AdultFriendFinder

The site states "FREE". Wrong, it's not and the ladies are fake. A fake front to blackmail you. They threaten to post all your information on the web, but don't fall for it. They place very attractive pictures and a chart will start. You think you are taking to a lady but you are not. It's a scam. Do not send any photos of yourself.
Avoid this site at all cost. I canceled and deleted all my information within a half hour.

While there are real people on the site, the operators engage in fraud every day, First, no natter how many times you put auto-renew on OFF, the system will auto renew. Forget trying to make picture private because the function doesn't work. In fact, the site is so poorly designed that I wish you the best of luck on figuring out how to make pics private. I've been on this site for years, on and off, and have finally reached the off side on a permanent basis. Nothing has changed over the years. The people who run it should probably have been prosecuted or fined into oblivion years ago for their fraudulent practices.

It's frustrating. It lacks a lot to be desired.
I will never use it again. My experience overall bad.

This adds are fake made by the same people that run this site. They pretend to be real people but you soon find out that is just scammers sitting in the Phillipines...you will never meet anyone no matter what you do.its sad that sites have to do this for money...also your credit card information is at risk. Shortly after we signed up we started to get fraud churches in our card. DO NOT UAE THIS SITE IF YOU WANT TO MEET REAL PEOPLE.

I'm a woman, I was on AFF for about 4 days. The gender balance must be skewed because I got like 300 messages in that time. I couldn't reply to all of them. Many guys started off mean because they thought I was a fake profile. Many guys messaged aggressively over and over again. Then suddenly my account got reported and deleted. I think it was someone in my inbox I hadn't replied to. Thought it was a fluke so made a new profile and started building connections again, and within 2 days someone reported me and got my account deleted. All the men complain about bots… but report and ban real women for not responding fast enough. I never did anything against community guidelines and all my interactions were polite and flirtatious. The company refused to look into the reason I was flagged. If you're a dude you should know that some losers on the site make it their personal mission to ban real women.

AFF has quite the scam going on the site. A good majority of the profiles are fake. I counted 8 different profiles with the same chick in the photos, in 6 different cities. And when i signed up, it was supposed to be a month, and they digged me for 3 months. Putiing this out in every review i can find.

Originally started by a crossdresser, Andrew. You can imagine the deception was baked in. He sold way back and it has gotten somewhat worse. It's more broken and JANKY after they invited Andrew back to improve the site. He is an incompetent programmer. I have purchased about 1 year of membership over the last 15 yrs. I joined and quit multiple times. It's a great place for men who call themselves straight but like to post and view pictures of other mens' penis. About the time of the pandemic it became almost 100% fake on the women's side and that continues. Their support is all offshore, so the employees might be making some extra cash by creating scam profiles. I emailed 800 people last summer, and got back about 500 emails that were clearly pasted or robot responses. They did not correspond to what I wrote. I think 1 or 2 of them was appeared to be written by someone who understood what I wrote. I also got back 2 that were Tagalog for F U. My copy and paste email was implying they did sexual things with their pets. The scam seems like something a 13 yr old child would write. But men do fall for it and there is always guys like the one pictured. He paid extra for that VIP status (yet knows most here are fake) and it's clearly not going to help him meet anyone. Perhaps he too enjoys men admiring his penis. A lot of delusion here. There will be 1 in 500 women, who are real, they also appear to be 400plus lbs and it on here for compliments. These men are very very complimentary to anything they think is a sexual option. Also, the more tasteless the womans' pics the most likely it's legit. See 20 shots taken 2 inches from a vagina,see methed out skanks, and poor picture quality. That's an AFF winner. The site is also very JANKY and they have no interest in fixing it. The messenger is inoperative, Other ongoing bugs: you get a notice on emails in DEC but it was sent in April. There are profiles that show they were online a month ago, but they added friends yesterday, etc. These have been reported and never fixed. They let the idiot Andrew make some changes and he broke about 100 things that worked to add 10 new features.

Chatted with 5 different females. 4 out of the 5 lied of their locations and used every excuse to try to scam money for different reasons and wanting amazon gift cards or other type of cards
And phone numbers they would text from were all false numbers

All of their AIs cannot answer simple yes or no questions do not respond for at least a week or two threatening to illegally sue you if you try to cancel your credit card stay away from this site. Complete joke.

Was trying to get a gold membership, which is $24, but they try to charge me $64, DO NOT PAY! SCAM

I bought a 3 month membership. I was not happy with it, I got to chat with a few people, which was fun. I found no one I wanted to meet, or to have cyber with.

With about three weeks left on my membership, I wrote on my profile, I was no longer willing to pay for the membership.

Somehow,,,, it was changed to " I am willing to pay for sex" Crooked Moderators? Who knows.

I was send a notice to change my profile. I was working at the time it came
I received a notice I was banned for soliciting an hour later.

I was still working. I tried to call customer support and they told me my profile said "I was willing to pay for sex"

There is no appeal, I asked if I could see what it said on my profile and was told I would need a court order to see it.

It's no big deal, as I spent my time avoiding the bots and scammers when I was there.

It might be an alright site for a young person, I am older, I did talk to some nice people. However, most the sex stuff seemed to be gay orientated, not my cup of tea.

As you can see by the letters they can't even keep straight what they claim I did

When I first used this site in 2012 I had no problems whatsoever meeting real people it was just narrowing it down to who I would choose. I started up an account again about a month ago with a paid gold membership and haven't come across ANY real people. They're all fake. A couple conversations went as far as sure we can hook up but I have to pay up front first either with cash or an apple gift card. What a waste of time and money.

AdultFriendFinder it's like taking all the scammers and frauds on earth and putting them in this website. From the day I started on this app I was literally reporting over 20 scammers per day to AdultFriendFinder and their response to me in their email replies were we don't have anything to do with scammers. We don't pay them and we can't stop them. Now had I seen this in an advertisement before I spent money on this $#*! hole site I never would have joined. Like all dating sites you have to expect some ratio of scammers. AFF brings that ratio in my view in my calculations eight out of 10 members on these sites or scammers. The entire messaging protocol for lease scammers is once they receive your message. The first thing they want to do is go to Google chat or Skype get your email or get your cell phone so you can talk in private. Once you tell them no they're gone deactivated account then you have the profiles and the pictures that don't match a profile will say I'm 50 years old and the picture will show a female not even 18. There are also profiles that grammatically embarrass the instructor whoever taught an English class in school, so you know that these profiles are written by foreigners who don't understand the English language grammar. Then there are really stupid scammers who put their screen name up and use the 900 number nine 9909 after their name. This is an indication that this scammer is coming from North Africa, because that is there I don't wanna say ZIP Code, but it is their location code of where they're scamming from. Then of course you have some of the scammers who for instance a female profile will say my name is SophiaJason22, or SuzetteJohn3452, AshleySam7400… these can be prostitutes or scammers who are actually in groups, and this is how they make their money online there are associated with some representation, so they put that in the screen name. People stay away from AFF. It is a cesspool. If you want nasty pictures if you want liars cheats scammers prostitutes, children acting as adults. This is the so-called dating site for you, but if you're a decent human being, I would stay the hell away from this site.

A.F.F. Blocks and bans accounts at random for no reason. This has happened to me five times in one month. And they wont tell you why, or what you are doing wrong. After a few days of registering, you'll get a msg. Saying your log in info doesn't match their record when it actually does. So don't purchase a gold membership. You'll be banned after 3 or 4 days and you wont get a refund.

This site has been around for ages, and I'm sure at some point in the distant past it may have been "the world's largest adult community", but there's hardly any active users on there. Most would have been roped in to sign up and then realised that the site is barely usable without a paid membership (which isn't exactly cheap). It's anyone's wonder these guys still exist, when there are so many better FREE alternative hook up apps available.

I had had a free ("Standard") account on AFF for years, just as a kind of timewaster. December of2023 I bit the bullet and paid for a "Gold" membership". I used a $30 store gift card to buy a month's worth of Gold membership which was supposed to cost $27.99 and AFF took the whole $30. I also think they shorted me a day on the month's worth. A Gold membership is supposed to let send and receive messages to/from other Gold members, but when I started keeping track I found that less than a third of women on the site were Gold members, maybe only a quarter. Gold membership also lets you send messages to Standard (free) members, but it was never clear to me whether they could reply. AFF sells a "Standard Contacts" package (for $35 per month) which is supposed to allow Standard members to send unsolicited messages to you, essentially doubling the cost of a paid membership.
Of the two dozen or so women Gold members to whom I sent messages, only 2 or 3 bothered to reply, and then only to tell me (politely) that they weren't interested. I received "auto-reply" messages from a couple of them telling me that they would get back to me when they got a chance. I did have one nice conversation with a woman outside my search radius, but that's all it was. Several women did contact me who clearly were scammers of some sort, one who really wanted me to send her my cell number.
AFF profiles indicate when a member joined and his/her last login. I noticed a substantial number of women's profiles which had not been logged into since the day they were put up months or years earlier. They had either found someone that quick, or had soured on the AFF experience that quick.
I also noticed that anomalous clusters of women listed certain small towns as their location. It does not surprise me that there are female AFF members in small towns, maybe even two in a town of less than 1000 population, but when there is 3 or 4, I'm betting that at least one is a fake of some sort.
I decided not to renew my Gold membership, and, sure enough, the day it expired, I got a bunch of messages, including one from one of the auto-reply ladies.
It may be possible, were I patient enough, that I could meet an interesting woman through AFF, but I am no longer willing to pay for the privilege. AFF may not be a scam, but it's probably a waste of your time and money.

The vast majority of profiles are fake...scammers trying to get details for id theft, or get you off platform and send you phishing links or invitations to dubious websites.

In addition to no vetting process for profiles, I was ironically
suddenly locked out of site two thirds of way through my subscription period, and when I wrote to help desk to get help, after numerous emails back and forth was told I had violated their terms of use and my account was being deleted with no refund, no explanation or proof of what terms of use had been violated, and no terms of recourse offered.

Shameful extortionist racket.
Will see if Australian consumer protection offices such as the dept of fair trading have any advice on taking on a US based corporate scam. In the meantime suggest Red Hot Pie ( also has fake profiles, but fewer, and there is recourse because local, a much better option.

Too many fake multiple profiles. No way to filter out homosexual or tranny people from searches or from contacting you. Too any young women attempting to scam older men. The almost $28 for one month gets you access. Everything else is added purchase including allowing free members to contact you. Should that not be my option if I am paying for full access? By not allowing free members to access me, it denies my purchased full access!

The site is a scam. They will close your account for reasons such as "violation of terms of use" and never send an email with the terms of use so you can find out what you did that was wrong. They will send notification from interested members to your email, but no emails to tell you that your account was closed or why. They do not refund your money either. If you pay $245 for a year membership, they will not give it back. My account was closed while it was being reviewed for approval. I got only three days of limited use before they closed it and took my money. The phone support is rude and unhelpful. They claim you can not get information about your account without a court order. So, you have no recourse to complain about their predatory policies.

They lure you in with things like pics and live chat which never work. Then they log you out remotely and when you try to use your password to reenter they reject it. They then reject the code they themselves emailed you. If you complain enough, they remotely log you back in again but it only lasts awhile. When you try complaining they suggest you upgrade to GOLD service. It's a scam. The escorts are not even real. Avoid at all costs!

The whole site is ridiculous, having been based in Brighton and looking for members within a 50 mile radius, over 90% are listed from coming from Aldershot in the UK for some reason? Aldershot -Surrey, Aldershot- Sussex, Aldershot - Liverpool, Aldershot -Hampshire, Aldershot -Italy, Aldershot -London, and so it goes on. Either move to Aldershot where all these bots come from, or don`t waste your time signing up in the 1st place. The latter is the better of 2 options.

Despite seeing a few web pages that claim this is as legit as it gets, it's still a poor page. The layout is fine and manageable. I had to call customer service to fix an email issue that was my fault and they took care of it quickly. Once I had a profile set up, the problems started. I have received 50 messages the first day, 49 from a woman probably well out of my league claiming they are "in my area for work" and of course they need sex. I tried to hang on for a few days because I did see some promising profiles but they were old. It's not worth the trouble and definitely not worth the money.

Out if 65 contacts and conversations with the women on AFF 100% of them have asked me to either join a pay for chat or pay for verification or directed me to some other pay for site. I have come to the conclusion that not only does AFF know this but they actually condone this. Making AFF a scam site as well. Save your time effort and money. It's not worth any if it.

Don't waste your time or money here. The majority of the profiles are scammers. I found this out by simply replying to messages that are asking for to "know more about you" that one of the big things I don't do is to give out money. Never hear from them again. I also noticed 2 exact profiles with different names, ages, and locations. Same pictures and descriptions. So chances are, if they aren't scammers, then the profile was created by AFF employees to lure you in. About the only thing I found real was the Members Webcams.
