Turns out there are more than one $#*!book. One is totally fake and only full of bots and scams. I think the responses to user comments here on SiteJabber are likely by the real one that actually has members. Didn't actually pay or use either so I can't say specifically what's wrong, just that you likely got totally scammed by clicking a link to something that calls itself $#*!book but in fact is not.
Hi James, and yes thank you for pointing this out. There are many sites out there similar in name to ours, but are different companies.
