Hi friends, I m Ajay form India. I joined cupid last month I paid 350 INR per month by credit card. After that have cheated me by doing automatic billing by themselves. These people are fake and cheaters pls don't go for those sites likes, cupid.com, flirt.com, benaughty.com these people created fake domains by different name so they are making people fools. I felt that almost 90% girls profile are fake and everything by doing this things they have cheated so many guys. I will suggest u all people don't go for these sites all. Think before 1000 times before paying them.
Cupid.com is a garbage scam site, cancelling is intentionally difficult. You select cancel and are told a cancellation code will be emailed within a hour and it's good for 2 days. You receive the cancellation code and it says to log in and you will be asked to enter the code, except they never ask you for the code, and you won't find a place anywhere on the site to enter it either. I am going to contact my credit card company and the better business bureau in the jurisdiction of what is probably their dummy corporate address. I am disappointed Google even lists them in their search results. They should be barred from doing business with their unethical sketchy practices.
I wouldn't recommend the site to anyone and most of the 'emails' you receive are generated from within the company itself. I wouldn't be surprised to find out they are using peoples images attached to those fake emails illegally as well.
If i could give the scabs running cupid.com less than one star and still post i would.
It's really intersesting and easy to find the hot ones.
What a rip cupid.com is they advertise local, signed up 5 days ago....none paying (smart thinking) I have had at least 200 profile checks, winks, and emails from 18... to 38... I am 59 and looking for someone that is my age, ya yes this goes to cupid .com.
I would seriously caution anyone thinking of joining cupid.com.
I believe it is run by a Nigerian scam team first because most of the interest I received came from fictional profiles with overly attractive photos and unbelievable initiating emails stating they live in Brooklyn but are originally from Germany with a Scottish-Irish name and have such professions as architect in some third world country Their incredibly poor English grammar and spelling is also a dead give away. Clearly not written by someone American or European. I quit the site after just a few days. Sent complaints and warnings to the customer service people and got no response. I asked for a refund. No response. I started getting strange emails at my regular email address from such names as Victoria Love stating she wanted to meet a nice man and to please respond and she will send photos. Guess they didn't check to see that my address is that of a woman. Received all sorts of other horrible emails about penis enlargement, find hot Korean women, etc. I never clicked on them in order to try to unsubscribe because I was concerned about having any sort of response so I just deleted them.
The email sent to my regular email address from Victoria Love also made reference to my user name on cupid.com which I found to be suspicious. A month later, I noticed a debit taken from my checking account from a dubious company called "Easy Ed." I closed this debit card and will get a new one. I was also charged two international assessment fees with this Easy Ed charge. I wrote once again to cupid.com because I believed this is where the Easy Ed charge originated. They told me that I never actually cancelled because I didn't go through the full process of cancelling. I told them that their business conduct is unethical. I received an email back from the customer service rep named "Victoria" whose English grammar and spelling is so poor and so closely resembles the writing style of the scammers who were posing as members that I believe this company if not run by scam artists is infiltrated by Nigerian scam artists. I strongly advise all to stay away from this website. I give this site a negative rating but have to click on "1" to submit.
All the complaints you have read so far are true. This "dating" site must be run by Nigerians. It looks innocent enough, but if you sign up for the "cheap" 3 day trial, you must choose between Gold and Platinum. No explanation is given to explain the difference. Also, if you read the fine print, you will find that after your "3 day" trial ends, you will be automatically rolled into monthly billing unless you cancel.
In trying to cancel, you must follow obscure links within the site, and go through more levels of security than your average credit card company. Seriously. You will have to click multiple choice selections, re-enter your password, enter one of the fuzzy security codes, reconfirm that yes, you do indeed want to cancel, choose why you want to cancel and after all that, you find out you get yet another security code that will be emailed to you in 2 hours so you'll have to wait to get that before you can continue. Do not waste one minute on this bogus site!
I'm currently a Cupid.com member. All I have to say is save your money and your time. There are so many Spams. Don't be falling in their traps.
The only way out of the scam is to cancel your debit card>that is how they continue to charge us!!
Cupid.com offers 2 kind of membership plans a Gold and Platinum, but don't specify the differences between the gold and the platinum plan. I emailed the customer service for the differences. They told me that Platinum membership can be used for all the features on the site without any limitations. This still doesn't specify the differences. When people pay to be a member, the info should be written upfront. This a little scam of Cupid.com but not so smart.
Just before Christmas 2009, cupid was taken over by easy date and changed the entire website. The NEW cupid is totally worthless. The customer service is gone, they stole my money and reverted me from a fully PAID Gold member and for no reason made me a basic member, all due to my complaints. I have since filed claims against Cupid and the state AG is investigating cupid bait and switch false advertising. Save yourself the anguish and do not join cupid.com.
