This site could have been legit but there are so many things not right. I have been a member over 3 years now.

1. More than half are fake profile and bots. Either they will respond to you with a short note and then no response back and you just lost your credit for viewing the message. Or you write to someone and 7 out of 10 no response.

2. The profiles recirculate and folks I have seen 3 years ago, would disappear for 6 month and would show up again. Some showed up annually like clockwork. In several years the age remains the same and didn't increase lol.

3. If you get lucky, 8 out of ten just wants to scam you and wants money for meet, uber ride, dinner plan, nails done and then there is no show as you may have sent a good faith fund to help with babysitter or uber ride. 2 would actually be legit and they too have alternate motive but its how to set the expectations.

4. If you report scam, you dont often get your credit back.

I think they hired a 3rd party marketing team to boost membership and at the backend all sort of fake profile and bots are build to generate attraction but you can be sure that you will get seldom response back. I had over 2500 credits and have done extensive engagement and to be honest got maybe 8 connection who were legit out of 100s. There are some legit users there and this is how I now play the game.

I like someone, I request additional photo access. A bot can auto approve photo request. But I look to see if the bot did my page visit and also if they requested the same. 8 out 10 they do not and I know its a fake profile. I also wait to see if I get a message, if not then that confirms my theory as well.

Fake user/bot also sends new message. If they haven't visited your page and you get a message, that to me is a red flag as well.

I also typically wait few days to respond to the message and wait to see user online activity. In most cases they will show last seen 2+ days ago and that is another indicator of fake profile/bot.

I wouldn't time here and it would be cheaper to go to a bar and buy drinks for stranger and make friends. Oh also, this site is branded into other different names and not just SB.

Good luck and save your $$. I spent a lot with not much success. Oh and the positive review you see here, most likely the fake users and bots accounts made it possible. I wonder if anyone filed a complain with BBB and actually audit and investigate the legitimacy of the site... hummmm

UPDATE July 19 - SB contacted me and based on the review in the past, they offered some credit to my ac and asked me to take the review down. I had since purchased over $500 worth credit and had 900 some credit as of last night and today they closed the account. Which is fine but they owe me money-back. This would be another flag on how accurate the feedback is. See email screenshot lol… if I don't get my refund, I am filing a BBB complain. They did say they will refund.so lets see...

UPDATE July 20 - They issued my refund.

Imagine a sugar dating site which at first seems ideal with thousands of pretty girl's photos. You use a proven successful advert which for years has gotten you superb responses on other SD sites, add some good photos, and lo and behold you quickly get 1000+ likes, 800 messages in a matter of 2-3 months.! Too good to be true you say?

Well YES (you cannot READ any message at all unless you pay $5.90 EACH. =10 credits)) or take another 'Credits' package, but either way you have no idea if these messages are just 'hi' or something of interest. Then you go to Trust Pilot. There you find that (excepting the obvious fake 5 star planted messages which all sound as fake as they are) the user comments are universally negative. Why is this?

Because it's ALL FAKED, totally. They bought in a bunch of data from white label sugar dating list providers, including photos (all taken of real girls from other sites) got a bunch of monkeys or Chat GPT to write some generic profiles and posted them all up as 'genuine' female advertisers. They're not. They also got a lot of girls to record the phrase 'Let me be Your Secret'> in so-called 'Verification Videos'. More than half of these look NOTHING like the photos, are miserable, at home in no make up and look as bored as they sound. Maybe there are a few dumb females who actually have no idea what's going on with this site and have actually joined up but I doubt it.

This is how the scam works. They place 'women's' adverts, and the system generates a flood of (probably fake useless one line) visits, favourites, and messages and flood your inbox. You think you're lucky this time and PAY to read some messages. They turn out to be useless ion fact they are one line system generated from a script. None will ever mention or bear any relation to your advert as they are not from a person who has read it only a bot. You are told you can reply as many times as you want when you have 'unlocked' a chat but in reality you are communicating with a BOT and the system is set to never reply to your messages unless you run out of credits to make you buy more, but they keep on sending you more 'new' ones so you increase your purchase of 'credits' to read them. It's a SCAM!

Also you will see that once you buy the cheapest 'credits' package it vanishes from the site menu and you can only buy the next higher one every time. This is accomplished but simple fakery designed to make men think that there are real girls out there replying and elicit your cash to speak with them but NO ONE will ever answer and you will NEVER get a date. It is nothing else but total FRAUD.

I found on this site the profile of my current girlfriend (who I met on another real sugar dating site - SA) using her exact same photos taken from there with a different name, location and details. She had NO knowledge of this site at all. This has now been removed.

To Test my FAKE hypothesis I added my phone number onto my profile so ANY GIRL who apparently visited my profile would see this immediately and bypass the site. Normally such a trick would net dozens of calls. NO ONE GIRL HAS EVER USED THIS NUMBER ergo there are no girls reading it.

IN short therefore this is the FAKEST of FAKES a site entirely run as a fruit machine scam with NO Prizes, put money in, get nothing out... This criminal enterprise should be closed down.

GO read the negative 1 and 2 star reviews (the true ones) on Trust Pilot or join free and try this yourself and watch the deluge of fake messages (which you will never be able to read) pour in...

-Fake profiles
-Stolen or Purchased data and photos not live users
-System Generated Closed Responses
- Must buy credits to read the (faked) responses
- NO genuine female users just an illusion
- Misrepresentation of the highest order
- Fruit Machine Credits churn with no possible result
-Financial Scam

There are a mix I have found on this site of bot responses, Fake profiles, and then there are very Legitimate ones! I think I have a secret method of success figured out.

If you are truly seeking to meet up and gain a wonderful attentive sugar baby then read on:

Omit all unverified contacts

Begin with only a heart and a private photo access request.

When they say HI in whatever way they do, judge THAT! A simple, "Hello" followed by no response after yours, I believe may be BOT driven. Not always true, but more often than not you will not see any further response after you respond. That causes you to simply spent credits, which is only in the best interest of our webhost!

If the girl that engages you actually says things of ANY meaningful value then you have a real girl. Watch for the usual unexpected language issues in their text communication. Look for structural grammatical inaccuracies, if they say they are in America, and it's not just typos either. Like listen to their words as if reading from an Eastern European accent, or something. If she states she's foreign, then OK. Honesty and Integrity of sorts does go a long way here I have found. You just might not always like the results. You won; t get the exact girl you might want, or you may find another. It's all a game of search. Once you get to text talking to some real girls you know you want to connect with, then initiate voice contact, and expose your numbers to each other.

Many may want to jump to Telegram, or WhatsApp. I use Telegram for its security (sic) Some may outright give your their numbers. I protect my identity by using Duo, as well as a throw away cell phone for protecting my actual business interests and using Duo's phone number proxy service where the caller ID masks your real ID. There are other very legit, and reputable services such as this that will work to provide the communication you want, and the Identity protection in this underbelly of the world, you are GOING to need. Scammers are abundant! Always, always, always remember that! They will sneak attack when you think you might actually meet someone, but they will NEVER meet, and seldom agree to meet you. NEVER give or send any of your hard earned green to anyone you have NOT met in person, and developed *some* rapport and trust with. Even then there are dishonest girls, and the usual crap you *ALWAYS* gotta look out for. I have so far been lucky to NOT run into any here off of this site.

If your respondent will actually engage in an actual voice conversation, you most likely have the real deal. If they avoid calls, video chats, etc, then beware.

I have found Catphishers, scammers, con artists of all kinds on dating web sites, and they are worse now than ever. AM is the ABSOLUTE worst! SB is good as long as you STAY with the VERIFIED members and you LISTEN to her say the words, "Let me be your secret" in HER Verification video. (That also makes some judge if I want to contact her or not) Also if YOU are Legit, and looking for a gal to spend some quality time with on an exchange basis, VERIFY yourself! If you are worried about being outed, make it private yourself.

Identify yourself immediately to your girl as being legit, once you feel she is more legit than a bot, and prove that in SOME way! Like if you; re both in the same town, mention something very local, that ONLY locals would know, like an excellent brew-pub or something of a local eccentric nature to perhaps suggest for your first meet at. That opens the door to further conversation I find.

The Video chat followed by the coffee date is where the rubber meets the road, and then you two can go off and do whatever…

About the arrangements: The more experienced will be more moo-lah!
Follow regular dating rules. I find mentally "Dating" them and treating them the way they want to be treated in coming to this site, will also gain huge mileage with your SB girl. Unless in your heart you actually are dating them for the arranged exchange. Then of course it's full on - all in! Most all of them I have actually met, are extremely sweet girls who want nothing more than to please YOU and gain something in return. Her SD!

I have had 5 successful initial meetups that 2 for truly logistical and other scheduling (MY bad) and operational reasons didn't work out, and have had three successful sugar baby's from this site. Good Luck Fellas!

So I have had several experiences / conversations thus far from the site. And the girls on the site seem to be the full spectrum from outright pay to play to women looking for a boyfriend. From the three in person experiences, I am 0-3 thus far. One girl didn't even show up for the date citing "she didnt think the set date was serious" when in fact we had confirmed date / time / place two days earlier? And the date set at a very nice restaurant I might add... That is what it is and not much more I can say. The 2nd lady was a model/beautician/salesperson who did show up for the date. It was a nice time, fun, good conversation, nice girl. But this person, clearly well trained in how to look her best, decided to stop home after work and dress further down from her assumed business casual work sales attire. So she shows up to a nice steakhouse in sneakers, ripped jeans, a sweatshirt, and baseball cap, with minimal if any makeup on. Yes I said Baseball cap... Well she has Filet Mignon taste with a Burger King appearance. Should I be offended or feel disrespected? I mean, if your aim is to be treated like a Barbie Doll, step one would be to look like and carry yourself like one... correct? Arm candy if that's what you want to be needs to look sweet... As a man, if I show up to the date substantially better dressed than the girl, well, that's an issue... The 3rd meeting was a nice girl, straight conversation, just not for me. I gave the site 3 stars because thus far nothing that has gone wrong on those 3 dates is their fault... but hard to recommend the site if the quality of people are no shows / please don't embarrass me dates... Ot hard to recommend if most women dont answer e-mail. That being said, I am seeing alot of potentially fake accounts. Accounts where the pics posted are very attractive, they write to me to entice me to spend credits to write back. When I write back, nobody there... I'm keeping a record of all the activities and who does what because something tells me that while there are certainly real people on the site, I'm relatively sure the site is also sponsoring fake activity for financial gain. Update: Nothing new and same stuff others are experiencing. No replies, etc. And with the premis of the site, I really don't believe any of these other reviews citing "found the one", etc, etc.

I have been on their site more than six months as a free service. I finally decided to try their paid service. I tried their lowest paid service is about $90 for 200 of their credits. I get emails from possible matches from women I am not interested in; so I blocked them and delete their conversation so I don't use the credits. However, my count of unread messages do not change. I email their customer support about and they said that I have to read them in order for that number to decrease (meaning use more credits and pay more money to get rid of those unread messages).

Also, when I try to establish a connection with possible dates (which cost 10 credits to message or see their messages) I message for them for a bit to gauge what they are looking for in the relationship. When I feel comfortable enough try to meet with them at a public place to talk more details. So far, there have been no response about that. I tried messaging them and still no response.

I have tried making first contact with others on the site I am interested in and also get no response (remember this is costing me 10 credits for each member I try to message). The women in this sites seems fake to me since they are not responding. Their profiles are probably set up be the site owner in order to get customers to scam you out of more money from them. There does not seem to be any genuine people on this site to really talk to in person. I would avoid this kind of service if they cannot guarantee you are going to meet with a real person.

As you can seen in one screenshot uploaded (as long as that last), all the user says is "Hi" and that's it. "She" has not logged in at all since the first day I contacted her.

In another screenshots, I talked to another user and we exchange texting numbers. It seems like she was the one as we has similar interests. However, a week later, no replies from text. No replies on the site and when I tried to access her profile; gone.

WTF! Maybe I should try the verified members but for all you know they are probably scammers too.

FYI, I never got that unlimited membership from the first reply they sent and still getting the same type of profiles on here from the first time I went to their website. I know some of the profiles here are fake because they sent me a message and they don't bother to read my profile that specifically states what type of date I am looking for. Why would I respond to someone I am going to dislike at the first minute we go on a date?
