One man said he had spent more than $300 on credits on the false hope of meeting the women in person: “I must have texted 20 women and was always put off when it was suggested to meet personally,” said one man, who claimed he had spent $64.99 on a site owned by Meteor Interactive.Īnother man said he had “bought over $400 of credits with the understanding that the women were real… my bad at not reading the fine print”, he said. The BBC has seen comments from men online, who said they spent from $300 to $700 on these websites hoping to meet the “women” they were chatting with. Nigerian university student Abiodun (not his real name) is one of many moderators operating fake profiles on dating websites owned by Dutch firm Meteor Interactive BV.Ībiodun switches profiles between the dozens of fake accounts he manages on these websites, but each time he purports to be an attractive young white woman. Months of gathering evidence revealed a global operation which is behind these fake profiles, reaching from The Netherlands to the US, via Suriname to Nigeria, where it may be breaking strict laws on adult digital conduct. Men across the world, like this one, pay hundreds of dollars on adult websites to chat with what they think are attractive young women, but could in fact be anyone, the BBC has found. The client thinks Gingerhoney is nearby but he has no idea that she is actually a man far away, in Nigeria. The client is a 50-year-old man in the US, the attractive young white woman he is chatting with online is Gingerhoney, a model whose profile image shows her lying prone on her bed.
