It is certainly better than other sites I joined in the past, but do not expect life long friendship with anyone! Scammers do exist on this site, in spite of good moderators: they really seem to care, unlike other penpal clubs around... But most of the times, especially if you are a female member, you will be contacted by men looking for romance and also perverts, continuously, even though you specify you are looking for friendship only. I joined a couple of times, I received messages from the same men members over and over again. And this club is not meant to be for dating. After a while, I was annoyed. I give it two stars as moderators are good, but pals will stop writing after a while. Nothing new... Same happens with people in real life...

I decided to create a new account, and give it a try again. I hoped I could find a few penpals this time, with a bit of luck. Well, after a few days, I already deleted the account. So so many scammers, one in particular. Exactly the same messages I received when I first joined the penpal club a few years ago. At first, this Indian scammer from the same profile again, using several ones. From India at first, pretending to be a woman, in a sari, no face in the photo, somebody posted the word "scammer" on his wall. A few years ago he made up a story about having severe family problems, and he... Urgently needed my e-mail address. I recognized the picture immediately. I couldn't post on his wall, as he wouldn't allow anyone... Obviously. Then he tried and contact me from several other fake profiles, same style, blocked wall, fake photos, from Afghanistan, USA, and also as an inactive user. He could easily post any messages he liked this way, as he couldn't be blocked. I had to block my message section from penpals members and wall. Not to mention about the disgusting, cowards scammers posting insulting and racist messages on the wall as inactive users, cowardly hiding away... Lions behind the keyboard, but cowards in real life. I joined again and I regret it. I wanted to find the only decent Italian lady pal I had, but she was no longer there, and who can blame her... And then, perverts, jealous women (you can be sure if you are a woman, they will never contact you), rude and ignorant messages. Such a "great" place! If someone decent is trying to contact you, you won't believe him. And won't believe it! Nobody can be trusted
