What are potential scam markers for expectant moms on PairTree?

This article describes how PairTree monitors whether expectant moms are truly looking to connect with an adoptive family.

PairTree is committed to providing a platform with less scams for all its families, as scams have become increasingly common.
  • Location – If the location where the expectant mother registered her account doesn't match the location that she claims to be in, it raises a red flag. This helps us ensure that our platform remains scam-free and safe for all users.
  • Due date — If the expectant mother's due date is too far in the future, it may not necessarily indicate a scam but rather reduce the likelihood of placement. 
  • Content Pattern –If the expectant mother's story seems overly dramatic, if she sends pictures right away, if her messages seem like they were copied and pasted, or if her tone is hostile, these are all indicators that raise red flags.
  • Amount of Families – If the expectant mother contacts more families than a certain amount, it will raise a red flag for us to to keep an eye on her continued behavior.
