The site is owned by a company based in Malta, a small island between Italy and Africa and there are many affiliates sites connected to the same company. The site is set up very poorly and cheaply and is full of fakes, scammers and bots.

As a percentage I would guess 99% of the profiles are likely fakes to keep your interest and site traffic high. They entice you into paying for a membership with flirts, messages and hot photos from fake profiles.
You waste your time sending messages to and responding to messages from fake profiles that won't read or respond to the messages you send or reply to.

They claim gold members get message storage for 1 year but they start deleting your messages after about a month. Probably so you can't go back and review to discover you're getting the exact same messages from the same fake profiles you had already received once before.

It takes about 6-10 weeks for the site to cycle through all of their fake profiles depending on how much time you spend on the site.
Your mailbox and flirts will be very busy at first until they run out of fake profiles. After they cycle through all of their fakes, your account activity drops to nearly zero except for a few scammers from Africa contacting you. Some of the fake accounts are so blatant they use photos of the same girl, in the same clothes, on multiple profiles from totally different areas of the U.S., Canada and Europe. Total joke.

They also claim gold members get 24 hour customer support but if you complain to them about the site, you don't hear back from them at all.
Once you've paid your money to join you can't get it back. They list a no refund policy in their terms and conditions and you have to agree to the terms and conditions to join.

IHookup collects your profile info and pics and uses it to create fake profiles to be used on other scam sites.
Any profile info or pics you post becomes their property to do with as they please as listed in the terms and conditions you must agree to to join.

The iHookup site is a scam to get you to spend money on their 'live chat room girls' The live chat room girls are real and some are very nice, they're paid a % of the amount their live chats generate. Fine if that's how you want to spend your money but your chances of actually hooking up with anyone in the real world from this site are very slim as 99% of the female profiles are likely fake. The site is a front to lure you into buying cyber-porn.

Tip for consumers:
Stay away from this site. This site is only interested in your money and selling you cyber-porn.
