POF : Would you upload your driver’s license to a dating site like POF to help prevent bots and fake users?
Hopefully this is okay to post here and i’m asking because of the number of fake profiles on sites like POF is just ridiculous. It’s pretty clear that POF doesn’t care about the creation of these fake accounts, i suspect no site really does…
I’m curious if people would be willing to upload a picture of their driver’s license to verify their identity – this wouldn’t be something public and wouldn’t be apart of your profile just a way to keep bots and fake users from creating accounts.

I’ve done that on some adult dating sites. They also ask you to take a photo with your user name on a piece of paper. You then get a verified user stamp on your profile. I only respond to women who have that stamp on their profiles.
Would you be willing to pay $9.99.mnth to cover the cost of the people needed to run a program that uses a photo validation and still have to deal with bots and scammers because they can still find a work around?
Well i guess botts dont have an id …
Nope.
To show my profile is real, I have a couple of pictures with recognizable local landmarks in the background.
There are far easier ways to confirm your identity without entrusting the site with highly sensitive information.
Badoo and Facebook for example require you to pose in a specific manner for a picture only visible to them. Reddit simply requires you to hold a piece of paper with your username on. I could go on.
