If you are looking for a woman you might be texting to a man hidden behind woman's pictures, no background check mandatory
Many, many fake profiles. Pictures from known (and less known) latina models taken from Instagram. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Somehow, due to lack of proper security measures on ColumbianCupid and other CupidMedia-affiliated websites, a scammer managed to set up a fake profile using *my* email address without my knowledge or consent. I was surprised when I received a registration confirmation from ColumbianCupid, since I had never signed up for an account myself. The email I received was not a verification link, but a confirmation that a (fake) profile had already been set up using my email address! The website obviously allows scammers to register without verification, thereby allowing them to use email addresses other than their own. I contacted ColumbianCupid as well as CupidMedia via email and their online help, asking them to remove the fake account that is fraudulently using my email address, but I received no response from them despite multiple emails and help requests. Their customer service completely ignored my emails, which gave the impression that they support the establishment of fake profiles on their website. Absolutely horrible experience, both with their alarming security breach, and their indifferent customer service! This has happened to me more than once on multiple CupidMedia-affiliated websites, where my email address is somehow leaked and used by scammers on these websites. The CupidMedia customer service is apparently completely fine with that, judging from the fact that they disregarded all my attempts to contact them. BEWARE!

I typically don't comment on these message boards but I've read the posts and most are pretty off as far as the women go. Granted there are certainly those women in Colombia looking for "a way out". If you go to Colombia with the typical American attitude of "saving them", you will most certainly meet the women you all are referring to. I met a woman on Colombiancupid site almost 2 years ago. We've had our offs and ons and she can be quite difficult at times. We're still together. Did she think all Americans are rich? Yes. Did she learn that, in fact, all are not rich? Yes, after explaining how the US is and works. DOne poster/reviewer here said most women have been raped at least twice and are victims of violent crimes everyday. She didn't get raped 2 times and she has never been a victim of a violent crime. I've met her family and, gasp, none of them have been raped or victims of violent crime. I have many friends - male and female - in Medellin and they are all warm and wonderful people. My suggestion would be to anybody who reads this is to leave your American attitude at home and don't flash your expensive jewelry or talk about your cars and homes. Women looking for money are all over the world. You want to tell me that Russian women on dating sites aren't looking for a guy with money? Or the orient? Or POF (plenty of fish)? Bottom line is that any dating site will bring out the worst of people. Just be patient, don't be their savior, keep it all simple and go to Medellin and experience the culture and meet some women. Know Spanish before you go - at least a bit.

Colombia is known for Gold, emeralds, and some of the most beautiful women in the world. So a site like this comes up showing these girls looking for a ticket out of a difficult life, and, what's best then hooking up with an American citizenship who is looking to hook with one of these gems?
So this site seems perfect on all accounts.
The problem is, there quite a few people trying to scam men out of money and that's where the problem lies.
The site does try to protect their members by posting warnings about tactics used by women and scammers from other countries. But they cannot stop certain things from happening.
Here are a few tips from my personal experience. I 'm too old and wise to fall for some of these tactics, but it does happen.
First tool we all have is common sense, use it!
Number one. No 20 year old women that looks like she should be on TV is going to want to leave her country to live with some old fart, unless it's someone like Warren Buffett!
I mean, look at some of the profiles, some of them post their target age range from 40-99!
Now, I'm a 65 year old male who has conserved himself by never drinking or smoking and it shows on my profile
I get likes from 18-60 year old women.
Even the 60 year old's are hot.
Here are are some of the tactics to watch out for based on my experience.
The first phasing trick is the "Like" it's meant for members that are attracted to you, to show interest. Most of the time it's some gorgeous female wearing skimpy clothes,
So you are flattered and you reply.
You reply in a short sentence or paragraph asking to clear up something on their profile. Scammers don't have time for that so they will respond in (what I think) pre-fabricated phrases, or just answer, "Si" or "no" and will tell you little or nothing about themselves. What they will do is say something like, "Hey good looking, fate has brought you here, I really want to know more about you, her is my number, call me on Watsapp" it's there way of luring you from the safety of the site. The staff try to monitor these things and kick them off the site but they can't catch them all. They do post tips and warnings about scammers.
There are some honest women on there but they are not that marketable or they are young and have multiple children that come with the package. I'm just to old to support a young women and her kids, who knows who fathered them and what's in their DNA!
I hope this was some help!
Fake, the site has a bussines with the contact and ask you money and send money by mobile charge, es todo mentiras te piden tu telefono para chatear en wassa y luego te piden dinero para que les pages el pasaporte y recargas de telefono, es un timo y la web esta invoulcrada en ello, las autoridades deberian de intervenir

Cliente da anni, sospeso da colombiacupid senza rimborso pur con decine di comunicazioni attiva con vari contatti solo perché ho cambiato email! Perso gran parte dei contatti per i quali oltretutto avevo pagato! Assistenza ottusa e odiosa! La rabbia mi è durata settimane! Parlo di 7 o 8 anni fa!
Todas las chicas colombianas en este sitio temen a los hombres de piel oscura... Especialmente a las chicas con cabello rubio. Envié un mensaje a una rubia colombiana en este sitio... ¿Y adivina qué? Ella me bloqueó sin ninguna razón. Creo que están esperando a ser escritos por sus hombres blancos de Europa del Este. Piensan que es una amenaza para un chico negro mezclado como yo escribirlos. Creo que le tienen miedo a los niños de color. Intenta evitar este sitio... Todas las chicas solo te bloquearán si eres negro o mixto. Tienen miedo de nuestro tipo. Tienes una mejor oportunidad en este sitio con una rubia colombiana... Si eres miembro de una banda de kpop o te ves como un guapo chico blanco de Europa o América. ¡Mira a otro lado!
Answer: It's highly likely that you will be charged for more than a month, as they love bogus unauthorized charges there. Why don't you try a pay-per-letter site, i. E. https://j4l.com/402007 You know exactly what you're paying for and you can check it out to see if you like it for a much lower price than Columbiancupid membership. Another trick with CC, when you buy membership, lots of your contacts will disappear, they will not write you back. The reason is that CC uses bots to attract clients, they make you believe that you are very popular, in order to make you pay.
