LOCANTO IS A WASTE OF TIME/MONEY

Previous review

Stay away ur money will get taken with no response from customer service they're s no way to reach them only by email they don't respond properly or promptly all they're ads are fake only prostitutes are your main responders they all want to get paid so if you say hookup meet up they will charge you and say they're not free I've experienced enough of this for the 4 months keep trying to give this website the benefit of the doubt for nothing even if women contact u they want to be paid some will start a chat but won't finish it they suddenly stop chatting with you for no reason I believe that these responders to these ads arelicanto workers just so you can respond to the ads they put up once u respond they don't respond back if you keep responding the ads get removed from the site its all garbage this website

Locanto is Scam-packed. Until I tried AFFpassion.com I thought hookup sites were not my cup of tea. I guess it's just a good site that works out for most people. I hope they keep up the great work so that I can recommend them with clear conscience. Locanto is bad even for an ordinary fling. It's definitely the wrong place. Steer wide of it, it's 100% fake and rip off, created with one purpose: to wipe off peoples' bank accounts. Don't fall for these "ladies" - they are all fake!

Stay well clear of Locanto because it is turning into scammers' paradise. There is no verification and no moderation. Scammers never get banned. Don't get excited with hundreds of emails - they are all coming from Ghana, Gambia and Nigeria scammers.

Couldnt be any more fake
November 17, 2023

This is a ridiculous site, can never find my ad, never get any replies to any ads and if i do its computer generated.
Ask a question and if your lucky only reply u get is no where near related to question that i asked.
I will be immediately be pushing to have your site removed and will have no problem getting this done!

Junk scammer website
February 24, 2021

Only good for escorts (with fake photos) and glory holes it seems... be wary of scam ads in personals... most ads promising horny ladies home alone, dripping, willing to take any man no matter what age, shape, size or criminal background... wow!

I got burned bad last week by someone. Posing as a beautiful woman. I really should have trusted my instincts which were telling me that the whole thing was a completely phony scam but unfortunately my $#*! who was thinking for me one out in the end and like a stupid $#*! I bought gift cards for a woman who didn't even exist and sent her pictures of the retrieval codes on my text phone. Guys do not give any personal information or send any money to a cash app or purchase any gift cards because you will be sorry and you will find out that you had the wool seriously pulled over your eyes. Take my word for it there is not one real woman advertising for sex on the Locanto casual encounters personals!

I have been using the personal section - casual encounters - and they are full of scams.
Prepaid massage? Pay first - receive details later! SCAM
The other is to set up communication by sending 3 nude photos and with every email 3 new ones to sign up through some age verification site to get their phone number.
Their emails are pre- prepared and never answer questions

Best to use an escort agency, even an independent will be good as long as they have punter link reviews!

Fraud money grabbers
January 21, 2019

There is no free ad per day. You can't communicate with other members unless you both have premium accounts. If not your messages are blurred or blocked. This is a scam and they should be put out of business. Do Not Waste Your $$

Aiding and abetting
April 23, 2020

Locanto appear to be revenue driven with little if any regard for the legitimacy of ads being published particularly in the personals section. The argument presented by some reviewers 'that we should be clever enough to out smart the scammers' (who are increasing at an alarming rate) is ridiculous if ads were properly vetted in the first place. A pre-requisite for any reputable advertising medium. Judging by the number of fake ads reported by other reviewers it seems Locanto has no moral compass whatsoever and should be avoided at all costs. One hopes that the necessary authorities will eventually catch up with this unscrupulous site.

Date of experience: April 23, 2020

Locanto has a rating of 1.5 stars from 202 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers dissatisfied with Locanto most frequently mention fake ads, personals section and credit card. Locanto ranks 192nd among Classifieds sites.
