I get emails, open them immediately. Click on my new match, "Jess C., or Philip C.", and the "Profile not found" message. I opened the email 2 seconds after receiving it, and the profile is already gone. This happens about 9 out of 10 "matches", or "messages" I get. Less than 10 seconds, and the profiles are gone(empty links'). It took me longer to actually delete my profile, than it did to respond to these emails. These emails behave exactly like a phishing email. They get you to click on a link, an empty link, but nonetheless. Very suspicious behavior for a website(or the best security ever). The ridiculous names used in some of these profiles are obviously written by people who lack in English comprehension. Your search area is for a certain radius, and you get matches from 30 miles outside of it. The only interaction I had, was with a lady 50 miles away, who wanted 2X as much as I was looking to pay, but not one person from my area. My sister did find a place using it but, I don't feel it is a trustworthy site. Enter at your own risk.
