The most common signs
- A link right away. A real person talks first and maybe asks for a contact later. A bot leads with the link.
- Off-topic replies. Ask something specific: if the answer has nothing to do with it, nobody's there.
- Looping video. The same gestures over and over, no reaction when you wave or ask for something.
- Money or «verification». «Sign up here to see me», «send me a gift card»: always a scam.
- Too-perfect profile. Magazine-cover photo and zero real details.
The ten-second test
Ask for something simple and unpredictable: «can you wave with your left hand?» or «what time is it there?». A real person reacts naturally. A recording doesn't.
Where you'll find most of them
On text chats and fully anonymous chats, where nobody checks who comes in. In my test on CooMeet I only met real girls who responded to what I said: one of the reasons for the score in the review.
What to do when you run into one
- Don't click links or download anything.
- Move to the next conversation.
- Report it if the chat lets you.
Everything else: video chat safety.
