Oh my goodness gracious this unholy website should be wiped off the face of the Earth. This website is the home of many predators, criminals, rude people, very old people, creeps, fetishists, scammers, and even bots all waiting to steal any valuable information you have. Once, I pretended to be a CHILD on this website to see how much predators I could catch in a DAY. I caught SO MUCH I can't even remember how much I caught, which tells you how dark this site really is. And even the predators just scratch the surface of the iceberg because there are deeper and more disturbing things I have seen people talk about and do which they have no fear telling you and then stupidly explaining why "it's not wrong" which is extremely disturbing and stupid behaviour. You can rarely have any FRIENDLY conversations on the site because there are so many perverts just wanting pictures and social medias of you and nothing else. They don't even want to get to know you or anything, so don't expect to make real friendships or relationships on this website if that is what you are looking for. This website is also terribly broken and has server errors every 5 minutes and the host isn't even working properly. These developers don't listen to you nor anyone's complaints so don't even try with them because I doubt they will do anything about their users and sloppily made website. The developers should also be ashamed of themselves and be sent to jail for so many red flags. How embarrassing. Please avoid this website if you know what is good for you... Also, I have the pictures of all the predators I have caught. I am not blurring out any of their names, in fact, I will put BOLD RED SQUARES around their usernames so people would figure out who some these weirdos are and block and report them to the right people. I hope they truly go to jail someday. Overall, terrible website. I am done ranting

Tip for consumers:
Beware of the degenerates, please

This site is nothing but pedophiles and scammers of all sorts…And, the worst offenders are the moderators. Tons of out in the open pedophile names, people who have "Under age" in their screen name… phone card scams, streaming scams…The moderators will even use your information to hack into your own personal account.

There is no "chat" going on at this site… FBI, shut this place down.

This entire site fully supports pedos, sex offenders, harassment, illegal behavior. If u report any of these things the site, its creator, and it's employees do NOTHING. But we the "grown men" get rejected they throw a tantrum and u get banned immediately. This site, it's creator, and it's employees should be shut down and charged for all the illegal things associated with this site. God forbid u try to log in for a normal conversation bc all u do is immediately have people saying the most stuff to you.

Freechatiw us and uk has 90% scammers working the same or similar scam. Many pretend to be females search for men to meet. Then when the haul u in they ask for money such as to cover gas for car journeys or steam card to keep their child happy while they entertain u. Scam is they always want these up front prior to meeting u. Basically to extort u from your hard earn cash with no real reason to meet u. Most these scammers come from Nigeria and US. Beware dont fool for anyone who's asks u for any kind of payment up front

Chatiw is flooded with pedophiles and scammers. Reporting people does nothing and they don't seem to care about privacy on this website.

It's flooded with predators, child groomers, abuse-lovers and other cybercriminals. Most of them are fake profiles.

For the gullible and sadistic few.

How this site has the nerve to class itself as a chat site I'll never know! A) it takes forever to load, or doesn't load at all B) it's impossible to have a chat conversation here because it's so slow, and messages you send just disappear from the screen.
All in all a car crash of a site, don't bother!

Site full of fake profiles and Bots, also men pretending to be women. Men must outnumber the genuine women 30 to 1. Complete waste of time, loads of sicko names inferring pdo and rape and incest. It really is terrible. Also full of sad married men. It constantly logs you out and bombards you with scam bot messages. Avoid.

I'v done nothing wrong on the site. I've been polite and not abusive or rude. But it's banned me for the third time this week for 48 hours. I think it's something to do with sending messages too quickly as a caution against scammers. But that's a bit rich as the site hosts scammers posing as women. I had 27 messages from them in 15 minutes one evening. Also, click on 'chat history' and it will lock out for over a minute. Many people can't load images as it asks for points. More fool them if they pay. Also, beware of the awful, clunky beta version.

Without a doubt the most frustrating, aggravating and broken app on the web. How can anyone carry on a conversation with a junky app that constantly needs refreshed and ends up booting you off?
Your garbage should be banned forever IMHO!

Once again while I was enjoying some clean conversations, the monitor broke into my chat and cut me off from those I was talking to. Mind you, there are planet ads from children stating they are under age, and there are many who advertise various sex sites, however I know the monitors do nothing to block them because the same user names appear time after time. Amongst all the trash there are a few diamonds, however the monitors are destroying this site.

Tip for consumers:
Use a different site. Chatiw is a waste of your time.

I think they're using a vintage second hand Amstrad for their server. It freezes every thirty seconds for minutes at a time. It's impossible to have a flowing chat. You'll spend most of your time browsing YouTube to keep you amused whilst you wait for it to unfreeze. It's awful. They also ban you for no apparent reason.

Tip for consumers:
Beware of sending them money for a subscription, you'll regret it.

This British women is an anti-vaxxer who promotes conspiracy theories on her cringe inducing Twitter account called Tess Summers 98. She has some kind of dubious agreement with the criminal gangs who own this chat site and she creates numerous aliases both male and female to satisfy her depraved sexual appetites and also to exchange illegal beaches of personal information about unsuspecting members of the public she has taken a dislike toward, with thuggish ex military types, drug dealers from Manchester and corrupt local landlords and lettings agencies. She is utterly corrupt yet still ironically she calls great philanthropists such as Bill Gates corrupt.

Absolutely worst type of man possible on this site. 95% are married. 95% are looking for lewd chat. 99.9% are very unattractive physically, semi illiterate, unintelligent and very, very dull to interact with.

The monitors are completely out of control. Anyone who wants to have a decent chat and blocks the sponsored paid sex ads becomes automatically targeted and banned. The police should shut this site down. They allow the dating site Ashley Madison--a site that encourages married people to cheat on their spouses--to advertise on their site. This really says it all. Inane supervision, banning of legitimate people. However 14 year olds are allowed free access.

If your after a quick jolly and are attached/unattached this is definitely a great site.
If you want a clean conversation and have a moral compass then I'd avoid like the plague.
For people wanting to make friends have an intelligent meaningful connection you'll find it demoralising.
In my opinion chatwi is pretty vile and if your not like minded get abused for not wanting to "play".

There is absolutely no way to continue a conversation after a few PMs. Without fail it stops working and then crashes totally resetting everything. There is also no shortage of fake accounts to help waste your time and seize up the site. The dev's should be ashamed allowing this gatbage

E-chat was closed by the authorities 6 weeks ago, it should have been Chatiw Uk US... it will be next! Crawling with underage and pedos and sex spammers. Its owned by an Algerian called Nassim Mehbali, an Algerian, he says he is in Algeria and tries hared to hide. He is actually in the UK. This is a revenue raising site, is it registered with Companies House... NO, Does it pay tax... NO. The quicker this cesspit is taked offline the better... Must be serious taxation owed to the Revenue by now!
