Disgraceful
July 6, 2023

Joined this site hoping to meet a partner within 24hrs I wanted off it.I was inadated with msgs but to reply you have to buy coins so I decided was nt for me this did not stop woman constantly msg me.it wore me down I tried umpteen times to come off the site eventually I had to buy coins to send msgs to the support team I had been trying to terminate my membership profile so many times I was becoming ill with seeing every day more msgs from woman who I believe were payed to msg guys like myself it was endless so after having to bite the bullet I bought coins to send msg to the rip off support team. This site is horrendous

I just installed in a small town of 7,000 inhabitants in Quebec. As soon as I subscribed to iDates, there was dozens of young and sexy ladies waiting for me, showing their nice faces and bodies and doing their best to contact me, even before I posted my face pic! It is indeed too beautiful to be true, completely crazy and definitely unreal for such a small town. So i decided to not fill the card number section as all this was definitely ridiculous and fake.
Also note that there are plenty of fake profiles on LeoList: When a "woman" asks you a payment by transfer or gift card (Steam), then it is DEFINITELY fake.

It's not real people your talking too. Not one person I spoke to was genuine. The site just tries to get you to spend an insane amount of money on coins.

Total scam!
November 25, 2019

Total scam designed to make you spend coins. All profiles are fake. After registration you will be receiving messages from "interested" members ( fakes) just to keep you responding and wasting money.

FAKE SITE
July 20, 2022

VEry obvious that it is a fake site. I got some messages but the length of the message and the time taken for the response did not match. No-one could type their message that fast. Also, the responses received did not answer the questions I asked. Clearly AI and bots behind this.

Brutal
May 31, 2022

Worst dating APP ever - put a profile on there, they want you to buy "coins" to be able to converse with any potential partners - tell them you are running out of coins and give them you e-mail address if they want to converse further and same response from every single one- buy more coins to continue talking with them - I would say every profile or 99% of them are computer generated AI or bots - don't waste your money - have better luck at closing time at a bar!

This is one of the worst site i have come across to date. Buyer beware! It has no real purpose except to screw the unsuspecting people out of the hard earned money. I took nearly a hour to fill in the profile only to find that nothing is visible to anyone but myself. There's no real support as i have tried to contact them. No way to move past the trained con artists that will reveal nothing about them selves, and never give anything that will allow you to get away from paying. Don't put your credit cards on this site they only keep doubling up on any purchases made. The only way to stop this from happening even after you try to take your profil of is to cancel the card. It is nothing, not even a cyber sex site because they refuse to even talk about that. They don't even read the messages that they are replying to. They always reply day or night as i have taken three days and two nights drinking gallons of coffee to write gibberish to one of the bots and scammers. Five times the replay style changed. Three times they repeated the same message. Hours apart. Im convinced that the pictures must be cut from magazines. Half the so called profiles have more than photo, of three very different people. Strange how a white girl can post a picture of a dark woman right next to a picture of an Asian. Again buyer be aware!

Idates is a money-grabbing SCAM. Any message that I have sent is answered instantly, none of the questions that I have asked have ever been answered, They are using BOTS to seduce and fool people into spending money for no reward or good purpose

Dear subscriber, DONT pay money to this website. It is totally fake. No real male or female is there for dating. You have to buy 1000 coins in 25 Canadian dollar and as soon as you pay the money immidiately 10 to 20 will message you. As soon as you reply one time in chat and they will deduct 50 points. And no result because other end artificial software is replying to you. BEWARE OF THIS SCAM. DONT PAY OR ENTER CREDIT CARDS

FRAUD
April 17, 2022

Signed up and nothing but regrets. Nothing but spambots to get you to spend more money. Account deletion has not happened with multiple requests even after six months. Contacted support and only response was for them to respond with this auto response.

Each account has been the same pictures and online 24 hour a day for months. Many are stolen profiles as I have spoken with the actual people on other sites and they did not have an account there and the ones that had were closed off supposedly and no longer in use.

Ticket NR.: **************

On the portal, the vast majority of users are real people who want to meet other people and have fun. They register voluntarily and decide on their own for what purpose they are here.
As you can read in the terms and conditions there are also profiles that are only for entertainment. With these no meeting is possible.
Please note that we have no influence on the behavior of the users. Whether a meeting comes about is up to everyone.

Additionally, however, there are entertainment profiles that are not here because they want to meet new people, but to keep you entertained and for people who just want to chat.

I am male, not bad looking, but I would never expect to receive 15 - 20 interested female contacts per day. I strongly believe that none of the females are genuine. # We are in the middle of the Corona Virus, but I am still receiving requests for a date TONITE? COSTLY TO RESPOND TO MESSAGES & NONE CONSIDERED GENUINE. ## All messages you receive contain simple chat lines that require simple answers that cost you to respond to. One female is listed as being 46, but is pictured next to a cake saying 'HAPPY 50th'.

No one will ever actually meet you! They just want you to chat and spend more money. No one will ever commit to meeting you. The profiles are all fake and run by bots.

Chatbots
August 2, 2023

Lots of chatbots - maybe only chatbots - to get you to send as many messages as possible because you pay for each message. That lesson only cost me 5 bucks but I am giving it to you for free!
