I am a free user on zoosk, I think as other users have found out that zoosk.com is all a PURE SCAM and the whole think is geared up just to get your credit card details.

I had a user contact me, she has a attractive profile picture, but as a free user I could only read first 2 words of her message and to read the rest I need to paid.

Obviously I think she is attractive and would like to find out more, and this is how they get you hooked! I would need to pay to read her message. (I am guessing like someone on here said that if I did pay, soon after I do her profile will disappear from the site.

On clicking on her attractive profile image and reading her profile I soon had my doubts about it being genuine. The profile description did not sound right, with a poor use of english and dumb responses to questions, it did not sound like english was not her native language. Her answer for a first date was 'love and happiness!'

You want the person that contacted you to be real, you really do, but it does not stack up.

To confirm this I did a search on zoosk in my local area and found 2 profiles using the same profile image of the girl who contacted me.
Both profiles used the same profile photo of the attractive girl but they bothe had different dates of birth, different locations (same county) and different education details. One had degree, the other just college. I think they have slipped up here and this only confirms to me that the people working at zoosk create false accounts probably using peoples facebook images without their permission to lure people into subscribing so they can read and respond to the fake user.

I also found that the zoosk site lies about the status updates of users that appear on the sites home page. I have regularly viewed a profile I was interested in and that person has never updated their info yet the zoosk homepage says user has made an update to a part of their profile.

BE CAREFUL, ZOOSK seems bad news, I believe it is diss-honestly going about its business and do not think, like me that just because it has a TV advert it is safe, it is a SCAM business!
