Waste of time and money
Review about Illicit EncountersI think I should need my head testing for paying over 100 pounds for 1 month membership of a dating site. I had 1 month membership last year (2010) and met one nice lady - it could have gone somewhere if I had more opportunities for meeting but I think she was just a flash in the pan. But the amount of time spent writing witty messages etc and the cost don't really justify it. Nearly all the profiles are genuine I would say - the sheer ordinariness of the ladies is proof of that and most keep their picture hidden. But as it is free for ladies there are too many just doing it for a laugh and be prepared to waste a lot of precious time. I did notice one thing - while not a gold member you get a trickle of messages from different ladies - but you cannot read them without membership - then when you join and go back over the messages you find they are all one liners - like, "just got back been away a while" - and none of those who sent messages in replied to me after I joined. If you have masses of free time to invest and think 134 quid a month is good value then this might be for you. But I implore you not to give these blood suckers any of your money - like I did, fool that I am. Get out and try the odd chat up with someone you really fancy as most of the women on here are just old frumps.

Review: Doesn't work. Don't waste your time
Reviewer you are correct - IE is a waste of time and money. As for the other respondents to your review - obviously IE staff propping up their sham site.
