OkCupid Reviews

I had been on this site for a while since I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere. Anyway I asked a woman a question about her religious views and I was polite and nice about it. I didn't do it in an abusive or mean or rude manner or anything. Since the person had very close views as me and we both liked doing a lot of the same things, next thing I know I receiving swearing and cussing and the person calling me stupid and dumb and all kind of abusive and mean and harassing messages that I did not want to deal with so I blocked them. A few hours later my account was deleted and I was told I violated TOS which I did not. The other person did. While on the site I also had picture that was in other folders deleted and threatened to be banned for saying "it's better to find someone to wake up to than sleep with.” As in all this site isn't worth using since most of the matches did not in fact match and it’s just a waste of time.

So, I had been using OkCupid for quite a while. I would say a year or two on and off. I had answered hundreds and hundreds of questions that the site has you do "for the best possible match". The majority of those answers were in great depth and were very well thought out. I believed that answering such questions in great detail would allow people to understand me better.

I posted in my profile about helping the "Catskill Mountain Railroad" Not getting torn up for a Bike trail, and they Blocked me. Wasn't asking for money or anything, just want to help the railroad! Yet I'd see women on the advertising for their home businesses, all the time, and some could be considered scams and nothing is ever done to them! I was an A plus account and they did refund my money, but that is not the point! I did nothing wrong!

I send out decent, innocent invitations to chat/correspond. I paid for "special package" which includes ability to see that my messages are being read in real time. 9 out of 10 "ladies" never bother to acknowledge my presence/attempts at communicating. They lie saying they "missed" me when I see them go to my profile after reading my introduction/repeated attempt to see if there is any interest.

This site is one of the absolute worse. They are infamous for canceling accounts yet let you continue to see those that you have blocked. Anyone can have your pictures removed yet males can have their ** showing or no pictures at all due to them literally stating they're just trying to screw. It's utterly RIDICULOUS! Not to mention the filters are a complete JOKE!!!

They deleted my account after I reported a guy who was asking me for money so that he could get out of the military! No, really, I mean how stupid did I look (pretty stupid), I guess. Anyway, if you are an attractive lady who is educated, intelligent, gainfully employed, and not looking for one night stands or to sponsor foreign drug cartels, then RUN! If your life is good, and you'd like to keep it that way, then this site is NOT for you. If you're feeling adventurous, try Craigslist.

OkCupid's moderators banned my roommate from their website for expressing her opinion, but I was using her computer for my account on there too, so they assumed that my account was my roommate's duplicate account cause we used the same computer. They sent her an email saying we deleted your other account too... LOL!!! What a bunch of imbeciles! How are you supposed to find the right match for you if you can't even express your opinion and have a normal conversation without OkCupid ** police breathing down your neck and shutting you down if you say something that they don't agree with?

I received insulting messages from random guys on OKC. At one point it really got to me and I insulted one back, so they banned me from the website (blocked my computer and phone) and the guy who insulted me is still using their system! Unbelievable!

OkCupid is notorious for randomly shutting down user accounts without providing an explanation why. This is bad business practice on their part, users can be reported by another user for no legitimate reason or moderators can take issue with e-mail correspondences you've had with other users and then you find your account blocked or deleted and you're left without any recourse. Honestly people stay away and don't use the online services of OkCupid. Go out and meet people the old fashion way... IN PERSON. I've sent a few e-mails to OkCupid and nobody from the organization has bothered to acknowledge or respond. Lesson learned.

Unlike many other reviewers, I have not encountered Nigerian or other overseas scammers. There was one who used a picture of a London based wealthy business owner, married with kids, and there were some with no pics at all. In addition, there were so many local arrogant middle eastern men who do not take no for an answer. And there were plenty of other local weirdos. These dating sites make you believe that there are no normal middle aged men out there. I am an educated, attractive woman who was interested in meeting a normal middle aged educated and interesting man. I guess, there is no such thing, lol.

This site is 100% run by scammers. The proof is that the site offers up an assistant in the beginning to welcome people to the site. They also have a email address for notifying them about scams and site abuses. I reached out to both about scammers asking for cash. The "greeter" never answered back and the email address did not exist. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE ACTUALLY RUN BY THE SCAMMERS.

Match.com was revoked by the BBB. They charge your card even after you delete and tell them that you are done forever. There have been several class action lawsuits against these scumbags. Fake profiles and also don't believe the so called Match success stories. They are fake stories that the site posts themselves.

I decided 2016 I was I needed a change in life. I have recently turned 50 and had heard good things about OK Cupid. I signed up on Jan 1st and was immediately contacted by a guy whose profile said he lived in bell Gardens, CA. We started IMing and seemed to be on the same page. About 30 mins into it he tells me he's in Afghanistan in the Army but will be retiring after 20 yrs in March. I think this is nice, we have 3 months to get to know each other and not jump into anything. He had no access to Skype, a cell phone nor any recent photos.

A friend told me about the site, new to Match, so thought I'd check out Cupid. From the get-go men were coming on unreasonably strong; calling me delicious, gorgeous, wanting to go "where this is going". Very young and didn't care that I was 62. Red flags immediately, very unsophisticated, unprofessional and lewd. Immediately wanting my phone, email, etc. Mostly out-of-state, in armed services.

I am writing this review in hopes that I will help other women to avoid this dating website. I had 5 guys in 3 weeks get extremely cruel via text and over the phone because I did not want to go on a date. The whole purpose of online dating is to find the right fit. These guys were plain crazy! I am appalled at how rude these guys were and they never met me. Some never even talked. Just text. There is a reason that men in their 40's and 50's have never been married. OkCupid should really do some background checks or at the very least offer it up for a price. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE.

I am a mom of a college student that met a man online using this dating site. They do not do background checks. I am writing this to warn everyone. DO NOT USE THIS SITE. Things could have ended very differently for my daughter. She dated him for 5 weeks. Luckily, he came to our home over winter break to visit her. There was something not right about him. He left at 5 pm on new year's eve stating there was a family emergency but he would be back tomorrow. That emergency was he is a REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER FOR LIFE. He is on parole and left his home for over 3 days and had to check in with his parole officer.

This used to be a good site. I am a professional and (so I've been told) attractive woman who is intelligent, classy, sophisticated and articulate. The primary issue I have with OKC is there is no feasible method of blocking men from specific age demographics. As a 44 year old sane professional I am honestly disgruntled and disheartened by the number of 20-something "men" who contact me. I am confident in stating that at least 95% of the emails I've received via this site during the times my account is actually active are from men under the age of 24. Maybe this is something that some women out there enjoy - the possibility of a hook-up with some young creep. Not me. OKC used to come highly recommended and I, too, would recommend it to friends due to the fact there are some very poignant questions that, if answered, can help you find a better match.

I've been on the site for about 4 months. In the last 2 weeks I have had 2 scammers that I was able to verify. One wrote that he was an art dealer from Sweden and had lived in the states for 6 months. He had very nice pictures. I put his picture on Google Image Search. Surprisingly, the picture was of a judge in Texas married for 29 years with 3 children. The impostor said he lived outside of Philadelphia. The other one said he lived in Trenton, NJ. His picture came up as an actor in London. I advise anyone on these sites to use image search before you get too involved. I contacted OKCupid, but they are still on the site.

I cannot say that this was a "bad" experience per se. It is a non-paid online dating website. I wrote a very specific profile saying what I am seeking - a man to date and possibly marry in my area, giving a very detailed description of myself and what type of man I am looking for. I have received at least 95% entirely unsuitable responses. Men in geographically distant areas, much younger men, married men and men who obviously did not read my profile and did not share any of my values/desires.

I found my share of scammers on OK Cupid Vietnam but believe that the same can be found on most if not all online dating sites. Finding legitimate profiles takes time, effort, lots of common sense and patience. Although many of the responses to my profile were obviously scammers I met several really decent women that were seeking the same as I. Love and commitment with somebody that shared the same interests and values. Two years ago my brief time on OKcupid Vietnam led me to Thuy. Thuy and I communicated via OKcupid for quite some time before moving to emails, texts, Face Time and phone calls. 12 months after meeting online we met in person for the first time and I proposed.

I engaged in conversations with 2 people so far that have turned out to be scammers. Woke up this morning and saw a new one trying to message with me. I guess I must look like some lonely person. This site is almost too easy for people to do this scamming trick on. They are easy to spot. They want you to move conversations to Facebook or Yahoo right away. They always say they are 55 and that age and distance don't matter. I feel so for the women or men falling for this and there should be better protection. What an awful place this is.

After a month or so of conversing online and phone calls, this guy claimed to be a widower with two children, sent me photos of them on vacation in "Florida". Then is on his way to Nigeria to build a bridge and is a Civil Engineer. He suddenly claims his bank acct here in the states was compromised and they shut it down so he could no longer get money out. I felt badly for him as my sister went through the same thing recently. That he needed to show up in person to straighten it all out with the bank. After reading about this as a scam though, I stopped my last Western Union transfer to him. He had me. I feel like a real fool.

The older you are, the more specific your interests become, and the less likely it becomes that you will find someone in your local area who is a good fit. The internet gives you access to the world. I am in the fifth year of a successful relationship that started on OkCupid. I found someone who shares my passion for growing our own food, living a creative life and the chemistry is great. You have to be willing to sort through a lot of trolls just looking for a quickie, but how else can you meet and sort a hundred potential mates in an afternoon?

The site used to be a good one... a couple of years ago. Nothing but scammers now. I actually had someone contact me with my own profile. He stole and changed a couple of things to make him sound like a guy, but it was MY PROFILE... probably couldn't read English that well. Ugh! I have had at least 50 scam type messages, who knows some are probably from the same people changing and stealing profiles. Not a good dating site anymore!

Seems only eating and sleeping have a stronger grip on steering our daily behaviour than that thing in our heads screaming at us to find love and have sex. OkCupid is a free/or paid online dating service. Setting Cupid apart from other dating sites are hundreds (and hundreds) of questions you're asked to provide a reliable profile. Life Dynamics like Ethics, Lifestyle, Dating, and Sex are categories. With answers to those questions, you can check for real commonality beyond liking the smile in a photo.

I was dissatisfied with the supposed "target" matching recommendations because each recommended profile that was supposedly a good match was just the opposite in not only a few criteria but almost every one I selected as important. Important factors like location, age, and sometimes race seemed to have been ignored. I would not recommend using the service until they improve their matching/selection set up.

I like that OkC offers most features for free. There seems to be a good variety of people who use it. As can be said for any dating site, quantity is not quality. After 3 years of using it, I haven't been successful in finding the "one" but have gone on plenty of dates. Not sure how much of that is the site's fault or more of the users who misrepresent their intentions. I do like that they get users to help moderate content. It's entertaining at least.

It just was not for me. I've always seen dating sites as a last resort, and while that might not be the case that stigma has stuck with me. The design was fine, but in my area the selection was not what I was looking for.

I liked OkCupid because they seemed to be more private than other dating sites. It was up to you and your date to reveal information not the site. The surveys were interesting and were really in depth.

I meet this lady on OkCupid. Judging from her picture she was pretty. We exchanged emails and emailed each other for a month or so then she told me her son needed a heart transplant which cost almost $10000 with pictures of her son who is on vacation in Ghana. So I sent her $5000. After a while she never replied my email. Then I got an email from an organization tell me I have been scammed that they can get the scammer. I accepted and they send me a document to sign and a week later I got an email with pictures and video on this guy who they say was the lady I was talking to. To cut the story short I got part of the money back and the guy was send to jail. I just want any victim of scam on OkCupid to have hope you will get these criminals. Please here is my email **. Email me. Let me share this organization with you and hope they get these guys.

I joined only 7 days ago and the first person to contact me was a scammer, and the second one also. I realized ** is probably a Nigerian scammer as 3 days into texting me, he wanted my phone number, started to profess his love for me, said he is coming in 3 weeks to move in with me, asked me how much I paid for my property, emailed me constantly, and even though he says he is Norwegian, cannot speak a word of "Norway" as he called it, and had excuses why he could not. He has two different birthdays, and could not tell me the color of his eyes or how tall he was. I am in criminal justice so I knew the questions to ask. He has not stopped texting me or calling me and gave two phone numbers that turned out to be one-way only.

I joined OKCupid in March and found immediately that there was more to it than met the eye. A woman runs into these pictures of either soldiers, or models, or intelligent looking businessmen, but the one problem is - that can't write English. I can spot the fakes and OK Cupid is overflowing with them. Every one of them are bridge contractors or soldiers stationed in a faraway country or a businessman who just moved to America with some unidentifiable accent.

I've been a member on this site for a few months and all I've seen are scammers and I started talking to one guy that seemed like a really good person and I found out he's a registered sex offender. I got suspicious after he was so concerned about my child and his rights were taken away from his child. I did put a complaint in with this company. This site needs to be monitored for everyone's safety.

I joined OkCupid about 4 days ago. I start to talk to some guy name Daven. He had great profile and pictures. We exchange phone numbers. First he was caring which is all girls dream, then he start telling me I'm the one..... then he ask if I would like for him to come visit but he needs money for his ticket. He's in the Army and he will pay back. Right there I got red flag, but wanted to know where this is gonna go. I try to report this to OkCupid with no luck so he is free scamming whoever he can. He ask for my social, my licenses which he never got. I try to get customer service - there is no way to reach them. I close my account they never bother to know why or respond to my complaint. GIRLS WATCH OUT!!!!!

He called himself "Hector." He messaged me saying he was interested, he lived in a nearby town and he left his number. I texted him and we seemed to hit it off right away. All of his photos seemed legit and was very sweet. Within 48 hours he began calling me his one and only, his "princess." Already I had warning bells going off, but I kept talking to him. I asked him what he did for a living and he sent me a link to his business, his very own business he said selling building materials. Late that night I checked out this link. Much to my surprise there was a picture of the "CEO" on the website and it was a completely different man than the one on OkCupid. So I did a bit more checking up. The man on the website had a FB page so I checked it out. This man was married, had a son, and was in his late 30's.

I had subscribed to OKCUPID for nearly two months. I had even paid to have extra benefits for the profile. I'm logging into the site one day when I'm getting an ''Error'' message stating that this wasn't suppose to happen. I tried contacting them after a few days of no prevail. Finally after a week of sending a few messages finally someone sent me an email. Their message was I was blocked indefinitely for making a crude unacceptable remark to another subscriber. Didn't even know what they were talking about except that I'm on a shared computer then someone made a gesture from the computer which is probably unlikely unless it was hacked. That was all that I heard from them. They won't respond or investigate. They block your router IP address so you NEVER EVER get in their site.

All I come across are guys from Africa pretending to be girls trying to get me to send them money. It's always obvious cause they give me their phone number right away. Trying to meet a girl on there is very difficult but it's the same with all dating sites I try.

I was on OkCupid for less than 6 weeks and the only two people I met on there were money scammers. Within days, I was asked to be made business partners. I made mistakes by sending pics via emails and coincidentally after I realize it was a scammer and stopped communication, my email was hacked. I reckon there is a team of highly sophisticated scammers on OkCupid, trying to get you... I deleted my account altogether. You get what you paid for, you pay nothing to use it, you get the scammers...

SO, I met this guy, Jackson ** online. Come to find out that all he was was a liar from the word go. The truth was he was cheating on his fiance. Not only did he lie about every single thing, but cheated on his fiance, used me and other women and in general is just a jerk. I hope he gets what he deserves.

Paid for A-List 6-month subscription. 10 days later I get an error message every time I try to sign in. Now I learn from other people that have had the same problem that the error message actually means that I've been banned for some reason. Customer Service just does not reply. No idea why they banned me. All I know is now I'm out $47 as well all the effort I put into making my profile and answering questions. The worst part is that I lost all the contacts - so maybe now I'll never find love and end up old and alone. Damn you OkCupid. You're not OK to me anymore. So I'm disputing the credit card charge with my bank. I hope other people who have the same issue also dispute the charges. Eventually MasterCard and Visa will block them, which would be poetic justice. Or maybe just prosaic justice. But at least some kind of justice.

I keep signing in on OkCupid with a new account and keep getting an error message. Why is this? I am tired of being rejected for no reason.

I used the feedback form at okcupid.com but no one responded. I was locked out of my account at OKC, despite following the terms of use. It appears that OkCupid's staff locks people out of their accounts arbitrarily. The testimonial evidence on ConsumerAffairs by others experiencing similar problems cannot be overcome. IAC and its board must take responsibility that its subdivisions, Match, OkCupid, Tinder, The Princeton Review, Ask.com, and DailyBurn are responsible and avoid unfair business practices.

Women... beware!!! Only view people who have pictures and make sure the pictures are of the same person you're viewing. These scammers are even portraying our military personnel!!! I know because I almost fell victim to it!! They ask several questions about who you are and sweet talk you then before you know it, they want money. They give a ** story stating how they're widowed/divorced and need help. Thankfully I'm pretty savvy and did my research. If anything, it was definitely a learning experience.

I had been on and off of here for awhile now and not having any luck. I met like 2 guys off this site and one of them turned out to be a heroin addict and I didn't know it until I got to the date. He was almost falling asleep. Second guy went on like 7 dates with me and decided to tell me he wasn't interested ever and didn't wanna be mean. Then I decided to get off for a few months. I signed back up and one guy had naked pictures so I reported it and the rest that messaged me were old enough to be my father even though I set my settings to receive messages from people 3 years younger or 5 yrs older. Not worth it so I deleted it and I was glad I never paid for it!

I was approached by several men. Two of them may have been scammers. As in other comments posted about OkCupid about scammers, these two claimed they were on an oil rig and stationed overseas in the military. The oil rig one spoke of love and began using endearments within a day or two. It was very quick and very weird. Also, I could not find his name on Google, or LinkedIn despite his claim of being in a high-profile field. The 2nd was supposed to be in the military. He had an online profile on Google and other sites, but they all appeared to be very recent with no past history. The remainder were local (to me) looking for flings or one-nighters. None of them met my specifications.

I tried OK Cupid multiple times. Would disable my account and then re-open trying to be optimistic. But I met only one guy that was decent, the rest were con artist. They always claim to own or work as an engineer or a "cashier" which Americans call a teller. They never live near you. They always want the relationship to move too quickly for my taste. They claim they love you and you are the one they have been looking for all their lives. They either widow or their "ex-wife" cheated on them. They always want to use text message or yahoo messenger to communicate and when they call it's always a bad connection, and there are dire circumstances and need to send money.

I signed up for OkCupid around May 2015. So far I have encountered nothing but scammers on this site - to date 4. I'm as poor as a church mouse but I did check out these people to find they were using other people's photos. Magic jack type phones. They were all charming and all well to do looking for a wife. I saw right through them but I just want to warn people that this site is full of scammers. However I will add my friend is getting married in October to a wonderful guy she met on there. So be cautious.

Was looking at the "Men looking for women" and there's transvestites allowed to be on the site as women? What a lowlife site, would never recommend it, that's besides the scammers on there from different countries!

I recently reported a scammer -- for whom I had the entire story. A man who had stolen the pictures from another dating site, who had created a fake professional site with those pictures etc -- and was contacted by one employee in charge of complaints who wrote that OKCupid would block this individual from contacting me: I can do it myself by pressing "block them". When I asked him if he wanted more information about this person, he did not even reply. I also asked this employee how his company intends to solve this problem of scamming, and no answer again.

Fakes, scammers. No customer support. If you pay for a membership and they ban you. No refund no explanation. They will ban you for no reason or if there is a reason they don't tell you. No email to say you were banned. Very unethical. Nobody monitors this co. They get away with anything.

I have had an account that has been on and off for nearly a decade, including paying $20+/month. As of recently, I had reactivated my profile and changed status to 'polyamorous' since my current girlfriend has been wanting to explore her sexuality. Even though the options for setting up your profile and desired match include 'bisexuality', gay, heterosexual, polyamory, etc, this leaves you open to having your account deleted and blocked from customer support. Again, this is an account that I've had for nearly ten years, including paying for the service. Then, to have the moderators instantly delete my profile without any explanation, because somebody was upset by the fact that my profile settings clearly indicate that I am searching for a bi-sexual girl, including abiding by their terms of etiquette, and even an option for setting up desired match with my current status as 'in relationship', is ridiculous.

I signed up and within one hour I had several messages. They all said the Same thing. "Wow you're beautiful! I really liked your profile, can you tell me more about yourself?" Then they ask for your phone number so they can text you. #1 I am not beautiful. #2 I hadn't even filled out my profile yet! They all have really good looking pics, they are all in Iraq or Afghanistan and all have very bad grammar. The one guy I talked to said he was from Oklahoma, widowed and Caucasian. His pic was clearly of a Hispanic man and his name was **! His phone number was a Chicago area code and as soon as I said this all sounds a little fishy to me, he said "Ok" and stopped communicating. Wow! So in one hour's time I got the heck off that site! Just scammers preying on lonely people! Stay away!

So many glitches and my account was invisible for a week. I sent to feedbacks until someone fixed the glitch. I think that after reading some of the other consumer stories that they have someone in their IT department randomly messing with member accounts. They seriously need to fix many things and vet out employees who treat consumers badly. Who is going to pay for an account when so many reviews say that a paid account is no better? Also why would I trust my monetary information with a company who has so many glitches and no way to contact them except through reviews? Seriously not giving you my cc card info...

I was approached by a service man who stated he was getting deployed to Syria. Upon his deployment finish he was going to Ghana to pick up the boy he adopted. In Ghana, he stated his credit card would not be unlocked and he needed money for documents regarding adoption documentation on bringing son home. This scammer was very good. He pulled at my heart strings about his son needing a family. I sent money and if I would have seen this website I would have known the destination was the biggest scam site. BEWARE OF THIS WEBSITE.

Latest release removed name search function. New picture scrolling has severe problems. Speed is very slow now to access messages or any functions.

First time tried this site. I warned a man who contacted me to communicate off of the site by offering me his personal email and phone #. I told him that he should not do so. To my surprise, he reported me and my profile was permanently disabled by OkCupid. I did nothing wrong rather than trying to follow the rules and help OkCupid, but I was banned from the site.

Constant bugs/Glitches. Where you can't log on. The worst was after the most recent android update April 2015 in android playstore. Oddly I could log on but I was basically hidden. I saw I was getting notes via pop ups... But no messages in my inbox. I was there but kinda like invisible. I sent a few complaints. One nice staff member ** got back to me and said he fixed the issue. And he DID! But... then I got a note the next day from one named **. Wow. He said the problem was that I had been harassing members. What?!?! I get harassed daily from creepy men and even have had some be so abusive they have made me cry. And I report them often. So he says I was blacklisted!!! Umm no I was still logging on. But this guy actually then blacklisted me!!!

This site is full of scam artist. I would not trust the men. All I have gotten are fakes saying they are military in Iraq.

I sign up for Okc and most of the messages were from creeps. I reported few of them. I got nasty response from the Okc team, stupid of course. It was my first time in that ridiculous site. OKC should be shut down. I was talking to some guy, as a result I got scammed and the only way I noticed was when I type his fake profile name in google and it was there. People DO NOT join online dating site at all. Dating sites are full of scammers. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.

I subscribed to the site. Found a person that I thought I would like to meet, his former wife had died and there were no children. He claimed he was an pipe engineer and was going over to the Indian Ocean to lay pipe under the oil rig to be able to pump oil. However, once he got over there everything kept coming up such as equipment being held at customs, he lost his wallet, he went to board the plane to come back to the US and he was arrested for trying board a plane for the US without paying his workers. He had cried several times. I thought this was real, he had me. By time I got done "helping him and his problems trying to get home" that I ended up giving him around $4000.00. He never did come back, text anymore or anything. His name he called himself is **.

Like a million times. When I start talking to a guy I like I disable my account for a couple of days to see if we are compatible. Is this a reason to tell me we are having "technical troubles"? Why is this site working so horribly? I have had this problem like a million times. How could we solve this? User ** and I AM FOR REAL.

After repeated reports to the online dating site, OkCupid, results in vetting scammers go unchecked. Just yesterday, I was once again contacted by a Mr. ** to pay his Nigerian hospital bill of $600.00. This will be his 3rd attempt to extract funds from me. He is a menace, even using a female posing as his daughter, to elicit sympathy. I have totally stopped any online website activity.

I recently had a bad experience with a more prominent dating site that rhymes with catch. Why do these people continue to get away with operating as scam artists? They offer a service and there should be guidelines to these services going in. OKCupid is no more interested in me than the big guys. They want your money - that's it. It is not refundable. I detected scamming ie, phony profile under a week of being on the other site. Thought I would try OKCupid but they have the same lack of interest. No customer service. No help. No proper screening. They should be shut down. I would never depend on these sites for companionship AND certainly not trust. I am now fighting to get back my subscription. Come on people. Don't cave. If you didn't get what you want in service then fight back!

I've been a member for about 2 months, and I've joined a few sites, as with many others OkCupid has a lot of robot profiles. The profiles are pretty obvious, they will have a few pictures stolen from Facebook or somewhere then have like 500 questions answered... or none. Also they will have conflicting information in their bio like, "I like to work out" then "Favorite food: ice cream or pizza". Or it will have a job like CNA referenced in the bio, then have administrative as the job type... Anyway, I digress.

I've been on this site for 4 weeks now. I can't believe how horrible this experience has been. A lot of the men that contacted me are just creeps. They want to meet at my house, but not in a public place. When I tell them no it's a public place or nothing they stop emailing me. I've also had men email inappropriate comments to me. I would think OKC would be able to have these men removed from the site. I also don't like how they match you. I have a date range of no younger than 38 and I've been matched with guys in their 20's. This is the only dating site I've ever tried, and I don't think I'll be anymore.

It's been 2 months since I'm trying to log in to my OKC account. It says staff robot meltdown check back later. I tried creating other accounts but it doesn't work. What is the problem? I cannot get in touch with the staff either because there is no option. Please help.

I met a man on March 7th on okcupid. His name was **. ** something was his user name. He posted a picture of himself siting in a chair with a kitten in his lap. Well, within a week he was head over heals in love with me and a few days after that was asking for money. He said he was a doctor working overseas in Syria and was having some financial glitches in his pay. He needed help with things like toothbrush, toothpaste and so on. He said that $300.00 dollars would fix him right up. Against my better judgement I sent considerably less. I knew in my gut it was wrong but on that one percent chance I was wrong I went ahead.

I'm a woman who is frustrated with OKCupid for deleting my account for no reason. I've had my account for 1 day, only replied to messages (nothing sexual or spams - honest), been on 1 date. This has happened months ago. I assume I've been reported by a bitter person I did not respond to, but given OKC doesn't respond to my email, who knows? No customer service. Don't pay for an account because you'll get randomly deleted.

I have been on here for some time now... Today went to go back in and all e-mails were deleted..could not send e-mails or make contact with anyone...could not get back into my profile..not a happy person at the moment because of the fact that I have been on here for years now.

Was with OK Cupid couple years. Finally went paid ($70 annually) membership for added search functions. They locked me out once before but after contacting Google Play, they worked to get me reinstated. This time I am currently a paid member, and as of a week ago, could not log-in. They refunded my money, and after writing to ask what I'd done, never heard from them again. I want back in, but they can apparently identify IP address and won't create another account.

There are numerous men stating they live in the US but they do not. They ask personal questions to spot who they can scam. They start by asking your personal email to exchange photos and other information but actually they want to get into your computer. This can lead to identity theft or they say they are temporarily doing a project in Africa and they need money.

OK. I have to give it to them that OKCupid. It's a pretty decent online dating social network. But besides that they make it so hard that you can actually make your account work. I had a profile several months ago and then they just shut down my profile without a notice or a warning or at least an explanation!! I opened a second profile, because I must admit I like the website very much, and now my profile is still active, but I cannot send or receive any messages and I have no longer visitors. I know you don't get visitors ALL the time, but I know how it works and I know I get a profile view once in a while. Obviously I sent an e-mail, but OKCupid doesn't answer. I've been reading all these comments and I think we all have pretty much the same issue, so... what's the deal? I really wanna know.

OkCupid has scammers and very few legit people. After going to the FBI dating scam site and learning about what these Nigerian or Russian scammers do and say, I recognized about 95% of the men contacting me were frauds. I even checked out a site where they posted scammers fake photos and many of the men from OkCupid were there. OkCupid doesn't even get rid of these guys from the site!

OKC staff does not remove the scammers fast enough. Considering that the moderators are chosen randomly by the "Staff Robot" it is no surprise.

It calls Humor Rainbow Inc.'s office in New York. They own OKCupid.

I've had an account with OKCupid for almost three years. Suddenly about three weeks ago unable to get into it. Same reason as everyone else. NO reason at all! Impossible to get back in and impossible to create new account. I was talking to a few lovely guys and to them it looks like I deleted my account... which I didn't. NO customer service! NO phone numbers to call. You try to change your password and the bot fails to send you a link. I had not violated any rules. I had not pissed anyone off. It appears to be totally random. I know they are connected to Match.com so do they really just kick people off in order to get them to pay for Match? I guess now my ip address is blocked which means I'll never get back on it. Terrible way to run a company and nobody to complain to or get answers from. Is it even legal to do this?

I created an account and did not break the terms of service, my account was deleted without cause and I still have not received a notice back from customer service and doubt that I will. I checked the better business bureau and filed a complaint with them as well. This company ignores the basics of internet security as well. They do not take their clients’ safety seriously as well, the least they could do, is provide customer service and some answers when requested to by the public. I ask that you please file a complaint with the BBB as they have an F rating as well, hopefully we can get their site shut down.

For all you women out there please be a look out for this e-mail address. His name is ** and he is a scammer. I tried to contact okcupid to report him but was unable to do so since my account has been deleted permanently (I was not an a list member). I wish I could post a picture of him. All I can say is he claims to be living in Adams, or but is currently out of the country in Africa, Ghana building orphanages and will be back in the states in about 3-months. He will ask you for your private e-mail address to get you off the dating site, and then when you tell him all about yourself he will tell you how much he loves you and wants to marry you and spend the rest of your lives together as one and can't wait to meet you and your family.

OKC has the best matching system of all sites I've been on. If you answer enough questions, and the person you are interested in does the same, you find out dealbreakers quickly. It is important to me that a potential mate be an atheist or agnostic with somewhat liberal political views, if he wants kids, or really likes camping (I make it clear I only camp at Camp Hilton). Hunting is also a dealbreaker. Scammers, etc., are on every site. POF is worthless, too little info. Match seems directed toward young people. Chemistry was a complete joke because if they don't find what you are looking for or where, they send profiles of people in other states, don't consider religion. I never had a single match, and they gave me my unused money back. Ourtime: not edgy enough and not for atheists or liberals. Of all the sites I am on or have been on, OKC is the absolute best for matching. I find that if I look at profiles less than 80%, that guy is not for me.

This is the same situation I've read below. Twice now OKC has deleted my profile, aka listed it as "system error" or any of their other excuses, with no explanation at all. Like other contributors, I've had absolutely zero luck getting a hold of anyone from the site. I have occasionally come across a scammer, but my profile was respectful and done tastefully (no shirtless photos). No excuse, no explication, and now I've had this happen twice. Awful site.

I have been a member of the site for a couple months now. My story is very similar to that of many who have already written their comments here. On about 4 or 5 different occasions I have started a conversation with a woman; it went back and forth and all the sudden their profile was deleted. The first or second time I thought maybe they just blocked me or by mistake deleted their profile. But when it kept happening I started to find it a bit odd.

The site is full of scammers who want to move you off the site immediately and get your email and Skype account number for the purposes of hacking and scamming. Sob stories to wire money to them and manipulate the vulnerable abound. Many claim to be recent widows or away in Afghanistan. Common things in fake men's profiles: They often check Native American as they think that means American born. They post either ridiculously low salaries or huge ones. Occupations that are often listed are engineering, construction or the military. Most select Christianity and very serious about it.

My account is inaccessible and appears to have been deleted for no reason. OKC does not answer emails nor do they provide any type of reason that your account was deleted. This is super poor customer service for a paying customers. I would avoid this site like the plague.

Difficult to contact or unsubscribe their service - continued billing.

This site is used by the guys looking for sex only/99%/.They don't even to care to read about your profile or learn your name, the majority of them are ruthless sex crazied weirdos on a prowl for one night stands. They are lying from everything from their relationship status to age to occupation to income to drug and alcohol habits etc. I put in my profile that I am looking for exclusive monogamous long term relationship, yet as long as I started talking to few of them, I was forwarded naked pictures with close ups of erections on my E-mail. Is that site some kind of ** hub that I am not aware of?

I was Googling for a phone number for OkCupid and found this site, and I see that many people are having the same problem I'm having. I had a profile on OkC for at least 10 years. I was even a paid A-list member for a few months this year. I was corresponding with lots of people lately. And then suddenly, this week I couldn't log in. Every time I tried, it said "Technical problems. Try again later." Or "Staff Robot had a meltdown. Try again later." But it's never worked again. A few women have emailed and Facebooked me, saying that it says my OkCupid profile has been deleted.

A guy with a cute picture (now I wonder if it was really him) messaged me on the site, then called and texted for a couple of months. He got "involved" very quickly but I kept my distance because I hadn't met him. He said he was working on a mining project in the Ukraine and was nearly finished with it. Then things started to go wrong on his project and finally he asked me for 14,000 Euros to help him out! I hung up immediately. I'm putting in all this detail because he can easily change his username but because his story was so detailed it's likely he'll keep using it. Hope this helps someone else avoid being scammed.

OKcupid moderators deleted my account that was in existence for years. I did not use it for a long time, and as soon as I began using it and started having some success it got deleted. I created a new one, which wasn't easy because they block devices from creating a new account. Not to mention this conniving practice where they simply generate a log-on error asking you to "try again later" instead of letting you know that you have been deleted. One day later the new account was deleted. No phone numbers, no email listed. The umbrella company is IAC told me that OKC is operated by Match.com. When calling Match.com they deny that they run OKcupid; say that they are too an umbrella corporation and have no access to OKC, and that the only contact they do have is support@okcupid.com. They don't reply to emails ever. Sadistic.

I was on Ok Cupid for about a week. I reported at least 15 scammers to them. The number is probably closer to 20-25 actually. They got rid of a few of them, but not all. I emailed them twice about one profile. It took me maybe a minute to figure out that they were scammers. Google Image Search did most of the work for me. In some of the other profiles, just reading their messages was enough to let me know they were scammers. Poor grammar was obvious to me. I not only reported these profiles to them, but also emailed them twice regarding this. I heard back in regards to one of my emails with a pathetic apology...if that's what you want to call it.

There are so many fake profiles on this website. I get more scammer emails from people who are overseas and such. Some of these scammers are very sophisticated and have set up Facebook Pages to match a 'name'. You can tell by the improper English and grammar mistakes that the sites are fake. It's kind of sad that OKCupid does this. They are owned by Match.com and with that being said - Match.com pads its website with fake profiles also. I have notified Match.com with profiles that I know are fake. They have yet (6 months now) to take them down. I won't deal with any of these websites again.

So many scammers and okcupid does nothing. They actually deleted my profile cause I reported so many scammers.

I've been on this site on and off for about a year. Today I clicked on the OkCupid icon via mobile and it said I needed to log in. Granted, I never logged out. After several attempts with the same message of sorry, staff robot had a meltdown. Try again later. I googled that and find out my account was deleted. I got no warning, no reason why, nothing. I deserve a reason or some explanation as to why. I sent a message through their feedback, but as others have stated here, I highly doubt they will respond. I think I'll file a complaint with the BBB.

The only services that actually work are the ones you pay for, while they boast of being a "free" website. Accounts arbitrarily deleted, with no explanation. "Feedback" -- forget it. Support/Help - Keep dreaming. It seems that the people who run Ok Cupid are sadists. They run the site to annoy and aggravate their own customers and there is absolutely NO WAY to communicate with them. Please avoid using Ok Cupid.

OkCupid deleted my account without telling me why. At very least I should have the opportunity to go in and delete all my info so that OkCupid doesn't use it for any purposes. They have no contact phone number but they are owned by the same company that owns Match.com. Their customer service number is 800-926-2824. I suggest we all call that number to lodge complaints.

I joined OkCupid a few weeks ago. I've said hello or pressed their button saying I've visited a woman's profile. I've said hello to several women. I was told by a very nice woman, whom I wrote an original hello to, that the website flagged me as a scammer who copied and pasted the same identical hello repeatedly to everyone. Thus, I was wasting my time and money having no idea they could say such a thing, very wrong & untrue. When I contacted customer service to correct this error they did not return my message. Not one member complained to me for my 3-4 line hellos written after reading each bio.

I've been an active Okcupid member for several years, and always thought very highly of the site. I've been on several dates, and had correspondence with many more. A few days ago, the log-in screen came up on the app, which never happens. When I entered my log-in information, it says the staff robot had a meltdown. When I use the website it says my log-in information is wrong, so I try password retrieval and it says my account doesn't exist! A confirmation from a friend still on the site says "This user has disabled their account." Okcupid has yet to respond to my query and I'm pretty upset about it.

I have tried to login to my OKCUPID account several times in the last 3 days, and it keeps telling me that "sorry, staff Robot had a meltdown." My sister has no issues logging on to his account and when she tried looking up my profile it said my profile, **, no longer exists. I've written 2 messages to you already and haven't heard any response back as to what the problem is and how long I should expect to wait for it to be fixed. I'm inconvenienced as I was mid conversation with someone and only joined OKC a couple of days ago. This is the second enrollment I do in this dating site in One week, due to OKCUPID finished my membership with no explanation. Question, is there any okcupid strategy to make people to pay or otherwise they will stop the service?

I was banned for trying to prevent identity theft. Be very careful, I do not think Okcupid even screens for fraudulent accounts. It seems very unfair to be banned for trying to prevent identity theft for myself and others. I'm trying to get back on Okcupid, but I cannot find any number to contact a person to plead my case. They didn't even contact me to discuss this issue. I have read numerous others that have had similar issues as mine.

That site purpose is for people to get sex easy only. Most (99% guys) are not honest in their answers and purposes. Guys ask you to send pics showing your body and so on, be careful. Most the questions from OKCupid are immoral, it's disgusting.

I was a member for only two days. I was answering what seemed like an endless amount of questions to finish my profile. When extremely personal questions were asked about my sexual preferences I was skipping them. Then there is was...."do you have a rape fantasy?" question! I wrote to them with no reply. I asked them just what type of dating site they were running. It made my stomach sick and I became very angry. Beware...every guy that messaged me didn't bother to even fill out the basic questions. I will be reporting them to anyone and everyone that will listen.

My account has been deleted and I'm sure this is a technical problem or unreasonable problem just because I am an Iranian citizen. My password was strong enough. My OkCupid account is still connected to Facebook and this is a proof! When I enter my email to reset my password, it says "No account found for that username." What makes me angry is I can't report this problem to their support, cause there is no support!

My profile was deleted by OkCupid in just 1 day after I set it up, with no reason, no warning. It said "tech problem" until I found out they deleted it. I tried to register with other emails or with other browsers, no success. What should I do? No phone number, no respond from email.

I have been a consumer of OKCupid for several years. In the past couple months, I received emails from OKC for matches and something that said that we both listed that we liked each other's profile. I tried to be polite and contact most anyone who wrote me and if we were not a match, that I appreciated their interest in my profile, but I didn't feel we were a match.

The site has been down for almost 24 hours now. There is no customer service number you can call and no human to speak to. They are saying that their system is up on one screen but then when you go to log in, it states they're having technical problems. I have sent the HELP desk 4 messages and tried to log on from 3 different computers and it is certainly NOT on my end. I am at my wits end as all I want to do is to delete this pathetic site as it shameful as to what type of people they try to hook you up with. Most of the time, they are felons and I just want OFF like yesterday but can't get any help from anyone.

Like several others, my account was also deleted but, they did tell me why. I also did pay for a A-List account. "Your account was deleted because of inappropriate profile pictures you uploaded. If you were subscribed to A-List, we refunded your credit card for a prorated amount based on the time remaining in your A-List subscription. If you would like to contact us, visit **."

OkCupid deleted my profile twice for no reason at all. I had notifications from the site in my email address, but when I went to log in it said tech difficulties. I waited for a while and all day it wouldn't let me log in. Luckily, I met a lady and got her phone number before it happened and she told me that it said I deleted or disabled my profile which was a blatant LIE!!!!! I think their endorsers should be contacted about this. I read several complaints like mine. If we contact their endorsers, they will lose money. Endorsers pay them to advertise to us. If they keep deleting people, there's no advertising.

Seems to me there is a ratio of 500 wonderful people to 5 people that are either completely out of their minds or have no sense of humor whatsoever... but their moderators listen to the 5. Generally known as petty dictators. Nuff said.

It was recently on a Dateline/60 Minutes program. OkCupid collects and then sells your information to other companies. Possibly why everyone is being deleted is because they have captured your info and interests and no longer need you? Just a thought.

Same as everyone else - they deleted my account for no reason whatsoever. I'd only been on the site for maybe a week, hadn't yet put up any pics or profile into, but was talking to several people. Then the account was deleted. Seems like a scumbag company/site. Avoid.

They deleted my account with no reason given to me. There was nothing controversial in my pictures or profile information, either. You send them emails asking them why they did it, and you never get an answer.

So... I haven't had any disrespectful, harassing conduct. I had, as many, 2 pictures with my kids. Honestly didn't knew was disapproved. After having canceled the pictures, licit, it did also canceled the whole account. On the email I sent out afterward, I got this message: "Your account was deleted because of inappropriate profile pictures you uploaded." It frankly seems exaggerate having seen what other people puts out there. But I know they can be kinda callous. Though before they ask you to put a ton of work in your profile, then they cancel it... I think there was some sort of discriminatory attitude.

I was listed on OK Cupid for one day before being deleted with no reason given.

My account was deleted with no warning or explanation. I have sent multiple emails to them inquiring as to the reason and have yet to receive a response. I was even a subscriber to A list for years. Very unprofessional site.

I had the OkCupid account for a while and always got bullying message from crazy people. So yesterday when I got another bullying message from a stranger who got infuriated after he read my profile and noticed that he might not be someone that I'm looking for, I decided to take a screenshot of what he wrote me and I posted what he wrote on my profile picture and I reported that to OkCupid. But instead OkCupid tried to protect me as a victim. They right away deleted my account. I wrote them at least three emails with this incident and also attached the screenshot of this crazy stranger's nasty message but they did not reply at all and just ignored me. OkCupid is letting those bullies barking like rabid dogs on other innocent users and let them run free while blocking the innocent ones. If anyone who want to sue this website, I'll be joining!

This site (Okcupid.com) claims to be totally free. However, when I received, via my email, that someone is interested, Okcupid.com wants me to subscribe before I can see their message.

OkCupid for an unknown reason blocked my access to the site, and then eliminated my pics and profile. Days before when this happened last week, I had gone out with a woman who didn't like my politics. I passed it off. She was a Tea Partier. I'd just told her I didn't necessarily want to talk politics (this being a first date). Plus, I paid for a good part of the evening. Then she must have complained with some other story to OkCupid, and shortly thereafter they "eliminated" me. I couldn't get access, and a subsequent date with someone else told me my profile was no longer accessible. I had no recourse with OkCcupid. They would not clarify and would not respond to emails. They just eliminated me like the governments did to people in Latin America in the 60's.

Yesterday, I could not get access to my OkCupid page. I can't get my password. Every time I put in my email, it says internal error. OkCupid does not respond to complaints.

I joined a free dating website called www.okcupid.com, which installs an app to the iPhone and creates a profile on the web. I created a profile ** and used it for a year and recently, I met a woman who was clearly crazy, and talked to Officer ** of the Vernon Township Police Department in Vernon NJ 07462. This woman then made multiple fake profiles and logged in with them to report my profile, then logged out, and deleted the profiles. I would like my access created and given back to me. I did not violate the OKCupid terms of service or TOS, nor did I violate their own conditions and terms of use.

I recently found out that an individual by the username of ** is using my photos on a dating website called OkCupid.com without my consent. I'm very uncomfortable with this. So, immediately, I tried to report the user through the website but nothing was handled. To enable this user's profile to be deleted, there must be a certain number of flags on her profile. I attempted to flag the user and I got some of my friends to do the same as well. I attempted to message the individual but the mailbox is currently full so I was unable to do so. I then emailed one of the staff members about the situation and they have yet to answer me back. This all took place on April 17th. The profile is still up and active. I wish to have the pictures removed immediately or the profile deleted.

On January 26, 2011 on okcupid.com, I was surprised with an email stating my photos were reported and deleted off the site. I couldn't understand why, I followed proper guidelines. To my next surprise, I received an email from a mature woman stating my profile is featured in another okcupid user's journal by the name Daavee, titled "And the psycho profile award goes to..." Once you clicked on that title, it would direct you to my personal page. I was enraged and afraid. I begged the user to please remove me from his page that he had no business with me. Instead I had to deal with comments full of profanity, abuse, and threats. Along with the my stolen photo being exposed and exploited for no reason, he made a link by the name "this is a mustache" in the journal and when you click this link, my photo appears.
