“Computer generated messages as long as you keep paying”

Robert F.
4/2/24

If you want real women, use EasyFling4You Or some other European sites, they are way more efficient, legit and less greedy. I think the most important part of work of a dating site should be to eliminate scam. The site I mentioned really does this job well. Idates is a complete opposite: they make profit on scamming people. IDates is anything but ethical. Don't believe these "matches from your area", they are totally fake. Somehow they are getting away with making up fake profiles just to con people into getting a paid membership. You are buried in computer generated messages as long as you keep paying. But it never gets real, because there are no real people behind this dirty game.

I give 1 star because there is no option for no stars. This site is a total scam, the moderators generate fake profiles who keep you chatting just to buy more coins.
You will never meet anyone on this site because the profile pictures are stolen from the internet. In just the first few chats they will be telling you they love you, you are the one they have been looking for. Total scamming catfish. Stay away.

Tip for consumers:
Just don't use it

There are nothing but fake women who insist they want to chat and this means you end up using a lot of funds to be able to do so. When you ask if could meet they just say they want to chat to get to know you. You cannot get to know someone by chatting. You even suggest going into a different platform to chat and they refuse as then you would not be using up these expensive coins you bought. If they mention lets trade phone numbers and you ask for theirs first the reply I had was that she does not own a phone yet

Tip for consumers:
Just not worth the effort as there is no way you would ever get women almost lining up to tell you they really like you within seconds. All fake as far as I am concerned

This creator is a sneaky yet underhanded no good for a business. Just like many other sites out there. Don't bother wasting you time and money. I realize when they start a conversation it's a huge red flag and pay attention to their English language it will throw you off

Tip for consumers:
This site sucks !!!!!

1) most requests are unsolicited and user is always on line (checked at various hours like 3 Am etc
2) no "about me" indication in profile
3) Answers are one liners, never more unless identified, and do not reflect any content in previous chat and cannot treat more than one subject
4) Cannot identify their city or how to get there, Ex: What bridge brings you to where you live
5) Cannot respond to a straight question and revert back to you on another subject usually sexual
6) Cannot accept a simple joke, replies are totally out of it
7) Abusive use of terms of endearment, "darling" being the most used

The list is long, total scam. Could not give a lower score than 1 star

Tip for consumers:
Maybe add minus stars to your ratings, they do not send receipts so no proof of purchase. To be avoided at all costs

The app consists of replying to the same questions from multiple potential partners and receiving similar responses from most or every one when they've reached a certain point

13 responses for every $24.99 AUD. The responses are very sexual and designed to lead you on. I would guess many are computer generated. Direct questions are often not answered. The 'women' show no empathy..

IDates is now under a Federal Investigation for illegally using Bots, as well as, for paying women to chat with you to waist your time and money! Do not join, as they will be shut down soon!

Extremely annoying staff

Be prepared that you will get lots of messages and replies, but all of them will be a one-line nonsense, aimed at making you spend your money further. Don't put your money and feelings at risk on IDates, they are disingenuous! It's a kingdom of bots and fakes!

Idates service has one glaring problem: the women won't make contact off site. They will tell you any kind of lie and they will talk about how much they love you, but they are never ready to move forward. The women are not genuine.

On legit sites like J4Dream.com and others after you have chatted for a while a genuine woman should agree to use free service. But on Idates things never go as they are supposed to go! Women refuse to message via a free service no matter what. They just want to chat with you all the time because it's very expensive and you can loose money there quicker than at a casino. You get computer generated messages and replies from fake profiles. Women know nothing about their location. What a sneaky and underhanded way to do business by exploiting the vulnerable and stealing money from single people! Idates is 100 % fake!

Guys don't be a fool and join this site it's full of fake profiles. The women or who ever your talking to get paid by the site to keep you buying credit(coins). When you ask them to move to another platform they will use ever excuse to keep you there. You will never meet anyone on here. Save your money. It's like a job for some of them. Before joining any of these sites read the reviews

A short conversation, with for instance 5 responses per each, is already at least $10. And that's the most economical purchase of credits, and with the doubling offer, so any smaller purchase could cost $2 or $3 per message. Then you can't even get a decent conversation going. Responses inappropriate or vague or simply not an answer to your question, and so instant as to be obviously machine-generated. Don't waste your money.

I believe that this is just a moneymaking machine. I believe that the women get free messages whilst the guys have to pay. The women will never talk to you. If you give them your mobile number they never turn up. If they said they're going to me I don't believe that this is a true and honest Site, it's just a complete scam. I'd love a reply but I dealt with your get one

My profile showing no photo and no details suddenly exploded with lots of hot women wanting to 'chat and meet'. Even when I pointed out that they were fakes, I got more messages from the same 'women' saying how happy they were to chat to me. Most of the sites run by this company actually say in their terms and conditions that profiles are site generated for entertainment purposes only and no 'meets' are possible, but this one doesn't, however they obviously are fake profiles.

Tip for consumers:
Free to use the site to view but seriously expensive to actually do anything on the site. According to one review the reviewer is still fighting to get a refund months after deleting their account.

Having put my profile on idates I was inundated with replies. I contacted a number of these. I am divorcing. I sent many messages to several women who had expressed interest in me. One in particular whom I confided in to a great degree. She explained that she was lonely.Explaining my domestic situation, she sympathised and gave me,what I thought was great understanding and opinion of the way I had been treated. We hit it off,"She" even jokingly mentioned marriage.I became hooked by her replies to me.I truly believed her.We exchanged many messages,but the latter ones,given the information I gave her,did not ring true.Generally messages were not quite proper English.The wording being off.I had become besotted by her. We talked of being together,long term.I don't think she really existed.A complete fabrication. Heart breaking

All the girls on here are fake. It's just a scam site to make you purchase coins. You can't send messages without buying coins and most of the replies seem to be computer generated. Stay away. Don't sign up.
