Hi there. I have found the perfect method to identify users with stolen profile pictures. I have an Idea to report here all those who try to scam you.

I have reported plenty of such an users to the administrator but their profiles are still on the site. so lets help each other and filter some of the accounts with stolen photos. This will not protect us fully but at least it will help to decrease significantly wast of your time.

TIP ONE: when you are interested with photo right-klick (in google) 'search google for image' and in most of the cases you will be devastated that more than 50% of accounts are with faced/stolen pictures.
Not all perhaps are intending to cheat you, but beaware..
