Buyer beware most girls are paid to be on sight / absolutely no interest for you other than keeping you engaged opening pics and emails so it depletes your account
EROS 48 is a fake member. He had an excuse as to why he could never show me himself in real time, video chat or take it off the site. The site is extremely expense. He always sent emails, which are 10 credits, even though I asked him not to. EROS was going come see me for Christmas by suddenly his credit cards were blocked and his son had an emergency and the cops were at his house. I have included his photos to prevent any more scams from this.

Dear Fiona
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry that our credit system may be a source of your disappointment with our website. Indeed, using certain services costs a fixed number of credits. Would you consider contacting us at [email protected] so we could look into your credit history and maybe counsel you on how to manage your credits efficiently?
These girls are really good at pulling you along, for more money, just to look at a photo to see what country
There from, or state, they charge you 22.99 every time. Be careful here nothing but deception..
Dear Alan. We are sorry that the pricing policy of our website has left you disappointed. Indeed, using certain services costs a fixed number of credits that you buy separately. But every credit purchased by you is used to support all of the departments that ensure you have a safe and enjoyable time on our site. That's why our services aren't cheap. Please send us an email at: [email protected] and we will provide you with tips on how to use credits efficiently.
You'll sign-up then receive all these fake emails from Dating's robot that repeats names, profiles & emails endlessly. Your mailbox will be full of fake stuff until you pay them.
See the example of just 1 page of my inbox after I signed up without any details/photo on my profile.

If you have encountered any suspicious behavior on the app, please report it at [email protected]! We are looking forward to resolving the issue as soon as possible.
Very few profiles are actually people genuinely looking for a partner. I set up a profile and had around 3,000 messages (A lot from China). When I joined/paid - thanks to 23.99 euros, any msg I replied to, quickly took all the 'credits' I purchased. Be aware if you want to read emails or msg or open emails/chat/pictures etc. they have a 'virtual cost' - read the small print as any 'gift' or msg comes with this cost. It is a waste of money and I am personally asking for a refund RIP OFF. Shame on you Dating.com, for profiting off people's emotions. Horrible experience.

Too many scammers. It's easy to open your account with your picture, have it authorized, then change it to whoever profile you want. I reported the scammers all the time but they just give that same bull$#*! reply. Also, the credits, I must have spent $2,000 in 1 month and believe I didn't get all my credits. It's easy to spend these credits if you want to have an advance conversation with an interest. Many messages from hunks that you would believe to be coming from heaven and are interested in 54 woman like me lol, cmonnn. I do believe that their are profiles created just to get some conversation and credit = $ out of you.
So, beware.

A few months ago, I came across this adult dating website. I created account and I wasn't aware of the fact that they charge on the time of account creation. So, I paid for the subscription and continue using the site.
I used the site for about 3 months and my back account was empty. I recharged my bank account again for the site. As it arose keen addiction in me but soon I left the site because I got busy in my personal life. I am still receiving emails from the site and may be in future I will buy its subscription again.

Most of the woman are being paid by the site for engaging the user. Beware this site should be shut down. Terrible and misleading! Fraud!

The site is a scam. Read up on the "Free members" they hire and what they ask them to do. They basically hire people to scam people out of as much money as possible by encouraging constant messaging, e-mails etc. You write "hi" and after a few odd messages receive a strange story about a dream someone had that takes 10 e-mails to send and that you have to open and boom, your credits are gone. Most messages are computer generated (you see them by the little ")" that pops up in weird places) and the nonsensical texts that these bots write. As soon as they see you looking at a message, more immediately pop up. This is a scam with hired people (all being models and all being doctors, ceo's etc) to trick real people looking for love, do not waste your time or money.

I just subscribe. My first time in meeting sites as this. And payed for 1 month subscription to try this. After getting so many massages from really cute guys that actually looks unreal. And I am now almost sure they are not After only 2 times we chatted. It asked me to add money to each time I want to reply! I'm going to publish it everywhere I can. And ask for lawyer about it. Cause above the money issue I feel very frustrated! And scammed! People whom are so naive and only wants to find love maybe there, are sometimes lonely and they using this weakness in the best way. How can it happen? This is too cruel! Someone needs to make this site shot off.
Dear Monoi
Thank you for your review and your feedback. We are sorry to hear you felt this way.
The membership fee and purchase of credits are two separate payments on the site. Subscription is access to the services + packages of credit. Using a service takes a certain number of credits. When you run out of credits, the site will ask you to top up your profile to continue. For more detailed explanations email [email protected]. We will send you the file about your credit expenditure and advice you on how to use credits efficiently.
If you have any concerns about profiles, you can also send the link and we will check them again for you.
This is a scam. The confirmed, popular people are working for the site ( donot know about all but I dated a guy named 'Adrien' who never wanted to share any personal details after 16 months of dating, though he wanted me to chat with him 24/7. What he wanted is to send letters. Just chat with him any how. He was so in love with me, he was too sensitive I was so stupid to trust him and fell in love with him and i lost more than $50,000 for chat with him in this site( to refil again and again). I sent him my infor with a gift so we can call. He always gave different lies. I was too blind and now I am ashamed of what i did. The site, they did not want to do anything for me as it is not considered as a normal scam. I am so mentally depressed and taking counseling for what happened. Please do not trust people here.(there could be good people too, but be careful) I do not want any other woman/man to suffer like me. Please be care of your self. Use your brain. I know there are official places to complain and do further investigation on this, and i will file a claim when i am confident back with my mentality.

Websites itself is a legitimate scam. I have talk with several members on the site and most of them were 90 percent fake or scammers. I have lost 800 dollars for the first one I chatted and then I suddenly stop communicating with him because I know he wants to scam me and then I search again, same with next person I chatted they were asking for the flight ticket coming back to the US so I block him. Then I search again, the third one ask for itune card. Just imagine all those men I chatted wanted to scam me. Then I dont leave the websites anymore I have to concentrate talking on the websites which is very very expensive. I have chatted with several popular members and all of them doesnt want to live the dating site, they only wan to communicate with me on that site. And I have to concentrate with one guy after 6 mos of communicating with him, it seems like he only wanted me buy a credit all the time so he can earn more money on that dating site. Most popular members on that sites were not scam but they all act like scammers because you have to pay money all the time you wanted to communicate with them. So I totally totally say that this website is house for scammers. And it was dangerous because it blends with real people, scam, and fake profiles. I hope everybody would learn from my experience.

The dating.com is best and highly addicted for online dating. One of the things that really got me interested in this method was how we are seeing so many beautiful women who have to deal with some sort (that I don't think even everyone can handle) of being stuck paying off college loans, leaving behind a loving family and job prospects because of their choices as they grew up! These young people should know what's out there already – or at least try not take those financial decisions until after you've graduated from high school before making them again by taking on credit card debt when it seems impossible… The truth about finance often has us questioning if someone needs help now; these guys need support right awayl
Dear Abdul,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and enthusiasm about Dating.com! We love that our platform sparks meaningful connections, and we hear your concern about the challenges young adults face. While we focus on connecting people, we also encourage responsible financial awareness and support beyond dating. If you ever have questions about navigating our platform or need assistance, our team is happy to help at [email protected]..
I just open up my profile and I was contacted straight away by at least 40 very hadsome men from all over the world. 3 of them kept on trying to video call me even if I did not answer them. All of them were writing cheesy pre-written phrases that only some idiots would believe.
I understood why everyone was trying to write and call me, because in answering them you use very quickly your credit and you need to buy more in order to communicate with them. I guess they get paid to make new customers spending a lot of money on credits.
I wrote to the support customer team, but they were "just sorry" I wanted to cancel my membership.
All the profiles were fake, just stay away!

The top of the list in online adult dating is dating.com because of its legit services and real profiles. Yeah, sometimes they do not give you promo codes and you have to buy the full premium package but believe me they are the best in the market. On other hand there are also so many niche sites that focus on their sub genres such as cuckold, threesome, bisexual.
A lot more than just your average site these days use tags like hotwife or lolicon for them guys since it allows others who join up with him/her to view any photo which includes a description (if he's into porn) where we'll be sharing what does this lady look sexy nude style etc. A great deal of sex content can easily be found at our category called Dating Content by popular search engines while all models wear cute costumes if desired!
Answer: Hi Curtis! Yes! Absolutly all our members are real! We have a special verification team to check all our members are real. We don't have any fake profiles on our platform. If you met any suspicious profile, please contact our CSD team. Best regards, Alex
Answer: Yes, I am a woman, I had been on the dating. Communities website for almost 3 months, I know very well as after they sent the email, I have to pay 10 credit to read each email. Even pictures, photo, video clip. If they are real why after chatting for months we already talking about marriage and still they refused (not one but 4 men from that website) to give real contact, email and wechat ID. In China wechat is very common even 80 years old have wechat. The men on thus site all claimed too old for wechat. That is really wired. Please be careful, those who said good review here, may be also their people. I am one of the victim who lose 5000 USD. I knew better.
Answer: Hi Robert! Absolutly not! All messages are created only by users. To make chat invite you can use Mingle service. Best regards, Alex
Answer: There are real people behind the photos. But they do not look for a real partner. You just pay and chat people under their profiles. Maybe just operators.
Answer: Yeah, I totally agree with you Regina. I tried asking them to keep in touch on Instagram or Facebook, and I did not receive any responses. Moreover, they kept sending me the same messages and emails. I've been wondering whether they are real or not.
Answer: No, you will not! If you use the tokens and do not realize that it's by the minute it goes fast... also, emailing costs more and they must get paid to chat with you! All the men are fake!
Answer: You can not exchange contact details in the dating.com because the person whom your chatting with is a staff of the site pretending to be the person in the picture.
Answer: Dating.com is a bad site at, they specialize in scamming people. They cover scammers. When I give all the evidence to prove Fake membership of the website, but they always give the reasons of being unintentional, irresponsible, wasting time, going around. I spent a lot of money for a member, but they returned me the wrong amount and even said it was their good deed. Here, I am the one who gives money, but I receive all Fake people, don't think you are charitable for others. There are many Fake members in Dating.com. I have proof, proving they're fake. I ask Dating.com to pay me back for the exact amount I spent.
Answer: Hi! We accept debit cards and PayPal. If you have any issues purchasing the service please contact customer support at [email protected]
Answer: More than you could afford! The site is a scam
