First thing to note, the URL ends in ". Co" not ". Com". For anyone trying to spot something sketchy, that's a big thing to keep an eye on.

Second, when I first made an account, I counted exactly 20 matches, exactly 5 of which had exactly 1 profile image, exactly 10 of which had some semblance of a bio that was short, and really not that appealing, and exactly 15 of which had names that weren't just a seemingly random series of letters and numbers interjected into a common word or phrase. And of the 10 with bios, their headlines, unless geeks are just terrible at that sort of thing, were all way too generic as though no thought at all went into them. "Not sure what to put here", "Gamer Girl", "the real windwaker". Like really? If there's anything that's been so obviously auto-generated, this is it. That, or the users there are so very unoriginal.

Third thing to note, they only claim to have 200,000 users? And they claim to be growing by 6k per day? A steady climb like that is only possible with bots or fake amounts as filler. And as for the 200k users, that apparently spread across the entire globe. Meaning that the chances that there's even just 1 other person within 50,000 miles of anyone else's location is so infinitesimally small, I'm surprised they feel it with bragging about! A true geek or nerd would see those numbers and scoff when they also see 20 incomplete accounts with exactly 1 image max when there's a base REQUIREMENT when making the account for at least 1 photo? As though magically when you created an account 20 people of your desired gender just happened to create an account too within your search area at the same time? Really? The numbers just don't add up.

And finally, the website is incomplete and still using HTML format. Even if they paid a service like wix to create a website, the baseline stuff looks better than this. It's as though if they tried making the entire site from scratch themselves, using basic level HTML coding they just learned to make this.

So if your website really is real Geek2Geek.co, you might want to address these issues. And if it is a scam, you'll be a far more effective scamming site if you address these matters too. I mean, really?

Tip for consumers:
DON'T USE THIS SITE! IT'S A SCAM!!!

I don't think I can be much clearer than that. The URL is incomplete, the "matches" are auto-generated in clumps of 5, the numbers don't add up at all seeing as 200,000 "users" spread across the entire world, hell even if just spread across the entire USA, would mean 1 person for every 50,000+ square miles in the US alone. Meaning nobody would statistically find real world matches anywhere near them.

Products used:
Geek2Geek.co
I tried using their free account, saw nothing, as in no matches, I had no profile, etc. Then I tried using their gold account. Only to quickly see all the flaws immediately after making a purchase on their site. Suddenly there were 20 matches after I paid them for an upgraded account? Yeah right...

Currently in the process of trying to get a refund, but I don't have high hopes.
