Right now, a lot of verified profiles of Filipino women are actually being used by Nigerian scammers. They steal men's data, photos, and videos, and then they blackmail or scam them. This whole situation has been going on for about a year already
I've been using a few dating sites with mixed success and I checked out PinaLove just as an experiment. Well, don't repeat my mistake – this site is a total failure, a joke and surely a money scam with bots and fakes. I found a legit platform J7Love.com
It's the most reliable site and it's head and shoulders above all the other dating services that I used (I don't use them anymore now that I've found the site that really works great). PinaLove is one of the sleaziest and lamest sites. It's anything but a dating platform. They are trying to make their pool of people seem larger by setting up fake profiles, stealing photos, using bots. They do it all, but they don't try to attract genuine girls.
Worst dating site l have ever used first of all when you join you get so many message and then you need to verify yourself. And alot of woman on here are not real and they say they are looking for a serious long-term relationship and then after talking to after a couple of days they will ghost you. And there is no option to video chat
They have very few beautiful girls and even fewer of them are real. They balk at exchanging contact details and leaving the site. All they want to do is correspond on PinaLove. I have had enough of poor experience with different phony Asian sites, like PinaLove, so I won't mess with success anymore. Things are very bad on PinaLove. Womenn don't want to meet for real. It is definitely one of the worst options you can choose in dating.
Accounts suspended for no reason! But they will continue to charge your Credit/Debit Card! You Can not verify account because it is a Smart Phone ONLY verification system. Support NEVER REPLIES! And then there are the SCAMMERS, more Scammers than real people on the site! Scammers are never DELETED, they are just allowed to continue scamming people! Since my account got wrongfully suspended, I have reported Pinalove.com to the Federal Fair Trade Commission, and U.S. Federal Law Enforcement for Credit Card FRAUD! Everyone else should do the same and get the site shut down
This is a third world Country. Everyone is impoverished by the corrupt government. Most ladies are young and look for cam sex tin order to survive. It's impossible to keep up with their demands for money to top up their phone data or to buy rice. With this app you're guaranteed frustration. If you're lucky one out of two hundred will be honest. Anyways, the odds are stacked against you.
I, as a female, have to say it is a scam, making me a premium member for males which is a lie since i never paid for this membership only to animate the guys going for payment to send me message.i did try it out with a good friend to see it shows on his side premium and cant talk to me.it is money making and sure not legal at all! Si to any guys, be aware to pay some since after a while the girl isnt a premium anymore, funny isnt it? Ah and in the effect i send guys mails telling them what is happen and then they deleted my account directly
So usually for dating sites, verified pic would have AT LEAST the face of the person. But look at this, not even face, it's just a shot of their torso AND it's verified.
On top of that, premium is a label for PC site, if you are on mobile, premium is basically "popular". This is basically a "female" only account privilege that works like premium, but obtainable for free. As long as the user reached certain amount of interaction, they will get the premium/popular status, but when they're not getting any, they will lose it.
Men? Yeah please buy premium so you can message more often (not once every 10 mins) and not getting gated by the women's premium/popular status (yes, you can get locked from messaging a person if they get the popular/premium status, even if you're able to message them before).
To start off, I'm surprised that despite the site being famous for "looking for Filipina date", it has no reviews. A friend (woman) told me to try this out because she believed this place has more "real" people, so I did. But it was a complete money grabbing scheme and sexist, and here are the easiest "turn offs" you'll experience within 5 minutes of getting online there:
1. Premium members can only be messaged by other premium members, which means if you're not premium, you can't really message some of the people who are marked as "popular" by the site. This is NOT about verified photos or not, but more to your account status.
2. As free user, you are limited to sending ONE message every 10 minutes. Definitely a turn off when you want a conversation going.
3. I asked my friend who suggested me the site regarding point no 2, she laughed it off because when she made her account to try out stuffs, she did NOT get limited to one message every 10 minutes, which means a "girl" account does not get time gated to send messages, even if the account is NOT premium or verified. So from there it was very obvious that this site is just baiting men to pay to talk.
Just look at the premium pricing, despite the target community are mainly Filipino residents, their pricing are set on USD. And one month is twice more expensive than one year? This site just seems like, they want your 10 dollars and not caring about anything else.
End word, I think the site does not offer anything special, it's just baiting innocent, guilty Filipinas to get foreigners to pay for the premium.
Edit: it's funny because when I'm checking profiles, there are alot of Filipinas who just registered already got premium. Did they really pay for it? Definitely not because 10 USD is alot for them in general. Seems that the site just gives the women (especially good looking ones with rather revealing photos) free premium to bait men to spend. Classic move
Is usually the typical of what would you expect from all Filipina dating sties, desperate Filipinas looking for white old men to take them and their family out of their misery, if that's your thing then suit yourself
I created a profile using free membership, many ladies contacted me, most of them offered nude shows for a payment, and few others who agreed to meet me in person were scammers, some girls were willing to meet provided I send them money in advance but they not willing to provide any ID because they don't have money to get ID card from the government, and also they don't have money to buy travel ticket and always hungry and starving, The interesting part is these ladies have a profile picture of themselves in best tourist spots wearing the most expensive jewellery and clothing, it doesn't add up, they always want me to send money by western union to fulfill their promise. There may be some genuine ladies in there but unfortunately the site is overrun by Fraudsters.
I've out of pocket by more than 500 dollars. Happy I was smart enough to stop there. I'm sure you'll read this and still go after those attractive, jobless young women.
Customer support is stone stupid and incompetent. They charged me twice on Apple Pay within 3 days of each other. I try to tell them about it through email and they beat around the bush asking for bill from Apple which I sent many times and they claim they never got the attachment, than when they finally do see it they say you only sent one bill but which they know about both charges by now because the first one was in their system and they even told me about the first charge. So I show them the second billing error. They are so dumb and can't be dealt with. They are either Chinese or Filipino idiots who can't tell left from right. I called my bank and filed a dispute for unauthorized billing. They automatically put Apple Pay on auto-renew
There are too many scammers, if you think dealing with scammers, please lodge reports to the NBI Anti-Fraud Division at (02) 8525-4093 or e-mail at *******@nbi.gov.ph.

This app sucks. It blocks people I don't want blocked, deletes messages before I've read them and doesn't save my likes. Today it started blocking all of the profiles that I spent a moment reading.
All the pina I talked to are try to get some money out of me. Do a nude show for money scam pay for her child food family got hardship buy land for me. Pay her monthly for GF to wait for you to go over. Hospital bill medical emergence bill. Get No way to get refund from site if stop using it.
For about 4 months I had a premium account on Pinalove, there are tons of nice and cute girls on this site, be aware you date with different culture, have respect and act like a grown-up and you have great experience
It blocks people I don't want blocked. I can unblock but it lasts only seconds. It deletes messages before I've read them. I see a pop up that says message sent but it's not there when I look. I send messages that disappear. It sucks.
This site, and a Thai datingsite are of the Singapore based moralless owners and pushers of scam, manipulation, ho business.
Browsing thru the site, I will get a pop-up that says a girl sent me a message or clicked on "like" my profile. But when I check messages or check my like que, the girl is not there. It happened so often, I checked all settings and profile configuration. Come to find out, the lady profiles were moved to my "blocked" que. I unblocked them but they went right back to blocked. I checked the name at the top of the list one day so I could see how many new ones were blocked — about 3 dozen! Many of whom liked my profile or sent msg. Really bad. What's the point of using a site like this?
Answer: Hi Stan, it's just the way they work, they took our money. The same thing happened to me and I was mot able to unblock my account, even though I provided my phone and even my ID. Now I realize how stupid I was to do this. I found my type of site with honest and relationship-minded girls: https://j4l.com/402007 If you aren't hung up on one nation only, maybe you gonna like it too, they are legit and girls are real. I can't say this about Pinalove.
Answer: Verify your email and phone number. Kinda sketchy but just be weary about the info they have. No bad news yet :)
