I found that most of the guys that contacted me on this site were very pushy to text using my real phone number or other platform instead of trying to get to know me a little first. I was VERY clear I was interested in LTR only - not hookups, but I suspect most men on there only care about casual hookups. Huge turn off for me. It was a gross experience for me. Another experience where a bigger woman is being taken advantage of or not being respected for who she is. Very sad.
I'm afro Trinidadian. Gave my number to a caucasian UK guy name Tom. Everything was cool until he confessed his depression and anxiety to me. I was cool about it until he started calling my phone drunk. He started to belittle my career said I'm a fool for feeding the poor and working so much. He called me a black slave and so forth. Was very crazy. He even said he was speaking to 50 other women on the site and I'm the only one who rejected him. I'm so disgusted won't advise anyone to make an effort on this site much less spend money on VIP packages!
Hi Lizzy,

I'm happy I only signed up for 1 mth. W/ no renewal. I live in NYS, asked for 50-mile radius, getting from Australia and the UK. All the men have the classic sign of scammers. This is a terrible dating site. DO NOT waste your money.
Dear Donna,
We are sorry our app is not meeting your expectations. BBWCupid is still in the process of creating a new member network. Our members reside vastly in the US but we also have a large number of international members. We have zero-tolerance towards members of the nature you described. Our fraud prevention team works 24/7 to remove non-genuine profiles. If you would like to report a suspicious profile, please submit a ‘report abuse’ form or contact us at www.bbwcupid.com/en/help/helpdesk
Just use Feabie or something else.
If the website wasn't completely based on lies, it might be a worthwhile site to go on. Maybe if you didn't have to pay to do something as basic as sending messages, you might have more people willing to stick around.
Don't let them tell you otherwise. They bait you into buying a subscription with fake messages, but once you sign up, you get nothing. It's a classic cheat business strategy by dating sites.
The site is a scam.
Dear Jeremiah,
Were there any specific concerns that caused you to give the app a negative review? If you have any concerns, we would love to help you with them. Please contact us at www.bbwcupid.com/en/help/helpdesk
I never subscribe to the philing dating site. And I still receive their hard up and desperate gmails without any physical or legitimate way to unsubscribe. Fix faulty unsubscribe link(s) that obviously aren't meant to work. Or stop spamming random gmail accounts. Or I will report you to the better business bureau
Dear Ginger,
The said screenshot does not seem to be coming from our end. We do not condone the business in the nature you decribed above. If you have any specific complaints regarding our site please contact www.bbwcupid.com/en/help/helpdesk and we will be happy to be of service.
It appears promising at first until 2 weeks later you realise it's the same people over and over again. Most profiles are fake and frustrating. It's a shame as its a great idea. Not even sure if those testimonials are real.

I received two email notifications that I created an account. They both said "Dear Grace..."
I am a 50-year-old married man who has never seen or heard of this website. This appears to be a fishing expedition on BBWCupids' part. I would really like to know where they got my work email.
I'm not about to click on either of the links that say;
"You have received this email because you are a member of BBWCupid.com. Unsubscribe
Didn't create this profile? Switch off account
Why would a reputable website have an option that says "Didn't create this profile?" The FCC will be getting this report as well.
While it's nice to see that BBWCupid responded, but my hunch is that it was only a PR ploy. My review was not just a one time experience. It was based on time spent on the site over a significant amount of time... TWO years on and off. Problem with their response of 'constantly improving' is that my experience told me that was NOT true. I contacted them during my experiences and responses were akin to placating me with NO real help. The issues they have... the ones I found most offensive... are all part of hooking clients and other marketing ploys. I've had quite a bit of experience with these sites and finally decided that they are all traps. The percentages are NOT in favor of the clients. Bottom line... these sites are nothing more than gambling!

So decided to give this one a go, good thing I didnt pay for premium! Spend there less than half a day and when I tried to log in again got
"In order to maximize interest in your profile and improve your response rate we recommend re-assigning your profile to one of the other sites in our dating network. Therefore, please follow the instructions in the email that we sent to you detailing how to join the most appropriate site in order to maximize interest in your profile". Wasnt I big enough or what?
By the way they didnt even bothered to send me that email, they mentioned!
Anyway, just few observations, besides the rude and unjust deletion of my profile, there was almost no people online, maybe about 240 active at the time, majority (like 90% of ppl) is not premium (gold\platimum) so you cant communicate with them unless you pay 30$ for a month.
A lot of profiles havent been active for couple of weeks.

I have been on this site for 5 months now and have met nothing but pig men looking for free sexting or naked pics. If they wanted that they should go pay for it elsewhere. Most men on there are in relationships and lie. I've been contacted by two women who found out their husband was cheating on them and I had no idea. I've been harassed by creeps and threatened and the site coordinators did nothing about it or terminated this individuals account even after I sent them proof of the threats. Bottomline this is not a dating site at all, it's a joke!

I tried this site because wanted to try something different. I was on there for 3 days and got fat shamed by a guy I was interested in. I thought I would be comfortable on this site since I was overweight and others there would be okay with that. I just talked to the guy one day and he was already making comments about my looks suggesting I change my look and lose weight. The hurt my self esteem and confidence. I wanted to delete my profile, but you really can't. So I sent them a message about my experience and that I wanted to remove my account. Well I never got an email back from them. They just rudely terminated my profile without any explanation. I will never go back.

I have been a longtime free user of BBWCupid, until this year and I tried a week. That was a mistake. I got responses from scammers, all over the world. A common tactic is to get you off the Cupid Media text system, which is lousy, and on to whats app. I eventually figured out the scam and it was a guy pretending to be female. However, after I let my account lapse back to free user, I still was the target of scam activity. This time upgraded bogus accounts with beautiful women, "too good to be true" started sending messages for my matrimony. I report the profile and it comes back, usually from the same country. So, I asked support for help blocking the scammers country. Nope, Cupid Media believes scammers have the right to target you and you must inhibit each one individually. That Sucks. It means The user must actively block. I can't even GeoFence to my state or city. So, Cupid media is a time waster and not even worth pay for. I ask the women that go for long term upgraded accounts and Its scammers that contact them. Not recommended, unless there's facetime, over coffee.
They ask for your NI number and passport and will only let you read messages if you pay (hint: none of the girls pay, so cough up guys). Added to the fact that there was only about 5 girls in my area that had logged on in the past month (I live in a major city) makes me never want to go on this site ever again! STAY AWAY

I used this site years ago and it wasn't nearly as bad as it is now. The site is full of scammers. Within four weeks of being on this site I have been identified four scammers. One even asked me to send them money to come see me. This is the worst site ever. The fraud team doesn't even do anything about it when you contact them. They just tell you to block the person. I guess you can block that person and then they can go on to find someone who is more desperate or more lonely to dupe. This site has some serious issues.

I used to work for this scam company.
All the reviews are accurate, we scam people for money and when the money runs out we cry to Dan Andrews who shut down Sittr because he has invested in the company with Covid money meant for the people in Victoria, Australia. He also gave Covid money to Jason and Maureen who own the site called Sexyads.
Andrews shut down Sittr because it's well known that he has used prostitutes during Covid and is currently having to pay a prostitute who has a photograph of his penis as collateral. She met and had sex with him, breaking Covid laws at the time, he tried to 'get it' for free, she refused and he got angry. She got smart and now Andrews' is a sad, fat, micro-penised guy.
Anyway, 90% of the photos are fake and there's no guarantee of replies from people - most people even with Gold and Platinum memberships are fake as well.
They don't even bother trying to hide it. Take your money, try to top off by getting an ID, then ignore all attempts at contact. My guess: front for terrorist organization or cartel.
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY. IF YOU'RE LUCKY YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO CANCEL YOUR CREDIT CARD.
Hi Bud,
In order to prevent fraudulent payments on our websites, our billing department reviews certain transactions. For some transactions, we require additional verification to prove that the person making the transaction is authorized to do so.
CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS: we request that you email us proof that you are in possession of your credit card.
To do this, please send us a scanned copy of your credit card AND a copy of your government-issued photo ID to team@AussieCupid.com. Your attachment must be in. Jpg,. Gif,. Bmp or. Png format.
We must clearly see your name and the first 6 numbers on the front of your card. You should cover up the other details on your card for your protection.
NOTE: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU SEND THE FULL DETAILS OF YOUR CREDIT CARD.
Please contact us at www.bbwcupid.com/en/help/helpdesk if you have any further concerns.
I was signing up for an account for on this site. Within 10 minutes of setting up my email and my password, I started filling out the profile information and uploaded three photos. All of this took 9 minutes. Imagine my surprise when I was logged out.
I thought it was kind of weird, so I go back to login only to pop up a screen that says that my account has been blocked for fraud. And that I can contact their customer service.
So I go ahead and I email their customer service, and I get a email response back asking for a copy of my driver's license. I sent an email back explain that I'm not really comfortable sending out my driver's license because it could be used for fraud, but that I would be happy to block out my driver's license numbers and things of that information. I have not heard back.
The whole situation seemed to very sketchy and weird to me. How could my account be marked as fraudulent and shut down within less than 10 minutes of creating an account on the website? I hadn't even had a chance to interact with anybody because it was marked so quickly.
So the email address that the customer service will email you from is from Zendesk? That seemed kind of weird as well.
I went ahead and included both screenshots below. That also indicate the timestamps in between how quickly I was alledgedly marked as a suspicious account.
I'm really happy that I decided to read the reviews on this website before providing them with my driver's license. Because now I can see that this is not an isolated incident, and it looks like something scammy.
I came on the site hoping to connect with people who wanted a relationship but received so many emails just for hookups (even though I specifically said no hookups/fwb) and there was no way to filter them! I'm in Canada and getting messages from all over the world! How does that help me? There's no way to choose who can message me or prevent creeps from having access to me. This is a profoundly unsafe site. Even their reporting function is useless! I have to email them to report someone? I told two guys I wasnt interested and they were rude and used foul language. Their response was to give me an incident report And to tell me to block them. Duh! I figured that out on my own. Women need more to be safe on an online dating site. This is clearly a male-centred, sex-centred and misogynistic site. Even more, it is such a user-unfriendly site. They're getting a poor review from me everywhere I can make one.
Update:
They have now confirmed they will not give me a refund even though I have not made any matches and am not using their site. Just opening an email is enough for them to refuse to refund you. SCAM!
Update: they finally gave me a full refund after I threatened to report them to the authorities.

So, being new to dating larger women, I thought I would give this site a try. STAY AWAY! So many toxic, racist, entitled women, full of fake profiles and obvious scammers on this site. In my experience thus far, most women on this site weren't looking for a "good man", the qualities of a good husband, boyfriend or possible father to future kids. What I encountered was most of these women were looking for the ideas of what a man is supposed to be. Most women I know in real life gave my looks an 8/10 with a good personality to match but the women on here are completely unrealistic. Unless you're perfect don't even bother gentlemen which I found highly ironic by the way, seeing how a lot of these women wanted so much in a partner that them themselves don't even have half of. Even the women I did talk to were just plain delusional. They had unresolved issues, entitled, and with monstrous tempers. I found most of the women on here to be so full of themselves that they came across as booshie, vain and stuck up and result of those people are on this site. I'm guessing that they might have thought that their dream lover was on here and that things would be different, a case were the "grass is greener on the other side" which is really sad because I do feel that this could be a great website for people to come together to truly establish a relationship. Oh and don't even get me started on the fake profiles and the scammers on here. BBW Cupid, I hope in the future you can take more time to screen the people you admit on your site and remove profiles that are either fraudulent or inactive. Gents, look elsewhere and save your money.
Used Been Verified on every guy I got very friendly with. Scammers! Perverts, many are just there to find phone sex. Want my money back! What a sham!
Answer: It scams men too, trust me. The whole site is fake profiles.
Answer: ALL the dating sites are better than BBWCupid. Do NOT waste your money.
BBWCupid has a rating of 1.2 stars from 52 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. BBWCupid ranks 621st among Dating sites.
Dear J N,
We apologize for your unwelcoming experience. We have zero-tolerance towards members of the nature you described. Unfortunately, it is extremely hard for us to verify the real intentions of the members as most dating sites do not require any form of formal identification to register and most members use their private email address to communicate with members.
It is very sad that a small minority of dishonest people will make such a negative impression of our site, as the vast majority of the members registered with us are honest.
We do our best to remove these people from our site, deleting any profiles showing dubious photos or information, as soon as we see them, however, we also rely on our valued members who kindly report to us any suspect or fake profiles they find on our site.
In addition, Our fraud prevention team works 24/7 to remove non-genuine profiles. If you would like to report a suspicious profile, please submit a ‘report abuse’ form or contact us at www.bbwcupid.com/en/help/helpdesk
