FilipinoCupidReviews 189

Signed up to Filipino Cupid several years ago and did find a Filipina, who I met and dated in real life for 2 years.

There are plenty of real Filipina's on the site BUT there are a HUGE number of scammers that make using the site extremely frustrating.

I found that I was spending about 90% of my time talking to scammers which only left a very small amount of time to talk to legitimate people who weren't out to fleece you.

Identifying the obvious ones is kind of easy (Snapchat, WhatsApp etc) - but it's almost impossible to be sure because some will drag it out for weeks before they think you're ready to send money.

Honestly I think it's better to give it a miss - jump on a plane - go to the country and meet someone there - hang out in any Jollybee for an afternoon and you'll have someone before you can say "more rice please"

I was flipping through this site for a couple of weeks. After being on there for a while today, I noticed how all the profile pictures have advertisement stamped on their pages. I asked them 2 questions. The first 2 were answered quickly. The second question being why the word advertisement was stamped all on the profile pages. They sent me back a reply about how third party advertisements would be visible until I upgraded. I sent them a reply telling them that's not what I meant, with an attachment containing a screenshot with an arrow pointing to exactly what I was talking about. The word advertisement clearly stamped on every profile page. Needless to say, I have not had a reply explaining why this exists. I held back on joining because of how fraudulent these sites are. That's holding back with over 100 messages in my emails. Most before i"d even put any info on my profile. Pretty ironic how they fein legitimacy with all the warnings about fraudsters on their site, yet they them selves are scamming. To anybody reading this, save your money. Go back to the site and see for yourself what I'm talking about. If it walks like and quacks like a duck...

Here are the scams, and they all follow the same script:

Girl wants your email to send you pictures- They are trying to sign up for another dating or messaging site which is very expensive and they get a kickback for every sign up.

Girl want to come visit not knowing it is impossible to get a visitor visa to USA. She has a relative who works in immigration or family member or friend who was able to get a Visa using a Specific travel agent. Rip off facilitated by fake travel website- use Who is and website is in Nigeria but looks very real. This is big M. O. of girls who claim they are in China working as Nanny and are Filipino. Always in the 30 to 40 age range, and are real girls, but they are in the ripoff business.

Woman who are from China and usually in the age of 45 to 65. They will spend a lot of time messaging you and rambling on excessively about love, marriage, and relationship. Their profiles usually present that they are very financially secure (lets them get you to put down your guard). Their ramblings are very non specific to what you are talking about, and I believe they just cut and paste these. They will spend a lot of time messaging you. They will finally tell you they want you to sign up for a website that will help them with the translation of your conversation. Crazy expensive dating site, that they will get a kickback from for guys they sign up. They will also ask you for your complete name so they can claim their kickback in case you fall for the signup scam.

I would say most girls on these sites are scammers. Tell them they have to pay for their own travel and you will reimburse them when they arrive, and they will disappear. Don't send money for any reason- you will lose it no matter how real they seem..

I subscribed to a one month membership because some girls there took my attention, but now that I am on the other side of the mirror, I can tell you that this website is a total scam.

First of all, when I was a free member, I received like 60 messages per day from girls that seemed interested, but as soon as I became a premium member, I didn't receive anymore message from new girls. Not even one, not even two, but absolutely no more message. How can you explain that huge difference between the free and premium membership? It's for me an absolute evidence that some profiles are only there to try to get you into a paid membership.

You are probably trying to tell me that you are monitoring fake profiles then how the $#*! can you explain me that a lot of the messages I received when I was a free member were absolutely identical: Exact same sentence (which was not common), exact same punctuation, capital letters used in a same way... are you $#*!ing kidding me? Did you really think that we were not going to see the scam? I even took screenshots cause I didn't believe it.

Not to mention that the website was working better when I was a free member rather than now where it takes forever to load a page and I still get error messages... So those are for you the benefits of being a premium member right? 30 euros per month for a scam and an outdated website?

Be sure that I will leave bad reviews everywhere until I get a refund and I have a huge amount of followers that are going to follow my advices.

And please don't come with the same speach you did to other disappointed members when you say that you have zero tolerance toward fake profiles and that your fraud prevention team works 24/7 to remove non-genuine profiles bla bla bla bla bla, this answer just doesn't work for me.

Not a total scam but pretty close! You get messages and likes from numerous pretty women. They are a scam for the most part. Just trying to entice you to sign up for a paid account. Most of them can't even hold a real conversation and you know right away that they are scammers. Th ones that are actually looking just want money!
Total waste of money! Almost a total waste of time? It was entertaining at least for a little while. I really doubt there is any international dating site that is legit! Their all scams!
Latin Romances. Same thing! Within in minutes of signing up 5 or 6 very attractive women sent me a message. All claiming to be rich and will take care of me, just marry them to get to the states. While I do know that could happen? 6 of them in 20 minutes with the same story? Yea Right! Best just to travel to where you want to go and find what you are looking for yourself! Like a post before mine said. I paid for one month on Filipina Cupid and immediately canceled. So I still have a month left and will update this review.

I have been a member with Filipino Cupid for nearly a month now and I get lots of "Interest" from females, females that want my money.

They all ask you, every single one I have had so far has asked me "Do you have Skype" and if you don't then some are not interested in speaking to you, but if you are interested then they ask you for money to do naked shows for you.

Or you get ones trying hard to be your friend and I must say some do put a bit of work into it to make you there friend, but all of them after awhile will come up with some "Sob Story" about they have no money to feed their children or they have Dengue Fever but no money to buy medicine, or with the recent earthquake I had one saying she was homeless and needed me to send her 5000 pesos to buy her a tent.

Then you get the ones that offer you topless/naked photos and videos for cash.

So if you are looking for a serious relationship, girlfriend or even a decent friendship, look somewhere else as you will be doing yourself a favor and saving your money by not coming here to Filipino Cupid.

Thankfully I only paid for a months membership, and personally it was a waste of every cent, and if you want to meet a nice Filipino girl without all this BS, then do what I am doing and buy a ticket there and find a decent one yourself.

Signed up and the same day they had free one hour platinum membership benefits. Talked with 3 girls got their info on skype. Video chat with all three and they were true to their profile. All three are very poor. I really liked 2 out of three. We have been talking on skype. One has 6 years old kid and other has 5! Months old kid. They both want to meet me. So I am going there for a month and stay with my cousin. I am gonna meet both of them for 2 weeks each. Will decide after that. I told both to not ask for money right on first day. They didn't. It's been 6 months. Will update to let you all know what happened next.

I have been a member of this site for 4 years now. The site is riddled with bugs, such as incorrect thumbnails showing and old removed photos replacing photos you just uploaded. When you try to ask for customer service they try to blame it on you. They have a new chat window that is 100% annoying that cannot be disabled. They refuse to remove scammers when reported. I have had a problem lately and been trying to get an answer for almost 2 months and I have received no response at all. Terrible customer service and mismanagement of the site. Not worth the high price. Lazy management who seems to be asleep at the wheel.

A new problem is men posting in the ladies section. Even though they have a pre-made report for reporting men in the ladies section they now tell me it's ok for men to post in the ladies section. Very weird.

Then they reply to this review asking me to contact support. Their support is no help at all. They send you premade responses that have nothing to do with your problem. I have talked to support many times over the years.

FilipinoCupid is truly a site to promote money laundering and prostitution. I am a FilipinoCupid member ever since it started and my following comments are based my own personal experience. I was a paid member on FilipinoCupid for more than a dozen times and every time end up desperately. Almost 90% accounts are fake and fraud. I also noticed that Filipinocupid is not for marriage. In their site, the relationship is only for friendship, dating, and long term relationship and not for marriage. In other words, the site is exclusively for money laundering, sex, and prostitution. I added on my profile that I am looking someone for marriage. Whenever I use the word marriage on my profile, they delete the word marriage and keep the remaining. When I am not a paid member, I usually get a large number of messages immediately after I log in. I will never get such a flow of messages once I am a paid member. I experienced the same with VietnamCupid also. It is very clear that the staff of Cupid media send out large number messages to non-paid members randomly. Then they erase the send message history from the women profile. All profiles are under their control and they can manipulate anything they want. They never delete or remove profiles, which are inactive for years.

Joined this site, paid and was activated. Few hours later, profile was suspended. Note that I had not sent 1 message, and my profile text was decent.
Quote Profile temporarily suspended. The safety and security of our customers is very important to us.

If you believe we have made an error in terminating your profile, please choose one of the following options... I filled out their forms, waited 36 hours, and still waiting!
I have ordered from companies worldwide for amounts 10-30 times that I paid for membership on FilipinoCupid. NEVER before been requested to proof my identity, until now. Never been accused for be a fraudster.
HOW can they think that customers will extend membership, when they start so unfriendly and hostile? Fraud for a few bucks?
Come on, thief's are looking for a 1 time big pay out. Now, a small cheap membership on a website...
This is just plain stupid of them.
