It has to be a scam

It has to be a scam cause a dating website that stops people exchanging contact information you know there is something wrong. Next as a man getting loads of messages is great but at 10 credits a message, it works out at £1 a message. I used 100 messages on 1 lady and was running out of credit and she still suggested chatting a bit longer ( I know it could be me but other sites you move to other cheaper platforms as soon as possible.

Don’t use

Joined a week ago only chatting with…

Joined a week ago only chatting with one girl kept asking her to leave here she says she wants to meet up but run out of credits bought more managed to get her my phone number and this site blocks it so you can’t pass it along to the girl but I figured out a way . Yea okay came across all these bad reviews so confronted her about she sincerely seems upset about it she says she has saved my phone number wait and see what turns out not holding my breath lost couple hundred lesson learned .. people praying on lonely people what is the world coming to ? Don’t join or waste your money had to cancel credit card to get out of the secret automatic renewal plan keep clear of this platform.. so update stumbled across a fellow on another blog that knew how to reverse look up photos the girl that I have supposed to be chatting with is plastered all over Russian porn sites even came across her profile pics on friends with benefits upon further digging found pics of her having sex in the same outfit as her profile sent them to her and it was like I was chatting with a scripted computer no mention of the pics. I’ve canceled my credit card before my credits ran out and I’ve changed the pics on my profile to the pics of the guy she’s having sex with yesterday she sent a message saying she’d be online if I want to chat lol she doesn’t recognize the guy she already had sex with? Come on 100% scam don’t sign up or waste your time …other girls profile pics are off the same porn sites

100% a scam

100% a scam. Absolutely do not sign up for this site. As others have noted, they charge you per-communication. The "profiles" you interact with will just try to keep the conversation going on the site- as opposed to eventually communicating in real life.

Do not go near this site with a ten foot pole.

100% SCAM site

This site is a pure scam. They have fake women profiles that get you to buy credits for texting with them and that’s how they make their money. They’ll never leave the site to chat with you any place else or meet up with you anywhere? Don’t waste your money too bad you can’t get a refund, this is the word in SCAM 100%

I only joined with a basic description of white, 6ft 4in. No picture. Within minutes I was getting messages, one even declaring she was in love. I've no idea if the girls are genuine, but most seem quite willing to post naked pictures of themselves. But I suppose that's how they draw you in.

Scam site

Scam site , 3 different women with similar responses, right down the the bad English.
Question is how do you remove the credit card details? I only paid for chat credits but can't find anywhere to delete payment options, looks like I need to request new cards, unless someone here knows how to remove them?

The site is a scam

The site is a scam! I can prove with my logs that a staffer was replying to messages thru the night and early morning hours in order to burn thru the purchased credits to message.
Scam! Scam! Scam!
Scam alert!!!

Yep this is a scam I'm going to ask for my money back as it says you can if you don't get a date but I doubt that'll happen. I just wasted some money I didn't really have but at least I stopped now I know others won't be so lucky. I even thought they might be bots but as most do ignored those thoughts for the hopes that the person on the other side was real just not a great talker. But they never actually want to meet and just want to keep you talking to spend more money.

I read all your reviews too late but something can be done!

I read all your reviews too late. I figure something was not OK when as soon as I finished my profile with no picture and a very vague description I started receiving messages. I was fool enough to buy credits anyway in a wishful thinking to find someone real. After reading your reviews I confirmed by creating another profile in a completely different location and started receiving messages from the same profiles now in the other coast of the country. I sent an email to customer service asking for a refund and letting them now that I am filing a complaint with the IC3 Internet Crime Complaint Center. Maybe if all of you do the same, they will refund you or at least close the business.

Scammed in 22

11/08/22. I wholeheartedly concur with the sentiments of everyone els’s negative rebuke of this FAKE site!! If we get enough horribly negative reviews out there hopefully they will lose business and become extinct. I also knew this was problematic from the beginning when no one wants to talk on the phone or communicate in an alternate venue! JUST STAY AWAY!!!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! WILL PUT YOU ON AUTO RENEWAL AT AN EXORBITANT SUM OF MONEY WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT AND THEN REFUSE TO REFUND!! NOT CERTAIN HOW MANY PROFILES ARE GENUINE BUT SOME OF THE SAME PROFILES APPEAR IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. NOT SURE WHY THESE TYPE OF WEBSITES ARE NOT SHUT DOWN AND WHY CREDIT CARD COMPANIES CONTINUE TO ALLOW PAYMENTS.

I was on this website for a little over…Month

I was on this website for a little over a month with zero success I’m just meeting for a cup of coffee or lunch they would pick a place someplace that’s comfortable for them and I would buy. I don’t think I’m some schlep rock for one but to the employees of this website suspend you for a question after question after question trying to lock you in and have you have you spend your money. They all want you but they’re too afraid to go out to lunch in a public place that they know this is a pathetic site they’re just out of doubt you I wish I can meet the owner and punch him square in the face

FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD

FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD - don’t be fooled! 100% fake profiles, delayed chat response by BOT machines. The aim of the game is to get you chatting to by credits costing £1 per message. Responses are generic! Test by sending a number and will receive the exact same message from multiple accounts! MONEY GUARANTEE, complete crap. You’ll be lucky to even receive a customer service response!

WE NEED TO BRING THIS SITE DOWN

Friends with benefits is a big con

Friends with benefits is a big con. The pictures of contacts are from a library so your not actually messaging the person in the photo. Replies to messages are strung out so you have to keep purchasing credits. I was never able to meet up with the person I thought I was messaging as all they wanted to do was message! Men be aware its a dupe.

Avoid this site at all costs

Avoid this site at all costs. Unlike other sites of this nature you don't sign up for a monthly fee you buy credits to send messages. The first problem is that it looks like your paying about 10p a message, its actually about a £1. Then you get all sorts of people contacting you saying they want too meet, but they must chat first to see if you're compatible. The problem is the chats go on for ever costing a fortune, and the meets never happen. I'm still to be convinced that some of these profiles are not set up by the sites themselves and are false. About 2 wks ago I removed my photo and re-wrote my profile in such a way that nobody, in their right mind, would come near me. I am still getting 3 or 4 message a day saying they have read the profile and would like to hookup. The're all nearly all supposedly in there 20's and 30's.
