What’s the easiest way you guys have been able to weed out the people who come across as real and genuine or fake accounts looking for money?


as a long-time user here and on a few other sites like feabie, i would say the absolute biggest red flag to me that someone is not genuine is they have an account that is days or hours old.

now, i almost never transact for anything over the internet. i am an old-school feeder/feedee from the days when we met in person and brought the food with us. for me, someone eating alone in a room is just that... eating. but that's just me - whatever makes other people happy is great for them.

i think the short-term accounts, the deleting and re-joining just screams out "ghosting" to me, or worse, they were "banned" and are sneaking back on.

For me its also the short time the account has been active. When i get a message from an account that is only hours old, I usually dont answer.

The next red flag is asking for food or money before there has been much in-depth getting to know each other kind of discussion.

Female feeder here. While I don't worry about people demanding money from me to the same degree as my male counterparts (and when it happens, it's only because they thought I was a man), I find taking the time to get to know people really helps weed bad actors out. People who want to use you tend to be impatient.

You could also just not send people money, especially ones you’ve never met. Surprisingly I have actually had people offer to send food, money, boost, etc and I do not accept it. As a result I don’t send other people stuff either.

Be interogative and blunt. If the other person cannot respect your need to make sure they are safe, you shouldn't be around them in any case.

talking about weed tends to do it


What do you mean? If it's a fake account they'll leave you alone or do you mean fakers talk about weed?

Sorry if that's a stupid question but humans in general confuse me and I being authentic to a fault myself I tend to assume everyone's honest.

I intellectually know that's not the case, but fall in the trap easily.

Idk im all intimidated by the cyber police, but you can go on and on for hours about different strains. Doctorate level convos with spreadsheets and an entire weed thesis… That usually breaks Vic

Captain Marvel save me from the analytical eagle eyes 🫩


Doesn't sound foolproof. Sounds more like a way to filter out people who don't care so much about weed.
