Signed up, paid up for their Platinum service & promptly my membership was suspended without any explanation. I sent several emails and attempted to phone their office in Australia ( which just rings out or goes to an answering service) but Cupid Media never replied, refunded or re-instated my account and eventually I had to claim the money back via my credit card as a chargeback.
Strongly recommend that you do not have any dealings with this firm.
This site isn't a scam but ideally you need to be in the Philippines to use it.
Over the last few months, I've noticed a drop off in the quality of women and response rate. In addition many women who meet up try to run game on you or scam you for food or money. A lot more slumdogs are prevalent.
This isn't to say that you still can't find sex or meaningful relationships on the site but FC has declined for sure unless you know what you are doing.
1 star because of the AUTO RENEW... If you sign up for 1 month on this site, be sure to go through the settings on your account page and turn OFF auto renew membership. These guys have been charging my credit card for the last 4 months that I wasn't aware of. I'm currently asking for a refund but not having much luck as of yet. Will post an update if I succeed.
On the site there are many scammers. Fake profiles. Gold diggers. I think you should look at the couples that have been successful in finding each other using this dating site. It is up to to you to find the real women or men on this site. I was successful like so many other couples.
I put my profile & good photos on the site, 2 years ago. I was contacted by many ladies. Most did not even see or even read my profile. I never paid for membership. The site gave me for free the opportunity to read the messages sent by the ladies. One lady read my profile & found my e-mail address. Sent me a e-mail to check if I was real & the next e-mail requested we go on Skype. We ended up on Skype for over 2 hours. Daily for many hours over a period of over a year & half. She was working in Saudi Arabia on a 2 year contract as a Teacher. We feel in love online. I am living with my partner in the home she owns in the Philippines. We wish to thank FilipinoCupid for helping us to get together. I am a 62 year old Teacher retired British white man. My partner is 41 years old. Be aware filipina ladies do not care about age. I am very sure with effort you would find a lady on the cupid website. Stop thinking they are all scammers. Just detect them and move on to the real ladies looking for a partner, Never send money to any lady. Build your relationship. A filipina really in love with you is easy to detect. Stop being a fool western men. I hope this review will help you.
Dont waste your time with this site it is just scammers on there, i guarantee once the girl has you on whats app within 15 to 20 minutes she will be selling you a sob story about phone rent computer electricity. They start at a small amount say 3k to suck you in naturally via pay pal then before the money has even cooled in their account they will say that the actually need 10k and so it goes on every other day. It is better to go to the philippines in person and search there. The web site dont care they have there money.
Dear Mick,
We apologize for your unwelcoming experience. We have zero tolerance towards members of the nature you described. Unfortunately, it is extremely hard for us to verify the real intentions of the members as most dating sites do not require any form of formal identification to register and most members use their private email address to communicate with members.
It is very sad that a small minority of dishonest people will make such a negative impression of our site, as the vast majority of the members registered with us are honest.
We do our best to remove these people from our site, deleting any profiles showing dubious photos or information, as soon as we see them, however, we also rely on our valued members who kindly report to us any suspect or fake profiles they find on our site.
In addition, Our fraud prevention team works 24/7 to remove non-genuine profiles. If you would like to report a suspicious profile, please submit a ‘report abuse’ form or contact us at www.filipinocupid.com/en/help/helpdesk
Please do not generalize that all filipinas are bad. We also get lots of scammers, perverts and all kinds of weirdos. We just have to be careful in figuring who to talk to... if a filipina asks for money for whatever reason, you beware... same goes for males sending us packages and then asking us to pay for the taxes... or asking to send nude photos or go naked shows on cam... i have a US multipile visa, i have travelled, never asked for money, have been loyal etc etc etc and yet my prince is still lost and cant find me... but i dont want to stop this from hoping that somewhere, he is out there trying to get the right directions... let us not lose hope, just be careful.
I signed up for a one month subscription and immediately turned off the automatic renewal feature. A few weeks later I checked again to verify that automatic renewal was turned off. I was leaving the Philippines on the date that my subscription was to expire. When I got home I checked my card statement and found that I had been charged for another month.
I sent an e-mail notifying them of their "mistake" but they just sent a form letter back stating that they could not verify what I told them. Apparently this happens to a lot of people. I asked them to remove my card info from their system and they refused to reply to that request.
My advice is to avoid this site.
The moment I signed up for this website and paid for a membership, they suspended my account and demanded that I send them a photo copy of my credit card both front and back as well as a photo copy of my drivers license, both front and back. Until then, my account was suspended and not able to sign on. Do not use this website, I do not trust them after how I was treated. Who asks for a copy of your drivers license, copy of your credit card and other personal identity information. None of this was mentioned prior to paying for a membership. I wrote an email to get my money back and will post more later. I would not sign up with this website as they continually ask for more and more personal Identification information. No other company has ever asked for such personal information and I would warn all to stay away from FilipinoCupid.
As others have comments, the FC company seems to be loading a lot of fakes to lure users. There are some real people as well but even the real people have a real mix of pictures... be careful and be very cautious before you spend any money here
Don't put your money in this worthless website. The girls there are four 98% golddiggers! And when you don't pay them they will file a complaint about you and they block your account without getting a chance of reactivating it.
