Is it a bad joke? I would dearly like to laugh. Unfortunately they have conned me out of £30 of my hard earned cash. To be brief all I will say is: join them but do not give them your bank card details. Only then you will realise the tactics they use to part with your money.
Ashley Madison is a complete utter total scam. I have been a subscriber and lost GBP 65.00
The people running it should be in prison. You have been warned.
Become a member by all means but don't give them your bank card details and see what happens.
