I signed up for AshleyMadison against my better judgment. Looking back now, I realize that I smelled a rat right away

Moreover I knew what a legit dating site should be like (I have used NautyAF.com
and several other good services). But anyway I just wanted to use up my credits so I engaged in conversations with what I thought were real women on AshleyMadison. The majority of them turned out to be scammers. They tried to rip me off blatantly and openly. They were pretty straightforward. Others turned out to be AI bots. I must admit they were quite sophisticated (cutting-edge technologies haha) and able to hold a meaningful conversation for 5-10 minutes but it was still pretty easy to identify them. So I left AshleyMadison as soon as I used up my credits.

Complete grifters

Complete grifters!
Shocked anyone pays for it. Men want to believe. I created a profile asking women to meet and let me spread DO DO all over them. I have received close to 500 mails or winks. Recently tons of profiles became "VERIFIED". I assume if it's real you could verify then upload pics of anyone.I have seen several actresses, online celbs an only a few porn stars. I reported Tila Tequila, Angie Verona, and Kasumi and those profiles stayed up for MONTHS. Also, a woman's picture that is taken from a school districts page. It's wild, that one has been up for over a year. I did pay the $14 dollars once---they appeared to be "TALKERS' always avoiding wanting to meet and no outside contact info.

Buyer beware!!!…

Given that you are charged for every message you send and receive, Ashley Madison has every incentive to employ AI bots to drag out small talk, all the while sucking up those credits you have to pay for. It’s quite unbelievable. I feel like a sucker for getting roped in. I very highly don’t recommend this site.

Kept credit card details without …

Kept credit card details without authorisation and took money without chance to consider an offer or confirm payment method. Despite not asking it did not even apply the bonus credits.

As a disabled gentleman I felt unsafe on this site and would not recommend anyone go on to it. Most members appear non legit and the only contact I had were from fake profiles using US numbers yet claiming to live locally in the UK.

This company is only good at conning people out of their money. It’s scammers’ paradise

All the women I contacted asked me for money and gift cards. I’m having better experience on AFFinders.com
- it’s the only platform that gives real hook ups, I mean real offline thing. AshleyMadison is not worth the money. They may have a dozen or so of real women but it’s really difficult to find them cause you have to sift through hundreds of scammers. Usually it’s easy to say that she is a scammer, but I believe some people may be more naïve and they can easily fall victim to this fraud. So just avoid AM!

CESSPOOL OF FAKES, BOTS AND SCAMS

I joined and paid to use Ashley Madison. In my experience it was much worse than disappointing and it is absolutely deceptive. It is FULL of bots, fake accounts, and scammers. I must have reached out to over 100 "females" and ZERO, NONE of them ended up to be a real person. I believe AM actively participates in the scams to make money "per click" on new rotations of fake profiles that never go anywhere. I wish I could kick Ashley Madison in the nuts.

AshleyMadison is a giant scam machine based on the man's ego

It's very easy to lay your eyes on these girls- they are sexy and friendly. But the thing is they just want to entice you into messaging. If you have ever used JLFlirt.com
or a another service like this you know that you pay a fixed fee only one time and you can read and write as many messages as you want and chances are high that you will meet real girls there - online and then offline. Don't expect anything like that from AshleyMadison - it is entirely based on a scam model which involves plenty of fake accounts and staff members who pretend to be sincerely interested in you but in fact they are getting paid to seduce you and to get you to exchange messages. There are also some cam girls and half-scam escorts, who rarely show up after you pay a deposit. Beautiful community lol Hilarious, isn't it?

Ok so I was skeptical on the reviews I saw but should have listened. This site is a waste of money, you will get lots of responses with lot of interest once you reply it turns into a text conversation that eats your credits fast with small talk. Lots of bots on there generating conversation and pics! If you tell them something specific they will reask the same thing in the next text. If you pick a person from a area you will get 3x the responses from that area. Also if you watch the same messages or pics will come from a different person or location. Oneother thing they will come out way hot and heavy if you respond they will answer back with a huge text but you only get 200 text spaces including between words to respond. Once you respond they dig for simple conversation and say oh we need to speend time getting to know each other when their initial text to you is very graphic and more direct than anything you send back. Big waste of time here

They are a fraud

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 to lure them to open massages which will eat all credits. It is a big scamming and i am filing a full report to FTC and IC3. This website should be shut down.

possibly the worst dating site ever

possibly the worst dating site ever! had been on there for a few years and they banned me all of a sudden for no reason at all, but apart from that there is hardly any new guys on there, it's just the same small amount of men from years ago, there is no way to contact support either, i feel for any paid member who wasted their money as the site is full of bots and scammers, i would not recommend this site to anyone at all stay well clear! The site is also stuck 15 years in the past, absolutely ridiculous to try an navigate and search etc, you have been warned.

I joined and within 2 hours my profile had been removed or reported as being fake. The members on there moan about bots and fake profiles and when a genuine person tries to join they report it, why are you still there if you think all profiles are fake?? Waste of time and effort. Better sites elsewhere.

Absolute total WASTE of my hard -earned $

I gave it a really good shot - tried it for at least year. I am close to three major metropolitan areas so should have had a productive experience - WRONG! There is nothing but fakes & con women on here all from foreign countries. Don't believe me - download some reverse pic search engines. Absolute garbage!

Ashley Madison scammed be out of my $85

After spending $85 I could barely do anything without spending more money. I deleted my account the same day it was created, but I was denied a refund. Ashley Madison is a scam. Don't waste your money with them.
