FilipinoCupid

I was a paid member, they changed my birth date and didn't allow me to correct it unless I send them a copy of my passport, driver license or national I.D. (When I signed up, there was not such a requirement). There are a lot of girls that they contact you and want to sell their nude pictures, offer an online sex show or beg for money. Most of the pictures you see are many years old and when you see the women online they don't look like their pictures at all.
Had a real bad experience with this company. Even one star is too much!

There are many ads of women that are located in different cities in China. They all claim that they are working as nannies or tutors for Chinese families. When writing to them I find that they all have a similar story. They do not have cell phones that they can communicate through texting or Skype. Only have access to emails. Most of them say they would like to meet me in my country. This all seems to be a scam. Is it? Am I being foolish thinking that these women actually exist?

Just know that you're going to have to send various documents (i. E. Copy of photo ID) if you want your upgraded account to be activated (your account is suspended until then - no access). I submitted my docs and spent the next week going back and forth with what seemed to be an automated unclear email response (And still no account access).

I called them a number of times and had the displeasure of speaking with an agent that was not only unhelpful, but very rude (she had the audacity of accusing me of committing fraud by paying through Paypal, when Paypal is a payment option!).

When I asked her if I could speak to a supervisor, she flat-out said, "no, if you want to speak to a supervisor, send an email and wait 24 hours." And that was just the start of the circus of customer disservice that ensued. Needless to say, if you're calling their number for phone support, you probably won't get it.

Lots of very pretty but maybe very underage girls on this site. I was looking for a woman with a family as I had seen poverty in the RP when based at Subic and decided I'd help a family. Struck gold with a lovely Mom of four and have met them and her large family. Very sweet people, very humble and hard working. I did not meet with success overnight so keep looking if you strike out with some minors or fakes. Beware of women who are from Thailand. Got burned. She was on this or a competitive site and the money lost was good tuition. My Mom of four and I talk daily and I read the kids stories. We were to meet in April but COVID-19 forced the airline to cancel the original and second bookings. We will still be together and visit the entire family. It is a great relationship a year old as of this coming July.

I have used this site to connect with Filipinos (as in guys). There are many scammers who use this site but in amongst the scammers I have found a number of genuine guys. You just have to exercise caution and, as the site advises, don't send money to anyone you have not met in person. Well I would advise don't send money to anyone you haven't communicated with for several months and even then, if you chose to do so, only send small amounts. If they persistently keep asking for more stop communicating. I have paid for a monthly subscription on a few occasions and never had any issues with cancelling the subscription. But it is an automatic renewal subscription so you must physically cancel in via the website. I use this site and I like this site.

Please do not generalize that all filipinas are bad. We also get lots of scammers, perverts and all kinds of weirdos. We just have to be careful in figuring who to talk to... if a filipina asks for money for whatever reason, you beware... same goes for males sending us packages and then asking us to pay for the taxes... or asking to send nude photos or go naked shows on cam... i have a US multipile visa, i have travelled, never asked for money, have been loyal etc etc etc and yet my prince is still lost and cant find me... but i dont want to stop this from hoping that somewhere, he is out there trying to get the right directions... let us not lose hope, just be careful.

You have be careful using this website there are too many fake and scammers on it. I sign up for 12 months and all those fake profile I reported and ask for money or asking me to sign up to another website still remains.

Out of 100 contacts
6 I met in person
3 Become my girlfriend but it didn't last long.
20 I added on fb and I can see it is actually them
4 I added on fb and skype (webcam performer or sex worker)
The rest are just scammer asking for money or some sad story they make up to make you send money.

My piece of advice is becareful who you chat with you could be chatting to a scammer (ladyboy, woman, gay or a man) but if you learn to weed the bad one out from the good one you can meet genuine people Who are looking for relationship or new friend.

I met my wife on FilipinoCupid in August of 2019. I was fortunate to visit her and her family in the Philippines a couple of times before the lockdowns began. We got married in Dubai in July of 2021. The process of bringing your Filipina wife or fiancé to the US takes time, but my wife arrived in the US in April of 2022. We could not be happier!

Did I encounter potential scammers on the site asking for money? Yes, but you will find that on any dating site. Did my wife encounter potential scammers on the site just looking for a holiday girlfriend or video sex? Yes, but again, there are players and perverts on every dating site.

Initially, you will experience a kind of "high" from all the attention you get. Feel free to enjoy that experience, but you can't really get to know someone unless the two of you agree to be exclusive and really focus on trying to get to know one another.

One thing to note. There is no such thing as divorce in the Philippines. If you meet a woman that is married and separated from her Filipino husband, she will have to get an annulment (from the Philippine government, not the Catholic Church) before you can bring her to the US on a spousal or fiancé visa. Annulments in the Philippines take time (the quickest I am aware of was about 6 months, but most take 1.5 - 2 years or more). They also take money (around $5000 USD, more money than most Filipina's can afford). Please keep this in mind if the woman you are getting to know is separated, lacks the funds to file for an annulment, or you are unwilling to help her financially or wait out the process.

Be skeptical of individuals promising quick and inexpensive annulments. Many Filipina's fall victim to annulment scams! The US government will attempt to verify the validity of the annulment during the immigration process, and some women only discover they were scammed when their visa application is denied.

If you do your due diligence, FilipinoCupid is a great site to meet an amazing Filipina woman. The 7000+ islands in the Philippines are full of them!

Signed up for a 3 month subscription, was permanently suspended in 4 days.
"As you have indicated on your account, you are not seeking members for the aforementioned reasons. Your profile has therefore been permanently removed and cannot be reactivated".
First, they approve all profiles before they become active, and 2nd, nothing on my profile stated either way. I got LOTS of messages from what seemed to be bots, fake ID's and some really homely profile pictures. Only 1 picture on each profile.
I was banned after I put a word at the end of my profile, stating, if you send a message, start with this word so I know you read my profile.
Next morning my profile was banned permanently.

Step one: most are not real. So eliminate the vast majority by simply asking for a video chat. They will make every excuse in the book. Try not to let them dupe you with photos or a dark night video. Ask for a simply video chat in broad daylight.
Step two. Agree that you will send NO money unless you meet in person and she is willing to come see you where you are. Do not pay for more than a taxi on arrival.
Two simple rules and the scammers are out of business. After you meet, you can decide if it is worth your while to invest.
And BTW, the devout Christian (yeah right) is a formula for taxation without representation. You figure it out.

This is such a massive scam on the level I haven't seen before. FilipinoCupid has been a complete waste of money! First of all, you have to pay for everything and the costs are exorbitant. Then you have to sift through bunch of bots. Finally, 15 out of 16 women I interacted with either asked me for money for rent and phone or wanted to give me the "financial consultation" pressing me to invest money into some kind of "innovative project". They have a new approach to scam on FilipinoCupid, but it's still ridiculous!

I have used it a number of times with some result. However, I just got the same result with Date in Asia which is totally free and with a better and simpler user interface. Filipino Cupid is a nuisance by being pushy and greedy. They have built in scams like automatic membership renewal which is a trick to suck your money from the credit card without asking for permission. If you forget to opt out they will suck your money for months even if you never log in. I think is a borderline legal practice that by itself make the site not trust worthy. Is also full of scammer members that try to make money in various ways
