I payed $100 for 200 credits. It was used up in less then a day. I received notification of messages but they were only telling me people didn't respond to winks so I was charged for those as well.I also received five Google messages from woman just asking for money for groceries. It's a scam! Worst site I've been on.

Waste of time and money
July 15, 2021

So many scammers its ridiculous. Only after a week and 150 bucks more frustrating than exciting. The site many bits, fake profiles and just as you think you found a match then profile is no longer around, I'm guessing belated because it's a scammer. This has turned in to more of a SB/SD site. Might just as well go there for real success. Navigating and loading pictures here is not the most friendly either. So many better sites out there... good luck

No encounter
January 20, 2017

Took credits like a running tap i purchased £61 membership at midnight I only logged in couple of times didn't chat to one lady and no credits left and they asking me to buy more credits. Are people seriously buying a encounter or even a connection from this site. It's a utter awful scam I am certain the reviews are fake bots. I have to call my bank tomorrow as mastercard and visa have a 541 day period to claim money back, it's nothing more than a naughty scam.

Works just fine if you are persistent and invest time and patience in a decent looking profile. AM never really disappointed me but it won't hurt to check out smaller sites like MysecretAffairs as well. However, if you are from a rural area AM is pretty much the only option for you. Just my opinion though.

My review
April 8, 2016

Those giving the totally negative reviews are probably guys who click on every message they get believing it to be genuine. There are definately fake profiles on ALL THE SITES but they are definately easy to spot. Why complain about the charge to delete the profile? Why not just stop using it? Unless you were dumb and put something on it that identifies yourself. It is possible to be successful without spending too much. I've had few affairs with women I met on AM and NoStringsAffair.com. Don't be fools and you'll get lucky!

Scam
July 1, 2015

I just thought every one should know. They do not charge women and only charge men. So one they discriminate against men. Two thats why the site is full of cam girls. So if you are a guy dont waste your time or money.

Why do most of the messages sent on this site go out into some black hole never to be answered?
Been a member almost two years and haven't met anyone. The more messages we send the more money it makes for the owner.
Is there a way we can select no stars?

Fake Profiles
March 24, 2015

I am very disappointed with this service. I have found several identical pictures with different names. Also when someone ask you to contact them, they never reply, come on they are stealing people's money.

Fake Profile site
October 24, 2015

As a previous ex owner of a large dating site I went on this to compare. It is clearly obvious that the owners of the site are undertaking fraudulent activities to gain money from members. They post fake profiles and send fake messages so that users use up their credits For which they are being changed.

Stay Well clear

AVOID this website a total waste of time money and emotion. From my experience, the site is filled with fake profiles. Not sure who is behind all these Fake profiles but use your common sense and see who benefits when they constantly try to get you to spend money on messages. Felt totally ripped off and someone needs to file a lawsuit against this company.

I think it has some merit, I've talked to some nice women there. Yes, folks are there to "cheat" if you like that term... I doubt however if many are there because their emotional and/or sexual needs are met.

The software badly needs an upgrade, as it is pretty user un-friendly, very clunky as opposed to some others of the same genre.

Their business model sucks big time IMHO, They very annoyingly ding you for credits all the time... a then you have to buy more instead of just a monthly fee.

They treat us like children so very unimpressive.

Complete scam
October 24, 2020

I made the mistake of joining Ashley Madison after seeing a positive reviews. Those reviews were B. S.
I have been contacted by 2 types of profiles on AM. I is the fake profile designed to get you to send messages at about 10$ a message. The other is somebody who will either ask you to pay to join another site for verification purposes, or try to get you to video chat with them on another app so they can try to extort you. I went along with these users to see where it would go.

As a newcomer to the world of infidelity dating sites, I'm trying a few for a month each and then ill decide which 1 if any I want to stay a member of. So far ive only tried one other site called nostringsaffair.com and rated it at 9/10.

Ok
April 4, 2016

I like AM, its really simple to use. Another site I tried recently was NostringsAffair.com after reading some good reviews. Their concept actually look quite similar but in reality NSA is cheaper to use. But anyway, nothing wrong with AM as an option for beginners to affairs dating.

This sits users use fake profiles to entice members into chatting and buying credits to keep on chatting! There were several users using the same profile pic on two different accounts! Then there were the profiles that wanted some members to text off site to do business away from the platform! There was also a group of Asians and people from other countries purporting themselves to be in the US attempting to get members to spend on credits! Question you have to ask yourself what kind of kickbacks are they giving some of these fake profiles! Advice you have a better chance of hooking up at the local bar or club then on this site, don't be suckers and waste your money!

Don't waste your money.
December 19, 2022

This site is a complete sham. I spent some time on this site and in that time I dealt with tons of bots, multiple attempts to scam me (asking for my number and such, come on now), and the final blow for me was a girl that I am certain was an escort (wants to be reimbursed for her room, cause she "travels" for work). We never actually met in person, she offered that up within a few responses. I never had one legitimate conversation. Luckily I got the lowest level of credits and spent no more. If you're looking for a good time, don't bother on Ashley Madison. I heard it was good several years ago, but it isn't good now. Total waste.

For all the reasons the men probably hate it, if you are an attractive attached woman it's fantastic. For men who think no one is real, it's because the reality is the real women just don't fancy you. Get over it. Why would an attractive 30 something old woman want to have an affair with an overweight, 50 something balding man? So yes, I was contacted by lots of unattractive, boring men but I also met one of the most beautiful, successful and intelligent lovers I have ever had. Go in ready to filter out all the noise and you will be rewarded.

Ashley Madison is real
November 11, 2014

Ashley Madison is real. I've been on the site for about four years and have met up with and had sex with over 8 women. It's a very slow and patient process. In addition, I'm mid 30's, in great shape, and picky. I'd say about a third of the attractive women are either fake profiles trying to get your email address. Another third are escorts or sugar babies. Fact of the matter is that the deck is stacked against you. However, when you are able to meet up with someone, it can be incredible. Keep the distances short as scheduling is a real challenge. Also, you have to remember the ratio of men to women. As a test, I have created a fake woman profile and gotten bombarded by men. For those folks complaining, take a look in the mirror and learn how to write some good copy. Women can get away with $#*!ty one sentence messages but men have to articulate. The numbers are against you.

Just a total rip off! $0.49 to buy 1 credit. But, you have to select one of their packages. Now a 200 point package seems to be the cheapest for a quick look. Fake profiles, Fake messages, hidden traps to lure even more points out of you. When I sent a message it cost me $3.43 US to send the messages. Then if you don't see send priority clicked on, they take even more credits. I have yet to have any email responded to by a real person it is a generic email. Nothing here but a path from wealth to poverty! Just Say No
