Adult Dating - Biggest Scam Going

Posted February 26 2007 by webmaster

I hate to say it but Adult dating sites are some of the biggest scam operations out there. Sure there is some legit ones of the bunch but lets take a random look at some Terms & Conditions on these adult dating sites….

E. This Service is for Amusement Purposes.

1. You understand and accept that our site, while built in the form of a personals service, is an entertainment service. All profiles are provided for the amusement and entertainment of our members and our users. You are not guaranteed that you will find a date, a companion, or an activity partner, or that you will meet any of our members in person.

2. Online CupidTM Communications: You understand, acknowledge, and agree that some of the user profiles posted on this site may be fictitious, and are associated with to our “Online CupidsTM”, (”OC”). Our OC’s work for the site in an effort to stimulate conversation with users, in order to encourage further and broader participation in all of our site’s services, including the posting of additional information and/or pictures to the users’ profiles. The OC’s also serve to proactively monitor user activities and communications to ensure compliance with our Terms and Conditions. You understand, acknowledge, and agree that the information, text, and pictures continued in the OC’s profiles do not pertain to any actual person, but are included for entertainment purposes only. Nothing contained in any OC profile is intended to describe or resemble any real person - living or dead. Any similarity between OC user profile descriptions and any person is purely coincidental. Please also note that a single OC may be associated with more than one (1) profile on our site.

You further understand, acknowledge, and agree that, from time-to-time, OC’s may contact both free users and paid users via computer-generated Instant Messages or emails for purposes of encouraging further or broader participation in our site’s services and/or to monitor user activity. These messages may be transmitted to multiple recipients at the same or similar time(s). Messages from OC’s will contain the uniform designation “OC” to notify the user that a message has been received from an Online Cupid. In the event the user responds to an OC message, either via email or Instant Message, the user may receive one or more additional personal or form responses from the OC. You understand, acknowledge, and agree that no physical meeting will ever take place between you and our OC’s, and that the exchange of messages between you and an OC is for entertainment purposes, as well as to encourage further or broader participation in our site’s services and/or to monitor user activities. Notwithstanding the above, the user is not guaranteed a response to any message sent to an OC (or another user).

We reserve the right to utilize OC’s in connection with other features of our site, either now existing, or to be developed in the future (E.g.: Hotlists, Friend Invites, etc.). You understand, acknowledge, and agree that any involvement or communication with OC’s shall be subject to the conditions, limitations, and acknowledgements contained in this Section and elsewhere in this Agreement.

Nothing contained in this Section shall create any right to, or expectation of, interaction between users and OC’s. Any question regarding OC participation on our site should be directed to our Customer Service Department.

3. You understand and accept that when you attempt to contact other users, these users may find amusement in your profile or communications. You understand and accept that no communications between you and other users is private, even if the Member profile to which you respond is created by us. You hereby release us and all other Members from any liability for invasion of privacy, defamation, false light, and related torts, in the event that your communications or profile are made public - even if they are made public for the sole purpose of amusing others at your expense.

I dont think I need to say much more.. There terms and conditions just tell you up front that you will be contacted by FAKE or AUTOMATED user replies. hahah

I am guessing its only a matter of time before the government takes a harder look at these adult companies who send fake im’s, fake profiles and take action against them. Might be a year or two or more but the party will end one of these days.

In defense of dating sites, spammers tend to run rampant on them trying to sell them cams or other dating sites so SOME of the email spam dating members get on dating sites is NOT from the site owner but truly just spammers trying to sell them something.

But that is TOTALLY different than the adult dating sites that send you 15 messages (from hot looking chicks who happen to be local) within a few hours after you sign up (or after your memebership expires) EVEN IF you create a profile that has nothing more than “adasdadas asdasda” and no picture. IMO that is blatant fraud and misrepresentation no matter what you have in your terms.

Please also note, I am not singling out ANY single adult dating site and the above are just my opinions from joining with sample profiles on various adult dating services. Carry on…
