How to Avoid Fake Dating Profiles in Kenya

Fake dating profiles often use stolen photos, rush intimacy and ask for money. Protect yourself by checking photos, insisting on video calls and never sending money to someone you have not met.

Common signs of a fake profile

Be alert when you see:

Very polished photos and thin details
Reluctance to video call
Quick declarations of love
A sudden emergency that needs money
Stories that change

How to check

Use these habits.

Run a reverse image search on photos.
Ask for a live video call.
Do not share your ID, bank or M-Pesa details.
Meet first in a public place.
Report suspicious profiles to the platform and the police.

Why screening helps

A service that screens applications and checks identity offline reduces fake profiles but cannot remove all risk. RoyalMatch introduces people privately, and you should still follow these steps.
