I gave this site 3 stars for a number of reasons. The first reason, I did have the chance to communicate with real women. Second reason, the support staff seem to be quite responsive when replying to inquiries or if you reported an account. Third reason, unfortunately there are scammers who operate on the site.

I think this site, as well as a few others that allow a free registration / sign-up would benefit from having a low fee for membership. I noticed on this site a scammer who had been talking with me would seemingly have their account deleted and in a week or two I see same person (photos basically the same) but the person's name is different. Also, you are able to view profiles without even signing in. This can be both a positive and a negative. I think mostly negative because if you sign up on the site and upload some of your photos, now in theory the entire internet can see what you look like without having to create an account.

On one hand I did communicate and even meet with real women who used the site, but at the same time the site does have a scammer problem. And I hate to say this but the usual suspect list of countries had some of the most brazen as far as women openly trying to get you to send money to them: Cuba, Venezuela and Dominican Republic. I did encounter a couple of instances of women from either Philippines and Colombia attempting to scam me but it was nowhere near as often as the other countries I mentioned.

Best advice I can recommend to any man who uses this site is to be smart, be very wary of a woman asking you for financial help and most importantly be strong. Do not give in to simping and letting yourself be taken advantage of.

I have read through all of the reviews here and struggled to think of a way to write a review that might help other men who are deciding whether to spend the money to join and try to find a nice latina.

First, I will say I have had some success using this site to talk with women and have actually met some in their respective countries. I mention this because there are some genuine women on the site and it isn't completely overrun by scammers.

Second, despite my initial praise up above, yes there are a lot of scammers on the site. I hate to write a comment where I am generalizing about women from certain countries but I have discovered that talking with women from Dominican Republic, Cuba or Venezuela... there will be a very high chance that they will try to scam you. I am from the USA so the chances of me visiting Venezuela or Cuba is very low due to diplomatic reasons, however, I was willing to chat with women from those countries and perhaps meeting them somewhere else could have been a possibility. Until I get requested to send money etc, then the harsh realization that I am talking with a scammer sets in.

Without fail, every single time a woman from one of the above countries contacted me eventually some kind of a request to pay for something or to send money for a relative who "lost their job", "my aunt has become very sick", "my cell phone credit is about to run out" will be asked of me. It is a shame and very sad because I am sure that some women from those countries are genuinely looking for love. The scammers end up giving the rest a bad reputation and for me I more or less view any initial message from a woman that lives in those countries with a high degree of suspicion.

Without trying to overly bash the site due to the scammers, I will sum my thoughts as simply this. There are a lot of women on the site, I have had some success in talking with genuine women there. Things didn't work out due to other reasons after I had met the woman--none of that is the fault of the dating site.

However, anyone who signs up on the site should be alert that there are a lot of scammers, and unfortunately a lot of those scammers seem to from Venezuela, Dominican Republic and Cuba.

Tip for consumers:
I think I covered most of the tips in my main review. For the men out there, again just be mindful of the scammers and try your best to not let your heart fully dictate your actions. Speaking for myself, when I hear a story about someone needing help my first inclination is I feel a lot of sympathy and a desire to try to be of assistance. Do not let the scammers prey on your emotions and sympathies.
