Who's Behind The Phony Profiles?
A quick way to identify if a dating profile is fictitious is to use reverse image search. With reverse image search you can identify if the image you are looking is located on other sites. This is a very quick way to identify which sites that image profile has been seen on before. Many times when the profile is fake they are actually found on amateur porn sites. In this particular case we found that these two profiles were in fact found on amateur porn sites as well as adult forums. You're probably wondering why there are fake profiles on this site? One thing that could be happening is that "romance scammers" have stolen the images from the porn sites and then created fake dating profiles on IHookup.com. With the fake profiles they are able to lure in unsuspecting men into giving them thousands of dollars. If you want to read more about "romance scammers" please go to Google.
The other thing that could be happening is the dating site is fabricating fake profiles to make it appear as if the site is full of horny local women looking to hook up. rither way you are the one being conned because the women you're looking at on the site are not real and you can never hook up with them because they are not members of the dating service.
Even celebrity photos are being used for the fake female profiles. Courtney Stodden is apparently a member of the site. And her oroginal photo can be found on Examiner.com right here.

Seems like the whole website is one huge fake. I wanted to join as a female and it didn't even allow me to create a female profile within their home page. There was no option. You automatically get a male profile. Then it has fake pop up boxes that females are checking your profile. As a female I know that would not happen to a new profile without a picture.
Then there were the messages from females who surprisingly matched my criteria. Wow what luck! If only they were not fake profiles.
To create a female profile I had to skip the home page and go directly to the register page.
Conclusion: No point using the website. If you are a male, just know that females do not tend to message guys because they are flooded with messages. So do not pay for the membership to view them! They are 100% fake.
