After setting up a basic profile I started to receive messages from various girls, you can only see the first few words of the message as you need to pay to read the rest. The words I could see were nice pic or nice profile yet I hadn't added a pic and only one person had viewed my profile and hadn't messaged. All they want you to do is pay and I'm pretty sure once I did all the random messages would stop. My advice is if you want to meet pinay is to go there for a few weeks. I've been living there on and off since 2008.
80 to 90 percent of them are on there for money. And alot of them are scammers. Your personal messages are read by employees working for Filipino Cupid. There are also lots of underage on there looking for money to pay there education expenses. The 10 to 15 percent want marriage and lots of children.

Hi Ken,
Congratulations on your marriage. We would love to hear your story. Please email us your story with a photo to lovestories@cupid, media.com
Having joined Phillipino Cupid and searched Pino Love and Christian Phillipino., I must say that there are possibilities but it is important that you practice using the websites and gain some understanding of their limitations before you sign up and if you do sign up only do it for 1 month and do not pay by credit card pay by bank transfer. There is still an awful lot of work to do researching and learning to seperate the good from the bad. Photographs from over 10 years or more are often used, nevermind the dreadful selfies that distort a pretty face. For those men that are after a relationship as opposed a hookups, the big question is can they speak English fluently? There a lot of scammers and the websites dont seem to remove them. To prevent wasting a lot of time I suggest the following
1/. Only review profiles with more than 2 photographs. 2/. Ignore profiles with no descriptions as this helps identifying English ability and reducing some fake profiles. 3/. Do not send interest or likes only send messages as this eliminates more scammers. 4/. Get your lady on video cam asap to see if they are real, be very polite about this as many women have been pressured for webcam sex and may think that this is what you want!
5/. Any request for money help etc dump her immediately unless it is a very very small amount for phone or internet. If you do your research and engage your critical thinking I think it may well be worth it but remember that even after you pay your membership that is only the start of the process, you still have to do a lot of work. Regarding the 3 dating sites that I have mentioned I feel that Christian Phillipino maybe the best as it seems to have less scammers on it but it is a lot more expensive. I suppose that it is the old adage "you get what you for". Anyway goodluck and bear in mind that many other seemingly independant reviews are actually being paid if you click on their referal link. Regarding this I do not receive any benefit for this review. Chas A
This site used to have real people several years ago but it is false advertisement because although they purport to have millions of people online, many of these users are no longer using the service and they left the site years ago, but the platform does not delete their profiles thus giving the impression that there are millions of people when there are not. Once you are in the Philippines and living in a particular City the scamming is really heightened because although people say they live in a certain location, once they find out you are actually in the same city they stopped communicating because, the gig is up as we'd like to stay in the US. I regret that I cannot suggest a different profile page or a different dating site but what I can say is that around 80% of the profiles on here are totally fake and replete with ladyboys

Never mind if there are fake accounts or not. The real issue is how poorly the site is run. They don't answer their messages. Images do not match the appropriate thumbnails. Profiles updates are slow or never happen. Deleted images still show in profile. Clicking thumbnail displays different images. So many issues and problem. But worse, trying to get those issues solved is impossible since Cupid does not reply to your messages.
Hi Jack,

The heck. So I am a female and I was being honest all the way that I am helping my Sister out to find her partner. Maybe it is not allowed, but hey we are not scammers at all! And we were purely honest. We are not fake!
But there was one Caucasian who lives in other State who saw the profile and was like a hungry volture who told me that his Son is near me and would like to meet me asap! Wtf¡ i just created a profile and still trying to figure out things there but how can you do that when after uploading photos there were hundreds of men messaging, sending smiles and so on?! I was so nice and being educated on my responses towards him and very honest. Guess what, he was so upset he cannot get what he wanted right away that he reported me and my account was terminated. Will you meet a guy like that who thinks I am an item being sold and he wanted to grab just few minutes after being posted?! Why my profile was terminated just like that without proper explanation from the dating site team? Where is the justice there? Nothing from this so called dating site! No protection for females either!

FULL of scammers. I just lost $2000 to a very sophisticated scammer. You think you can pick them but there are some very sneaky hustlers on here. Even ones that prove their identity. You might get lucky with some but stay away from the pretty girls. They do this for a living.

I could not believe the number of scammers on this site. I did meet one very beautiful young girl and dated her for a few months. But the whole thing is 98% a waste of time. So many phony profiles and scam artists. This is the scammiest such site I've encountered. But it does have good selection tools so you can find exactly what you're looking for if you're willing to spend lots of time at it and keep a healthy cynical attitude

I was a paid member, they changed my birth date and didn't allow me to correct it unless I send them a copy of my passport, driver license or national I.D. (When I signed up, there was not such a requirement). There are a lot of girls that they contact you and want to sell their nude pictures, offer an online sex show or beg for money. Most of the pictures you see are many years old and when you see the women online they don't look like their pictures at all.
Had a real bad experience with this company. Even one star is too much!
Hi Noname,
We apologize for the unwelcoming experience. In our attempt to ensure the genuineness of profiles on FilipinoCupid.com, we ask that all members verify their identity by providing us a copy of an identification document. The process includes verification of details such as name, gender, date of birth and photo and is an important part of the profile creation process because it reduces the likelihood of non-genuine profiles on the site. Please contact us at www.filipinocupid.com/en/help/helpdesk if you have any further concerns.
I really don't know why this site don't care about their members. They only care about you if you upgrade your account. They terminated my account for no reason, and when I e-mailed them about it they didn't respond. I feel so violated. Trash system! I heard about the company in Ph that using fake accounts to scam foreigners.
Hi First,

Most of the profiles who contacted me in 4 days are either fake or scams.
I start the conversation stating exactly that and they stop communicating... Is the a trustworthy international dating website?

Lots of the people are not replying. And when they reply, they will start asking you stuffs first before they start to threaten to block you off.
Not to mention that you can't do anything unless you pay. No, they don't even give you a 5 minute trial to be able to do stuffs.
Hi Chen,
As a standard member, you can still enjoy numerous benefits such as sending interest to other members and communicating with paid members. To access exclusive features such as messaging all members, you can upgrade to a Gold or Platinum membership. Please contact www.filipinocupid.com/en/help/helpdesk if you have any further concerns.
A platinum member said so bad to me so i get mad. This website suspended me but ignored what ever the man said against me. Probably because the man is a paying member and i am just a free member. I emailed them but this website doesnt care at all. So i requested them to permanently delete my profile. And they did because they doesnt care. I dont recommend that you guys join this site.
Hi Anne,

This site is not about only to find special someone because you can also find friend from this site. But sometime theres so many rude guy who invite sex with someone
This site isn't a scam but ideally you need to be in the Philippines to use it.
Over the last few months, I've noticed a drop off in the quality of women and response rate. In addition many women who meet up try to run game on you or scam you for food or money. A lot more slumdogs are prevalent.
This isn't to say that you still can't find sex or meaningful relationships on the site but FC has declined for sure unless you know what you are doing.
This site, while offering some real profiles, is primarily made up of fake profiles. Of the 15 women I 'talked' with, only ONE, that's right ONE was real.
Most of the information is fake, the photos are fake and once you respond to a person the scam begins. It can be a family crisis, or using a specific travel agency, or some other means to separate you from your money.
Spread the word that this site is a rip-off

I have used it a number of times with some result. However, I just got the same result with Date in Asia which is totally free and with a better and simpler user interface. Filipino Cupid is a nuisance by being pushy and greedy. They have built in scams like automatic membership renewal which is a trick to suck your money from the credit card without asking for permission. If you forget to opt out they will suck your money for months even if you never log in. I think is a borderline legal practice that by itself make the site not trust worthy. Is also full of scammer members that try to make money in various ways
For convenience, we automatically renew your membership shortly before it expires so you can continue to use your premium membership without interruption.

I upgraded my membership to GOLD on 15th May 2018 for one month and paid 29.98 Euro. On 20th May 2018, I opened the site and see that I am NO longer to send messages nor I am able to read the messages. I wrote several emails, and they do NOT reply. Yes, I was getting many messages from the girls, and I think they think I will pay again to read those messages. This is totally spam site.

Found out that a individual used my girlfriends photos for a fake listing on both Filipino Cupid and Asian Dating. I contacted the website company to ask them to remove these listings and/or have this individual who run also additional profiles in order to generate money because, she is actually married. The website company has done nothing to remove the listings that has my girlfriends photos so, therefore I will now warn everybody for listings from Bacolod, Negros Occidental, Philippines
