Signed up and the same day they had free one hour platinum membership benefits. Talked with 3 girls got their info on skype. Video chat with all three and they were true to their profile. All three are very poor. I really liked 2 out of three. We have been talking on skype. One has 6 years old kid and other has 5! Months old kid. They both want to meet me. So I am going there for a month and stay with my cousin. I am gonna meet both of them for 2 weeks each. Will decide after that. I told both to not ask for money right on first day. They didn't. It's been 6 months. Will update to let you all know what happened next.
Bought a suscription for 3 months and i'm out in less of a month, as the ttle says; Business oriented 100% on milk western man, be prepared to lose a lot of time in the process of being tricked with dramas, emergencies, lies, scripts made to end up asking for money sooner or later. Poor you if you are a good person, looking for real love, be careful. Philippine women are wonderful ones but not in these places where they have done a cruel business with foreigners.
FULL of scammers. I just lost $2000 to a very sophisticated scammer. You think you can pick them but there are some very sneaky hustlers on here. Even ones that prove their identity. You might get lucky with some but stay away from the pretty girls. They do this for a living.

I am a paying member on this site for one month. Out of over 80 profiles I have been in contact with ony 3 have turned out not to be fake and out of that 3 only one is suspected to not be a scammer and that one is not confirmed yet, she seems like the real deal and has me wrapped around her little finger. If this one turns out to be a scammer it is going to break my heart.
I have reported fake profiles but so far they have done nothing to remove them and it has been days

Hi Ken,
Congratulations on your marriage. We would love to hear your story. Please email us your story with a photo to lovestories@cupid, media.com
I have used it a number of times with some result. However, I just got the same result with Date in Asia which is totally free and with a better and simpler user interface. Filipino Cupid is a nuisance by being pushy and greedy. They have built in scams like automatic membership renewal which is a trick to suck your money from the credit card without asking for permission. If you forget to opt out they will suck your money for months even if you never log in. I think is a borderline legal practice that by itself make the site not trust worthy. Is also full of scammer members that try to make money in various ways

This site is plagued with scam artists (both the company and individuals). Very few women are on here. And to show you the scam from the company's end of things they gave me an hour of premium service and all the messages were copied and pasted repeats of the same 5 messages... Only one woman out of the 80 messages I received was real. And I know she was real because she gave me her instagram! Tread CAREFULLY on this site.

This site, while offering some real profiles, is primarily made up of fake profiles. Of the 15 women I 'talked' with, only ONE, that's right ONE was real.
Most of the information is fake, the photos are fake and once you respond to a person the scam begins. It can be a family crisis, or using a specific travel agency, or some other means to separate you from your money.
Spread the word that this site is a rip-off

I just use the app yesterday, the same day my profile was temporarily suspended. They want me to upload government issued photo, drivers license, or passport. I don't have that I tried school ID But it's not working. I don't know how should I reactivate it I don't even know whom to ask.

When you are a paid member the site operates as it should. People responding or engaging your profile in what i would consider a normal manner. Gender issues and money fishing not withstanding. Its when your subscription runs out that the nonsense starts.
Frequency of messages increases. From people that you have never once interacted with. When i was subscribed i would get two of three messages while online and a few expressions of interest. Nearly zero messages while offline. Now that i am no longer subscribed i can log in and expect 5 to 7 'messages' that magically appear. It is pretty obvious they have a script that randomly selects a few possible matches from active accounts that fit your search parameters and have them 'send' you intro messages that you cannot read until you're subscribed. Thankfully the ones i am getting are from profiles i am not interested in so no impulse to pay up to speak to someone who probably didnt even know they had 'contacted' me.

I could not believe the number of scammers on this site. I did meet one very beautiful young girl and dated her for a few months. But the whole thing is 98% a waste of time. So many phony profiles and scam artists. This is the scammiest such site I've encountered. But it does have good selection tools so you can find exactly what you're looking for if you're willing to spend lots of time at it and keep a healthy cynical attitude

The site is only there for one reason: making money without any effort.
This site contains hundreds of women who's only interest is to ask you money for their: rent, school, food, burials, electricity bill, load for their phone, doctor bills, hospital bills, wifi you name and I have seen it.
But besides that you have the African scammers which can be so easily spotted once you know but FilipinoCupid.com doesn't do anything to track them down even though the use the same pattern to scam people.
But the worst part is when a bimbo files a complaint which is always sustained by filipinocupid. In that case you can be sure that they will block you for as long as they like while your account isn't working anymore. And forget about refunds! And don't think that they will answer your complaints they will send you the same automated e-mails over and over agagin. They are just scammers driven by other scammers! RUBBISH

After 3 month I talk with a lot of girls from FC but all... In really mean ALL... are only for games, or ask to send money for different reasons, my experience on that site is a very unpleasant one! Beautiful girls are using fake photos and admin don't do anything to stop these phenomena! My advice is to go on China Cupid or Thai Cupid! Leave Filipina alone. Not worthed to waste time with these girls!

Never mind if there are fake accounts or not. The real issue is how poorly the site is run. They don't answer their messages. Images do not match the appropriate thumbnails. Profiles updates are slow or never happen. Deleted images still show in profile. Clicking thumbnail displays different images. So many issues and problem. But worse, trying to get those issues solved is impossible since Cupid does not reply to your messages.

Signed up for a 3 month subscription, was permanently suspended in 4 days.
"As you have indicated on your account, you are not seeking members for the aforementioned reasons. Your profile has therefore been permanently removed and cannot be reactivated".
First, they approve all profiles before they become active, and 2nd, nothing on my profile stated either way. I got LOTS of messages from what seemed to be bots, fake ID's and some really homely profile pictures. Only 1 picture on each profile.
I was banned after I put a word at the end of my profile, stating, if you send a message, start with this word so I know you read my profile.
Next morning my profile was banned permanently.
Tip for consumers:
Buy one month if you must try it and IMMEDIATELY turn off auto-renewal.

I signed up and got between 80-100 likes within a day or two, but only about 7 had looked at my near-empty profile, alarm bells!
Then all those that did message me wanted my WhatsApp, Skype, email or Google hangout straight away, alarm bells! The one or two that did stay on the site to talk started the sob story after about 6 messages. Unfortunately, you are like a bucket of chum in a shark tank, even with the age-appropriate profiles!. I have no idea how the site can police this. To report someone you need evidence and that is why the profiles want to move off the site and on to something like whatsapp asap. If you ask them to stay on the site, they say something like, 'I don't use this site much' or 'am not on it that often'. Funny that, because they seem to be on it a lot? If you do sign up, well good luck.

Dear Terry,
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 addresses 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.
I signed up for a free account today. I went through the effort of completing my profile and adding pictures. I tried to make use of the 1 hour free. Tried to log in 6 hours later to see if I got any responses and all I got was this message:
--
Profile Terminated
Your profile has been terminated and cannot be reactivated.
--
I've been a member of blossoms.com on and off for over 2yrs. People write cupid has many scammers, blossoms seems to have very few Filipino scammers (don't think I've met any).
I emailed filipinocupid to find out why they terminated my account and got no response.

Shocking website totally full of girls scamming for $$ and trying to get you to join a partner site as well so you can "see them". Seriously it's a total waste of time so please don't bother.
I assure you any pretty girl you contact will soon come back asking you to join other sites which of course you need to pay for the privilege.
The site was ok many years ago but after re-joining recently it's obvious it's full of scammers. Sad but true

Most unverified posts with attractive people are fake and will ask for money. Although the site "permanently" deleted many they are back the next day
One to stay away from is Jacky Erpa user name Erpa. She has issued death threats and the site deleted 2 profiles but is back and they no longer take action. The site even verified photoshopped IDs of many people. For a free subscription it's entertainment to hear all the lies and scams but don't pay for this site ever

I was on this site for one day and they suspended my profile. For what they couldn't tell me. Next thing I know they're asking for my Drivers License or Passport to unlock my profile. Who in their right mind would give this site that information. Plus, they read your private messages to other members. Most of the girls tried to get me to use WhatsApp, now I know why. Buyer Beware!

FC has no bad intentions but people in this site are full of hate and bad intentions. Filipina are kept doing scams and dudes from abroad are disrespecting even the decent women. Guys remember you only have the right to disrespect if one person did bad thing to you. But if you disrespect someone which is decent and has no bad intention. Then maybe you have your own emotional baggage which makes your heart bitter. I am a member and I found sincere friends but nowadays many dude from there are disrespecting me. Well that's their problem and not mine. I still have my pride and dignity.

Please watch out for this girl and the so called family or gang members. The girl will trick you to buy laptop with wifi, then making excuse for no wifi for video. Then the family will invite you and ask you to pay for throwing the non-existing party. The grant entrance is for travel agent to fake the passport and asked for agent fee to get Visa for her. Then the father will ask for money to sort the mess. All the photos enclosed including family photo and forge documents. The two photo showing a girl crying are the actual person talking to you.

Any china profile is scammer. They ask your phone number, or mail, because there in china dont work other applications. But is scam. They want only your phone number/mail. Also any other report for others type of scammer do for zero result, rarely they delete the profile. Is like they want to keep the scammers. Sometimes i have to do 3 reports or more only for one profile, and at least they delete the profile. But after how long time? That is worst for clients and for site.
