Scammers
May 24, 2023

All the girls on here are fake. It's just a scam site to make you purchase coins. You can't send messages without buying coins and most of the replies seem to be computer generated. Stay away. Don't sign up.

Game changer!
May 21, 2023

Met loads of amazing attractive women. No munters or time wasters at all. Just copious numbers of frustrated foxes looking for attention and affection. I can't ever see myself getting into a long term relationship with anyone because you can meet several sirens a month on this site. I'm very sore but happy. Give it a go!

Not really it's a con

Having put my profile on idates I was inundated with replies. I contacted a number of these. I am divorcing. I sent many messages to several women who had expressed interest in me. One in particular whom I confided in to a great degree. She explained that she was lonely.Explaining my domestic situation, she sympathised and gave me,what I thought was great understanding and opinion of the way I had been treated. We hit it off,"She" even jokingly mentioned marriage.I became hooked by her replies to me.I truly believed her.We exchanged many messages,but the latter ones,given the information I gave her,did not ring true.Generally messages were not quite proper English.The wording being off.I had become besotted by her. We talked of being together,long term.I don't think she really existed.A complete fabrication. Heart breaking

IDates mostly fake
April 21, 2023

As close as I can tell, IDates is an experiment in AI (artificial intelligence) I just put $200 worth of coins through it, looking for patterns and I found that as soon as you go on line, you will receive about 5 emails from other clients to get you answering the messages. This will cost you 5 coins to start and you can blow through $25 in an hour. I would say that at least 90% of the profiles are computer generated. Something in the program will flag you as a spender and the real people with follow a SOP that has proven in the past to be profitable.
I thought that the people running the site would get someone real to keep an eye on was happening, but they didn't. It is what I call a manufacturer site. You got a couple of computers, a whole pile of profile data, perhaps one person per shift to keep an eye it and that is it. I asked one girl that I spent about $100 in coins on to marry me, just to see if the reaction was human or methodical. It was methodical as when I posed the question, her answer was "oh that is nice hun" so the software got it wrong. I laughed so much because at that point I had convinced myself of my suspicions. Try it yourself. You will use 1/2 of the coins that I did because I have told you where to look. All answers are AI composed and delivered. I watched the software screw things up twice when the pictures and profile data was mixed up with the one beside it. 5 seconds later, the computer realizes its mistake and things are immediately corrected. Need I say more. Only a computer could have done that. These guys are making millions and I doubt that they needed anymore than $10K to start the site off. Unbelievable! A smart bunch of guys! Now I would like to emphasize that I have no specific training on computers and operate at a normal household level. I do not want to be sued for an opinion. You choose to believe it or not.

FAKE SITE
July 20, 2022

VEry obvious that it is a fake site. I got some messages but the length of the message and the time taken for the response did not match. No-one could type their message that fast. Also, the responses received did not answer the questions I asked. Clearly AI and bots behind this.

Brutal
May 31, 2022

Worst dating APP ever - put a profile on there, they want you to buy "coins" to be able to converse with any potential partners - tell them you are running out of coins and give them you e-mail address if they want to converse further and same response from every single one- buy more coins to continue talking with them - I would say every profile or 99% of them are computer generated AI or bots - don't waste your money - have better luck at closing time at a bar!

FRAUD
April 17, 2022

Signed up and nothing but regrets. Nothing but spambots to get you to spend more money. Account deletion has not happened with multiple requests even after six months. Contacted support and only response was for them to respond with this auto response.

Each account has been the same pictures and online 24 hour a day for months. Many are stolen profiles as I have spoken with the actual people on other sites and they did not have an account there and the ones that had were closed off supposedly and no longer in use.

Ticket NR.: **************

On the portal, the vast majority of users are real people who want to meet other people and have fun. They register voluntarily and decide on their own for what purpose they are here.
As you can read in the terms and conditions there are also profiles that are only for entertainment. With these no meeting is possible.
Please note that we have no influence on the behavior of the users. Whether a meeting comes about is up to everyone.

Additionally, however, there are entertainment profiles that are not here because they want to meet new people, but to keep you entertained and for people who just want to chat.

I just installed in a small town of 7,000 inhabitants in Quebec. As soon as I subscribed to iDates, there was dozens of young and sexy ladies waiting for me, showing their nice faces and bodies and doing their best to contact me, even before I posted my face pic! It is indeed too beautiful to be true, completely crazy and definitely unreal for such a small town. So i decided to not fill the card number section as all this was definitely ridiculous and fake.
Also note that there are plenty of fake profiles on LeoList: When a "woman" asks you a payment by transfer or gift card (Steam), then it is DEFINITELY fake.

I Dates scam site
January 23, 2022

This site totally a waste of money and your money only.
The photos of the woman on this site do not match the communication coming from the woman. You think your talking to a well educated professional woman in Brisbane for example but you are talking to some woman of Asian decent or similar that the site has set up to scam you of coins. They slip with up time zones and you will see they come on line later in the night and into the AM hours. Today is good example i asked a question at 8.46pm about how your day was and the the response was i will clean the house today she forgot also that she told me that she cleaned it yesterday. In another case i recieved a message from a woman then within 10 minutes i recieved the same message word for word from another woman. When i questioned them one said something must be wrong with my phone and the another one nasty. Thinking that was the end of them they then 2 days later starting sending me messages again this time about 30 minutes apart. They forget your name constantly and keep repeating the same questions so you will waste another 50 coins answering them. Another thing i noticed was there seems to be a lot of woman in cars driving on the LHS now yes some maybe on holidays but i doubt it. Check the back ground in the photos as well. There maybe some real woman on this site but its going to cost you a lot of your money to find the real ones. If you do not respond to the woman they get negative and snappy in there response messages coming back to you. If do try this site ask questions quickly and see what response you get
And then hopefully you will quickly realize you have a fake one. Save your money hello's and go to another site that's cheaper and the woman are real. DO NOT GO ON TO THIS SITE ITS FAKE

A waste of money
December 8, 2021

Whether you wait 1 month or 6 months, I have met no one. They reply quickly whenever you send them a message, but you ask them if they would like to meet, they just say that they are too busy, want to take it slow, or not ready. And costing $2.50NZD per message, it adds up quickly and is a total ripoff!
