Scam site
September 28, 2021

Site is full of African and Asian scammers. I put my profile on private and they were still messaging which mean the site works with them. On top of that my profile was suspended for no reason after paying full price. They say its because my profile stated I wasn't looking for a relationship when that's literally the opposite. The few real profiles on this site are women looking for sugar daddies which the site doesn't suspend. One of the worst sites ever

Double charged twice and they never noticed, charged again that was unauthorized and refused to refund money. Paid for 3 months and they charged me again after only 2. I hid my profile and tried to go back later and they blocked me and I had 2 months left already. Site is full of scammers and they don't even try to keep it safe for anybody. This is the biggest rip off in social dating media. Avoid this site or get ripped off. Pay Pal will not even give you your money back if you use it to pay Cupid Media.

Nothing is preordained but it's nearly impossible to find your true match on InternationalCupid, no matter how much money you spend (waste) there because you have to break through a lot of scammers, the site doesn't care about ferreting them out. There is no screening or profile verification and it makes it easy for scammers to get there. So they all seem to go on Internationalcupid, the site encourages them, because these sexy looking scammers help IC to con people out of their money. 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 loose soooo much time on them: one after one. I have other things to do with my time and money, so I just prefer to use a working dating site!

Hey guys... calm down.
November 15, 2016

The average salary in the Philippines is around 25 times less than in the US.
The average salary in Russia is around 12 times less than in the US.
Also... I happened on this site for a while. I clicked a lot of the hot girls never to hear from them. Some decent ones contacted me though. NOT RIGGED. Would however check to see where you can cancel your subscription before you join.

internationalcupid.com along with russiancupid.com and ukrainedate.com is operated by a group of scammers who run multiple fake profiles of gorgeous ladies and handsom males to scam real people who pay for the service. We never get the service though and have to write the honest reaview of these so called dating websites.
I had a real life experience of using these sites and for a few months and found their fraud scheme. I reported fake profiles multiple times but they never got removed... i can share more proof if needed
And after repotring abusive speech from these scammers, internationalcupid has blocked me...

Hi Riswa,

In order to prevent fraudulent payments on our websites, our billing department reviews certain transactions. For some transactions we require additional verification to prove that the person making the transaction is authorized to do so.

CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS: we request that you email us proof that you are in possession of your credit card.

To do this, please send us a scanned copy of your credit card AND a copy of your government issued photo ID to team@internationalcupid.com. Your attachment must be in. Jpg,. Gif,. Bmp or. Png format.

We must clearly see your name and the first 6 numbers on the front of your card. You should cover up the other details on your card for your protection.

NOTE: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU SEND THE FULL DETAILS OF YOUR CREDIT CARD.

If you used another person's credit card to make your payment, you must ALSO include a signed letter of authorization from the card holder, stating that you are authorized to use their card for your payment.

PAYPAL PAYMENTS: we request that you email us a copy of your photo ID that matches the name on your PayPal account.

To do this, please send us a scanned copy of your government issued photo ID to team@internationalcupid.com. Your attachment must be in. Jpg,. Gif,. Bmp or. Png format.

If you used another person's PayPal account to make your payment, you must ALSO include a signed letter of authorization from the account holder, stating that you are authorized to use their account for your payment.

Please note that you will only be required to verify your payment once. However if you use a different credit card or PayPal account in future, our system may require verification for some transactions.

Once we receive your verification, we will confirm if your verification is acceptable and begin your membership. Acceptance of payment by another person on your behalf is at the discretion of our Payment Department. Your payment may not be accepted even if we receive the required documents.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused, however we have been forced to introduce additional verification steps due to payment from some of our members.

If you do not wish to do this, please advise us and we will cancel your membership and issue a full refund to your account.

Horrible
January 4, 2019

I sign up yesterday and site had a problem with adding photos when I enter to add photos later as it asked I was deactivated and it is already second time like this. I try to sign up already 2 times this week and I even added my document to site to they see I am real person but it didn't help. Looks like all reports which people write are correct and they don't want to have real clients, good I didn't pay it yesterday, wanted to do it today. It would be big waist of money.

Total waste of money
April 11, 2020

Total waste of money! Just steer clear guys if you aren't looking for overcharges, financial issues and having to block your cc. You see I've had hideous experience with them. It's a swamp of fakes and you can drown in it.
Every single woman I met on InternationalCupid tried to scam me. I was lucky to use my common sense: I didn't send money to anyone and I finally quit it.

Dear John,
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 address 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

They suspended my account before I had even finished adding all of my details.
But they haven't just locked me out of my account, I can't even open the website.
I've just received an email saying they want me to scan and send documents to activate my account again. When the account is reactivated they'll no doubt want credit card details. I would have to be insane to do what they are asking.
What a waste of my time, I just want my photos back now and to delete what I put on my profile.
I should have known when I couldn't progress further without adding a weight, bust size & salary that this was not going to be the dating site for me!
I'd say avoid this one...

Hi Fiona,

In our attempt to ensure the genuineness of profiles on InternationalCupid.com, we ask that all members verify their identity by providing us a copy of an identification document. Your verification document must meet the following criteria:

* It must be government issued, e.g., driver licence, passport, etc
* It must be a color copy - black and white copies cannot be accepted
* It must include your personal information AND a photo
* It must be valid, i. E., not expired or cancelled
* Only. Jpg,. Bmp,. Gif files can be accepted

Identity verification is a way for us to determine if members are who they represent themselves to be, thus creating an added level of security for you. We would like to make your online dating experience as safe and hassle-free as possible and believe the profile verification system will help protect our members to a larger extent against non-genuine members and general predatory behavior.

The process includes verification of details such as name, gender, date of birth and photo and is an important part of the profile creation process because it:

* Gives site members greater peace of mind about site security
* Reduces the likelihood of non-genuine profiles on the site
* Discourages non-serious members from joining the site
* Ensures minors are unable to pose as adults on the site

Your identification documents will be used for profile verification purposes only and we will not share your information with any third party.

The status of your verification is displayed on your profile to enable other members to confirm your profile is genuine.

Immediately upon signing up, I have been bombarded with young members, (I'm 60) who profess how much they're attracted to me and must get to know me, when you know all they want is you to send them money! It's a JOKE! That's all this site it... members trying to get you to send them money or bring them to the US.

Most profiles are fake and lots are scammers. Most scammers are from Philippines, Russia and East Europe and Africa. Profiles of most ladies of these places are only after your money. At first they talk to you normally, then after 2 or 3 times of chatting, they tell you a miserable story or any made up story of her hard situation or her problem for you to send her money, do not be fooled no matter what stories they tell you. If you see a profile with a picture of a very beautiful or sexy girl, it is usually a scammer and not her real picture, they just put it to make you fall for her.

Blocked me...
March 3, 2022

"... Access Denied...", blocked me, but why? HAHA such a joke. Blocked me because I haven't logged in for like 1 month? Or what? Such a stupidity.

It worked, the boring was (and is) fake people who write, want me to contact them by email, share Whatsapp etc.

I ignored to answer these people, just deleted these messages, was it therefor they blocked me?

So I got blocked 1. Because I haven't logged in like 1 month OR 2. Becaus I don't reply to scammers...

All dating sites are full of scams.
InternationalCupid is also full of scams.
All woman profiles on any dating site are gold diggers.

Test the site yourself.
Write which age group you are looking for in your profile. Also write which country you do not want a contact with.
You will find that no one reads your profile, because no one cares about you or your profile. All woman profiles that are genuine are only interested in money. If a woman's profile asks for money or mobile data stop all communication.
If the woman profile does not want to post on the Cupid website, she is a scammers.

All Cupid sites are full of scammers and gold diggers woman profiles.
More than 99% of all woman profiles on all dating sites are scammers and or gold diggers.
I know because I've been on websites for over 11 years. I have met 100% scammers and gold diggers woman profiles. I have also traveled for personal meetings. All the women I have personally met have only been interested in money and scam.

I`ve tried to sign up on this site for a several times and every single time my profile was suspended. I fullfilled the verificational form a couple of times and this only led to banning me. So yeah now I kinda get why theres so many scammers and fake profiles on this website 'cause legit real people cant create an account. Support doesnt help either, they just ignoring my requests.

Ukrainian scammers
January 24, 2023

I met a young woman of approximately 39 years old living in Sunny Isles Florida. She managed to lead me to believe she had no problems with a huge difference in age and she knew all my personal life. After leaving my vacation destination in Germany immediately to meet her in Florida. She lead me to believe she was wanting to be together and she asked me daily to buy her expensive gifts, dinners, large sums of money and even a car which is when I stopped. Two weeks into our shopping spree I confronted her in regards to our meeting and being together. She then explained that she really had no interest despite telling me otherwise until the day I said no more. Watch out for the blonde in Sunny Isles Florida. She's a shrewd goldigger who will say anything to take your money. She was dishonest and took thousands all while knowing she had no intention of discussing being together as the family she kept telling me she wanted to pursue. I was a total gentleman and it became very obvious she was playing me when she couldn't accept a kiss, yet had the nerve to expect a car. All while telling me she wanted this relationship which was obviously not true. What she did wasn't criminal, although it was extremely unethical and premeditated. Even her five year old child wanted to stay with me!

Front for world scammers
February 16, 2021

I took $5000 out of my bank account and used it to investigate Cupid International. I am an x insurance investigator and agent of Burns International retired. I approached over 200 women on their site over a 4 month period. I found 156 wanted money for one reason or another. Many were selling porn videos. I selected 4 girls to see if I could import one to the USA. All four were frauds. 2 used false passports to convince me they were real. One was selling live videos and I could order her to perform any sexual acts live. The fourth tried to convince me she was the victem of a storm in the Philipines and lost her home. She wanted to come to the USA to be my girlfriend and to work so as to send money home to her homeless family. I reported all four girls to Cupid. Cupid droped my membership.
