That is part of branding yourself "No Face .....No Body" Don`t Bother..People like that are Fly By Night....They simply are in the wrong business.... if you ask me...
The twist to this is what about all the well known scammers they show there profile pics every where ? Trust seems to be the problem and trust has to be earnt.

A photo is not a measure of trust. In fact, I would be more likely to trust someone who had no photo, no logo, etc. Why? Think about this...
If 100 people answer this question; 90 of them answer "yes," what then? A scammer sees that 90% of people who answered trust a person with a photo. So the scammer uploads a photo.
Also, at least half of the photos on APSense are fake: celebrity shots, stock photos, etc.
Hi Maketta, I'm offended by your broad statement of calling those who has a certain opinion on this matter "small minded".... please apologize. Your opinion is as valid as anybody else's and I will defend your right to have an opinion, even if I may agree or disagree. That however requires respect and I look forward to your apology.
@Nuke Hatta I have a different outlook completely than you. You say we are quick to judge things and people based on what we see. You are correct. Is that assumption often incorrect? Sure it is.
But..... the internet is not some magical mystical land of make believe. Its as real as the offline world. If you went to have a dinner meeting with a potential business associate, and they showed up wearing a ski mask and refused to show you their face, that IS a valid reason to assume negative things
Truly you jest! Scamming is happening all over the place!!! On FB I had to "unfriend" 5 accounts because they were either "Stolen" identities or accounts of people just looking for handouts. Just a couple of days ago, someone on LinkedIn solicited to me. Yes, it's sad but true. LinkedIn is a social media site for professionals - and you would expect to be treated as such. Some guy requested a connection with me. When I questioned him to tell me more about him, where he worked, etc... He sent bac
@Nuke Hatta. just a question..... how could anyone scam someone if they loaded their photo here? Do those same people not perhaps also have Facebook accounts where they even add pictures of their children?

well, i decided to choose to answer your question for my daily mission because of what one of pre-enrollee in stiforp just informed me minutes ago. Had nothing to do with photo, but this had something to do in the way people easily judge something from "cover" and making prejudice over it too soon. And mostly it will came up, wrong.
What happened is, his card got rejected when he about to pay for payment in stiforp. i haven't yet had clear explanation of what may caused it, but i guess it had
Bottom line is if your on a social networking site that rquires your photo then thats what you do.No photo and alot of people will pass you over.Logo are ok if your McDonalds.Coke,pepsi ect.

I would prefer a photo but it is not a 100% refusal. Just makes me wonder why they wouldn't put up a photo.

More than those that do not place their photo, I dislike those that put a child's photo on.

You need to brand yourself. No photo, no branding. If you don't want people to see who you are, what else are you hiding?
