Ashley Madison is a large garbage bin. Fake profiles disguised as real people, automated responses disguised as genuine correspondence, and tons of scammers. I was drawn into conversations with Ashley Madison scammers by highly sexual messages. But don't set your expectations high: no matter how sweet, affectionate or sexual the messages are, they won't get you any closer to a real meet up. These messages are written either by chatbots or con artists. There is absolutely no verification of profiles on AM. The administration doesn't give a damn about customer satisfaction and the integrity of the site.

I have been on this site for almost a year. I found way too many fake profiles and customer service was terrible. They didn't answer me until my 3 rd email. Would not refund any of the credits that I asked for. This is not the same site that it used to be. I heard it was taken over by someone else. That's probably why it turned to crap

Nov 19, 2025

The first 10 minutes I joined the site I had 50 responses from hot women trying to suck up my credits. In my search area page it's shows 95% hot women and about 3 ugly $#*! pathetic looking women. The 3 ugly $#*! ones are the only real profiles. I quickly identified the scammer or bot profiles because they they look exactly the same except with different photos. All 1 photo with titles a man would write and no info about the person. My guess is they write these things fast and in bulk. I paid about $100 for a month and the only enjoyment I get out of the site is playing dumb with the women trying to hustle me until I get bored with them. The biggest red flag is none of them will meet in person but always say "soon". My question is: is AM doing the scamming with their programming or do they turn a blind eye to the scammers that do their dirty work for them so they can sell credits and the scammers get the big payday scamming people out of money or black mailing them. Granted a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then but there needs to be a congressional investigation of AM and other dating sites and shut them all down and fine them with a class action suit.

They encourage you to get more and more credits. You don't have to buy any credits for chatting on <a href="http://FlirtAFF.com"><b>FlirtAFF.com</b></a> It's membership-based which is a more fair system and they have a slew of genuine women, some of them are really sexy and naughty. Chatting on AshleyMadison can be an endless activity. However the worst thing is that it's completely pointless because noone is after a real thing there. Girls keep putting off personal meetings. They don't even want to talk for free anywhere outside of AshleyMadison.

Sep 23, 2025

Worst site ever! I talked to a several 100 people on there. 100% of them used photos from other sites, they were not the real people on the other end. Roughly 60% of them were more interested in scamming you, getting you to invest in crypto or gold or other things…. It is a complete waste of your time and money.

AM boasts about how many followers they have in order to make us believe they supply what they promise. Free dating is so much more effective and I find many of the same ladies there now.

PLEASE READ: AM IS A SCAM.
November 15, 2019

Please listen. I came into this gullible and vulnerable. I was so u happy In relationship. Looking for comfort. They prey on this. They also prey on fact that people don't want To make big deal of it cause of fear of being busted. They prey on this. I tried it, lots of fake accounts and fake accounts that are designated to keep u spending. Which is exactly what you'll do. U will see messages You can't access until u spend more money. Then u spend money and the messages are all bull$#*!T. They are are set up to drain men for money. It's not really a site to help people meet. It prays on men specifically. Settingbuo accounts that gear at men spending more money. Use caution. U will see. I guarantee. When u express interest u will be sent message u will have to pay more for tonsee just to find out it's a dead end

Fake messages and girls. Don't waste your money. Buy a few credits, and then get it will a bill for another $80 for another hundred or so you didn't order. Auto billing. Avoid them like the plague.

Just a way to scam you out of your $$

Fake messages from fake people and fake messages from a few real people who never contacted me.
I've had some of the real people tell me they never sent the message. AM sent from their profile. Just a way to scam you out of your $$. Pathetic.

B- from me
October 26, 2019

AM is one of these clever sites that you dont know whether youre joining a dating site or some kind of online Italian clothes store! It could be a fashion brand as it's nice to look at (and really very easy to use) but when I compare it with sites that have actually came through for me in the past (NoStringsAffair the clear example) then it falls short. I'm all for my dating sites to be big businesses and look professional but they need to get me results within 3 months or I move on. In fairness, if NSA stops working for me I would probably come back and give it another try.

Site full of scammers
October 23, 2019

I have been in AM for a month now and all i get are requests from scammers. Like today someone contacted me and sent me her email. Turnout it did not work. When I ask her why it was not working she ask me for my e-mail. This kind of attack is very common, you give then your email and the you will receive an email from them with an attachment with pictures. Once you click on the attachment they can download ransomware and bang they own your computer and you have to pay to get your access back. Be careful guys, these individual target lonely men...

Not what it used to be
October 1, 2019

Just tried Ashley Madison after not using it for several years. I had some luck several years ago. The site is not what it used to be. The changes in the interface are horrible. 1. You can't tell if the profiles you are looking at are someone currently using the system or someone who has not visited for months. 2. No idea how many credits I have

Know what you're getting into
September 28, 2019

Yes, there are fake profiles. Yes, there are escorts.
And yes, scammers. That being said, these should all be fairly easy to identify when you're on the site. I've been on for a little over a month and have had contact off the site with about 7 women. Get the people you're talking to off the site (go to kik, Snapchat or something like it). Also, so many guys blame not talking to any women on the site just being a scam. Maybe don't post a pic of your $#*!? How bout smiling in your profile pic instead of looking like an angry rapist? Common sense, clean yourself before taking a pic... wear a nice freaking shirt. If you're sending real messages to enough women that don't have shady profiles and take the time to create a decent profile yourself, you'll meet someone.

Met 1 real woman in a year
September 6, 2019

I'd give the site a 1 star but did actually meet one woman 7 months ago. I'm not a hard luck case and don't have issues meeting woman. I thought it would be a nice way to find specifics in what I'm looking for. That said, issues that concern me on the site- 1) The second I ran out of credits, 2 " women" sent me messages collect. How convenient. 2) But, they sent me messages and never looked at my profile? Come on, if you take the time to respond you at least click to see who someone is. 3) They have a " flirt" response on the men's selections that says "Please check out my profile to see if you might be interested in connecting with me. If you are interested, "wink" me back and I will initiate contact!" This is free. It seems fair, only spend money on messages to women that at least show a small amount of interest. The trouble is, The main response you get back is " Sorry, I only have time to review full messages" so a complete waisted set of communications. Come on AM, your way more interested in making bucks than actually providing any meaningful way for people to find others and pay you fairly to do it. Please, show them you don't like their business practices and stop buying credits, cancel you account, and hurt them for taking advantage of people...

Fake profiles and manipulation by the site
September 1, 2019

I've occasionally chatted with what I think are real women, but mostly men or fakes. I know this because after a while they tell me. Also, I used to get tons of messages and emails from women', so I bought some credits. All of those messages (were talking 3-5 a day?) immediately stopped once I paid them money. That tells me those were fakes, that the site manipulates you into paying for credits. I'm sure 1/1000 profiles on that site are real, but you buy credits to initiate contact only to find that the profiles are escorts or men or whatever. Not worth it.

Male review, guy in the 40s. Been on and off on AM for almost 10(!) years! Met many women, had a long term affair with four women, all lasted many months. My advise, don't spend credits on suspicious profiles. If you are looking for alternatives I'd suggest Casualsexonly and Adultfriendfinder. Iny my opinion only alternatives worth mentioning...

Ashley Madison (5 Stars)
July 5, 2019

I've been using Ashley Madison for a while and let me tell you I haven't started sleeping with woman until I started using this website. I don't know what it is but the woman are way more open minded on here! My recommendation is to try it out I'm 57 years old and weight 210 so if they are willing to meet up with me I'm sure they will meet up with anyone. http://bit.ly/AshleyMadisonPage
