LinniePOOF's blog post - fake profiles

I cant understand why there are so many fakes on here...the pics they use are obviously web pics yet people seem to fall for them all the time, I report them every time I come across them, if you cant post your own pics then dont post any at all....are people being scammed for money this way? is it for the attention? is it to attract someone you cant otherwise attract?
I have had my pics used for that purpose before ( my boob pics) and in some odd way i am mildly flattered yet I am fully outraged.. i think thats why i like the 'verified' option so much...i have a tendency to get a bit more open with ppl who have verified accounts on here..one of the times i deleted my account here was to the overwhelming frustrations I was having with fake pics on here.....i'm over it..lol....but told myself this time i would spend extra time on here just to investigate the accounts and report every one of them to help clean out the garbage....i am real, so are my pics...hear me roar !!!
