The site is awful with enormous number of fake profiles and catfishers from all over the world. I'm convinced that these scammers are deliberately let in and encouraged as long as they have pretty pics. I have never met anyone for real.

Surely, the majority of the women I talked to asked me for $ sooner or later. Then I realized that I was just wasting my time and left this d*^n phony site.

You can't wait for happiness all your life – just go for it and take action. But not on Internationalcupid!

OMG... I wish I read the reviews first. This site is controlled by scammers, it's been one day since I joined
Close to 75 introductions. Everyone of them wanting my email or to move from the site. Every single one. This site is absolute garbage and should be taken down. These $#*!s from Ghana are the main culprits. Stealing photos creating fake profiles. And this site could do so much more to stop it but they don't. Complete waste of time garbage rip off website. So pissed

Renewal scam
April 26, 2022

I purchased a week renewal after being inactive for months on this website. After a week the features of the account were disabled as I'd expected after my initial purchase but still when I logged onto it the was a prompt that told me that all functions were disabled and I was offered to buy another week which I pressed "cancel" button to.
Then 3 days later I get an email containing an invoice, stating that my auto renewal had been withdrawn from my credit card without my consent!
I think the company behind this site is a fraudulent company and therefore I warn every potential customer about giving them your credit card details...

I met 5 scammers in a day.
I trust sites which react immediately if there is a scammer report, as a result the amount of real people looking for relationship is nearly 100% there. I wish Internationalcupid did the same. But they do nothing to clear out scam. When I reported those 3 women with all necessary proofs there was no reaction from customer service. It doesn't look like they take customer satisfaction seriously enough and they do nothing to deter scammers from signing up or to clear them out.

International Cupid is a legitimate dating site and it is definitely possible to meet a nice potential partner who fits your criteria. It is a bit pricey for the premium gold/platinum/diamond memberships and you really only get unlimited messaging and some better analytics and bells and whistles which aren't really all that impressive. For example, as a diamond member, you will "rank above all members" but if you're unattractive it's not going to help you all that much. Gold membership is the way to go if you just need messaging and basic perks.

What you need to know about International Cupid is that if you're not looking to meet African women then you may want to consider other Cupid site options. I signed up a couple of weeks ago and the vast majority of likes/messages that I receive are from those women. As someone looking for Asian and Latina women, primarily, I probably should heed my own advice but hey I just want to put that out there.

In summary it is a valid and legitimate dating site, with lots of completely real ladies to talk to. Of course there are scammers and fake accounts but they're mostly quite obvious if you've been on dating sites before. If you're looking to meet a nice African lady this is the site for you but if not you may want to consider other options.

This website suspended my account for no reason. I filled out my profile and paid for gold with Paypal. Now I cannot log into my account! If my account cannot be rectified, I would like to have a full refund. If a full refund cannot be reassured I certainly would like to have the reassurance that my subscription is cancelled and I cannot be charged for a site I am not using.

Review of Cupids Sites
November 22, 2018

This is a review of Cupid sites in general and International Cupid in particular. I have used International Cupid, Dominican Cupid, Latin American Cupid. I still have a complimentary membership on Interracial Cupid. I don't not think the sites themselves are a scam because I have actually met women on some of these sites. So far there have never been issues with my card or membership. I only sign up for one month at a time.
First my rule is if you can not video chat, then I'm not going to waste too much time talking because I can not see who I am talking to. Second, I am not sending any money to any one. Most of the responses on International Cupid come from Ukraine, Ghana, The Philippines and Thailand. Many of them may not have cameras on their phones, ( or so they say) so you can't really see who you are talking to.
Most have no passports or visas because they may be poor and because the U.S. makes it a pain in the $#*! to enter the country unless you are from a European contry and maybe one or two Latin American countries, so you will be doing a lot of long distance flying trying to find some one. Then you can not be sure that they are not in it just for the money. I have had experiences where I have developed actual relationships with women who eventually Even if youmeet some one and get a K-1 visa and they come to the U. S you will have to get married in 3 months which to me is not musch time to really get to know some one. Bottom line is that it's an expensive gamble unless you're just looking for potential fun in a far off place

Another scam 'dating site'. Not sure how they do it, but after a non paying membership for a few hours it's beyond obvious that the whole thing is rigged. Just to give them your credit card would be a huge mistake. Don't fall for it, it's all b. S., it's all bots that are sending you emails, showing interest, etc. I'm sure there may be one site out there good for international dating, but I have yet to find it... maybe even match.com could be the answer for Intl... I'm not sure.

I live in Hilton Head Island South Carolina. This site is nothing but a scam. Nothing but African Ukrainian Filipino fakes. Including Chinese Nationals who try to steal your information. That probably work for the Chinese communist government who fish on this site. Has an American I voice my opinion in messages. That site blocked me. And I told them you're nothing but scammers. Nothing but stupid Australians running that site. Enjoy your covid-19 Australia. Scammers beware don't spend your money on that site. It's nothing but a waste of time and energy. It's a complete rip off stay local. Stay away from that website.

We apologize for your unwelcoming experience. We have zero-tolerance towards members of the nature you described. Unfortunately, it is extremely hard for us to verify the real intentions of the members as most dating sites do not require any form of formal identification to register and most members use their private email addresses to communicate with members.
It is very sad that a small minority of dishonest people will make such a negative impression of our site, as the vast majority of the members registered with us are honest.
We do our best to remove these people from our site, deleting any profiles showing dubious photos or information, as soon as we see them, however, we also rely on our valued members who kindly report to us any suspect or fake profiles they find on our site.
In addition, Our fraud prevention team works 24/7 to remove non-genuine profiles. If you would like to report a suspicious profile, please submit a ‘report abuse’ form or contact us at www.internationalcupid.com/en/help/helpdesk

On this site a lot of scammers. Profile are not correctly verified. A lot of profiles from Africa and Asia and you are flooded all day with messages from these women. Support service is really average when coming to check validity of profiles. They have similar sites such as, Interracial cupid, Asian cupid, etc same quality.

Don't waste your time..
February 21, 2022

LUCKILY, I read the reviews first, then I tried this "fantastic" dating site. Thanks guys for the reviews, all of you were right. This website is full of crap, fake profiles, always asking for your email and WhatsApp, tons of messages from Africa, Thailand, the Philippines, Ukraine, China, etc. I'd have more chance to find a real girlfriend on a desert island. Then this "free hour trial". Lots of messages from attractive ladies. All of them asking for my email, WhatsApp, Google hangout or Skype. None of them happy with messenger. Interesting..

I signed up for free, after a couple of days I paid for a membership. A day later, my profile was temporarily suspended. Anybody know a reason for it, I sure as hell don't. They could have at least sent me an email telling me why. My best guess is I suspected a lot of scammers so I just deleted all of their requests without even reading them.
It would have been nice to have a reason listed. So far money wasted.

A Waste
June 29, 2019

I was in the process of trying to sign up to the site. Before I could even get through the questions or anything, this showed up:

Profile Terminated
Your profile has been terminated and cannot be reactivated.
If you believe that you have received this message in error then please contact *******@InternationalCupid.com

I believe this dating site is linked with some other international and interracial dating sites including afroromance.com. It making me want to start using some non American dating sites.

I haven't met any genuine girls. I have been asked for gift cards multiple times and several scammers wanted to know my bank card information. As far as InternationalCupid is concerned, I stopped wasting my time there. Don't hand over your bank details to scammers – all they want is to make you part with your money!

Company threatened me
August 9, 2021

I have never used this website or even heard about it before someone stole my credit card information and signed up for an account. I disputed the charge with my cc company and I emailed this company's customer service and they tried to tell me they verified my information and that I started the profile. I ignored this thinking it was a scam, and now they are trying to bully me into paying for the subscription or face legal action. Stay away from this site.
