Contacted by scammers

By Janet, Sloatsburg, NY, Verified Reviewer

Hello. I was only on Zoosk for a short time, but boy-oh-boy, did I have a horrific experience.

I met this one person who said he was someone else and he was like "Oh, I love you, etc..." Very strange. He wanted me to send him $900 to Africa because he was "working there" and ran out of money. I reported this individual to the police, but I feel bad for people who fall for this. I felt like a piece of "meat" on their carousel! Disgusting.

Then I met this other man with many, many issues. This is a dangerous site, as it exposes women to many strange individuals, and it can also be a dangerous site if a person does not use good judgment! Stay AWAY.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This site is a scam

By Ev , London

I hate it. You pay, but cant view or speak to people unless you buy coins, despite paying a huge subscription. I canceled the next day but can't contact anyone physically for a refund.

SCAM!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Feel like an idiot.

By Jeff Martin, Tijeras, NM, Verified Reviewer

I sent a nice girl a "smile," unaware of the auto reply feature. Anyway, she supposedly messaged back, so I took a chance and paid the $30 only to find out it was an auto reply. Even if I knew about auto replies before hand, I couldn't tell if it was a real message or not without paying a fee. I got suckered for being new and learned from it, but this site just sucks.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Disappointed. Scam maybe?

By WowWowWilly, Florida, Verified Reviewer

After four months of service and over a hundred monologues, only three responses and one not acceptable. WHEN someone actually wants to meet you, their message gets lost conveniently with no way to respond and answer. This is a foolish, wasted site of your time and money. Go to a reputable site like Eharmony or P.O.F. maybe.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Be wary, they’ll take your money and will not refund

By Ken Auld, Texas, Verified Reviewer

I only had Zoosk for less than an hour. I didn’t like it and wanted a refund of the $74.90 they charged me. They offered me a 50% refund instead. They are out to steal your money. They don’t mention that you have to pay for six months in advance; they just give you the monthly price. Be very wary; it’s a scam!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

What a crappy site

By Doug Allan, Buckeye, AZ, Verified Reviewer

It tells you that all these people want to chat with you, want to meet you, and all of that is a bunch of B.S. Many of the women (since I'm into women, I don't know about the men) have photos of themselves that are ten years or more older. The body type of some of them is SO not right that you wonder what mirror are they looking into.

I don't mind taking my chances, but at least don't lie to me telling you that all these women want to meet you.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Complete waste of time and money.

By Randy Sikes, Hilliard, FL, Verified Reviewer

I got on the site for free for 2-3 weeks before subscribing. In that time I received several messages and notifications about people wanting to meet me. While searching on the site, 2 out of every 3 ladies were just beautiful. I finally decided to subscribe and responded to the women I was interested in. I never got a response. They sent the first message so why not one after I sent one? And now when I search I literally swipe through 75 pictures before I find one I’m even interested in enough to stop and read the profile. Do not waste your money!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Scam

By Norberto S., Mississippi, Verified Reviewer

No one writes back; they are paid by the company or are fictitious characters. Do no waste your money. Scam. There are other ways to meet people. This is another way to make someone rich.

Agree with negative rewiews

By D , Canada

I think Zoosk has really poor value and I found that most of the users were out of immediate area. Zoosk has a poor ability to filter. I think it's basically just a marketing scam hooked into Facebook to make it appealing and easy to use. However, that doesn't mean it's useful.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Don't waste your money

By Rod Hatfull, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Verified Reviewer

This has to be the worst dating site I have ever been on! I would say that unfortunately there are no regulations on these online dating sites on how they can scam and get away with ripping the public off.

I can definitely say that Zoosk had a lot of phony member profiles that turned out to be just a way to lure you in.

I signed up but wanted to check the site out first before paying money to communicate with others. I got many phony email messages saying interested members liked me and wanted to chat. So I signed up for only a month luckily, and replied to all emails and not one reply. Coincidence? I don't think because as my account was ready to lapse because I didn't want to renew, I got hit with a bunch more emails and some from the same earlier ones saying they wanted to meet. These emails were all scripted and sounded the same with bad writing skills!

I think the reviews are fully a scam also where it said Zoosk was one of the best with 4 out of 5 stars! Don't waste your money honestly. You would be better off with plenty of fish where at least you get responses!

No government legislation on these sites means they can scam your money with phony memberships. I don't know how they get away with it!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
