Yes. This site spams the living crap out of your inbox all day every day with messages of multiple views, likes, and of people wanting to meet you. You upgrade, then there are only a few messages, and none of them ever reply to your text, whether the dot by their picture is green or not. You then see how you've been took by the site, your three days to cancel are up, and you're out at least $29.95, getting nothing for your money. If anybody gets a reply after upgrading, the "member" wants you to join some other paid site, then disappear. A predatory, scam site that should have gone under long ago. I don't consider myself bad -looking, not even the most average looking women will reply, probably just a bunch of old, cancelled accounts. Perhaps they hadn't been there in years. I am in my forties, and have found that this is just another adolescent, "swipe left or right on a single photo" kind of deal. Couldn't be any more shallow. Am not going to renew. Once you cancel, then this site will bombard your email with more phony "likes" and interests" to entice you to back to their website. You have to further upgrade supposedly to see if your message has been read, it may TELL you your message has been read, while, if you check "Connections", it will say that very person isn't even online at that same moment. You must "upgrade" to hear from free members, buy "coins" to boost yourself, and they also have a "Zoosk Live", where many women run personal telethons, and you can't really compliment the skimpy outfit without getting your account deleted. They just want you to throw money at them for doing absolutely nothing, even being rude to people, in some cases, yet nothing happens to their account. All Zoosk cares about is keeping that cash rolling in from the desperate and gullible.

I've been off and on this site for several years, no matter who you think you're chatting with they always make the same excuses as I've seen in other reviews for not sharing any contact information. Like they don't have a phone, they'll get back to you when they do. They never do. You'll get the same exact invite multiple times, several erotic invites, only to get some generic "Hello" or something if you answer the question. You can even get the same messages on the app from the same profiles even without a photo. The Camshare is six credits, or around six Dollars a minute, it appears to be looped, oftentimes if you ask them to wave or something they'll either refuse, or the video seems to flicker and change to them waving. It's said also that they aren't really typing in the video, they're playing video games and some employee is actually answering you. One site on YouTube showed where you can search in Russian and find "translating " work from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 p. M working for these sites, and the pay is better than what the average Ukrainian makes per week or per month. Maybe $2,000 USD monthly. I've seen the same video in the one - way version of Camshare where it should be night, or day when it should be night there, same clothes on, same gesticulations, pretending to be live. When someone wants to meet a member they'll either make up excuses not to be there, be a no - show, or look as though they've never seen you before, reviews say, and probably because they haven't. Others say they were drugged and robbed during their meeting, one supposedly left for dead. They also run Amolatina, AsianDate, ArabianDate, all through SOL.It's now $50.00 USD per month for maybe a couple of hours' worth of chat, or much less for two - way? Video. I couldn't even get the share camera button to work on one of their sites, and the member? Said they couldn't see me either. It would probably fare better to go through something like MatchGuaranty, you get a few free Skype video calls with a few women, you have to go to them to meet, $500 to get their contact information. On Anastasia you have to gift them with some flowers worth about ten bucks, so I've seen going for $300 to send through the site. It's also said that they have stock photos of the lady posing with the different gifts, or they just return the stuff and keep the money, probably with their boyfriend or even their husband. I think you had to have at least a hundred credits, probably costing at around $100 for a measly ten - minute phone call. Where you could ask for contact information. Allegedly they'd often refuse, or give you some email they don't really monitor, drop you after a couple of messages for your trouble, or a non - working phone number. Others say that the translator is the one answering the emails and will continue to try to get more money out of you, using various tactics. The sympathy factor, someone's sick, got into an accident, need rent, etc. I mostly just go there anymore just for the photo shopped photos. Most of the time they didn't look that much like their professional model shots, which a lot of them are said to have had them done for, plus small compensation for free use of the provided information. Once saw one listed as never married, found her through Google Search in a magazine article doing a model shoot, with mention of her husband. Tried to contact Anastasia about it, was asked to provide proof, of course. When I'd gone back to find the info again it could no longer be found. So evidently they protect the scam. Nowadays you can't find ANY of the model photos in search engines to possibly contact the lady through VK, the Russian Facebook. I'd tried to reach out to six different people who'd I'd thought initiated contact and interest, never answering through there, nor if found to be on Skype. Sharing all your details and Anastasia membership ID didn't help. Along with photos.One I'd found on VK in translation went on about her witch like practices, weird artwork, and making men feel important by expecting expensive gifts and money. Nobody ever got back to me, yet continued to write me through the site. People would say that even after meeting in person many still wanted to continue communicating through the site. Others are prostitutes for hire. If you would like to get a phone number that just rings or doesn't go through, nor returned then drop by, they'll help lighten the load in your hip pocket. I doubt if one spent twenty years there they'd ever find two - way love. And if you ask for a refund for unwanted auto - billed credits either they won't, or they'll block your credit card. I think a decent credits package now costs around $400 per month. And I've seen several profiles with the same pictures that had been up since at least 2014, with a couple of new ones, or no new ones whatsoever. It used to be $15.99 per month for either ten "free" three- minute chats, or one twenty - minute one, not nearly enough time to get to know anyone for what they really are like. And they usually window - dress the site with the eighteen and twenty year olds, often scantily clad.

All you get are people or bots spending the free three minutes asking YOU if you're real or not. Seem to time the replies to use that time up,, instead of trying to know anything about you. Several erotic invites, only to reply " Hello", or something. And if you play along it sounds like it or they have no idea of what the first message they'd asked was. Even when you bother to put up a photo they'll ask you what you look like, or how big your nose is? You have to contact their customer service just to terminate your membership. $19.99 only buys twenty minutes of live? Chat. I took down my photo, got as many invites and comments about how "handsome" I looked, like how could they know? All you get on any of these related sites run by SOL Solutions or whoever they are is the opportunity to waste your life talking to probably paid work - from - homers pretending to be these profiles. They'd always make up an excuse to not share any outside way to talk to them, no phone? Then how do they communicate? I've seen where people can search out in Russian for work from home opportunities to "translate" between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., good money, too.If you get the apps you can sometimes get two different messages from allegedly the same member at the same time, or even on different sites at the same moment. I no longer buy blocks of time on these sites, wasted too much already. To even call someone you have to pay like one hundred Dollars just for ten minutes. The credit system is insane.

I have played their games for months, always getting a bunch of emails every day, jumped through so many hoops doing all their searches, only getting tokens, then seeing that I'm getting advertisements from these recommended search items, showing that they spy on your browser once you perform these searches. All I ever got after blowing ten million tokens on a single gift card sweepstakes prize this year were some more tokens. I have entered lots of other token sweeps, but never collected ANY prize from them. Very time consuming, doesn't seem to be worth the effort. As others say they really try to shame you into buying their cheesy merchandise all day long, and getting up in jewel ranking and becoming a VIP just gets you more hoops to jump through, MORE badgering than ever to buy more crap, and getting soaked on shipping and handling. I've only ever seen one check for ten dollars, not really worth taking to the bank for all my input effort, and a five - dollar check I never received when I had just gone up in ranking. I hate the way they beat you over the head to buy, buy, buy, telling you to "show us how badly you want to win", but they don't really show US that they want to do much but send you virtual tokens which don't seem to be worth the time it takes to earn even if you had a billion of them to blow on one prize, I would say it would be time better spent just playing the state power ball lottery every now and again, the odds are less astronomical than trying to win anything from Uncle Scrooge, I mean PCH.The winners all do seem to be well - dressed and living in nice houses, never do they show someone from a poor neighborhood getting a life- changing prize, usually some elder folks who probably won't even live long enough to collect the majority of the multi- year prize. It's said that the only time the window is open for someone to win in their system is only a fraction of an unannounced second, I suppose you would have to happen to be playing a game at that exact moment in time to ever win a big prize. I believe that's the only way these can be called games of chance, not so much in happening to have picked the right numbers or anything. I'm sure they make loads of money every time you use their browser to search out anything, and sell your personal information over and over again, makes you feel like you're' the hoe and they are your pimp, making you jump through hoops like an addicted well- trained seal. Their instant win games you NEVER make the field goal, usually come in last or next to last in the car race, never pick the winning horse, etc. Making you feel like an unlucky, unskilled schmuck. I think it's just filthy rich people having fun at other people's expense, selling people to death on cheap junk they doubtlessly even need to sell to stay rich until the end of days.
