My experience with Interpals left me feeling highly disappointed.
Sure, I didn't expect a lot from a free chat website, but I have to admit that I expected slightly better than this.
There was issues uploading photos, issues viewing photos, no response from admin regarding these issues, 419 scammers not limited to any particular country, annoying messages from people who apparently find it too 'time consuming' to bother reading the request section of a person's profile, but on the same token, insist that they 'want to get to know you better'.
Most of the messages I received were of the same boring generic nature, strangers wanting my Skype, whatsapp, facebook and so forth within five minutes of having introduced themselves.
This same style of time-wasting, frustrating messaging was noted with such frequency that I am now of the belief that Interpals must be crawling with spambots.

I wonder how many genuine profiles there actually are?

Honestly, I have had better quality conversations on mIRC chat and yahoo forums. That's really saying something.
