EP 2425 - Understanding Scammers and Bots on Ashley Madison

In this episode of the Teresa Pod, host Teresa Conway dives into a common frustration for Ashley Madison users—dealing with scammers and confusing auto-generated messages. She breaks down how to recognize scam patterns, avoid falling for fake profiles, and explains the purpose behind Ashley Madison’s system-generated messages.

Episode Highlights:

• Scammer Tactics:

  • Sending flirty messages or photos without viewing your profile.
  • Moving conversations off-site (to WhatsApp, etc.) to ask for money.
  • Geographic inconsistencies and last-minute money requests (e.g., for cabs or transportation).

• Ashley Madison’s Auto-Messages:

  • System-generated messages that simulate interest and encourage users to spend credits.
  • Winks or favorites triggering automatic replies, which can be mistaken for real interactions.

• Key Tips:

  • Avoid moving conversations off the platform too soon.
  • Don’t give out personal information or money to someone you haven’t met.
  • Read messages carefully to detect auto-generated content.

Quotable:

“If it feels too good to be true, it probably is.”
