If you've found yourself reading this then the chances are you're as fed up as the rest of us that we the paying members are being ripped off and taken for mugs by the management/owners of this site, who allow an open house to scammers to create fake profiles and upload fake pictures without any checks or reviews. At best Passion are negligent, complacent and dis-interested over the issue of FAKES, and at worst Passion are colluding with the scammers and making money off the back of them.
Its time that the paying members made their feelings felt and gave the site owners/managers something to think about.
1) Stop reporting FAKE profiles. It doesnt help. As soon as Passion delete the profile another springs up. Also why should we be doing their job? A much better tactic is to post comments such as "FAKE" on any fake profiles you come across. This can be done on photos, updates, accepted friends invites etc. Anywhere it allows you to write a comment.
2) Post feedback/complaints/questions on the Site Support blog's Customer Feedback and Suggestions page. Here is a link to the Site Support Blog. Tell them how many fake profiles there are on your "My New Matches" every day. Ask why there are so many fake profles and why Passion are allowing them to be created? Ask why there arent proper IP address checks so members can see that Linda in London was actually created by someone in Ghana/Nigeria. Ask why we should continue paying for a site full of fake profiles and why Passion continue to claim that there are X million of users on the site when 99% of profiles are fake. And dont accept their standard "we apologise for the inconvenience" response that they'll give you. When commenting on photos on FAKE profiles leave comments such as "Complain to Site Support about the amount of FAKE profile". Anything to spread the word and disrupt what Passion consider as being normal operation of the site.
3) I also urge you to post your frustration about the FAKE profile issue on this post on the Passion is listening blog as Passion seem to think that redesigning the site is of more importance than sorting out the issue of FAKE profiles.
The more people that complain the more the management/owners will have to take notice. Do nothing and i can guarentee you that nothing will change as Passion have proved time after time that they dont give a stuff about paying members once they've got their hands on your hard earned money.

Am going to keep a log of my posts to the Site Support Customer Feedback blog and any replies if i get them - which might not be forthcoming as Passion are obviously embarrassed to answer them as evidenced by them deleting my previous question.

Passion are doing absolutely everything they can to rid the site of FAKE profiles....
And here is the proof - They're redesigning the homepage and changing some of the site's features!
Yes, its absolutely true folks. You can expect more useless rubbish features that probably wont work properly.... whilst the fakes and scammers can continue to go about with their business with no risk and no trouble.
And to the Passion person who modified my blog to remove the reference to another social networking site who you've been copying features from.... Dont you have anything better to do? Like creating more fake profiles? You wont get your bonus if you dont hit your daily quota!

Yesterday i blogged a great FAKE of the Day - the profile having a picture of Britney Spears no less.... yet Passion blocked it from appearing on my blog saying its a "banned topic".
Yet 24 hours later the FAKE profile that i was mocking is still there and up and running.
Yet another example of Passion's priorities.... Sod the paying customer, lets make life easy for scammers of this world!

Britney Spears is on Passion. Its true. Living in Aldershot of course, but Passion want to keep it a secret, hence they banned my original blog post about it.
Keep looking though because the truth is out there. And so is Britney. Allegedly....

When a profile intro is "just here for real and honest people..." you just know it has to be FAKE!
But just in case you think i'm being harsh the profile creator thinks Bath is in Brighton and Hove, the profile details dont match the girl in the pictures, and the pictures are of some baywatch type babe.

Hmmmm, dare i say it but i havent seen any bot-created large batches of fake profiles over the last few days.
This can mean one of 2 things of course. Passion's fake profile creation team are on holiday or have been fired.... or someone at Passion has actually taken notice of member feedback/frustration as seen on this blog and actually done something about the problem!!!
I'm sceptical as to which of those it is, but will continue monitoring the situation to see if the bot created profiles return.
Of course whats left on My New Matches page today appears to be a sorry bunch of scammers.
eg kinkygirlll69 with her photos stolen from a porn site, and sexnessxx who wants some poor sucker to "relocate me".

No asian profiles with pictures of white women to choose from today. I guess Passion's fake-profile deletion team picked up on it. - Or maybe it was their fake-profile creation team who realised their mistake 
Todays's winner is candysingleq1 - a pretty obvious scam profile.
"She" says she's seeking love... and does so whilst posting a full frontal nude pic! 
Am a lovely single young lady ,I am a mixed race of American and Ghana,I am 29 years of age ,i have a lovely long dark black hair and also with a charming hazel eyes,i am 5.4ft 6incs tall ,I have lovely smooth body and also with a charm smile,i have round lovely lips 34D medium standing breast, long skinny legs and Nice fingers and toes, am honest,faithful,caring,open minded,truthful and trust worthy,I am here for 5 weeks course and i am done so will be returning back home in the next few days reply me with your address so we can stay in-touch i look forward to hear from you soon
I can tell you how this story ends. It ends with a request to send some money via Western Union to a person in Ghana.....
Oh, and to top it all the profile picture was stolen from this page
(web address removed because Passion wont let you post links to other websites, but will of course let you steal photos from them for uploading to your fake profile)

Every day i'm going to post the profile created by the DUMBEST scammer/fake profile creator. Its just a shame that we dont get to see the stupid moron behind these profiles.
Today's prize goes to isha_epiink4
Intro "Virgin girl ready for some experience!"
The obligatory picture of a gorgeous woman who would never need to resort to a site like Passion.
"I`m a big girl but I have a pretty face and I`ve never had trouble finding a boyfriend. I`m intelligent and wtity and ready to experience some new things"
Height: 5 ft 8 in / 172-175 cm
Body Type: Athletic
Bra Size: 36 / 80 B
---------------------------------------------------------
So you've never had trouble getting a boyfriend.... but at the same time you're a virgin looking to get experience?
And you're a BIG girl, whose body type is athletic?
This idiot scammer has copied bits from different profiles without even realising they dont make sense.... But that hasnt stopped some guys from sending him/her friends invites

Anyone else notice that over the last week hundreds of profiles have been created in the UK where the profile name is in the following format
margaret_thatcher9
mo_slater4
lilly_savage6
but with sexier sounding names obviously! lol
Strange that they all seem to be online at the same time. Hmmmm
And if there are hundreds of profiles like this in the UK i can only guess there are 1000's of the buggers in the US and the rest of Europe.
Either those pesky Ghanaians are working round the clock creating fake profiles on an industrial scale or someone a lot closer to California is creating them.....
Changing the subject completely where is Passion based?

Someone joked elsewhere on my blog about Passion organising trips to the centre of the universe.
Well if they did this is what would happen.....
1. The programming dept would completely screw up the flight plan and the spaceship would head off in the direction of the Sun
2. Every time the pilot tried to input a command into the flight controls it would ask him to login again
3. Messages from the in-flight computer would appear in random languages
4. The videolink back to earth would say "buffering content" and do nothing else
5. Problem reports sent back to Mission Control would get these standard replies in this sequence.
i) Please open your cargo-doors and dump everything and everyone into outer space
ii) Please try a different spaceship
iii) We'll pass this on to our Technical Dept. (Days later the issue will be resolved... but in doing so, something else will have been broken)
6. When the Captain performs an inspection and walks through the cabin he discovers that 95% of the passengers are inflatable Pamela Anderson dolls. Closer inspections reveals a "Made in Ghana" sign on the doll's ass
7. When one of the passengers asks the Captain how the inflatable dolls managed to get past Immigration Control and onto the spaceship he shrugs his shoulders, says they look genuine to him but will jettison them into outer space anyway
8. Upon removal of the inflatable Pamela Andersons, a secret compartment opens above all the empty seats and down drop loads of inflatable Megan Foxs
9. Back on the Passion travel website they proudly announce that the starship Passion has 1934377538359 passengers despite the fact that the spaceship only has 100 seats.....
