Clever, Innovative Scams built-in

Most amazing to me is that they are pushing for mainstream status so badly, they are actually running TV ads. I have to hand it to whoever came up with
the Carousel, which makes the whole site basically a SCAM. Once member realize they get tangible, spendable "coins" as rewards for saying "YES, I want to meet this person", all bets are off. So John in NYC gets an email that "Mary wants to meet you!", only to find out that "Mary", if she even exists, lives is Mexico City. In the unlikely event that she's reasonable local and possibly a match, it's guaranteed that you won't get a reply from her - she's just collecting coins by spinning the roulette wheel!!!

Pros
Not many. Paid membership, zero or nearly zero communications, zero dates. Better layout than some sites, but does it matter? Like a pretty car that won't start?

Cons
Clever (not in a good way). 2 ways to take your money. First you pay and think you're a full member. Then they sell you "coins" to contact "good matches". But wait, you can get SOME coins by lying at the Carousel, saying you want to meet every member who comes up, collecting 40 coins a day. Or just send more money to Zoosk. AND to turn off auto-renew...well, you better start trying to figure out how months ahead of time, because no refunds once you've paid for a subscription. Despite signing up online, they TELL YOU THAT YOU MUST CALL THEM ON THE PHONE to cancel!!! This is so f'ked up it should be illegal. Just sayin...
