I WAS ON ADULTFRIENDFINDER FOR A YEAR, AND ALL I GOT WAS TWO RESPONSES. TALK ABOUT A RIP OFF!!

Tara of New York City, NY May 15, 2009

Adult Friend Finder is a site specializing in matching people for brief sexual encounters. I am not a member of this site and never have been. I discovered through a friend of mine who is a member on the site that someone had put up a profile using my information (name, age, occupation, where I live, basic personality description). The impersonater was getting in touch with people over the site and, attached in the messages he/she sent, was sending photos of mine that they must have taken from where I had posted them elsewhere on the internet (perhaps a social networking site like MySpace). One of the photos was from an event that the friend who received the message had been at--she was in the original version of the photo (and had been cropped out). My friend thought it was odd and got in touch with me because, since she knows me, she knows I am not of the sexual orientation described.

In essence, the person was using details of myself as well as my photos to get in touch with other people on the site and had inadvertently emailed someone that I knew. I called Adult Friend Finder to report this and they essentially told me they could do nothing. I have heard that this company is notorious for this kind of thing--allowing fake profiles to be posted in exchange for money. If I am correct, they are essentially active participants in identity theft.

Having had my identity stolen like this, I feel violated. The further insult of the fact that the company will do nothing is further insulting. There may be other damages that I do not know of yet--perhaps if someone else I know saw the fake profile on that site.

I joined this web site which is for singles. So far, the email systm that is set up to email other members does not work. When it did, I began receiving spam mail without ever giving my email address out to another member. They have a thing called cupid settings which is supposed to match me with women who match my criteria, well, lets just say that the matches don't even come close to what I wrote. There are several supposedly different members who have the exact same profiles posted, word for word.I have written several complaints to their customer service department only to be patronized by being told that I must have logged onto the wrong site or whatever. My only request is that you look into this company as, based on my experience, they only take money from you, but do not provide the service for which you subscribed to. They then give away your email address. Or you are contacted by people directing you to another paysite.

I had joined their site which was free, and then I chose to upgrade it to a better membership..so like an idiot I pulled out my credit card and it worked for the first hour. Ever since then the username and passwords i paid 30 some odd dollars for is "invalid" Iemailed them a few times complaining it has been weeks anbd still no reply. I beleive them to be a fraudulent site!
