InternationalCupid

Nothing is preordained but it's nearly impossible to find your true match on IC because you have to break through a lot of scammers, the site doesn't care about ferreting them out. They only want to keep the cash flowing and make money. There is no screening and no profile verification. Also there is no banning. So all scammers seem to go on Internationalcupid. Usually it's pretty easy to identify these scammers and you don't easily get to the stage where you send them money, but you just waste so much time on them: one after one. I have better things to do with my time and money, so I left IC.

I created account 3 times with different email address and all three times I have been blocked and denied access to their services because first time my sister helped me to set it up and they said I am fraudulent and won't ever have access to their website. They are the ones that are dodgy and won't let people who don't pay stay there. Do not recommend at all

I joined to meet women from other countries, and instead got to meet a lot of bots. Almost every single profile on this website is fake. The admins should be ashamed of themselves and saying they do any kind of fraud prevention is a blatant lie. I did a reverse image search on many of the so-called "real women" there who messaged me. The profile pics are all pulled from other sites and some are even straight up stock photos. Within 24 hours of signing up, I had 200 messages in my inbox from a bunch of african/asian profiles. Great idea for a site and the interface is excellent, but there is no quality control at all and the spam is out of control. If this site was legit, I would definitely pay to upgrade but not in its current state.

I have been on this site for a while now. I have yet to get any legit responses. All of them are scammers wanting to move our conversations off the site, try to get me to sign up for outside services (OnlyForChat has come up several times) and bilk me for money. Its all a racket. There seems to be a real source of this in Ghana (Ghana keeps coming up even when I remove Africa from my criteria) for some reason, and a lot of Asian posts as well. Now I know, they will follow this complaint up by saying they have a zero tolerance policy for scammers, but there is no way International Cupid can be serious about that. Nearly all of the 'women' on this thing are scammers! If they were serious about enforcing a no-scammers policy, why is it so thoroughly inundated with fake profiles? They're obviously not doing a very good job!

I paid for the gold service. I immediately requested a refund as they deducted more money than stated. Poor customer service. Lack of skills. Was told a refund will be processed in a few days. They don't say how many days just a few. Then I was denied access. I want my money back. I have reported this to my bank as fraudulent. I will now be taking it further and posting reviews on every site I can find. I will also have a lawyer involved.

IC is one of the scammiest dating sites ever. I learned my lesson hard and I was heart-broken by 2 women. I wasted 2 years and 10 months of my life on this d#*n site.
Eleanor Roosevelt said, "He who loses faith loses all". I didn't lose hope and I kept on searching. My perseverance was rewarded.
But the point of this review is to warn you guys off InternationalCupid because I don't want anyone else to be conned by those good-looking scammers.
They have sinister motives and use all kinds of manipulating techniques to get your $$. No woman is looking for relationship there. They all "make money" on the site.

Hi,
I have spoken with a couple of women from the Philippines, most recently, Riza. These women are beautiful. When I asked one women who I'd been chatting to for ages on whatsapp and shared personal information (feelings stuff not financial) with I asked for a more personal photo, such as blowing me a kiss or a wave. Since then I have had no messages from her. Ok, it could be other things but this just doesn't fit right. After all the trouble she went to, the back and forth, I can think of no other explanation than the photo I asked for would be impossible because she isn't who she says she it. That's the only answer that makes sense. SO... not sure that any of this dating overseas women pretence is worth it.

90-95% fake profiles, Russian email harvesters and outright scammers. This is legitimized international love-scamming-fraud on a very big scale.
The Cupid network must have made a calculus where a platform for love-scammers and unbelievable beautiful pictures can lure in paying customers. Instead of building something real, for the single people out there.

And please customer service, don't send be the standard answer: "it is difficult, we do all we can do bla bla bla"
Tell me instead, what the cupid network intends to do – the credibility of the entire range of cupid sites are very low in my book.
(Just a simple screening of the empty profiles w/ a single beautiful pic would be a good start.)

After created my profile for about 3 days and I received that "you profile has been terminated and cannot be reactivated"
Well, I only browser through&have proper information on profile and didnt sent out&response any message yet since I am not interested in at all but got terminated. I don't think is a good site and will delete it anytime soon so I don't mind it. However, I just afraid of they are using my information/photos to create fake profile since there are so many bad review.

At least should allow some time for me to log in and delete all my information as well as delete my account myself before take action!

In connection with the last events, I began to receive offensive messages from users. Support service can only offer one thing: block the user. Also, they promise that the page of the user will be disabled, but I see that they do not. Don't recommend this service.

Inbox is instantly flooded with messages from asian / african accounts ignoring everything you write in your profile, sending standarttexts and are only up to collect data and have you add them in whatsapp where they will start asking for money. 9 out of 10 are a attempt to scam you. They even send exactly the same messages with the same whatsappnumber from different accounts at the same time. I dont blame the platform itself but ist just horrible

I didn't know women could be so money-hungry! I guess the site attracts golddiggers and scammers from all over the world and perhaps the site's moderators, administrators and owners are up to their neck in it. I have been asked for money or gifts 27 times. The majority of the women have fake photos! I'm not even sure they are women. Could be men as well pretending to be a woman. It's garbage, not a dating site. Not even close! I took my profile down - I don't need it. IC is useless, it's a time and money-waster. I definitely don't recommend it!

The women are extremely money-hungry! They let too many scammers in; there is no screening, no profile verification. I got sick of scammers asking me for money and deleted my account. I 'm glad I left InternationalCupid – I'm not wasting my money there anymore. IC membership only gives you access to a slew of scammers and catfishers. It was a very disappointing and meaningless experience.

This is a legit site however, there are a few well actually several scammers. The Russian women want emails. They will dazzle you with sexy pic and nice emails. Eventually they ask for money. The women from Ghana (and there are a lot of them) also want money for food etc. They will send sexy pics in return. The phillipinno women and Thai women seem most legit but they tend to ask for gifts etc. So, you may have to drop a few bucks. Totally your decision. Personally I make it clear I won't send money. That's in my headline actually. Seems to work. There are real women on here but unless you are actually going to go over seas it's probably not worth the effort. Unless you don't mind, don't send money. Just opens you up to all kinds of problems. I'm sure if you take you time you can meet someone nice. But then again they may just use and divorce you after two years for citizenship. Good luck and don't be stupid

I've joined the site on and off for a couple of years and I find it to be very legit with lots of messages and interests from women all around the world with no issues what so ever. I just don't bother with the much younger women messaging me. But all in all I think the site is great and easy to use. That's my intake on it anyway

I'm glad I only signed up for 1 weeks service on this site, does this site have any real poeple looking to date I replied to dozens of message and after 10 minutes of conversaton every single one of them turned out to be some kind of scammer one went to the trouble of trying to blackmail me when I reported this to admin nothing was done and the profile is still there. This site should be closed as a matter of public safety

9.% scammers on the whole, with a few real people. I was stupid enough to join and then rejoin and it has been an even worse experience the second time, but has confirmed that it is a scam site. When you are having a fake email you at least once a week if not more, something is very wrong. I'm sorry but it means your website is garbage. If you are trying to keep your website scam free than you need to up your security protocols homey. This site is totally ridonkulous. Never join it and never waste your money on it. In fact, I am going to request a refund, which I doubt I will get.
