They are a fraud. More than 500 dollars spent on nothing. Women listed are either fake profiles , or spammers fishing crocks, or company staff making fake identities to send favorites to subscribers... See more

Ashley Madison is a complete scam

Ashley Madison is a complete scam. I had six ladies contact me three were trying to blackmail me to go to another site to get naughty read up about that. They take pictures of you if you go that far and then try to blackmail you for money reported it. The site did absolutely nothing about it. Had two ladies beautiful hook up through WhatsApp and after 2 weeks tried to get me into usdc funds to scam me but because I was suspicious never happened and then the last try to get me into cryptocurrency all three of the scammers after I said no. Got very vocal and tried to guilt me to get into their scams. Terrible sight overall.

it's quite obvious that this site…

it's quite obvious that this site controls and meters your experience in order to generate commercial revenue. But, to single Ashley Madison out is to ignore that these are common practices by mostly all (hook up/dating) platforms. Very few if any are legit and from the minute you create a profile, the pressure is on to spend money. Only "Fetlife" seems to be 100% legit and is a extremely user friendly site!

It has pretty much become a scam site

It has pretty much become a scam site. It’s marketed as an affair site, but you can’t search on whether or not someone is married or single anymore. You can’t see when they were last online. I think it’s mostly bots doing very basic communication with you to chew up credits.

The entire site is a scam

As a guy you are required to buy credits to do anything on the site.... send messages, retrieve messages, almost anything. The trick is that every response is from a bot, but to find that out it'll cost you credits. Do not waste money on this site!!

4 out of 4 fake profiles

Signed up and ended up purchasing a small subscription to send texts. The one person that I contacted just kept sending small notes about themselves, even though I was revealing a lot more. And then all of a sudden just dead silence.

And then I started doing Google picture searches on the pictures that were showing up of the women that I was interested in. Four out of four pictures were fakes from other people‘s website that didn’t even live in the city close to where I live. Don’t waste your time with this site.

Doing a Google search is not hard to do and it should be something that Ashley Madison is doing to protect their clientele. I’m sure there’s an easy algorithm that they could implement into their picture website software, but why would they if people are buying subscriptions?

Too many fake ads

Too many fake ads. Cost is high and they send you ads that are not real so you use up your credits and have to buy more.

Ashley Madison is a total ripoff

Ashley Madison is a total scam. First thing you notice is your inbox filing with georgeous women half your age who "winked". This is so you can spend "coins" you bought messaging them. I talked to total "chat bots" - not even AI. I said, "go eff yourself". She responded, "Thats really great, so what is your goal here?". I went to other platforms with 2. One said her audio didnt work on videochat, but videoed with me anyway. Played me a prerecorded video of her masturbating. Some porn he or she downloaded. The other Ive been chatting with over 2 days. She just hit me up with request for some holiday money. Told her Im not a stupid soak. Shes trying to recover, saying she respects that I wasnt that dumb. Dont know what her next game will be. To Ashley got me for about $75 - cheapest start off possible. I immediately cancel to shut down auto renew. Save your money. If you wanna get a real date, go to Walgreens before a holiday and buy a package of greeting cards. Say "Merry Christmas" and include your phone. Put in envelope with a candy or cookie and pass em out at the grocery store. You have much better odds than on any dating site. Ashley is the worst. Im 70, got hit on by 200 beayties aged 23 -38. 36 - 38 is where most land

The draw was married women! Now there is no draw for men. They dont list it anymore so it's no different now

By eliminating that the women are married...you destroyed the only thing that attracted men to your site. The knowledge that women would keep it discreet just got thrown away. No reason to even waste a penny on this. Men are the Prize. The women should be paying to meet the men and send them messages.
This is why men are leaving these hookup sites and walking away and saving money. The women have become so delusional that they only speak to the top 10 to 20 percent of the guys even though most of them wouldn't pass for a 4 or a 5 on a good day. You ruined what set you apart from the rest. Enjoy your spiral into bankruptcy...

This site just is just a money grabbing exercise

This site just isn't real! You'll get lots of women contacting you.. Mostly in cut &paste English , even the AI (or real, paid) responders just want to pull you in . It costs 14 credits to say "hi" to one of them so 100 credits at extortionate rates doesn't last long . I'm yet to get a reply from a real person- loads of vanity contacts from "supposedly" interested women 100+ miles away whose age is even more distant. Claims to skim from other similar sites. All you'll get for your cash is a series of profile pictures to look at and a distinct feeling you've been conned.

Site is too greedy! Wants too much money!

This could be a useful site if the company wasn’t so greedy! You purchase like 100 credits for say $50 it varies but then it’s like 14 or more for one text! That 100 credits goes away before you even know what you’re doing then they want you to pay more. As long as they are this greedy it’s not worth it!

I paid for credits to chat and open up messages I received but didn't receive any credits. I emailed AM on three occasions and have received no response. They are taking your money and not providing a service and no customer support. Scam company.

An absolute scam of a site

An absolute scam of a site. They constantly use bots to get you to use up your credits so you'll have to buy them frequently to find a legitimate person. If I could give minus 5 stars, I most certainly would. Keep your distance from this site and hold onto your hard earned money!!!
