Signed up for a month subscription 2 months ago. Sent a message to a lady she's Filipina and with in 4 days got a response. We have been communicating off the site for 2 months now e-mails, phone calls, text message, hand written letters. She hasn't asked me for any money or gave me a sob story about how hard her life is or she needs money for a sick relative or what ever kind of story that most scammers come up with. I invited her to come and visit me next year and she said that she would save some money to come.
Maybe I just got lucky I don't know or the ones with the negative comments just don't know how to make a profile and send a considerate message. I will tell you this I was on Match.com for a year and sent I don't know how many messages to ladies and did not get one response. I also notice that this varies from site to site so I only join these sites for 1 month and go to another.
Yes there are plenty of scammers out there my advice is read and learn about the about the scams there are plenty of sites about scams, be skeptical don't send any money to any one. Don't give any contact info until you are comfortable with the lady. If the lady likes you she will continue to communicate with you off the site. You will know if the lady is genuine or not. Yes I have been scammed and it was from a woman in my own state where I live imagine that. So just because they are in another country doesn't make them a scammer. There are just as many in the US and are just as hard to track.
So do your homework and if the messages seems like they are hinting towards money just delete them from your list pronto
Pros
Easy to navigate and plenty of available women. If you are in the US only contact the ones that have, Willing to relocate to another country on there profile
Cons
Long distance relationships
