I've found a few fake accounts using the same pictures.
A woman messaged me and after a quick and boring intro, we exchanged numbers. Within a few minutes I asked for a pictur and replied with the same gesture to alleviate doubt that I was fake.
We had a video call shortly afterwards when I voiced my concerns that another account was using her pictures.
The video was fine and we spoke. She's beautiful and gave me compliments too. I felt at ease after that for an hour but that day (yesterday) and today has rung warning alarms. The way she messages is odd and other accounts with different locations are speaking the same way. Ignoring my questions, asking about my employment and asking for WhatsApp way too soon. Once was my mistake, twice is stupidity.
I've researched deep fake videos today and feel that this is what's happened. When she sent me a video today saying she hopes I have a great day, I watched it over and over and it's errie. The mouth movements to the audio don't match and it took too long for her to do it after my request to hear her voice saying my name.
It's a little upsetting because the woman in the pictures is a stunning Japanese with a beautiful smile and she lives in Leeds which is a 30-minute train ride away.
These scammers mess with feelings and ruin what dating apps are supposed to be - connecting with a potential partner. I hope this post helps someone be vigilant and I'm sorry in advance for your subtle hope being taken away.
