This is a nice and one of the few completely free dating sites. I like it because you are reasonably sure its just people from the UK. Although after saying that you can log in from other countries so who knows for sure. I think there are still a few selection of scammers and other questionable people on the site but as long as you use your common sense it seems pretty good.
We try and strike a balance between allowing people to access from other countries, e.g. when working abroad or on holiday, whilst not allowing people who are based abroad, and therefore cannot physically go on dates. We use Scamalytics to fight scammers, and remove sex pests whenever they are reported to us.
Last year I ordered an expensive grade 1 Italian leather covered arm chair. It took months to be delivered. They dumped it in my lounge and I had to unpack it myself. When I did I saw 2 leather coloured gunk filled holes and lots of scratches all over the leather. I called immediately and complained. When someone came around to inspect it they accused me of being too fussy. They said they weren't going to do anything about it as there was nothing wrong with it and it would pass their QA inspection. So I was left with it without any help what-so-ever. I finally called them back a few days later after talking with family and thinking about what I could do. I told them I was going to involve Watchdog. The manager of the store was knocking at my door the following day. He came in to inspect it and basically was very arrogant and confrontational with me. But finally said he would give me a full refund as I was too awkward a customer. I will never buy anything from them again.
One of my friends used to work at Madbid and says he knows the company pays people to bid against legitimate customers in order to make them have to rebid to use more credit. The site is absolutely ripping people off and anyone with anything good to say about the site is more than likely one of those paid employees who bid against proper customers.
