Zoosk

A really decent dating site not only for dating but just meeting people. Everyone should try zoosk it could brighten your day meeting nice people.

I think it's a scam, it's like they have all these pics that you go thru, but nobody on the other side of the pics,

I joined as a free member and stayed that way for about a week and loads of people checked out my profile and sent messages I couldn't open. I also got a lot of the round robin type emails that get sent out and hopefully fool you into thinking you're doing even better than you are and tempt you to spend out on a contract.

I paid a months membership and sure enough there were some personal emails as well. I continued to get some good interest and yet decided I'd not stay with this site after a month as I have membership elsewhere.

I contacted their customer service to check that I would still have access for the remainder of my paid for month and was assured I would even though some of the info on the site suggested to me that you'd lose your fee when you cancelled. They cancelled my re billing contract (without me actually asking them to do so. I'd only asked a question). Now real issue here and I did indeed still have access as advised but guess what? This was a couple of days ago and I have had only two views since and no email or other contact from anyone! Lol!

The other strange thing was that when I joined as a free member (and I have to admit I was a tad cynical about this at the time) there was a very high proportion of profiles with pictures of professional quality depicting stunning women. I'm sure some of these were genuine :) However I have never seen this ratio of "supermodels" to normal mere mortals before.

Finally this happens in life I know. But it seems to happen on some sites more regularly and this site is one of them for me. Namely arranging to meet someone who continually tries to rearrange on you.

I've been on sites where this hasn't happened in years of membership. I've been on sites where it happens almost as soon as you join and strangely seems to happen most frequently at the end of the month when your fee is due. Someone pops up out of the blue and wants to meet you! Co-incidence maybe?

I sure wouldn't recommend this site, although I expect it works well for some.

There is a lot NOT to like about Zoosk. Like any singles site out there they have lots of pictures. But here is what is a rip off:

1. If you edit your profile and put something in there that they do not like - I simply told people when I was canceling so we could figure out alternative way to keep in contact, I got an email saying "You profile has been accepted with minor changes." Well, the: minor" change was to totally eliminate what I put in my profile! They did this twice! So, censorship is alive and well at Zoosk even though it did NOT violate their terms f agreement.

2. They have the "Carousel" which is a series of pictures of potential partners. You either say you are interested or not. Problem is all they will show you is the picture. No location, nothing that would indicate they would be a match for you. You have to get "tokens" to do this. Then once you say you want to meet that person it costs you 30 tokens to actually see their profile. I can honestly ell you that 99% of the people they sent me lived at least 75 miles away.

3. When I complained to Zoosk about censoring my profile, they cancelled my subscription! They said I could still access my account for "free" although all I could do is see that people sent me messages. I could not rad anything or respond. Despite cancelling my membership when I looked at my account, they billed me for renewal for another month. When I wrote them complaining about charging me for a service they weren't providing me, they ignored my letter.

So, there are far better places to do business than Zoosk. To me their style of censorship and way of doing business, both when you have an issue with them, and taking you for a ride when actually using the site make this one of the worst online services!
