censorship

published

This site is all about money ie extracting it from you. You need to join each site individually to see profiles. Their filtering system is a joke. Profiles are incomplete or fake. Diary entries and messages are censored if there is the slightest chance you are complaining about them or their total lack of transparency or integrity. Yes I am sure some people using this site are genuine (I was) but poor grammar, bad spelling and pigeon english sentence construction and general lack of knowledge about locations and distances in Australia is a sign that something is not quite right. They read everything you write.

Too many incomplete profiles, often there's no indication that the profile is still active, and I've never had a response from any member I've contacted. However, I've had several contacts from 'members' with false profiles. After one or two messages they give you an email address and suggest staying in touch that way. Invariably they soon reveal they are Russian...
Avoid this site, and if you're on it, change your email address, and don't trust anyone offering email communication after one or two contacts.

Re: Older Dating Online Australia
I do not want correspondence directed to my Mobile where the images are miniscule. Looks like they want you to do transactions by Mobile only; as all input from laptop is "unrecognised". This is a bit of a trap. Can't unsubscribe either - there's no one to write to. Was never really on site and NEED TO BE OFF now. I hate being directed to the "NAUGHTY" site - JUST NOT MY SCENE and I HATE IT.

Big Scam Too

published

I was just on this website for few hours. I wouldn't stay on a dating site who asks for money just to read my messages. They do read your messages because as soon as you give a number or email address, they will instantly block your reply.

Suspect Operations!

published

Multiple profiles of some people. I had an introduction sent to a man that I didn't send. It was stolen off of another website I had used and I was at work when message allegedly sent! I had cancelled my account after three days and couldn't get refund after contacting them in office hours in the uk. My profile was still on there and repeatedly requests to remove were met with silence, despite being stated in their customer charter you could delete it. They then blocked me from my account.

Beware

published

There seems to be a number of sites using the same database. They do read your private messages. I suspected something was going on when I was corrected for sending my contact details in a message. I then placed the phone number in a message, not using numbers, but using letters. I was corrected again and a chat service person (asian)popped up and asked if he could help. I deleted my account and almost immediately got a flood of scam emails. Beware.

Save your money!!

published

Impersonal, lots of scammers. Emails are usually sent out in "bulk" to everyone within a geographical area, not to you personally. No instructions or guidelines and they are always trying to get more money from you for "bolt on" and "gifts". When you want to take a break or leave you have no control over your profile and have to request they delete it and then wait......

I also think that this is a con

published

Is this a "con'?

published

Not impressed. Haven't received a reply to my request to prove that a profile is not a fake, i.e. one made up by the owners of the website. Also "Bolt-ons" are extra once you have paid a monthly subscription which is inordinately high anyway. One of them is just to see whether a message or a reply to a message has been received by a member. This is wrong; the membership should cover this.

They are idiots?!

published

Just tried to join! A photo was taken from my iPad album and it was not selected by me! It is of my son, these people are stupid! I cannot delete it. I am a female they are complete idiots. How can I delete the account?

Worst ever Dating site.

published

The worst kind yet! States it free to browse but you have to entering all your details first, then lure you in further, see you have all this interest, cram your inbox with multiple emails. When you complain, suddenly no one online to speak to you??? Very dodgy!
Don't waste your time with this..

Upgrade

published

Been trying for almost one week to upgrade. This site doesn't take Visa debit cards.Not good for people who don't own a credit card.Found some men that I would have liked to get in contact with. Without a upgrade, can't meet anybody. I had a lot of messages also. This is a chance gone by.

Not user friendly.

Take money no service cannot contact for refund

published

They take money out of account when you have cancelled membership, and then make it so you cannot contact to get refund, this is against consumer laws, so report them, the more that do this they will then become answerable and enable legal action to be bought against them the quicker the better to save others losing money to theses con merchants

Bad service once paid do not get any service once you complain

absalom

published

Met a guy lived with him 4 nearly 12mnths profile was totally misleading is a bludger, doesnt want to work, has 8 kids and as far as I know 6 women all (who were vulnerable ). The Cowboy Casonovas that on these sites should be exposed and band and people should be warned. These sites have a duty of care to their clients. Are these dateing sites there to protect innocent women and children from these Absaloms or like our judicial system do these sites have misogynist and sexist views too?

No one is a fool for seeking what is a basic human need and that is companionship and we would like to think that those companies who provide such services are above reproach and no doubt there might be some that do while others simply follow those age old vices of this world of exploitation and greed to make a quick dollar over the vulnerable.

However, the other issue is that even if a company tries to be diligent in protecting legitimate users there will always be schools of sharks and chameleons circling out there in the digital world ready to pounce - the internet shines a very intense light on the fact that the world if full of unethical, unprincipled scumbags represented in equal measure by both sexes.

Laws can be circumvented and the fluidity of the internet any penalties that are imposed are temporary a company (it can be just one person) can set up the same operations overnight virtually, under another name and no one will be the wiser.

Given that companies that offer these services are not local to the country of their operations they would be difficult to prosecute given the permeable nature of doing business on the internet. A court could if the server is with that country's jurisdiction order it to be shut down but as soon as that is actioned all these scammers have to do is move countries.

The weight of evidence that would need to be collected and proven beyond reasonable doubt in a court to show that a company was committing fraud or scamming would be enormous as well as showing where the breaches in law have occurred.

In terms of cost of prosecution that too would run into many thousands of dollars a very long case that in the end may not bring about the desired result.

In this day and age the old maxim "Caveat Emptor" applies as does the statement about using the internet if it is too good to be true it is likely to be fake just leave and minimize one's losses as much as possible.

I can only agree with what Mr Smith has written above. But if only our government services could provide a free opportunity for safe meeting for folks that are so lonely and who refuse to join these commercial groups... or have been damaged by joining with them and paying for their dubious services. This would help with the health of the nation--we need a minister in charge of dealing with loneliness.....lots of chronic illness could be headed off as emotional issues affect physical health... of course... as is well known...Brenn
