I think you are all correct in your estimation of Sex Search. It is very similar to Bang Match in that you get responses before you even put up a pic.
Here's how it works. Like you say, you get responses for even lame profiles. Very seductive and close by. BUT, when you ask for their number (they obviously want a hook up) they go silent, or only barely respond to your question, without leaving a number.
Interestingly enough, I've been watching the time stamps on the responses, They typically bunch together around the same time. Some were just two minutes apart. Strangely enough, the time stamps on the e-mails put them at 6:30AM EST, just about the time for those two girls in Florida to get up and continue their scam. However, I am in california, and it's 3:30AM. Isn't it amazing how all the "girls" who want me are all up in the middle of the night, haunting sex sites? I mean, I want to hook up, but at 3:30AM? Conclusion? BOGUS! (once or twice, ok, every night at about the same time?)
Also, have noticed quite a few hookers advertising, pretty blantantly.
Another couple of observations:
1. I have recognized several of the "girls" from amature porn site pics.
2. They are getting sloppy with their autogenerated profiles, it even says (autogenerated text here) when there is no "option" on their site to auto generate text for your profile. Means they have developed some internal tools to generate bogus profiles.
I was interested in them, due to AFF's hard bitten, and jaded ladies. Man, what a bunch of *censored*. So this looked new and fresh, and LOTS of affiliates too. What could go wrong? DUH!
Save your money, chalk it up to experience and move on. That's what they are expecting, although I'd love to corner these two *censored*es driving this site and humiliate them, if that's possible.
Several anti-spam lawsuits against these jokers is in the works. Google "sexsearch fraud" and you'll get a few links.
Good luck.
