Hopeless

Concerned about seeing certain profiles on some members friends lists even though those members know these profilers are scammers.

One in particular, platino previously entusiasmo in spain using the photos of galina verhot**** in the ukraine. galina works for the wwf so we sent a message to galina, spoke to the wwf offices in london and the usa hq to raise concerns that their employee's photos were being used and because she phoned a swedish friend claiming she was in london and knew us (she doesn't). platino appears to be hiding her profile on cs but the fake photos still show on cs. I don't know why her details have not been removed.

Other members know and reported her profile and a member chris27*****has her on his friend list. The pair of them were involved in a forum thread called the secret lounge started by a member called bluefish.. who has also had various profiles who used this thread along with maxmate*, butterfly*** to accuse other members using their real names and information about them. The odd thing is the troublemakers were allowed to remain on the site while the others were banned for standing up for themselves which raises the question who is running that site exactly?

It seems that there are quite a few problematic people on this site with serious issues and they tend to enjoy stirring and attacking new members or anyone who has an opinion different to them. One of the worse members on there is jac*** who thinks she is superior because of some outdated psychology degree and tolerated at best because she claims she has dyslexia and autism but you cannot believe everything these people say on there. One minute they are friends, then enemies. It's sometimes a ploy for attention and boring.

Some of these members even revive old threads from years back or make threads about members who left. The ones who left are the lucky ones preserving their sanity.

It's disheartening really to see adults behave the way they do. Some of them claim on the public forums they have been victims of incest and/or rape. Who knows but odd to write things like that on public forums? Alot of very sad, lonely attention seeking people on there.

What makes me laugh is that it does not take long to find out who is who as they are all pals on another networking site. Some of them have nothing better to do than plot behind the scenes there next veiled attacks on members. Maybe that's why things got out of hand with the secret lounge thread. They are all as bad as each other really.

Pros
A few nice people but not a very welcoming place in spite of appearances.

Cons
Scams

M/F members looking for newbies like it's varsity freshers week.

old crew

Big problems with a member called catsy who wants to befriend me and find out a curious bit of information because she was on cs before and her profile was deleted along with another member for scamming.

Is she who she says she is now? One of her friends ali.... has had many profiles archived as legend3 etc.

Pros
Not sure what the problem is but not seeking a mate anymore

Cons
A disaster area for scams waiting to happen

cs has a lot of old crew members are all holier than thou and contradict themselves! The place needs a clean sweep of all the old crew members and encourage newer younger members

Disappointing not a whole lot of action there

May require using a translator

SCAM!!!

The worst online dating scam EVER!

Pros
none!

Cons
a total fake and a complete rip off!

STAY AWAY

This has got to be the worst site ever. All the woman either live in Iceland or are fake, fake, fake. Do NOT hand over any money to this site.

Pros
None.

Cons
Fake, fake, fake.

tagged.com review

So I was approached by a recruiter to work for tagged.com so I did some research. Tagged.com does have a lot of good things. It is sort of like a 1 shopping place for all your social needs. The difference between them and facebook is that they allow you to meet new people instead of staying in touch with older friends.


The interface is alright and easy to navigate through. I am a designer with a usability background so I do know what I am talking about. One thing I do see about this site is it can come out as looking kind of sleezy. You are suppose to meet new people so you randomly browse people and send them a message like most dating sites. Because of this the best people do not join this site. It kind of becomes a hook up site. I did some testing. I messaged 20 people, just a simple "hi" and I got "NO" responses which allows me to believe there is also a lot of fake people on the site to make them look bigger then they are. They say there are 100 million users and I am betting maybe closer to 1 million. Also coming from a game background I can tell you their new games are awful. They have a very poor interface, very confusing, and just ugly, especially if you compare them to some of the social games Facebook has. If they were smart they would fire all their designers that make their games.


What they should do is make it less of a dating site. Meetup.com has a really good look and feel to meeting new people. They should allow people to set up groups and invite people to the groups and then that can go on the user's google calendar. They should get rid of the random browsing feature. Get rid of the ugly feature for users to change their background. That was bad on myspace and bad on tagged. If you want to offer your users some control then have them add widgets, badges or apps to their page. Fire your designers and hire people with talent. The whole pet thing is so cheesy. I do like the idea of award and earning money but buying people is so stupid.

Pros
. It is sort of like a 1 shopping place for all your social needs. The difference between them and facebook is that they allow you to meet new people instead of staying in touch with older friends.

Cons
Just another sleezy dating site where you get lots of spam if you sign up. The games they make are just awful.

xxxmatch is the best adult dating site i've tried

there are sure a lot more guys on the site than there are girls but the ratio is still better there than it is at adultfriendfinder. all in all, great site

mostly looking for local japanese or caucasian

I've tried joining japancupid. Most of the girls here only looking for caucasian or local japanese. They won't hook up with other asian guys.

Pros
lots of pretty cute girls

Cons
girls only look for japanese or caucasian

AVOID - They sell your address to spammers too

Yes I used the word speeddate in the email address I gave them and behold. I am now getting DOZENS and DOZENS of spam mails to that address with speeddate in it's title. rnTruly a dodgy website AVOID

no way to contact

Site seems to be a nice site. I like that it is geared towards people in our great years. Everyone basically in the same stage of life and searches bring up people in your area not 100 miles away as being local.

Cons
Reason I would not recommend the site, nothing stating it is a secured site for visa payment transactions, and no way to call them and do this over the phone.
They most likely are overseas collecting the mula and dont want anything but the almighty dollar, is why I left.

SWINDLE

A good place for prisons to make a profit off YOU and the INMATE. And an excellent outlet for a convict to lie to get your money

Cons
see above

Scam

Do not fall for this site. I put a profile and after 24 hours I have received over 50 messages. On checking who viewed my profile none had seen it. How come I have received this amount of messages and not a single one of these women checked my profile? :( :( :(

Pros
no pros

Cons
scam site

this is a legit site

yes this is a good site and is legit,Thay dont try to up sell you anything and dont send you fake women that want to meet you just to get you to sine up. more men that women but i chated with some good women and some snots . and the price is good .

Pros
it is real and legit but slow but real women dont jump on anything that comes there way anyway.if you give respect you some times get it back

Cons
none not at all

Huge time waster!

AYI is fun, entertaining and addictive for some as an upside.
Members are Global as is Face Book.
The downside that is huge IS the majority of women, perhaps 90% are non paying members that can view male profiles BUT cannot respond to messages other than YES and maybe send a gift and prescripts that are computer generated !
Coding email address' does not work unless you are some kind of geek!
BTW, email address' are removed by AYI !
I have met "tons" of women at the site but again it is a major push; 100 match ups versus thousands of hits and I mean thousands!!
one star on a good day!

SCAM

I tried their trial membership some time back .... Amazing how I had so many women wanting to message, talk and hook-up... then when I purchased a membership, they all went away. Some profiles were not there anymore, others were women from all over the world .... I responded to all of them and no response.

Don't waste your money or time!

Ohhh and paid for membership does not work most of the time. Log in is a bitch!

Pros
none

Cons
its a con

SCAM!

I was with this sight since about a week after it has started many years ago. Amazing how I had so many women wanting to message, talk and hook-up... then when I purchased a membership, they all went away.

I kept my profile with this site for many years (not paying) and they grandfathered me in for a free membership for a couple years. So many profiles and no responses.

About 2 years ago they upgraded their site to FULL SCAM. They removed my membership completely and then claimed how great they were and how you will get laid .... I find getting women is far easier at the local supermarket :)

Many profiles were not there anymore, others were women from all over the world .... Some women had 10+ profiles .. same pic different screen name.

Don't waste your money or time!

Pros
none

Cons
take the money you want to pay them with and wipe your ass with it. Far better use of your hard earned money.

They will con you into paying and then good luck having contact with anybody. Many false profiles or multiple profiles of the same person.

5 Stars

I admit, the concept is pretty risque. I was skeptical, I wanted to find a date, not go into escorting service. But living in NYC, dating is EXPENSIVE. Cabs to and fro, and dinner in the city is pretty pricey. I was tired of the flakes and men on other sites who were not meeting my expectations and draining my wallet from all the effort it took me to get to our dates. My friend suggested WhatsYourPrice.com, she actually found her ex-boyfriend on their, and is still using it to find dates. What happens is, guys who are legitimately interested in you will make an offer on a first date for you. If I feel like I may have a connection with someone, I will accept the offer, but only ask for enough to make it worthwhile (like cab fare, new outfit, etc). Some of these guys I would maybe not have give then time of day to in a normal setting, but was able to get to know some great guys through whatsyourprice.com. I have gone out on 6 first dates, and getting ready to go on my 6th date with one of them. I am very happy with this site and would recommend it to any girl who isn't happy with other sites.

Pros
Most people are genuine, and actually want to get to know you.

Cons
There are few creeps, just like anywhere else, be smart though and don't put up with people's crap.

is it real

girls who winked or tried to contact me before i paid to join now do not respond when i try to reply to them even when they are online.i wonder if they were really interested or was this just a gimmick to get me to become a paid member.

Pros
it would be good if women who flirt with u r real and reply

Cons
i haven't made contact with anyone,as many as ten,who winked,flirted or tried to contact me before i paid for plantinum membership

con job

complete con job. signed up for 3 month trial period and they are billing me for a YEAR. Even after cancelling and deactivating the account I am getting billed. This is a total fraud. Do not sign up.

Pros
none.

Cons
complete con job.

Hated It

Quite frankly, ALL THIS IS, IS A PORN SITE! It was highly recommended by a friend. Whom right now due to steering me to this site I am not talking to right now. I mean I tried to get past all the penis' and this so called "FREE GIFT" They give you a c**k ring. It probably busts EVERY gay cliche there is.

Not to mention ANY email I got on this site was from people 39+ years of age, who wanted to have sex with me.

I got one email from a man "Hey sexy lemme kno if u wanna f**k me" And the actual email was nonetheless and for lack of a better word DISGUSTING in itself. On my page it said "I AM NOT LOOKING FOR SEX! I am looking for a relationship."

I am an old fashioned dater. ANd quite frankly all this site is for is "Hey lets meet up for one night stands."

This has to be the most disgusting site I have ever been on. I would rather pay for EHarmony or Match rather than go on this site ever again

Pros
There are NO Pros to this site

Cons
totally pornographic, full of jail bait chasers, disgusting people, disgusting imagery, rude people

SPEEDATE SCAM

Watch out. SpeedDate is ripping off people. It should be reported to the BBB.

Lots of Fake profiles

I've looked at this site and its sister sites. Yes there are way too many fake profiles. There may be some actual users but they are few and far between. The owners of the site in the terms and conditions claim copyright on your photos and even admit to using them to create profiles on their other sites. Also the prices are too high. Yes you can join for free, but then you can't do jack shit.

At least on other sites like Plenty of Fish you can actually use the site for free. And there are actual people on there.

Pros
None

Cons
Everything

Complete Scam

I think there are probably a few genuine people on the site. But plenty of fake profiles too. Also note:
- A lot of the profiles are old, people haven't logged in for ages
- You can't do anything without handing over a lot of cash, there are better / cheaper alternatives
- You can't browse without signing up
- They reuse profiles from their massive network of dating sites
- Steal and reuse your data


Conclusion the site is run by greedy scamming aussies. Don't waste your time.

Pros
Maybe a few genuine profiles.

Cons
Lots of old and fake profiles. Not too many genuine active users. The site just plain sucks.

AVOID - Like the plague

Total waste of money. You pay for meaningless messages generated by people when they join the site and are then sent on to numerous unfortunate members. Most of these messages come from people joining other sites for other reasons. They are probably regretting it too.

Pros
None.

Cons
It is a scam site. Agree with all the negative comments above.

Blackscene Bogus site

Blackscene is a bogus site. I have been a paying member for a month now and the same 2 people are always online and i cant reach anybody on it to mingle with. They charged me 4 times for a single transaction so i had to get that straight. I can't even get a view from anybody. They have my money and i cannot navigate and get any responses or even a view. Everything is suspended it seems and they will not fix. You can spend your money and find out the hard way like i did if you wanna. once in awhile i will click on my profile to see if anything has changed.....nothing but the same 2 people.rnI am on a couple of other dating sites also and i get views and flirts everyday. But with Blackscene...nothing. absolutely nothing. I know i have been had and that's the sad part.rnMaybe somebody knows something that i don't about how to activate this site as it is sleeping on me. better off going with those sites that are advertised on TV.

Pros
No pros

Cons

Not cutting it

I been here on and off for a few years and each time I pay for the site I kick myself...my butt is sore and I am not renewing and I dont suggest you do either. As for services all the complaints are true. I also find there isnt just old but probably fake profiles.

What a WONDERFUL site!!

If you weed out the Normal people, from the scammers, liars, and wack WEIRDOS.. Than you'd enjoy this site very much! I know there is a lot of fake posers on here but there are just as much real AMAZING people as well. Going thru a rough spot in my life, I met an awesome man on here who really helped me deal with things! Now back for round 2, I will give it another shot & hopefully land another cool person.. Overall this site is nice, and very well laid out. I suggest this to anybody who is looking for this type of stuff!!

YO HE HAD CRABZZZ!!!

I waz like al readdy 4 a gud time, bu then the guy he lyk smeledd likke fukin goats or sumtin. We hadd sexx in da batrum of a denny's an he dinn even buy me no pancake brekfest or nuttin. Then ah found out he hadd da crabbzzz. DA CRABZZZZ!!! YO SUM NASTY ASS SHIT!!! DEFFS NOT WURTH IT 4 $13.

Pros

Cons

The best dating site for Chinese I found so far.

Lots of users, lots of communication. Very nicely designed!

all fake!!!

check other reviews online, all the women here are fake or prostitutes. most will not reply and some will redirect u to other dating site or cam sites. Avoid like plague!

Pros
u can see some naked photos.

Cons
100% FAKE and they are very dishonest about it. Avoid!!!

scam?

been on the site and seems like as soon as you upgrade u dont hear from any of the people.just wondering if anyone else had this problem?i hate being scammed and if this site is a scam i will investigate and and do what it takes to shut it down.beware of this site!

Extremely Fraudulent company

I never even visited the before now but they tried 3 times to charge my credit card. Gortunately, my credit card company intercepted the fraud and called me for verification.

I know that we should encourage free enterprise and capitalism, but such fraudulent companies should be shut down for good to protect innicent people

Pros
None

Cons
Fradulent site abd should be flagged and taken out!

Scammer

Don't pay for this service. Or else you will be sorry. Under no condition even if it is Speeddate's fault will you receive a refund. They are the worst company in term's of customer service. Be sure to check out their reviews on the Better Business Bureau. Over 89 cases where there were billing errors.

Pros
Entertainment

Cons
Scamming company, and many fake profiles. Non refundable policy.

Plenty of Fisher SUCKS!!!

If you are looking to hook up with hot guys this is the site. But be careful, most are unemployed, very shady. Con men. For Sex this is good but nothing else.

Pros
If you want a one night stand this is the site for you.

Cons
Fake PicturesrnCon MenrnUnemployed people wanting money

Not Worth It

I joined and found it a waste of time. I thought it was a fast and convenient way for two parties to get what they wanted. My experience is limited, I only met one young woman, so I grant proponents of SA that. However the woman I met wanted $200 for "rent" on our initial meeting at a casual restaurant. I gave her half and then she indignantly emailed me asking where the other $100 was.

I acknowledge that $200 is not a lot of money. It's typical for a nice dinner out for two people. Still I was rubbed the wrong way by her approach.

I just think there are other ways to meet attractive women without having to engage in some type of arrangement where you are expected to pay a woman thousands of dollars a month. I met a very attractive woman on Facebook, who is a model and a friend of a mutual friend. We've met a couple of times and had a great time. Naturally I paid for everything but there was no explicit understanding that she requires more than that...

Pros
Attractive women

Cons
Waste of money
Waste of time
Lots of nice, attractive women out there who are just happy to be with a kind, wealthy guy without an understanding that there is money involved

Ms

Would not recommend site at all, I joined another dating site, somehow details got onto this site.......within an hour I had over 250 responses......this site is a risk......very sexually, rape waiting to happen !!!

Junk!!!

Join them if you want a nanny keeping an eye on all your moves. Same pictures of girls over a year!!! possibly fake? There are better websites elsewhere.

Pros
None

Cons
Too many to list.

no

(6) my friend is useing speed date and everytime he uses it and meets someone, they turn out to be crazy people. examples, one told him on the phone (first time she called him) said that she wanted his baby. another one met him, then went home because her "work" called and said she had to work, but only her family told her she has to work. then she called him asking for a phone card, he bought her it and she never called back. his bank account went to over 150$ in the whole, not to mention overdraft fees.

i do not recommend this site for anyone who is trying to find a person to be with. honestly it seems less risky to find someone in an ally then this site.

Pros
you may find another person that is not so crazy and actually wants a relationship. but the odds are slim

Cons
crazy people. seems like it takes your money.

Not bad

Unlike most sites, this one is far better at finding relevant people and not a selection of random people, 95% of who are completely terrible. It is also free. The only real issue is that when sending a message, you will just about never get a reply from anyone, even if active.

Pros
-Has an actual matching system
-Free
-Lots of members

Cons
-You will get fairly few replies

Bull shit

A lot of fake accounts / profiles on this site !!
The owner contacts you through these fake profiles to make you pay.
Even the few real accounts are by ppl using fake pictures claiming it's them !!

Here is an example stupidly done.
This is the same girl but from different country, name and age.

1) Female / Single / ID: 2171380
2) Female / Single / ID: 3123430

sheck it up on muslima site

Pros
No pros..

Cons
see review

complete scam

been a member for an hour and already had 3 messages... one from an inactive member!!! when i clicked on her profile, it says "Nikki's account has been deactivated and is no longer in use".... errr, so how did she send me a message????

clearly a scam but so blatant its almost funny... needless to say i didn't waste my money by upgrading.

defo avoid!!!

Pros
none

Cons
everything

Take your time

First of all, I found a great guy from this site. He has wonderful personality, decent job, career,degrees and great family. We are so happy to have each other. And also I found my former coworker who is handsome with great personality. I know He really wants to have serious relation ships. There's a people who really want to find love. But, I also find guy who is infamous as gigolo in Hawaii. And some of guys are weird and rude.

Anyways, watch out ladies! Don't trust guys so easy. You should talk a lot and think about it. You should see his coworkers, friends, family and more. I'm not a gold digger, but the guy can't take care of you, just please stay away from the losers.

Addition, watch out gentlemen! There's a ton of psycho chicks too.

Conclusion is please choose your safety first. Get to know each other and if you feel something wrong, please move on asap. There's a true nice people, but fake bad people also exist.

Probably a fake - added a couple of actual responses

Never having been on a bride dating web site, I wanted to believe....As the first response said about template - totally true...Below is a response I received.

I see you had a great celebration. I am really happy for you, Mike!! I hope you had a great time! ))) Our Independence Day is on the 24 of August. But I heard in USA it is the biggest holiday of the year! And is celebrated very brightly! Here in Ukraine it doesn't have such pathos! ))) I am healthy and well, Mike! I would like to talk to you on line sometime. I think chat is more vivid conversation where we can ask all the questions and have all the answers! Hugs!!! Sincerely, Yana

Hello Yanna, I hope that you are well? I haven't heard from you in a while and am worried that something happened to you. Hopefully talk of actually meeting didn't scare you away. I hope that you are only on vacation and weren't able to respond. Otherwise the only thing exciting happening here is next weekend is July 4th (Independence day) and I am going to the river with a bunch of freinds. At last count there were going to be 7 boats, 12 jet skis, and someone is bringing a paraglider. I won't be able to waterski/ wake board by this weekend, but I am hoping to get a ride in the paraglider. I have never been in one before, but they have always looked interesting and it will be a different perspective of the river. Hoping that you are healthy and well and your heart is still available for me ;-)


This one is a little more confusing - The top one is obvisouly a form letter, sent from the same girl - 15 minutes apart...

I know that this is a little long for a review but....
1. I suspect that all of the letters are form letters that automatically insert your name.
2. Of the 7 girls I talked to , none of them were able to make skype work and they all avoided the question of paying the agency for their info.
3. Out of curiousity, once I said that I had booked a flight, the relationship changed and we couldnt meet.
4. None would send me an email outside of this site or Skype with me.
5. Would love to contact them on Anastasia and see if they are really answering both sites.

Nasty People

The management of Connecting Singles has one rule they consistently enforce, don't criticize the management of Connecting Singles. Other than that it's pretty selective. Fake photos on forums? You'd think they would know what Rowen Atkison or Mel Gibson looks like wouldn't you? Hell I've seen pictures of women stolen from ads that display on CS used in profiles stay up for months.

As several others have said the worst of the worst is the forums. Supposedly hate speech is not permitted. Not so. If you are raging against certain groups is is OK with Connecting Singles Owners.

That my friends is freedom of speech. Complain though and that is not alright. In such cases you are the one who is the problem that must and will be dealt with.

So if you are an upper middle class liberal male with the mentality of a 12 Y O boy join up. You've found your home on line. If not and you still insist on joining and using the forums you will have a large target painted on you back and all the moderators will do about it is pass out rock and freshen up the paint on the target every so often.

If they are playing a game to rip off Google ads with fake profiles I hope Google ruins them financially for it in court.

Pros
None

Cons
Abusive trolls in the forums with no discipline from so called moderators.

Muslima.com is NOT a good website!

I would not recommend this website to any muslim. I mean there are a few cute people on here, but most of them are older 30. & they keep looking and are interested in you/ your profile. the "filter" messages does not work, you can not delete your pictures, They have the right to use/produce your pictures(it says so in there terms and conditions). You cant read messages if your a standard user, its gay. I liked someone on this website but i could not contact them in anyway because we were both standard users. I suggest not to use any dating websites. we are forbidded to date and if Allah wills, you will find your love without a dating website. Inshallah I will be deleting my account soon.
Be safe & for this website actually read the terms and conditions, youll be suprised.
May Allah be With You.

Pros
Nothing . . maybe a few cute boys.

Cons
Nobody actually wants to get married, and if they do there like 80 years old and they just message you saying they want to get married with you , and its creepy because you dont even know them.

Engineer

I dunno when i joined muslim 4 marriages but every other day i get a reply from girls saying they are interested, couldn't remember how many of these women are indian, US, and spanish actresses. This is a total scam they just want me to join and pay them money which i never did. I have on several occasion tried closing and cancelling my account but they just don't close it.

I would ask everyone to stay away from this website and never to give them a single penny

Pros
nothing

Cons
total scam
everything about this website is a scam

mrs

I found the site hard work, lots of men looking for sleazy meetings or timewasters who were not prepared to meet up but wanted the 'fun' of the chase.

I joined the site to meet someone to build a relationship based on the time both can spare, without damaging each others situation. I have found few men looking for more than a daliance. Its not about a life changing love affair but an addition to what you have at home, however the fantasy can be fun.

I am genuinely only looking for a lover to add to my life, its a shame the men think they are there to be ensnared and tricked by the women.

The men need to stop chatting and ask the women for a coffee.

Pros
easy to use

free for women

Cons
sleazy men

time wasters

SpeedDate.com is a bunch of crooks

Reading the rest of your reviews, I cound myself lucky that I didn't tryst their invasive information-stealing crap. They have absolutely no reason to give stupid popup announcements every time you attempt to talk with someone and haven't paid them yet. Thankfully, I gave them no useful information. Considering the fact that they try to shake you down every time someone looks at your profile, I'm considering speeddate.com the equivalent of pimps in an electronic prostitution ring. I should save my money for a lap dance with a happy ending, as it's less irritating and less time consuming than their stupid site.

Pros
Not a thing.

Cons
Pretty much what everyone else says.

Horrible Online Dating Site!

I have had a horrible experience with Singles of Faith also. No responses to emails, majority of the profiles incomplete which leads me to believe that many people were just browsing and not true members. I was very disappointed and requested a refund. Again I did not receive any responses from them. Instead I was denied access and they kept my money. Now 3 months later they charged my account again. I have not had any access to this website and they continue to charge me. My next step is to contact the Better Business Bureau and the Attorney General. This is unacceptable customer service for any business but especially one that claims to be Christian. Stay away from this site if you don't want to be Unequally Yoked!(N)

Pros
NONE!!

Cons
Nonexistent customer service, majority of profiles filled out by people just browsing and not actively using site, no responses to emails, waste of time and money...and money...and money (they keep charging your account).

It's OK site

Someone here said he sent 50 interents to women on the site but no one replied to him. I think that happened because he is not an attractive man at all. That's not because of JC or women...
Many guys on JC post unattractive pictures. I'm not talking about you are not handsome or something. I mean some of them are not smiling at all in the pics or some pictures are taken in messy rooms. Nobody wants to see someone who doesn't smile and go to dirty rooms to see boys.
You should care more about profile pictures. They are important if you really want to get to know women!

Marital Affair.co.uk - It's a scam

I pretty much agree with all the comments above both male and female.

They are using auto generated emails for messaging and I suspect auto creation of profiles.

You think the clue would be in the name, but there are a few genuine poor souls who seem to be looking to love (rather than casual sex), presumably sucked in from a parallel singles site. God help them....

Total rip off. Save your cash.

Pros
None

Too many fake profiles!

I am an Attractive Korean-American that have no problems meeting girls but I decided living in Arizona, there are not enough Korean girls to choose from. So I decided to expand my search. It is very obvious when you see pics that are professionally taken by a photographer and the girl is a model. Typically they have one or very few pics. Their profiles say absolutely nothing revealing about them. They all pretty much say the same thing: very short and concise. I feel it is a con to get people to sign up! I have sent message and even tried to chat live with the ones I found attractive (my standards are high) and none ever respond. However, they keep sending me they are interested me messages!

Pros
None! Just pretty girls to look at that you can never get a hold of because they don't exist!

Cons
Everything!

crooks

ive talked to people on speeddate there all from other city's i dont know if this is a real site. I wouldn't recommended it to anyone. A waste of 39.99

Pros
none

Homophobics Welcome!

The last few days CS had had a troll on the forums spewing anti-gay and lesbian crap. Despite several member complaints that the threads violate Connecting Singles "no hate speech" rule the threads and the poster are not removed.

Sadly this is not a new thing. Some of the regular trolls delight in using names like faggot and dyke regularly in the threads.

Apparently in the opinion of Connecting Singles parent company some of us are alright to hate.

Perhaps if they would be more open about their own bigotries they could find their niche market and really succeed.

Pros
You don't have to pay for the abuse.

Cons
Middle school mentality, bigotry, ignorance and bad manners not only tolerated but encouraged by the moderators of the forums.

Have no idea

I m using this site since 1 month , no breakthrough

Pros
Its Free

Cons
Risk of finding crooks

Former Member of Arablounge

Steer away from this site. I've been on and off this site for 11 years now, I know it pretty well.

Some of the members are just looking to hook-up and have no interest whatsoever in a long term committment. Even though they will swear by Allah that they do.

Other members are scam artists who are either married, unemployed, or want your money.

The rest are either very loose in their Islam or rather are only Muslim by name OR they pretend to be ultra conservative. There's no happy medium. There are no normal people on this site.

In my 11 years I did not meet a single decent man.

Pros
None.

Cons
Scam artists, liars, people looking to just pass time, people who have no actual relation to Islam or Arab culture at all, people who are ultra conservative and hold weird beliefs, and people who are on their looking for sex. Yes, they are looking for sex on an ARAB site...and they find it. There are a ton of girls on there that portray porn like pictures and yet their profiles are not being removed.

scams

i got scam. there's a person by the name of [email protected] or mark caitlin kurz trying to get money from people specially women on date sites..help not to let him get away with it ..

Cons
there not makeing sure people are screen to be real..

Ms

I think afrointroductions is a scam, alot of people are only interested in getting a visa or moving to the US. Be careful very careful

not a good website

great website if you like getting scammed or watching trolls argue in the forums

Pros
cheaper then renting a zombie, troll or drama movie

Cons
bullies, trolls and website moderators who cater to the select few trolls who run the forums

Do not waste your time and money!!!

This site sucks big time.
The site is called Japan Cupid, but has people posted from China, America, Africa, Russia and Europe.

My so called matches did not match my profile, they did not even come close!

Many of the posted females whose pictures appear suddenly never return online.

Please be very careful don't send money or post your picture or you may just find yourself appearing on some other website adverting gay males.

Dont make the same stupid mistake I did. Why have these people been left to operate this scam for so long?

Pros
Nothing good to be found at this site.

I suspect no one is real and after reading the so called positive feedback that has been posted here,very much doubt these people exist either!

The site is all about taking money from vulnerable males.

Cons
Everything, "do not post your picture" either as it will be used in some other internet scam.

I have now had to set up new email accounts and checked my PC for viruses and many other threats that may have breached my security.

I have received 18 spam emails to date.

Con DO NOT TOUCH WITH A BARGE POLE

false profile have checked thie by redomly sending specific questions and get unrelated answers, alsomessage you get are the same on some profiles had 2 messages same day both 9 miles away both exactly same message coincidence you make your mind up. had about 50 messages replied to them not 1 reply yet they sent me messages?
DO NOT JOIN SAVE YOUR MONEY

speed date is getting over

speed date has to be the most illegal legitimate business on the web. they just accused me of authorizing a subscription for 191 dollers how could they do this when i sighned up for a 50 cent subscription a long time ago when there was not nothing on my card and as soon as i found out about this i cancelled my card immediately i went to look threw my email accounts and i did not find anything containing a confirmation number nor receipt every site does this for proof of purchase so why hasn't speed date accomplish the same things

Speed Date ripoff

I was notified by my credit card issuer that a charge for $191.40 to Speeddatecom was trying to be placed on my card. They had put a hold on it and advised me of the attempted charge. I had never even heard of this company so I declined the charge. I contacted Speeddate.com to advise them of this fraud. The email I received was one that said they "did not recognize" my email address and wanted me to sign up so they could address the issue..obviouly they did not care.. buyer beware..

Pros
None

Cons
Not very honest or concerned about their product

Mrjonnie

Ok the same thing happened to me. I noticed that when you are signing up for the service, they keep you distracted with pop-ups and shit. It clearly states that a membership costs 50 cents. Then when you sign up, they smack you over the head with this 191 dollar bullshit! I called and the guy wouldn't even let me speak to his boss. That's because there isn't a boss. These guys obviously run this sight from their basement because in the background I could hear another guy arguing about the same thing with a different person! He thinks that because they are members of the BBB that makes them reputable. Anyone that owns a business that is registered to do business in their state can register with them for a small fee! You don't even have to be an honest business owner to get in either! If I cant put a stop pay on the pending transaction then I'm thinking of filing a lawsuit. I was cheated and mislead and when I asked for a refund I wasn't given one. I then asked why and where is there policy agreement on the sight that states that. I was told that since I already signed up that I cant read the policy information unless I create a dummy account.

Pros
That they will probably get sued and disbanded soon if not by me then someone that wants to see them go down.

Cons
That these ppl and their website is fraudulent and misleading. There are dummy profiles that have girls that are clearly visible on other websites in adds and probably copy and paste most of the pictures and input info about the girls themselves. These ppl probably watch all the information that ppl are sending to these dummy profiles and laughing while they rip you for all the money that they can. I feel like an idiot and this sight is a prime example of why I don't date online because ppl like this take advantage of guys and maybe even girls that are too busy to date traditionally. I will make it a point not to ever date on a sight that costs money to meet ppl. The only thing that these guys have over any man or woman looking for a date online is a website that one of them designed themselves, so why should I pay 200 bucks to meet a girl that I could get on the weekend downtown?

minneapolis is the worst

i have tried over and over again and have been ripped off everytime by the ladies of Minnesota on that site. the second they get the money they fly the coup leaving me sad and rejected and out lots of money.

be wary

ill say the site does have some scams but there are real people on it as well. be wary of JP girls who message you and seem to be a little agressive. had 1 girl respond back to an email i had sent. first email from her seemed a lil strange, but nothing to bad, she was just a lil to forward, 2nd email kinda the same a lil to forward but figured id go with it. even went as far as giving me an alternate email and she stated that "she didnt want to use JPcupid because we had met". definitely got my doubts going, well emailed the other address and she replied once again. finalyy 4th email from her she stated that her computer had a virus and i could only contact her at another website.....there it was, had to pay to use that site. that ended that. I replied to the email to ask WTF (i knew it was a scam already, just wanted to play with it a lil more)and what do you know it didnt work and then her JPcupid profile mysteriously wasnt avail.
However there are real people on the site as well, got a # and have been talking with another person....where this one goes only time will tell.
Id say of course the site will have some scams on it, but there are people on it as well. I think though that if you want to meet a JP girl youd be better off going out and trying to meet one in person.

Pros
hmmmmm

Cons
scams, poor qual of women

veronikalove

veronika love is nothing but a scam!!!!!! Give me back my money ass holes!

Pros
f--k off

Cons
This site sucks! They lie, cheat and steal any money they can from the men looking for real love! The review above is right on the money. I used the site for awhile until I found out all the girls I wrote to were not the girls I thought I was writing to! I was getting answers from the person on the other end receiving my letters that's all! The person on the other end wrote better english than I do! Russian ladies and russian language have translations problems and will be written and spoken with broken english unless they grow up speaking english! Veronikalove stole my money and my faith. Screw you bastards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

M

Michelle?s professionalism in making the process of meeting new people pleasant and effortless is second to none.

Great personalized approach, deep understanding of client?s goals, quality matchmaking, tailored follow-up all bundled in a fun, easy to communicate, attentive way.

A very refreshing way to pairing people based on great human skills and talent!

Pros
all good

Cons
none

someone who cares about rights

Look out gentlemen for this site, the ladies and the agency. They will take you for anything you want to give them!

Pros
Nice site to get your attention, but that's all!

Cons
Cons! This site is all about cons! The ladies I wrote to, 6 out of 8 were cons! They lied about everything and they were not there to find husbands, they were there to see what they cound get from who ever was a big enough sucker to give them something. I don't know if they were making money off the letters, but they all were looking only for gifts and if it writing continued, I bet money would have been asked for. I was dumb enough to start but wised up to end all relationships with the ladies and veronikalove. I did send flowers to 4 of them and found the arrangments were nothing like pictured, only cheap 3 to 6 flowers delivered to ladies I didn't recognize from their pictures posted. The ladies use pictures from when they were 17 or 18 years old if the pictures were them to start with. A big joke on me and on you if you use this site! beware!!!!!! Oh and try to ask them where their offices are! See how many times you have to ask ans find out that they don't have offices or atleast one you will ever see! I have afriend in Ukraine and he tried to find two ladies for mt with the information they gave me, no one heard of them at the places they said they worked. so again, beware of this site and this agency.

Site is a ripoff

This dating site is a complete sham and rip off. Would have to say many profiles aren't real and I would suspect they are paying people. Stay away from this site.

Pros
None lots of fake profiles

Cons
Its a fraud

Worst Site On The Planet

This is the absolute worst site for dating ever! The women are DANGEROUS. First of all they ALL lie...they'll swear they are being truthful...DON'T BELIEVE THEM. If you're in the market for lonely, deparate women who want nothing more than to "hook" someone...this is the place for you. My experience was horrible. I dated a few women whom I thought were normal from our conversations...NOT! First of all, if their profile says average body type...that means VERY OVER WEIGHT. They make POF their profession to hook someone...don't be fooled. Lonely, deparate women who can't meet someone by any other means flock to this site. Guys...hide your wallets!!!

Pros
NONE

Cons
Women are all liars
Fake Profiles
Site should be called Plenty of Degenerates
Profiles deleted at will with no explanation

Overall successful

I started using the site in mid 2008. After a couple of false starts meeting up with a couple of women, I had a four month arrangement. Sexually fun, but she was as dumb as a bag of rocks, so I ended it. After a few months off I went back and eventually hooked up with a wonderful girl who put up with me for 17 months. The best sex I ever had with anyone, including my wife, and I grew very fond of her. Unfortunately she got too busy with work and school and I ended it after too many cancellations. I went back a month later and within two weeks met up with about 8 girls, all fantastic.

This site is the real deal if YOU'RE the real deal. Otherwise it's a waste of time. I agree that most of the people on the site are phonies.

Pros
Lots of girls to choose from. Billing is on a 30-day basis (no automatic rebilling!)

Cons
Too many phonies. Not an online chat tool.

JapanCupid.com -?

I've been a member of this website for a couple of weeks, and found that no one really looks at my profile. Some guys just seem to have a glance at my photos and send me inetersts and messages but it's rather annoying to receive dozens of them from people whom I excluded from my wish lists. I understand that nothing will happen without any effort.

In my view as a Japanese girl, many guys here seem to simply fancy Japanese/ Asian girls to be nice and innocent, or sluts in a stereotypical way. But, what do they really want? Job opportunities in Japan or having sex just as they see in Japanese porns in retube? Guys without any good and/ reasonable reasons and amount of effort (invest as someone said) will not find a good match on any dating websites anyway.

Pros
I can't tell

Cons
As menstioned above.
There are some obvious fake IDs. You should make some friends who can share this kind of information.

website review

I tried this website. It is full of fake profiles and pictures. They claim they have thousands of members but it is not true. Some activities also made suspecious. They don't allow you to delete pictures once they are posted (think about that for a second). You can hide the pictures but not delete them. In addition, the site is expensive if you are going to trust the administrators with your credit card number (I wouldn't).

Pros
None that I can think of.

Cons
fake profiles
expensive
suspecious administration
can't delete your own pictures
lies about number of members

Speeddate.com - Cookies?

I keep hearing from people who received emails from me saying that I friended them on Speeddate. I never did any such thing. Some of these folks aren't even on the site. It's obviously some kind of cookie that's getting into my address book, but I need it to stop before I alienate too many other people. WTF is with this site??

Pros
Not one

Cons
A complete waste of money and unethical as well.

Horrible Horrible website

What a horrible website. There are guys but I can't seem to find them via zip code. And what's worse they expect the females to pay. Don't this website know that us girls are the reason why men visit their website? And when there are so many free websites around, to expect the females to pay to join is ridiculous.

I've met many guys on this website that frankly do not know that being a Sugar Daddy means giving a sugar baby an allowance, and / or pampering a sugar baby with money. Almost 90% of the guys who contacted me wants a committed long term relationship or marriage!!!!

If you're looking for marriage, perhaps you should not join a "Sugar Daddy" website???

Pros
None

Cons
Poor design
Women must pay
Not enough guys who understand how to be sugar daddies

It's the best

Not sure where all these bad reviews are coming from. I've met 2 sugar daddies on SeekingArrangement in the two times I have been using the website. It works, and most of the guys are real. I actually met one of the riches man in the world on there, it was actually pretty cool.

I think for those of you who have not had much success, it is likely because (a) you don't know what you are looking for, or (b) you aren't gorgeous enough to be a sugar baby.

And for all those reviews that point to another dating website, I kind of think that is a blatant attempt at promoting your own website. I'd suggest those scheming marketing people to get a life and to try to get actual real coverage for their website by respectable media.

I came across SeekingArrangement while watching 20/20, and I've not regretted that since then. I guess if you have any questions, you can reach out to the founder of the website on Facebook, and he'll probably answer your question personally.

Good luck you sugar seekers.

Pros
I found 2 arrangements from the website.

Cons
I wish there was a private chat or calling feature on the site.

I do not trust it

Been on the site as a free (standard) member for six months or so. Been tempted to pay up the ridicilous fee for gold membership, but everytime I've thought about it some mystic voice in the back of my head has stopped me.
I'm pretty certain that the site mainly is a scam and most of the "attractive" profiles are outright fakes. Now I'm not saying that all the profiles are fake; if I am there, then there must be some other legitimate people too.
Just that the less attractive ones mostly are legit and the attractive/model-types are fakes... it also seems like profiles that seek company from japan or areas near them might be legit more often, just because they seem to expect you to meet them.
I've had a few interests and messages from people who definitely are fakes ("too" attractive, doesn't look at your profile before sending interest or message and so on) and a some from people who might be legit (less attractive, tend to write non-standard profiles)... but still I'm not going to take the risk of paying anything.

Besides then that, it's pretty interesting how the platinum/gold members never answer your messages, interests or rarely check out your profile even if you direct any attention to them. That makes me think most of them are also fakes, because I'm pretty confident that I'm not the ugliest guy around and certain that I can strike a conversation with at least a few ones.
Also some obvious fakes are online almost 24/7. And, as someone mentioned earlier, you cannot delete your pictures... talk about extremely fishy.

I believe that some of these people who write supporting reviews or defend cupidmedia-affiliates are working for them or the creators of the network... or something like that. They might be scanning these kinds of sites for the bad publicity and trying to "cover" up their site so as to make it look more legit.
Sure, some people might be just users who'se had good experience and found someone... when they've coughed up the payment for membership upgrade.
I don't know what happens when you upgrade, will you lose your money and your profile, and I'm not gonna take that chance either.

Fun fact though... when I registered to japancupid.com in july or something, you could write the topic to your message (not completely sure, might remember wrong). At some point (few months back or so) they changed the layout of the site and stuff, and then you couldn't write topic anymore... maybe so you couldn't abuse writing your email/contact information in the topic, because standard members can see the topic but not the message.
Everytime you edit your profile, they closely inspect and verify your profile (might take more than 24 hours) so you don't try to tip off anything there (contact info, site being fraud, you being a real person).

Anyway, to make it short: seems too fishy, I do not trust the site because it's too good to be true and it's the standard members who message you/show interest, never the gold/plat members whom you could speak to.

Pros
Don't really know. There may or may not be legit profiles, mostly probably those who seek companionship near their area.

Cons
I don't trust it. Most profiles seem way too fakey.
I'm a standard member so you can't interact with anyone and those who you can (gold/plat members), won't interact with you... instead standard members try to hook up conversation/interests/whatever most of the time like trying to bait you to upgrade and pay up.

Scam

I think it is a scam

Hilarious

I don't know how legitimate this site is... but I have to agree -- the descriptions are freakin' hilarious! Check it out if only because you wanna laugh. :D

Pros
Hilarious

Any success on refund?

So has anybody actually gotten refund from the site? I am very curious about your approach to get your money back. Would anyone mind to share?

I like dating site www.sitesfordate.com

It is very good directory dating sites. I like it!

I think it is better than what neil said.

It is a niche dating and support site, not a social site. So, you can not expect it is completely free.

1. It is free to create a profile and do a quick search.
2. It is free to reply to emails and instant messages from upgraded members.
3. It is free to post at the forum and blog area. By the way, their blog is very active.
4.You can get a refund for your payment later if you are not satisfied with the service.
5. You can delete your profile. It seems neil did not find the link.

Rip-off

(zip)(6)

Pros
They make money off of you.

Cons
They take your money and spend it on things you don't have.

PISSED

WE ARE HAVING A HARD TIME WITH MONEY THESE DAYS AND WHEN MY HUSBAND CHECKED HIS EMAIL HE WAS GETTING NOTIFICATIONS. THE SITE ALSO CHANGED HIM, WITHOUT HIM KNOWING, $358. AND CHANGE. THE BANK CANT HELP UNLESS THE POLICE TAKE ACTION. ALMOST EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM ON THE PROFILE IS RIGHT, CRAZY. HE CALLED THE WEBSITES NUMBER AND IT WAS A RECORDING. WE ARE SO MAD!!!!

Pros
NOT A ONE

Cons
TAKE YOUR MONEY!!!

Scam

A scam site, with a few real members

I inadvertently posted this as a comment too.
Foolishly I paid money to join this site. Suddenly all the woman who had supposedly expressed interest in me didn't respond to my messages. I am very suspicious about some of the advertisements. I believe some are real, but the others have been planted by the operators. Given the high prices I cannot even advise trying it out. Having lived in japan as well I can say that the majority of japanese girls aren't interested in gaijin. The ones that are tend to be a little crazy or have some other issues that have meant they have to try and find a gaijin (foreigner) as a last resort. This is a broad stereotype and of course there are exceptions. Don't believe that in general there are lots of hot japanese woman looking for foreign boyfriends. Another problem is they nearly always want to go back to Japan in the long run. Can't believe the bullshit message from the site operator saying that because they are in Australia it is OK. Like there aren't any crooks in Australia. Certainly there is no government regulator that is going to go around and audit them to make sure they aren't creating fake profiles, and sending fake messages of interest.

Avoid this website

Pros
Some genuine profiles. Certainly some of the older woman on the site who aren't especially attractive are unlikely to be fake.

Cons
Fake profiles, and fake messages. Overpriced. Inflated member numbers, many of the "members" haven't logged in for years. Dodgy privacy issues. Seems to be no way to delete your profile and photos.

Just because there's some fake profiles doesn't mean it's a "scam"

Met an ultra-hot girl on this site, and we were together a year! Seriously, people thought she was a model or something. We were both 24... and along those lines, you creepy old guys saying this site is "fake" need to wise up- I met 3 or 4 chicks off this site while I was in Japan, just because a few profile are fake and you occassionally get a message from them, doesn't mean the whole site is a scam... IT MEANS NO ONE'S INTERESTED IN YOU!

Pros
Genuine girls on the site, privacy protected... seems to pick up a lot of shy japanese girls that don't socialize well (good luck finding a nice japanese girl in a bar). especially good for young guys living in japan temporarily. Don't assume hot girls are always fake- my gf had the sexiest profile on there and it wasn't tell I met her that I believed it was real!

Cons
Like others said, some of the girls are kind of desperate or a little weird. Japanese girls by nature are usually looking for serious relationships... true some of them might just be looking for fun, but good luck finding 'em. don't get stuck in a relationship you never wanted in the first place... seriously, think about this guys.

Meet The Real Sugar Daddies and Mommies

I had a friend who joined SA and she cancelled her membership after the first three months. She met a guy who was a drug lord, who had connections in her country and threatened here to visit him or else. Now with kind of blackmail going on how can you be safe after allowing yourself to trust some of these men letting them in to know you and then they intern use the information to blackmail you. Well she had inspired me and i started a millionaires club with a different twist, both sugar daddies/mommies and babies get to meet each other in person at a private party every month so they can get to know each other all millionaires are verified as well as their networth. So if you need to find the real deal visit www dot meetelites dot com

lovely lady

I have actually been on this site a total of two years. I have had some great experiences. Once I found I guy that paid me well to be happy I stuck with him. I made an arrangement with one guy on the site. He was 30 years older then myself however, he was really goos in the bed and he paid for everything and I mean everything including my tuition. I received money from him everytime I went to see him and a generous amount of funds also went into my account every week. I was pulling in over $5,ooo.00 from him every 3 weeks. He also took me with him into his jet where I became apart of the mile high club. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO exciting. I ended up moving and we lost touch with each other and I have not been able to find him since then.

Pros
some guys are who they say they are
the guys that are real actually don't mind helping out
the site is easy to navigate

Cons
None just yet

Miss STILL

I think the website is a waste of time becasue most members do not seem to contact when you email members. Also i would also like to confirm that i came across phony pictures and duplications of some pictures on other people's profiles which scared me. It put me off but then I continued to carry on my search.

I also believe there are people who are not being truthful and should be barred as a muslim matrimonial website is for marriage not for friendship this is why it is a MUSLIM matrimonial website it is not an asian dating site there are loads of these already on the net and if someone wants to be just friends with someone go on dating sites and not matrimonial sites.

Pros
there were no prons

A breeding ground for loosers

This site is a scam, and I can't believe they haven't been closed down.
The site at one time may have been the real thing, but now the site is
crawling with con artist.

You will not find a real SD on this site. The guys are there for only one reason
to get laid by women stupid enough to believe what they say.

Pros
Not a darn thing

Cons
Fake profiles

Loaded with broke men

Site used as a virtual club to get laid FREE

not worth it

cost a lot of money and is a scam

Pros
nothing

Cons
getting matched with non paying members

getting match with no photos posted

Japan cupid and sister sites are NOT scams!

I travel frequently for international business. I have successfully used AsiaEuro, Latin Cupid and FilippinaHeart on MANY occasions to meet local women. I even met my current GF here in the states using AsiaEuro (she is a student from China). I can not guarantee that EVERY profile is real, but finding and meeting real women has not been hard on these sites. Yes, if you want to "meet" the girls, of course you have to join. But the price is not very high, especially if you buy a multiple month membership and you can view hundreds of profiles, and find women you like, before deciding to join. Probably I have better luck because I tell the girls I will soon be visiting their country. Many girls tell me there are many men on the sites wasting the girls time because they never really plan to visit them. MOST OF THE GIRLS I MEET ARE EXTREMELY SERIOUS ABOUT FINDING WESTERN MEN FOR MARRIAGE, OR AT LEAST A SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP. AND, THEY ARE FAR LESS PICKY ABOUT, AGE, LOOKS, AND MONEY THAN AMERICAN WOMEN. To me, it sounds like the guys complaining about these sites really have not put in much effort. If they are serious about meeting foreign women then I suggest they stop complaining, invest a little time and money, with the idea of someday actually visiting the girl in her home in the not too distant future.

Pros
Many women

Cons
None worth mentioning

Review:

Hah! Can't believe the number of wannabe asian beauties who can be sweet and sour and contradict themselves. A number of them have been deleted and created new profiles many times driven to find a foreigner for visa. Anyways, there's a few returnees to watch out for happy (chococherry), anisiltir (shay), santi. If they were deleted, trust it was for a good reason. Revenge is another thing to watch out for coz those smiling angels can turn and be spiteful, making up stories telling lies.

Review:

Watch out for some of the members esp. male member Boban1 now Dedovix. He has been on that site for every day for years - very much doubt he works and likes to create false profiles on cs (Ivektu was one of them) - sends nasty messages, posts lies about members and a two faced nasty piece of work and not mr nice guy at all!

Review:

nothing to be excited about on cs. many asian girlies who like to play head games.

Review:

Opportunity knocks. Unfaithful peeps. Take migsy for example, engaged after just 1 month and sneaking on and off that site and engaged to more than one guy online. Thank the lord found out in time through other members and her profiles on another site. Dirty games.

Review: Filled with scammers and hatred

It's a very bad sitcom on this site with every members profile, photos, blogs, forum thread and forum posts available to the public going back years in archives or just by typing in a member's name and the site's name on a search engine. Some things are just so wrong on many levels.

Review: Scammers

Shocking isn't it? I know some of the regulars are no angels. azul.......in Mexico claims to be a 99yr old woman. She's not and she was on there before. Ya know you were too.

Review: If you can't afford an affair, don't have one.

Agree with boy Robin - this review is obviously done by Illicit Encounters / an employee.
It WAS a good site - its NOT NOW - the cost of an affair is irrelevant to the cost of the site, its about the people you meet through the site and I am another one who agrees that it is now a home for the sex workers / scammers / and employees of IE recruiting for membership commissions.
I have used the site several times over the years - at one time it was possible to meet someone for a discreet affair, NOT NOW you will just be milked of your cash.
There are far far better

Review: Not what it seems

Another one to agreeing with the reviewer - loads of Virtual Kisses which stopped when I paid up.
Mainly sex workers looking for mugs realising that they can blackmail people.

Review: Japancupid is OK

Hang on, so you are saying you used the site two years ago? Ummm things may have changed since then. Also not many people are stupid enough to correspond with woman in Tokyo for example if they aren't in Tokyo ?!

Review: find a good future husband to be..

BS and fake review

Review: JapanCupid.com is Genuine

Go away Harumi, if that is even your real name. Shouldn't you be busy sending out fake e-mails on the site? Since you work there you aren't an objective rater. So just f*** off.

Review: Regarding Muslima.com

Kuch ny any muslim hmse frnd

Review: JapanCupid.com It is a Scam!

I normally don't reply to the messages like..
The person who did not review my profile, seemed like sending same messages to many women, asking for email address in the first message, not introducing himself, messages starting from "Hi honey", sexual approach, Profile photo is not really nice etc....
I think that half of Japanese women in Japan cupid are very careful...

Review: place sucks

In addition to these comments. I was on the site for over a year and got a nasty IM worm from one of the members, complained, quit and then began getting more e-mails than when I was a member. Of course you can't read e-mails if you don't pay, so eventually rejoined on one of their special 3 month deals and have yet to hear back from any of the folks who had "wanted me" to connect with. This site is only about getting folks to join and get their money. Better off going to Collarme or BDSM or Friend Finder. The DaCD site sucks don't waste your time or money

Review: You are a bad joke

use a prepaid visa/master card for online purchases...cant charge ya if theres no money there..

Review: speeddate is SCAM ONLY

Contact you credit card company and tell them what the problem is. They will get your money returned.

Review: Not Worth It

Wait ... hold one. You're telling the world that you signed up for a website called "seekingarragement.com" that is CLEARLY a sugar daddy website

-which means there are CLEARLY women looking for men with money
-which CLEARLY display on their profiles the amount of money they are looking for ...

...but you are looking for a woman to be with you "without an understanding that there is money involved" or without having to "engage in some type of arrangement"? What a fucking idiot.

Review: Not Worth It

Oops. Hold on*

Review: Military Cupid = crap

The majority of information on this site is not viable, a complete farce, and totally unreliable. My guess is that 90% of the profiles are inaccurate. I felt personally violated to see and read the smut and provocative suggestions that were belayed in my email. Someone should investigate it.

Review: White Label Dating

Want to know who runs these sites? Steve Pammenter and Ross Williams. With offices in Minton Place, Windsor these two turned over £31million last year as "Global Personals" which includes all the White Label dating site scams. If you live in Windsor these two shouldn't be too hard to find, they are rich and doing on your money if you are daft enough to join one of their joke dating sites.

Review: I have no idea whats a title lol.

Thanks so much for your feedback! Wow your story blows my mind, I would tell you to FB me however I don't want to post my link on here haha.

Review: Muslima.com is NOT a good website!

this site have alot of fake accounts/profiles ...

Review: Scammed on Japan Cupid

Liping is trying to scam me now....she wants to come to USA...she even sent me pics.

Review: Bloody Rip Off and Con Job

David, in short you're an idiot. I've been on the site for a month and have had so many wonderful conversations, webcam chats, and messages/interests. Every girl I have talked to has been genuine and friendly. Sure on any site like this a few scammers are going to sneak in. You're stupid if you can't spot the 1 in 100 fake profile. Reporting the site to ACCC, ACA, Today Tonight? I guessed you would be the sort of moron who would watch that crap. And it's because of stories on those shows that are reported by morons like you that make me sad for Australia. Take some responsibility for yourself instead of threatening to whinge to some crap current affairs show. The site isn't fake, you are.

Review: be wary

Was the girl's name Yuri? Then is the website she mentioned snii.biz? Where you need to pay for points which is used for sending messages?

Review: For Bottom Feeders Only

chris27, bluefish, maxmate, nessa, entusiasmo/platino. All played a part in getting several members deleted and/or sent to 'cs jail' suspended even though they were the ones causing the problem and stirring. The entusiasmo profile who returned as platino hiding her profile claimed she lived in spain but uses the photos of a woman in ukraine. she is on chris27's friend list at the time of posting this comment. One day you are talking to one person or several people and then discover they are sharing passwords and have several profiles.

Review: For Bottom Feeders Only

About sums it up.. Blog comment by male member teddyb about a female member he calls a slut. What a gentleman, I don't think so. A horrible fat opinionated man more like.

"Now, i noticed some are feeling very exited to use this event to try and bring me down.

This 2nd lady that tries to take advantage of this event wants to compare a kiss that i gave to my girlfriend in public with her own actions?
Should i remind her that having sex before marriage is much worse? Me and my girl would never do that. I respect her to much for that, and above all she isn't such a slut like this person that tries to bring me down now."

Review: Speeddate.com is a SCAM

THIS SITE IS CERTAINLY FAKE AND SHOULD BE REGARDED AS
GOING TO A AAA RESTUARANT WITHOUT A KITCHEN AND PAYING
FOR THE FOOD BEFORE IT ARRIVES, ( id rather go to a donut store and pay for a product with a hole, instead of dealing with a _ashole co.

Review: I got a phone number!

I was charged $3.95 but realized that this site was going to keep charging for everything so I "cancelled" my profile but that doesn't stop payment. I was charged again this month for $3.95 and I called the 1-877-328-3006 and was on hold for about 1 minute and she asked for my email add for confirmation and cancelled my memebership pretty smooth and I never was charged for anything else

Review: I got a phone number!

Same here. They charged me $190+ for a crappy site full of scammers and bots! Do not sign up for this website...

Review: I got a phone number!

I got charged 191.40 as well. I called that number. they say they don't accept refunds. apparently it says that on the payment page. what do i do now

Review: I got a phone number!

almost 2 years ago that took out $200 from my account when I cancelled the 1 week free trial after the first day. I had to declare it as a fraudulent charge with my bank and report the company to the BBB and they still would only give me a partial refund (less the amount for a one month membership I never used) and told me they would remove my information from their system. A couple of days ago I just had another charge from them hit my account for $39.95. I immediately went to my bank and got the process started again to try to get my money back.

Review: I got a phone number!

How could these scam artist get away with this, I canceled my membership and they were still charging my account. I finally reached someone who was very rude....Please don?t use speeddate....it is a scam!!!!

Review: WHAT'S YOUR CONTACT NUMBER SPEED DATE?

I tried several times to call speeddate. I went to my bank put a block on them that worked but I didn't know it just last 6mos..Now I'm getting a new bank card..But they charged me this month bank can't do anything with the pending charge..Good Luck to you all!!

Review: Just because there's some fake profiles doesn't mean it's a "scam"

Well ... why the hell are you using dating sites in first place? Maybe reality's not into you either, you're probably just a spoiled punk ass kid who gold digs off your parents you creepy piece of shit. And maybe you just need to stop having these stereotyping pleasures and have some real balls going out there, dumbass. If i knew who i was talking to and ran into on the street, id fucking beat your ass creepy Ted.

Review: worst scam dating service to date.

>Although Japan Cupid says that, ?our dedicated Fraud Prevention team uses world-class fraud prevention technology to help keep our users safe


Japan Cupid doesn't take proper investigation despite the allegations/complaints of a fraudster so that he can victimize amother women. Vetting, enquiry to the alleged members are not enogh while similar sevice of German site bans specific members.

Review: worst scam dating service to date.

The comment dated April 27, 2010 by the staff from Cupid Media is absolutely untrue. They say majority of their members are genuine but it's a bad joke.
Also, Cupid Media imply they take measure to the suspicious member, however, they've never done this with regard to the serial fraudster who acts in their sites such as AsianDating or JapanCupid. Since the AUS government does not have effective regulation on online matchmaking / mail order bride like in the US or other DEVELOPED COUNTRIES, in addition to be outside of jurisdiction of those strictly restrict online predators (scammers, sex offenders), both Cupid Media and malicious members can do anything they want. Get out of this out-law world. If you are a victim, don't hesitate to go to the local police. The Brit successfully accuse the fraudster outside of the UK through Interpole.

Review: worst scam dating service to date.

Fred, how about yourself?
Can you swear your profile is totally TRUE?
Male members there are perverts and leirs.

Review: Scam site

I joined, and within days realised it was a scam.

I sent recorded delivery letters to Paul Homewood at New Life Ventures UK and his home address saying it was essentially a fraudulent service, and if the money wasn't refunded I'd get Trading Standards involved.

I also sent a similar recorded delivery letter to Global Personals in Slough - Bill Richards is currently responsible for customer services. I did this after a call with their customer care people.

Within 24 hours, my card had been credited.

Definite scam - avoid. If it's too late, do the above.

Review: Seeking arrangement is a hoax

It's your own choice if you let others touch you; you just have to make an arrangement Before meeting them. The real rich men will not hesitate taking a risk of 6000 or whatever number under 10.000..And let them give you the money Before you do anything, on the first date.

Review: Definitely a scam

Stay away from the site ,I have definately learned my lesson

Review: Definitely a scam

Agree, mostly a scam. Some real profiles but a ripoff.

Review: Definitely a scam

I never paid for this site but i thought i'd try it out, I was contact by and attractive girl who said she was coming to my country on holiday and wanted to be friends and me to help her. We sent 1 or 2 emails using normal mail then suddenly she sent an email saying she had lost her PC and that I could contact her through a site called i-babyboo.com. She then instantly deleted her profile and closed the email she had been using to contact me. I went over to have a look at this site and as I speak little japanese it was hard to translate. We sent 2 or 3 emails then it ask for money to send more mail and this is where I stopped.

Seems like someone had paid for a short subscription to japan cupid proabbaly contacted a heap of people on there and then tried to get them to spend money on this i-babyboo.com site.

Review: Definitely a scam

THANKS FOR THIS!
I just got an email from that girl Rui(or whoever) this morning.

At first she stunned me with the 2 beautiful HD(that kinda too good to be true type quality) photos she sent me through my email.
look at the photos she sent me here: www.mediafire(DOT)com/?0zpfhzs4tjhh2

Not to mention, SHE SPOKE ENGLISH, EFFICIENT ENGLISH. MY FIRST REPLY TO HER WAS IN JAPANESE AND SHE STILL REPLIED IN ENGLISH WTF! WHO DOES THAT?
She said she was coming to America(also too good to be true).
Skeptical? A bit, but I wanted to hope for the best.

Some 6 days later after our first send/receive conversation, she told me to sign up for this i-babyboo.com what she told me was a dating site that she could use with her phone she wanted to use it cause she lost her pc(pssssh)

I signed up(you know know no prob) but then she messaged me saying you know you have to pay points to send messages. Thats when I was like OH REALLY? LEMME RESEARCH THIS!!! Then I found this. NOT talking to this person again good riddance. If I wanted to pay for chicks id go watch porn.
