Not sure how they did it, but I know about the post leading you to sign up on another site. I've only had one response so far (out of a hundred friend requests and responses to their inquiries to me) and that was on Ashley Madison.
Well the only thing I could say to your question are the only way I can respond is... When I was a paying member I made several inquiries to persons on the site that I was interested in and got no response until my membership ran out then all of a sudden I'm getting people ask me a where are you beautiful where are you gorgeous where are you sexy I want to talk to you how come you don't answer etc. etc... So it may very well be just an organized ploy to get unsuspecting guys to empty there wallet into theor bank
Yeah that's the lure. You will receive messages from tons of gorgeous women and the only way to respond to them is by signing up on the site. Once you've signed up and start contacting these gorgeous women you would be lucky to get a response back. Even from the women that supposedly sent you a message in the first place. NOTHING BUT A BIG CROCK OF $#*!!
