Oldcooldates is anything but. This site is rife with old naked ladies and prostitutes. Women either want phone sex or they immediately give their number wanting that one on one contact. Deleting your profile is next to impossible. If you don't "verify" who you are (using the ole credit card again) within 24 hours they threaten you with a $200.00 penalty. Save your time, energy, and money.

POF (Plenty of Fish) is the most free dating site that I have found. Unfortunately it is also one of the most abused site for scammers. I have met ladies that showed an interest in me. Nearly 100% of them eventually asked me for money/gift cards, for a variety of reasons. Having some experience with dating sites, I have found a number of pirated photos that are being used. I have also read the exact same paragraphs on a number of topics from many different women, suggesting that these accounts have a centralized business model. Be aware of the grammar or sentence structure oddities. Take the time to research photos on various scammer identifications sites. And never send money or gift cards to someone you have never met.

It appears that a good number of ladies are employees, baiting you to buy into the site. I have found a considerable number of contacts utilize fake, pirated photos claiming that their sister or aunt set up their site. Also the ages posted are typically wrong, suggesting younger ladies are looking for older gentlemen, those with money, for financial benefits. "Never send money to ladies (or men) you haven't actually met." Typically the request for money is that their phone is acting up, their mother needs food, they will come to you if you pay for the ticket. Kismia is slow to respond to claims of fake profiles (blocking reasons). Kismia does have a better reputation than POF (Plenty of Fish) in terms of the level of fake profiles/photos/age/cities claimed to reside. The rule of thumb is that if it's too good to be true, a beautiful girl showing an interest in me, it probably is..
