This site is FULL of scammers so beware. There are a few genuine people but they are mainly from Asia, which, as an Asian myself, I find boring. Just because it is a free site it has become a playground for these scammers. The moderators do a fairly ok job removing scammers when they are reported but there are still some serious scammers still there so stay safe.
Interpals is full of Russian users who openly support Putin's war in Ukraine. They say things like, 'I support Putin, and I don't care what anyone thinks,' or, 'Europe and the US are foolish - we cannot understand why they are sanctioning us. They are only going to hurt themselves.' Or, much, MUCH worse, they simply post links to videos of Russian government propaganda about the 'Nazis' that the glorious Russian government is defending the world from.
HOWEVER, if you write anything in reply, you are INSTANTLY banned!
For example, I wrote a reply to one such post, POLITELY pointing out that little children were being killed in bombing and shelling, not to mention the fact that their childhoods' were being destroyed, and I was INSTANTLY banned.
It's alright to make pro-Putin statements, but not to write anything in reply. If you say ANYTHING against a Putin supporter, no matter how politely, you are banned.
It's not a good website.
Don't trust any of the people you meet from this site without carefully review their ID to match themselves, that means, if they want to chat, make sure you are chatting with someone that is a totally honest person. Most of people are scammers here. Please be aware!
If you feel something fishy, trust your gut and go with your instinct, don't question yourself to see if you were wrong, you rather trust yourself than some strangers, you never know who is hidden behind the computer.
People with goodwills need to be protected and protect themselves, especially protect all the money you have earned with your hard work, lock it and keep it in your bank account, never offer any to someone you have met on the internet, be as realistic as you can be. Warn your friends. They are scammers!
I've been there twice now, damn near got conned a bunch, some ladies keep referring to that site as a dating site, and it's anything but. Dealt with some rude as hell people on that site. Silver lining: I have met some nice, decent people on that site, and have actually spoken to them off of it on Viber and WhatsApp, just be diligent.
Interpals is awful. You create an account and then you start making friends and then WHAM---your account gets suspended by a moderator, but no one, no one, will tell you what youve done or why your account was taken down. Even when you are doing nothing, and I mean absolutely, nothing wrong, your account will get suspended if there are enough horny or creepy males who put a compliant against you, because you wont sex chat with them or send them naked pictures. It is disgusting how moderators on this web site will suspend your account without even giving you a chance to plead your case or ask for your account to be reinstated. This site is pathetic and a bunch of losers. Do not, I repeat do not, use this website. There are far more better ones out there that dont suspend your account on whims that dont make sense.
Nick men on this site, which at first glance seems very friendly and good person. But he gains the confidence of women all over the world, travels to these countries, lives free of charge with these women, and then morally humiliates them. Never trust this person!
I've been on Intervals for years! Not consistently, but I still get on every now and then. I even have became friends with a guy on the site. We have been friends for about 6 years and nothing romantic, he is married and she is very lovely. We mostly talk about life and he has helped me a lot with speaking Korean. So, overall you win some and you lose some. After, weeding out the perverts, its not so bad.
Beware - people can truly make up entirely false identities on sites like this, and there is no way to know if what they are saying to you about themselves is true or not. There is no way to know if that is really them in those profile photos, until they start trying to coerce you to "chat via skype" and then there's usually a purely sexual undertone to it... if that's all you care to find online, you will find it here, BUT if you are a decent, friendly person looking to make real friends - or wanting new friends for your KIDS to talk to, I wouldn't suggest this site at all...
There is a moderator there or a group of moderators, that bully people and keep deactivating their accounts for no reason. This is really childish and pathetic behaviour, they need to hire people that actually do work on the site instead or carrying out their personal vendettas against people. To that moderator who keeps doing that. I will keep coming back. You are wasting your time. Keep on wasting it.
Interpals.net is a siteful of perverts and scumbags who treat women like free prostitutes. No use wasting time on that stupid site. My friend got scammed there and that bastard is no longer active but he might have created another account which is easy as pie. Many users set a false country as their home and hide behind fake photos. They are notorious liars who would do anything just to get laid via Skype. Maybe 15 year olds find it funny. I certainly do not.
Answer: You are not alone... a bunch of incompetent mods are there who are highly biased. This is while women have been given free hand to misuse "Report" button. If you don't agree with them you get a ban/flag!
