On one hand I'm angry that I got ripped off, on the other I'm somewhat impressed at how sound of a scam they are running with this site. They truly run a tight ship, every base is covered from advertising, search engine study, fake reviews, web design, fake female profiles... they sell the illusion perfectly without slipping on 1 detail all the way up until the moment you pull the trigger and spend $50+ to dip your feet in the water and begin messaging, then the cracks begin forming in their deceptive racket... but at that point The job is done so why would they care. I'm not by any means a stupid man, Ive never paid for a dating website until ashleymadison.com because I can usually easily detect the deception at play and I don't like being taken a fool but in a moment of weakness I let go of my good sense and forked over $75 of my honest-earned money to the crooks who run this dishonest site. What makes this site incredibly believable is the attention to detail that other scam hookup sites just don't take the time or don't have the resources to do, it begins with advertising... they do an incredible job creating the image of a legitimate, mainstream commonly used and trustworthy website that is well established as the go-to spot for extramarital hook ups. Beyond the lengths they go to create this image they back it up with fake review websites like other Fraudulent dating sites do except they take it even further with very extensive search engine study and even taking to sites like reddit, Quora, askmen and even YouTube to manipulate the information Available to prospective users($$$). Trust me, they have a lockdown on what information is available on the web because they know it will make or break their scam. So once you're convinced the site might actually produce results and you create a free profile you will be very impressed with the abundance of females in your area... plenty of game to be had and the profiles seem totally believable for my area, all are vastly unique and realistic looking, no set patterns or otherwise alarming clues... it seems as random as the real world would actually produce, but don't get excited they are indeed FAKE PROFILES being manipulated by presumably offsite contractors. After a few days of your free membership you will indeed send a few winks and favorite a few users (because that's the only interaction you can have without buying credits) and you will probably see a couple messages in your inbox aside from the generic auto-generated messages that are clearly designed to make you think you have a personal message from a user when in fact you don't. At this point their scam is working perfectly, you will think you have found the platform you've been searching for and your guard will be completely down... only one thing left to do, buy some credits and get to messaging... or so was my case, so despite the steep cost of credits I unfortunately chose to do their gift card exchange payment method and exchanged a $75 gift card for 145 credits. My understanding from what convoluted info is on the website was that an initial contact message took 5 credits and user response messages did not cost you any credits, so with that in mind 145 credits would go quite a ways and that seemed realistic for $75... in reality every message you send to a new person wether they message first or not will cost you 9 credits and every single message after that will cost 5, they very cleverly have a premium message feature if you aren't careful to avoid while sending will hit you for 14 credits. Within the first 2 hours of buying credits I was already down to less than 100... I read 4 measly messages and sent 3... what a complete rip off, that was the point I realized I've been swindled but continued using the site anyway since I had already forked out the money and at that point I hadn't messaged enough to realize that 99% of the female profiles were actually fake... and that is where the site's effort and attention to detail really fool you, the profiles seem very very real, there is no possible way to distinguish fake from real on this site. The people off-network who are creating and operating these phony female profiles are true professionals, they know how to create a very authentic and realistic facade. The only real thing that gives them away are their behavior patterns, you can be in contact with several vastly different profiles but their behaviors will be the same, also in some cases you can notice the same phrases being used coincidentally often in profile descriptions but it takes time to pick up on those little clues and that will be well after you handed your money over. Trust me guys, I'm not just some butt-hurt user who is mad because I couldn't get any attention from women, I'm telling you 100% it's a scam, that's a fact. I know it's hard to believe because they do such a great job selling their legitimacy and I know they are exactly what you're looking for but it's just A fact... fraud. Don't hand over your money to these crooks who are getting filthy rich by fraudulently exploiting vulnerable men... and getting away with it Scott free. Which really brings into question, if such a large and lucrative website can get away with obvious fraud, who else is getting away with it? I understand the moral/social inference associated with an affair website but regardless of if the users are filthy pigs or not, fraud is fraud... someone somewhere is making millions of dollars Under false pretenses and it's allowed to happen. Seriously, it's textbook fraud with millions of victims who were coerced into a dishonest transaction and yet nobody cares because of the assumed moral deviation of the victims.
