New escorts often have fewer reviews, and some prefer to keep a low profile. But if a profile has zero reviews and claims years of experience, that’s suspicious. Look for a balance: a few real, detailed reviews over time are better than ten perfect ones posted yesterday.
Can I report a fake escort profile to the police?
Yes, if you paid money and were defrauded, it’s a criminal offense. Report it to Action Fraud in the UK. Provide screenshots, payment records, and links to the profile. Police don’t always act on individual cases, but when multiple reports come in, they investigate networks behind the scams.
Do real escorts ever use professional photos?
Yes, many use high-quality photos taken by photographers. But they don’t use stock images or edited faces. Real photos show natural lighting, real locations, and subtle imperfections-like a wrinkle in the shirt or a reflection in the mirror. Fake photos look too perfect, like they were made for a magazine, not a real person.
