Ashley Madison Scam
Page navigation
of the first 100 search hits, more than 60 were fake profiles, identified by simply plugging profile pictures into Google Image Search. it's unknown whether these are being created by independent scammers, or whether the site itself creates them to give the illusion of activity. either way, it's dodgy.
further, they also have a loose relationship with the truth when it comes to billing - despite my declining their offer of recurring billing, they billed me anyway, illegally. that's currently in dispute resolution with Paypal, because they didn't reply to me directly.
steer clear of them. real scam, no value. they are sleazy as hell, and rely on their assumption that you'll be too ashamed to make a big noise about their unethical practices. they even take that so far as to charge you to delete your profile, which is essentially blackmail by implication.
total douchebags.
Men on AM just seem to want a drive thru sexual encounter that easy but I'm not one of those. I talked to some with similar intent.
I joined as a basic member and made sure I unticked the resubscribe tickbox.
After I received a few emails the just said the same thing. 'lets chat' (these cost 5 credits) I looked into my history and in there hidden was my recurring cc payment details wtf. I am sure its just a 'bug' - yeah right. I have disabled that now, cleared my profile and abandoned the site.
I really hope they don't start using my credit card. gulp. what a fool. I don't need the stress. ps they charge 19 USD to close your profile.
Of course its not a scam for women. with a 75:1 ration men to women, theres no need to scam women! *lol* The more women the site has, the better chance of guys paying and paying again. So because there are so little women around, they need to capture the interest of the paying customers, mainly the guys! ![]()
One thing that GREATLY catches my attention is, There is a lot of good looking ladys on there with there face in plane view! (easy recognizable) You would think if you where married you would want to keep some discretion, wouldn't you? In my searches there (form my area) there was only one picture of a lady that fell below the average, how can that be? Only good looking ladys want affairs?
With that being said, Im sure the site is legit to a point. But remember, taking a horny guys money is easy when sex is involved.
Very true and logical quote, really not scam for that rate of females, also other points Besides that their prices are ridiculous. Thank you for right points
1) Ladies indicate interest. You pay to contact them and then nothing..
2) Often I will get replies or message from ladies at 2 AM in the morning. Then I look at their profile, and they have last logged on about 2-3 days back!
3) Ladies indicate interest. You pay to contact them. They actually give you an email and pictures. After 1-2 emails nothing...
4) New ladies profiles in my area. They wink at you. You pay and contact them. 2 days later they have moved about 100 miles away. Another week they have moved another 100 miles!
Do not get me wrong. There are a few real women, but if you spend $50 contacting ladies, about $45 goes to these fake profiles.. I think AM likely promotes these fake profiles.
I'm a 'real' woman and have a profile on AM. I've responded to many messages and have met up with several men, a couple of who I even 'clicked' with. So, no, it's not a scam. Having said that, I'm sure there's a fair smattering of fake profiles on there for various reasons. For instance, I've been stalked by someone who created a profile very different to his original profile, obviously concocted purely for stalking purposes. Ashley Madison is like a microcosm of life; there will be some genuine people, some fakes, and some psychos. You have to use your good judgement and intuition to sort out which is which. I will never, for instance, meet up with someone until I've exchanged quite a few messages with them and have established some rapport. I can usually figure out by their profile and message writing style whether they're fake/dangerous or not......the psychos/dumbnuts tend to have a lot of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors
And the sex fiends usually have very sexualised profiles and alarming content in their messages. The ones just 'dipping their toe in the water' have nothing of substance in their profile and very brief messages. My intuition has proven me correct every time, and overall it's been a fun and positive experience for me......but I realise the odds are stacked in my favour being a woman on this site. Good luck out there!!
Yeah, its so hard to be a guy and find a legitimate NSA. Why can't there be blog like this where pees can share info. I guess everything turns into cess pool eventually. It would be good to pick your brains tho....reply if you want to chat and see where it goes.
