They have thousands of employees all over the world. These employees pretend to be the brides. They are always dangling a tempting carrot of real meeting but it never comes even to contact details exchange. On sites like AFFlirts.com
You can usually exchange contact details with any woman after a few days or weeks of chatting with her but there is no use in trying to get iDates women to talk off site. They always find some kind of excuse. You will see the same disturbing trend when you chat to several women, and it's always the same pattern. I really want to spread the word about iDates being a money scam. This is a rip off site. They parasite money from consumers. I hope it will save some men a heartache.

Rip off site
January 26, 2025

I don't think anyone is real, soon as you offer number they don't contact just keep saying talk on here so you buy coins, surely real people would want contact number to communicate via txt, WhatsApp etc to save money. Total scam rip off site

Enrolled few days ago as map showed ladies in my area. In reality, not the case. All just a bit too far for reasonable connection.
Also, despite a comprehensive needs, wants,desires description, the responses are very non specific and vague, not responding with more info when asked for specifics. At a guess I'd say this is an AI setup, and not a particularly good one. Be wary and probably look elsewhere.

This creator is a sneaky yet underhanded no good for a business. Just like many other sites out there. Don't bother wasting you time and money. I realize when they start a conversation it's a huge red flag and pay attention to their English language it will throw you off

It is all just a scam
February 13, 2024

There are nothing but fake women who insist they want to chat and this means you end up using a lot of funds to be able to do so. When you ask if could meet they just say they want to chat to get to know you. You cannot get to know someone by chatting. You even suggest going into a different platform to chat and they refuse as then you would not be using up these expensive coins you bought. If they mention lets trade phone numbers and you ask for theirs first the reply I had was that she does not own a phone yet

13 responses for every $24.99 AUD. The responses are very sexual and designed to lead you on. I would guess many are computer generated. Direct questions are often not answered. The 'women' show no empathy..

Idates service has one glaring problem: the women won't make contact off site. They will tell you any kind of lie and they will talk about how much they love you, but they are never ready to move forward. The women are not genuine.

Total scammers
January 31, 2024

I give 1 star because there is no option for no stars. This site is a total scam, the moderators generate fake profiles who keep you chatting just to buy more coins.
You will never meet anyone on this site because the profile pictures are stolen from the internet. In just the first few chats they will be telling you they love you, you are the one they have been looking for. Total scamming catfish. Stay away.

If you want real women, use Seek4Match
Or some other European sites, they are way more efficient, legit and less greedy. I think the most important part of work of a dating site should be to eliminate scam. The site I mentioned really does this job well. Idates is a complete opposite: they make profit on scamming people. IDates is anything but ethical. Don't believe these "matches from your area", they are totally fake. Somehow they are getting away with making up fake profiles just to con people into getting a paid membership. You are buried in computer generated messages as long as you keep paying. But it never gets real, because there are no real people behind this dirty game.

Be prepared that you will get lots of messages and replies, but all of them will be a one-line nonsense, aimed at making you spend your money further. Don't put your money and feelings at risk on IDates, better use MyUkrLady. Com They are disingenuous! It's a kingdom of bots and fakes!

1) most requests are unsolicited and user is always on line (checked at various hours like 3 Am etc
2) no "about me" indication in profile
3) Answers are one liners, never more unless identified, and do not reflect any content in previous chat and cannot treat more than one subject
4) Cannot identify their city or how to get there, Ex: What bridge brings you to where you live
5) Cannot respond to a straight question and revert back to you on another subject usually sexual
6) Cannot accept a simple joke, replies are totally out of it
7) Abusive use of terms of endearment, "darling" being the most used

The list is long, total scam. Could not give a lower score than 1 star

I spent a lot of money on iflirts and idates {MORE FOOL ME} owned by the same Dutch company who make a business out of robbing vulnerable lonely men of the hard earned cash steer clear save your money. Match.com is a lot better i actually got a date on there. These two sites should be called Nodates and Noflirts they are a bunch of rats that run it

Having put my profile on idates I was inundated with replies. I contacted a number of these. I am divorcing. I sent many messages to several women who had expressed interest in me. One in particular whom I confided in to a great degree. She explained that she was lonely.Explaining my domestic situation, she sympathised and gave me,what I thought was great understanding and opinion of the way I had been treated. We hit it off,"She" even jokingly mentioned marriage.I became hooked by her replies to me.I truly believed her.We exchanged many messages,but the latter ones,given the information I gave her,did not ring true.Generally messages were not quite proper English.The wording being off.I had become besotted by her. We talked of being together,long term.I don't think she really existed.A complete fabrication. Heart breaking

All the girls on here are fake. It's just a scam site to make you purchase coins. You can't send messages without buying coins and most of the replies seem to be computer generated. Stay away. Don't sign up.

A short conversation, with for instance 5 responses per each, is already at least $10. And that's the most economical purchase of credits, and with the doubling offer, so any smaller purchase could cost $2 or $3 per message. Then you can't even get a decent conversation going. Responses inappropriate or vague or simply not an answer to your question, and so instant as to be obviously machine-generated. Don't waste your money.
