Secret Benefits

This site is nothing but a relatively crafty scheme to lure suckers into a credit card data entry form. What's even more annoying is how stupid you'll feel when you realize how easy it was for them to take you for a ride. It seems plausible at first: Chat with some babes and set up a deal for a "secret benefit" Haha Cute. Except none of the pictures are real. If the operators were smart, they would keep the scam going with some phony chat bots. The whole thing is stupid. All around.

Update
They have refunded my payment without argument which was a nice surprise. That doesn't change that their appear to be no actual people in their site so, caveat emptor.

I started using this site pretty recently. It took a while to decide to buy some coins because I am skeptical. Before buying the coins, I was getting attention from different accounts so I thought I would get a read on the site and paid my dues.
I have messaged a number of accounts that had already "liked" me thinking they would be the most likely to respond. No responses but new people were liking my account, trying to separate me from more coins. I suspect the women get a share of the coins for a first message. Bear in mind that each person contacted costs a few dollars for that first message, a few more to see private pictures, etc... it would be better to directly pay for some attention.
The attached pictures show a couple who "Liked" me, though there were more, those I messaged, many of whom had liked me, and my last 10 credits. It takes 10 to do anything and they cost less the 💰 rebyou buy. My 100 credits was $59 or.59/credit. Each first message is almost $6.

SWM, I've used this site off and on for about 4 years with varied results. One of the most annoying things about it; The site automatically sends out messages and likes from dormant female accounts just to get you to spend credits. Now lately they won't take credit or debit cards which I've used for years. They only accept Bitcoin to purchase credits to contact other site members. What a load of crap!

After over 3 years of almost daily use of this site, you begin to notice strange things happening that are not legitimate because there are advanced bots on this site, as well as very good photoshopping. I've received replies that will vaguely answer one question out of 5, or none at all. Also, if photos are sent to you and any of them are the same as what they already in their profile, it's a bot. You will also see photos that are reversed, with a negative image, like the person is in the exact same pose, but the background has moved from the right to the left, and her watch has magically moved from the right arm to the left, as well as the pink bracelet on her other wrist, which is totally an A.I. Deep Fake image. In 3 years, I video chatted with one woman, and she was at a desk with 2 monitors. The chat lasted 6 minutes and a week later I was ghosted when I only wanted letter writing. Also, some received letters will have paragraphs that are repeated, as well as repeated, identical sentences in various profiles. Note the screenshot of the woman in the red dress. The background is reversed, but the woman is in the absolute exact same pose. If you write a negative review on this site, or any other, you will get a reply from them within minutes, asking for your profile name and email, offering you a bonus. If the bait is taken, automatically, your I.P. Address gets permanently banned. It's extremely difficult to tell which profiles are deep fakes unless you know how to detect them, but there's many on this site.

This site could have been legit but there are so many things not right. I have been a member over 3 years now.

1. More than half are fake profile and bots. Either they will respond to you with a short note and then no response back and you just lost your credit for viewing the message. Or you write to someone and 7 out of 10 no response.

2. The profiles recirculate and folks I have seen 3 years ago, would disappear for 6 month and would show up again. Some showed up annually like clockwork. In several years the age remains the same and didn't increase lol.

3. If you get lucky, 8 out of ten just wants to scam you and wants money for meet, uber ride, dinner plan, nails done and then there is no show as you may have sent a good faith fund to help with babysitter or uber ride. 2 would actually be legit and they too have alternate motive but its how to set the expectations.

4. If you report scam, you dont often get your credit back.

I think they hired a 3rd party marketing team to boost membership and at the backend all sort of fake profile and bots are build to generate attraction but you can be sure that you will get seldom response back. I had over 2500 credits and have done extensive engagement and to be honest got maybe 8 connection who were legit out of 100s. There are some legit users there and this is how I now play the game.

I like someone, I request additional photo access. A bot can auto approve photo request. But I look to see if the bot did my page visit and also if they requested the same. 8 out 10 they do not and I know its a fake profile. I also wait to see if I get a message, if not then that confirms my theory as well.

Fake user/bot also sends new message. If they haven't visited your page and you get a message, that to me is a red flag as well.

I also typically wait few days to respond to the message and wait to see user online activity. In most cases they will show last seen 2+ days ago and that is another indicator of fake profile/bot.

I wouldn't time here and it would be cheaper to go to a bar and buy drinks for stranger and make friends. Oh also, this site is branded into other different names and not just SB.

Good luck and save your $$. I spent a lot with not much success. Oh and the positive review you see here, most likely the fake users and bots accounts made it possible. I wonder if anyone filed a complain with BBB and actually audit and investigate the legitimacy of the site... hummmm

UPDATE July 19 - SB contacted me and based on the review in the past, they offered some credit to my ac and asked me to take the review down. I had since purchased over $500 worth credit and had 900 some credit as of last night and today they closed the account. Which is fine but they owe me money-back. This would be another flag on how accurate the feedback is. See email screenshot lol… if I don't get my refund, I am filing a BBB complain. They did say they will refund.so lets see...

UPDATE July 20 - They issued my refund.

I gotta say something about Secret Benefits. I expected to throw my cash away like I have on other dating apps, but 3 real hot dates in a month off this site is awesome for me.

I've been ghosted twice from chicks on this site, but the last one just majorly redeemed herself yesterday. Tbh, I was about done with trying on here, but just like that, I think I just met my match.
Amy and I have found a great arrangement that works for both of us and I'm actually excited. Upward and onward!

I met my beautiful princess on secretbenefits.com 6 months ago, and I asked for her hand recently and she said yes! A heartfelt thanks for helping me meet my match.

Hello. I would like to say that I use Secret Benefits when visiting the US. Sadly, it does not operate in Germany. However it is very effective in the States and what's also nice is you only pay the credits and not by the month.

Imagine a sugar dating site which at first seems ideal with thousands of pretty girl's photos. You use a proven successful advert which for years has gotten you superb responses on other SD sites, add some good photos, and lo and behold you quickly get 1000+ likes, 800 messages in a matter of 2-3 months.! Too good to be true you say?

Well YES (you cannot READ any message at all unless you pay $5.90 EACH. =10 credits)) or take another 'Credits' package, but either way you have no idea if these messages are just 'hi' or something of interest. Then you go to Trust Pilot. There you find that (excepting the obvious fake 5 star planted messages which all sound as fake as they are) the user comments are universally negative. Why is this?

Because it's ALL FAKED, totally. They bought in a bunch of data from white label sugar dating list providers, including photos (all taken of real girls from other sites) got a bunch of monkeys or Chat GPT to write some generic profiles and posted them all up as 'genuine' female advertisers. They're not. They also got a lot of girls to record the phrase 'Let me be Your Secret'> in so-called 'Verification Videos'. More than half of these look NOTHING like the photos, are miserable, at home in no make up and look as bored as they sound. Maybe there are a few dumb females who actually have no idea what's going on with this site and have actually joined up but I doubt it.

This is how the scam works. They place 'women's' adverts, and the system generates a flood of (probably fake useless one line) visits, favourites, and messages and flood your inbox. You think you're lucky this time and PAY to read some messages. They turn out to be useless ion fact they are one line system generated from a script. None will ever mention or bear any relation to your advert as they are not from a person who has read it only a bot. You are told you can reply as many times as you want when you have 'unlocked' a chat but in reality you are communicating with a BOT and the system is set to never reply to your messages unless you run out of credits to make you buy more, but they keep on sending you more 'new' ones so you increase your purchase of 'credits' to read them. It's a SCAM!

Also you will see that once you buy the cheapest 'credits' package it vanishes from the site menu and you can only buy the next higher one every time. This is accomplished but simple fakery designed to make men think that there are real girls out there replying and elicit your cash to speak with them but NO ONE will ever answer and you will NEVER get a date. It is nothing else but total FRAUD.

I found on this site the profile of my current girlfriend (who I met on another real sugar dating site - SA) using her exact same photos taken from there with a different name, location and details. She had NO knowledge of this site at all. This has now been removed.

To Test my FAKE hypothesis I added my phone number onto my profile so ANY GIRL who apparently visited my profile would see this immediately and bypass the site. Normally such a trick would net dozens of calls. NO ONE GIRL HAS EVER USED THIS NUMBER ergo there are no girls reading it.

IN short therefore this is the FAKEST of FAKES a site entirely run as a fruit machine scam with NO Prizes, put money in, get nothing out... This criminal enterprise should be closed down.

GO read the negative 1 and 2 star reviews (the true ones) on Trust Pilot or join free and try this yourself and watch the deluge of fake messages (which you will never be able to read) pour in...

-Fake profiles
-Stolen or Purchased data and photos not live users
-System Generated Closed Responses
- Must buy credits to read the (faked) responses
- NO genuine female users just an illusion
- Misrepresentation of the highest order
- Fruit Machine Credits churn with no possible result
-Financial Scam

I met a fine woman from the secretbenefits.com site last night and she was great!
I didn't expect to meet anyone on this site, so I want to tell others about it now because I normally don't have such luck with online dating.
Thanks,
Flavio

I have been on a few sites like SB and there's not a lot wildly different or that stands out other than the women I have met. By far, I've had more quality dates from this site and that's why I think they deserve a mention and my 5 star rating.

Hi. Just for those wondering about secretbenefits.com, it does work. I was on for about 4 months and met many fine ladies until I met my current gf. Could say was love at first site. I recommend to try if curious to find a good match.

Lots of users and many contacts. All of whom seem to have ADD and so never reply past their initial contact. It's almost as if they're contacting you to get you to spend your credits (it's 10 credits to reply to a message or initiate contact)
My biggest complaint however is that site administrators will edit your profile info if they don't like the tone. They even removed text from my profile because I said I didn't smoke and didn't want to match with those who do.

I gotta Give a shout out to the SB support. Very fast response and it was clear that I was communicating with a real person that understood and sympathized with my situation. This is one of the things that makes a dating website like this one great👏🏻

Total scam. Took my $170 and deleted me the first day for unspecified violations of their rules. When I specifically asked them how I violated they didn't answer and said I would receive a refund in five to ten business days. But they charged my account the same day. And I didn't get my refund so I'm complaining to my credit card company.

I've been using this dating website for several months now and can attest to it being a good service. Secretbenefits is better than others in the space if you are looking for somewhat unconventional dating

I found sb to be a well balanced date site. Modern with many women in my area. Not all respond to my outreach but the ones that do are pleasant and open to meeting and discussing what we both want. Haven't settled one anyone but having fun with the process

I am writing here to say that I have met a real beauty that has captured my heart. I honestly never thought I would meet someone like Rebecca. Pinching myself right now.
How can I take my profile down or hide it is my question now.

This hasn't been my first choice, but 2nd time giving SB a try, and I'm actually meeting women now.
This site is restoring my faith in finding someone special to share my very fortunate life with.
