Hello everyone. I'm a respectful person therefore, I will continue to be respectful as much as possible concerning Interpals.net. I went back onto the site after being off of it for a while. What a HUGE MISTAKE. For a long time, I was in communication with someone on a different platform and they turned out to be a fraud/catfish. This went on for a long time until I said, "Enough is Enough!" No more was I willing to continue talking with someone that never wanted to come on video call and show their face; no way. I did that for a long time with the person because I understand that there are many reasons as to why someone won't show their face on camera and therefore, I tried to give the person the benefit of the doubt and just let it be but finally I asked if they would just message me from their actual, real Instagram account because in that way, I would know they were indeed who they had claimed to be and I knew which Instagram account it would have been coming from. No matter if many people make fake accounts of other people, I already knew that real, legit account to receive the message from - But no. They still Refused to even do that. Tell me something? Why would you not want to come on the camera or prove who you are at all if I found you from a Dating App in the first place, with your picture profile on it?

So, I know the above is a long rant-like speech, but I just wanted to point out that this is why I went back onto the Interpals website. I "knew", I was going to get away from the fake person. But lo and behold, I went back on Interpals and guess what? The same person's picture was up there; several pictures of the person was up along with hundreds of the same pictures of scammers. The reason I know this is because I saw mostly all of the same exact photos on Interpals that I saw on the FAKE Dating app.

I brought this issue up with Interpals. I cannot tell you how many times I emailed them; both from the site directly and from my own email account. You know what? I received NO MESSAGE BACK at all. NONE. But when a guy on Interpals was being fake and I reported him, he had me "flagged" for Harrassment!
Seriously? And then Interpals immediately informed me that if I was reported again that my account would be banned! What a Joke. I was already in the process of Deleting my account before any of the crap happened but when I tried to delete it, it kept telling me that I had to wait for 7 days before my account could be deleted to keep fake people or thiefs or something from entering the platform?

Whoever reads this long message, please know that unfortunately, Interpals along with a lot of other PenPal Sites are now a SCAMMER'S Paradise, it seems. ---- What a Sick Sick Shame.

Tip for consumers:
PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE

First of all, I saw an article somewhere that said perhaps you could find a potential date on a penpal site. The first time I was signed up with this site, I tried doing just that. I had no problem with any administrator telling me otherwise. I was looking for a "potential" date but I wanted to make some friends. I know it's not a dating site but I didn't think I was doing any harm by putting the word "date" in my profile. What I came across was several, and I mean SEVERAL fake profiles of people that I had seen on other dating apps, so I knew they were all fake. I believe I complained to the company about this and of course, they did nothing. ----- Now, the second time I signed up, I guess I must have put the word date again because this time, they just went ahead and removed my entire profile without even telling me. Unbelievable. It would have been nice to inform me first before doing so, so that I could have just removed the word date. They didn't have to remove my profile like that but oh well, guess what? They're not hurting me by doing so. They just did me a FAVOR because I just read other reviews about how other people have also come across several fake scammers on that site as well. ---- Very very nasty behavior of the site administrators. ---- Oh, and the only reason I went back on this site in the first place was because I thought that maybe it would be different this time. I guess I was wrong. Never again would I even want to use this site; even if they asked me to come back on it. Obviously, they were not professional. Period.
