Enjoyable chats with a few genuine people. The site could use better moderation to weed out fakes, but overall, it's a decent experience.
All the really fine looking ladies on Cupid.com are "ghost profiles" so don't waste your time here. I perused the site for a short time and quickly lost interest because of this fact, although they call them "angel profiles"
This site needs to be removed! Total scam. My friend died and they were sending sexual messages from her account longggg after she died. They need to be investigated and arrested!

Be Ware cupidIsAscam. Do NOT GIVE YOUR PAYMENT INFORMATION. If you give your payment information they Will Rip you off. Cupid employees will send you flirts and filthy messages pretending to be others. Steer Clear

I payed for a three month gold description. It turns out you can send emails and chat requests, but ONLY OTHER GOLD MEMBERS can read it. Non gold members can see that they've been sent an email but they can't read it or respond. This promps them to pay the money for gold membership, as id did me. Except that the message I got was some generic bull$#*! from someone who was spamming it to everyone. The point is, ONLY GOLD MEMBERS CAN COMMUNICATE, and THEY CAN ONLY COMMUNICATE WITH OTHER GOLD MEMBERS. Thus, YOU CAN ONLY TALK TO, AND POTENTIALLY DATE THOSE WITH GOLD MEMBERSHIPS, THUS EXCLUDING 90% OF THE PEOPLE ON THE DATING SITE. YOU CAN ONLY DATE A TINY FRACTION OF THE PEOPLE YOUR SUPPOSE TO BE ABLE TO!
Complete rip-off! Match.com is the only site, I believe, where free members can still communicate with gold members, as long as the gold members contact them first. However, even this might be a mis-communication, so don't take my word for it!

Take money from credit card without any agreement and info. I only tried 3 days subscribtion, then they keep taking 30 usd each month. Be carefully when you pay!
Bye forever.

I signed up on those Cupid plc websites in the past. It's a scam and let me explain their modus operandi. Most of the decent profiles are fake. They have profile images picked up from the Internet (and you can confirm this by reverse looking up the image on Google). It is definitely a fraud scheme. You will receive a lot of emails from many genuine-looking people till you sign up (all the content in the email will be hidden, the profile image of that person will be so tiny that you wont discern anything). Every day you will get an email you are popular and you should pay them money to contact people, all fake and obviously bots!
Once you sign up, these emails from seemingly real people stop coming. You can also notice that the profile images are photoshopped or fake (because they now let you see the bigger image). Most of the traffic that lands up in your inbox now is spam, sent by the website itself. They also automatically sign you up on their many sister websites (cupid.com, girlsdateforfree.com, datingforparents.com, speeddater.co.uk, uniformdating.com, loveagain.com, maturedatinguk.com etc…) and you start getting the same type of spam from them, all begging for you to sign up. Horrible extortion scheme. I am sure there are better ways of making money than playing with people's emotions. The profiles of the people are not genuine at all; they are all fake people who have posted their profiles. Messages before you sign up are definitely fake and bot generated.

I did not expect that site will give me full access for free. Good move. The site seems legit and with strong anti-fraud system

Total RIP Off! They will over charge and add bogus charges. All they do is send you scam messages from fake people 100's of miles away.

Not as bad as everyone says it is. Have some trouble with messaging and anti-spammer protection - yes. The other parts of site are pretty valid

Figured it's time to share an update the cupid media niche sites. First and foremost, not much has changed by far. The women that uses the site are in full operation mode and doing all they can do to separate you from your money. Now, I've learned how to use the site to my advantage and have been successful on three (3) trips so far.
First and foremost, I don't recommend anyone sign up for any foreign cupid site until you are ready to travel to that niche country. Doing so will just lead you to disappointment, stress of these chics asking for money all day and hearing all kinds of sob stories. It will definitely distract from real life because these chics work overtime. They will shower you with attention, pictures and then the money kill.
I recommend sign up a month before you travel. Better to do it 2 weeks ahead but that's ok. Now, I dare say that 7-8 out of 10 women on all those site are "working" in some capacity. Some full time pros, others have jobs but need money for Iphones (their favorite) etc... You will be paying for that iphone. Ok, back... I've been to DR, Colombia and the Philippines with each trip lasting about 2.5 weeks. I used cupid to line up the girls and slept with the majority of them simply by telling them I will give them money in person. Since the trip is usually less than two weeks away, they are happy to wait.
Sorry to generalize but a lot of these women are broke, you are nothing but an ATM. They will do anything and everything to separate you from your money. Sleeping with you is a job (like I said working girls). There's no limit to what length they will go to and things they won't say to separate you from your money.
Last tip, honestly you dont even need to sign to cupid sites because when you get to your foreign country there are so many other options you wont even have time to contact those you met on those cupid sites. Happened to me and my friends.

In case it wasnt clear to you from all you've read, stay away from the site. Dont be tempted by all the pictures. There is absolutely nothing from scammers trying to get you to send $. Anyway, I did pay for a subscription service and heard all the scams. Everything from death in the family, my kid needs an operation, i need an operation, omg i just got robbed etc... heard it all. Stay away and save your $$$

On this site i was continually inindated with letters from the immigration scammers but on one occasion i had a letter from a british man who i was wary thinking he was an immigration scammer but after 3 weeks of spending time everyday with him and giving him my email and eventually allowing him on my facebook page he started asking for money at first it was a donation for a widow of a man that was accidently killed at his industrial site which i sent 178.00 canadian for and then one week later he sent me a request for 85,000 dollars to pay his taxes so he could leave britain and come to canada. I refused and asked him to send me a copy of his passport so i knew his real identity and he sent me a forged copy of the passport the deges of the pic were visible and the writing was so blurry i couldn`t read it but when i zoomed in it wasn`t even ihis name on the thing. I wrote immediately to cupid on saturday and didn`t hear back wrote them again yesterday and they said nothing could be done so i threatened them with police action and finally they said they would investigate and remove his profile but it is still there as of now. My point is if he were on the street i could have him charged with fraud and attempting to extort money but being on the internet these crimes are going on all the time. Is there any suggestions you could give me to prevent this the next time?

Please, be safe and take care of yourself.
This site is a complete joke I have been hammered with nothing but fake fraudulent messages since I gave them my credit card number. One person I was talking to gave me their cell phone number and it was a area code that is near where I live we didn't even message for two days and she was calling me honey and baby and sweetheart and then all the sudden she needed money because she couldn't cash her check because the bank was holding it for some unexplained reason and she was hungry and needed food. I actually knew it was a scam around about the second text message because of the poorly translated English after she told me she was in West Nigeria to take care of some late parents property then I absolutely knew it was a scam I kept on with it just because I wanted to make the person feel like a complete idiot which I'm pretty sure I ended up doing I have yet to see one real profile they are all fakes you can tell by the names cute lioness happy princess joyful tiger they all have these sorts of names with the exception of a few but those are fake as well I'm doubting I'm going to get any of my money back but I did ask to cancel my account I was reading before I signed up and I have 14 days to cancel so not sure what's going to go on there but I would steer clear of this I think it's actually owned by the same people that are trying to scam you out of your money so you're basically getting double scammed best of luck!
