GBAbsolute scam Absolute scam. Signed up from Europe with strict search criteria. On sign-up, said I had 18 matches. I activated paid subscription to see the matches - Uganda, Kenya, Cambodia, and all sorts of random fake profiles. I strongly advise against anyone every getting a paid subscription on this site -- complete waste of money, unless you like to be spammed.

GBAn example of one of their scams Example of one of their scams: If you're paying $45 for a month, you can see everyone that Likes you. If 40 people liked you and you weren't interested, you can say "Not interested" and they get deleted as listed Likes. If you STOP paying your subscription, you can no longer see your Likes listed. So, to take advantage of you not being able to see who likes you, they take those 40 people and put them back in your Likes list and then to add insult to injury they start putting non-USA Likes in the list. Do you want to see who those 40+ Likes are from, that just popped up in your Likes folder? You can, if you AGAIN pay them $45 a month or $135 for 6 months. And once you do, you find out that they're the 40 people you had already deleted from the list. They used to provide a useful and informative service, they're now just gaming their clients to drain them of their cash.

GBReported a bug, got banned I wasn't able to finish setting up my account due to a bug. I got in touch with customer support, took a week to hear back. Thought I would try create another account on a different email address as a workaround, and they decided that meant I would be banned from using their services. I appealed this decision but it was denied. Feels like a waste of my time and like I've done something wrong for trying to be helpful and find a solution to my own problem.

GBI received a number of "likes" whilst… I received a number of "likes" whilst not paying. Like a chump I then paid a subscription to see who these might be from and discovered that none were even on my continent let alone my country. Once paying, I didn't receive any further attention at all for the duration of my subscription. I am not complaining about the latter state of affairs ...I can't blame the site for my not being found attractive, and I should have been suspicious, I now realise, at having apparently provoked such interest in the first place; however, the obvious scam being carried out to goad users into paying is unforgivable. I am sure that this site is not alone in doing this, and I really think all people -whatever gender or orientation- should boycott these exploitative money pits.

GBDistance flaw My distance is limited to 50 miles (Dealbreaker) yet "Likes" is packed with profiles from thousands of miles away and my email's inbox is rapidy filling with these. Pressing "Nearby" in the app doesn't filter these out either. I contacted support and I quote "we don’t have a way to filter by state or national borders" and "be aware that Dealbreakers will allow you to change your view but people from around the world can still like your profile". Not good. However I contacted support within 12 hours of starting my subscription and got a refund.
