“WORKED GREAT FOR ME”

Sheri O.
7/8/23

I was on AM several years ago and found it to be a lot of fun. I met wealthy, successful, married gentlemen who treated me very well. I enjoyed their company and their money. Each relationship lasted 2 to 3 months. If you're a lady who enjoys fine dining, shopping, casinos and travel then you'll be pleased with AM.

Top Critical Review

“6 months and absolutely nothing.”

Fake profiles and fake emails to get you to keep hanging on. They'll send you emails saying she's interested but they don't respond or look at my pictures for so many tokens and the pictures are the same as her profile pictures. No one responds unless they're trying to sell you something. I could have gotten a good hooker for the money I wasted on this site.

I'll keep using my favorite AdultsFinder.club because their women are not scammers. My experience with Ashley Madison was a complete garbage - a dumb waste of time and money. All the "women" I exchanged messages with were either bots or typical scammers who asked me for money and tried to blackmail me.
All the supposedly local women turned out to live out of my country. Stay away from this scam!

This site has become nothing but AI bot made fake profiles. They are easy to spot if you know what to look for, Guys don't waste your money chatting with a computer! They often include pics of gorgeous woman that would have no reason to be on AM.

Less and less for your money. Just now started limited winks to 3 a day when it was unlimited. This is without notifying current subscribing clients in any shape or form. This should be investigated by the FTC!
Don't forget just a short time ago they allowed themselves to be hacked and lost all your personal data to people who published it online.

I entered the site once and I made the mistake to enter twice. My geo location is Europe. Scam #1. The fee to buy credits so you can send message is fake. When you enter the pay page the fee is augmented with a hidden Mobile Activation fee (19.99€). Scam#2. Almost 99% of the profiles are fake and I received (intentionally) messages from non-existing persons. Scam#3. Anytime I send a reply message to a what appeared as person and added my email, I was charged by losing credits but the mail was never delivered. These are my real life experience so I prevented others of not entering in this site at all.

Tip for consumers:
Do not use this particular site

Paid $80 just to send a few messages to women only for it to go nowhere. Most didn't even bother responding even though it's free for women to message. I'm a good looking/fit guy in my mid 30's making over $100k a year, but most of these women who are at best 4-5's and probably with kids have the luxury to be extremely picky. The guy to girl ratio is probably 10-1, so even remotely attractive women receive 20 messages a day from mostly bozos. Not gonna pay another $80 to send messages to 5's and not even get a response. What a joke…

All i can say is " thank god I didn't fall for the scam and buy credits"
Hundreds of winks and " collect mail". I've spent enough time on dating sites to know this is not normal behaviour. I just don't get that sort of attention.
Mail is free for women, why are they all sending "collect" mail?
And why are 99% of the women who pretend to want to talk to me from the U.S.? I live in Canada.
Just another site to make guys think with their $#*! and whip out their wallet.

Tip for consumers:
I miss the good old days when dating sites had real women that ignored me instead of this business of fake women flooding me.

It's like all the rest of the BS Dating sites, all they do is play you along and screw you out of more and more money. Total Fraud! You would have better luck at a local bar and you will spend far less money.

Every single message requires credits including replying to someone that messaged you first. There is no monthly plan to let you do as much of whatever as you want. It is all nickel and dimed until you're blue in the face. It's a total scam and there are so many other options that are way better. The quality of women wasn't any different than other dating sites. Stay the F away.

Review all the one star reviews and I experienced most of it too. Something's additional to this scam site is; their female scammers literally cost you money to find out if they're scammers. 90% are. Three weeks on here and spent $300 no meetings and no messages in Orange County. Woman will send "collect messages you pay for 5 credit and 9 out of 10 times, it was them literally telling me they're not interested. Also, cust service sent me a contract paragraph about their refund policy and said, it was my fault I messaged fake profiles on their site. Profiles would disappear after spending 6-12 credits to respond to fake profiles. If they're all fake, how should I know what fake looks like.

Tip for consumers:
No refund option after wasting $300

The site has mostly fake profiles. Probably bots or AM employees stringing you along just so you keep wasting "credits" aka money on messages. There might be some real profiles on there but few and far between. I was on there a few years back before THE GREAT HACK and they were good sort of. Quality of women if there really are any has gone down and it's just a waste of time. Go somewhere else. There buisness model time has passed.

This was reported back in June and it's still up. This is just the more obvious one. They have MANY women profiles that are 4ft 8 and 98lbs or 5"10 and 110 pds. I bet most men don't even pay attention to that when they write these people.

Tip for consumers:
You write profiles that disappear in a day or two--you get no response, they don't refund $$.
Now they charge to access PRIVATE PHOTOS-that used to be a great way to detect scammers--they often used model pics. It's a GRIFT and they ASHLEY are one of the biggest grifters there.

Fraud built upon Fraud

• Previous review

I ran two profiles on here, each had a blurred photo of an early 50's male. I was in more demand than water in hell. In 4 days, I got about 40 women interested in me. They often sent the generic greeting, without looking at my profile, but a fair number -1/3 sent request to see my album. They all had these things in common: profiles with no text or a heading of 'HELLO", a few had a 3 word blurb or so, about 2/3 of them were from 1000 miles away, or more. I was getting them from Germany, London, S. Dakota, etc. Only 6 were suppose to be in the LOs Angeles metro. They also were often way off on height and weight, 4ft8 and 70 lbs, 5'8 and 88 lbs, or 5'7 or so and well over 220, that one seems almost believable for online dating. Also many profiles the age didn't match the face--see pic.

In conclusion, it's hard to distinguish Ashley employed fraudsters from just plain fraudsters. A profile with no pictures still get about 10 women wanting to interact. How ya going to prove someone is fraud when you spend $5 to contact them and they never respond or send you a sentence that basically repeats your question. I wasn't willing to pony up $35 this time so, I don't know how they would interact. I have got a 9 rate before and found them to be about as verbal as a $#*!. Example: Are you overwhelmed with men? 'NO I have not overwhelmed with men". I sent that one 22 more emails about Ashley and fraud, and they never blocked me. That's HIGHLY suspicious, considering they were supposed to be online everyday.

I purchased credits to see how well the system works. I would hot list and flirt to see if I got a reaction. I got a response and used up credits replying, only to find it was a bot. The person had not been online for the last 48 hours. Again I got a message which sounded legit from someone who had been on line, so I replied. Instant bot message came through and never heard back from her. Don't waste your money on credits.

Tip for consumers:
I contacted Customer service, their response was for me to update my profile to get more action.

They will sell you very costly coins. And you are charged for every attempt you make to contact a female ( first contact you loose 5$). Send a hi to the same message you are charged $5. The female ( mostly a bot, and once a while a scammer) replies a hi. You again pay to read her msg. In the end just to know it's a bot or scammer you loose 30$>>that too for a bot. Lol. Save yourself the embarrassment..

Tip for consumers:
Don't buy points.. Site only has bots or scammers..

Verified purchase

I am positive there is not one real woman on Ashley Madison. Not one! I live in NYC, with hundreds of profiles, and all of them are fake.

This is not a monthly service. You have to buy credits and spend those credits on each new woman you contact. Problem is they never write back. Ever. Send a free canned message to see if they're interested and some of them will respond with their own canned message. But then not write you back when you send a personal message. Essentially tricking you. Again. Every time.

By the way, near the end of my run, they started charging credits for those "free" canned messages too.

This site exists to get desperate men to throw away their money into a black hole. It's like the casino. No matter how long your losing streak, you're invested, maybe a little stubborn, and won't give up. So don't even start. Do not give them a penny. You want to meet women? Go to a bar.

Honestly. How are sites like this even legal?

After you've been involved for a week or so you start to see a pattern. Woman message men for free but it comes to us as a collect message, when you click on it and spend your $ it ends up being a generic message that after you see 3-4 of them it's obviously a preset message that there is no way 4 different woman give you almost the exact message "thanks for your interest but I only respond to complete messages, tell something about yourself that would interest me" you mean she can't see my profile? 3 weeks in, $300 spent, 50+ message sent and I've received a message back from 1 lady. Do not throw away your $
