Zoosk Reviews

I finally decided to subscribe to Zoosk after a couple of months of creating an account. Within less than 4 hours I had my account locked by an administrator for posting a picture in my new profile of an artwork in which nudity was depicted. I didn't realize that artistic nudity was not allowed. However, I have now been permanently banned from Zoosk for an image that was removed. I think that is a little overkill since it was removed and I now understood that it was in violation of their policy. They did say they would refund my subscription but that I could no longer be a customer.

I have tried other online dating sites which were all disappointing but Zoosk was by far the worst. I must have sent 100 likes, messages, and smiles to women I thought was attractive. It was like a ghost town. There were about 3-4 overweight women that contacted me of which I said hello. I am not an unattractive man. I have never had any problems striking up a conversation with women before, so I know better than that. I can't quite put my finger on the treatment people give each other on these sites, especially Zoosk.

I have a paid membership and have used their service for a few months but every feature they offer they want you to pay more money whereas other date sites include all the same features in the monthly membership. I think it is wrong that they send auto views and messages trying to hook you into paying for another membership after you cancel. They are expensive enough without paying more for every little thing. Once my membership is expired I will now ever use this site again.

Zoosk is not worth the time or money. You can put in all your preferences (age range, body type, ethnicity, relative distance to you, etc.) yet when it comes time to do the Carousel (where almost 100 random women are presented for a Yes or No selection) most of the women (and men probably as well) do not fit your criteria at all. Furthermore, the ones you say NO to on Carousel, will reappear the next time you play another round. It's just a shotgun approach of throwing any and everything at you, regardless of your preferences. It's a big waste of your time. There are probably better websites worth your time.

Be aware that the site manipulates the members. It informs you of interested viewers when no such thing is occurring. Case in point, I happen to be up at 4AM and I’m notified others are viewing. Obviously fabricated since it is not true that others would be online at this time. I was notified that 5 people checked my profile. Total **, whose up at 3 in the morning and certainly not 5 interested! I sent a note to confirm if they were online....crickets! Same level of crickets when you express interest in members. Find another dating site because this one flat out sucks!

I was blocked from Zoosk and they said I had activity on my account and I feel someone was using my account. I did not do it and I feel it was unfair. I do not have another email and I want this to be fix and resolved. I feel it was a misunderstanding as well. I want to file a complaint. My email was blocked.

DO NOT USE THIS SITE!!! It is a scam. I signed up for 6 months with a special discount. After loading and using my profile, I determined the following: They do not follow the search criteria you list. Some of their recommendations are hundreds of miles away and out of your suggested age range. Many of the profiles (particularly attractive women) are no longer in effect, thus you get no response from the notes you send. Then Zoosk keeps telling you that the ones you tried to contact, or just viewed, have viewed you.

Simply another unscrupulous with automatic renewals, difficult navigating the site in order to cancel. They bait one with fake profiles and messages in luring you in towards subscribing or renewing. This is a bait and switch and I'm perplexed nobody has taken them to task with a class action legal case. I will be pursuing this in San francisco CA. If many of you would like to join please message me.

Zoosk sends daily emails that are pure lies. When confronted, their response was "We appreciate what you're saying. Just ignore the lies." Write an honest profile that conforms to their guidelines... If they don't like it, they'll gladly turn it into a lie for you. I'm rapidly coming to the suspicion that zoosk is just another scam site that is nothing but mind games.

Constantly received notices of women supposedly interested in me that I didn't like despite my submitted preferences. Tried to cancel but wasn't allowed. Zoosk charged a renewal fee despite my cancellation...I removed my billing info from my account and was billed anyway. Zoosk is a very dishonest site.

I cancel this account and because I didn’t keep the cancellation notice they thought they could just charge me again and they did so be careful this is a scam. I canceled my account and they still charged me.

This site is simply designed to take your money and give nothing of value in return. They even charged an activation fee of $25-really? $80 for nothing. Even with the search filter set for local woman, they give you profiles of women who live 400-4000 miles away. I believe many profiles are outdated and just kept there as bait- usually attractive women, which, not surprisingly, are rare. Twice, there was a third-party "cupid/matchmaker" woman, telling me that that someone was "crushing on me" but too shy to contact me. She told me she was getting off the site because she had found someone and was getting married, but her friend who lived in Regina (like me) was looking over her shoulder (in Ottawa) and really liked me.

Zoosk used to be a good site. Now you cannot search a grid... only 1 at a time, so this forces a view and notifies others. Very deceiving. Hopefully, they read these and will improve. Please add the grid back.

Terrible website. Terrible service. They are taking advantage of lonely people. It’s expensive and the matches have no relationship to my profile. Stay clear of Zoosk. They have discouraged me of ever trying any other dating sites.

I paid pretty much $100 to subscribe to the site and now I find out you have to purchase credits on top of the $100 to see if someone has read your message or to read theirs. This site is nothing, but a money grabbing scam. Do not subscribe to this site. At first I just browsed the site and some local profiles. Then I started getting notifications that so and so viewed you. I checked out the profiles and then I started getting all these Zoosk notifications that so and so messaged you. So after seeing about a dozen people sent me messages I decided to subscribe and replied to every message I supposedly got and have never got 1 response back.

I just spent $400 to have my computer cleaned up after being hacked. The date the hackers IP address appeared on my computer coincided with when I created a Zoosk account. After much effort I found a phone number to Zoosk customer service and after explaining my situation they confirmed as much. They indicated they had suspended accounts and were aware of the specific issues. Really? This was the only dating site I’ve used, was active for 3 weeks when I deleted my Zoosk account, and also deleted my email account associated with the site. As far as the dating connections, they do a lousy job of screening and don’t follow stated preferences.

Pros,

They charged my bank account twice within an hour when I never gave permission to make that transaction. Someone hacked into my account with a different address other than my own. The site is not safe, secure or private.

Zoosk does many dishonest things. They send you "new members" who are old member. They invade each member's privacy by telling other members that you viewed them and vise versa. They have no notice price increases. They post members representing that they are active when they are not. They tell you people want to meet you, who do not want to meet you. They don't care about fraud if it gets them more business opportunities.

I joined Zoosk about three weeks ago. I signed up for three months and also paid for enhanced messaging. Cost about $100. About a week ago, Zoosk blocked me without giving any reason. So now I am unable to message or receive messages. I would choose another site as I believe they are manipulating their subscribers. Match is much better!

I've only been on the site a few months, have made contact with two men that were completely military romance scams. Zoosk should do a better job validating profiles. These men indicated they were in the military, used fake pictures, included children, said their wife was deceased, kid has a nanny and they asked for money. It's heartbreaking to go through. Not to mention the fact that I do not feels safe now, these men said they were deployed in Syria on "peacekeeping missions". I never knew this was an epidemic until now. Ladies - beware the man that falls for you instantly. And if ANYONE asks for money, start doing your research. I feel horrible for the marine whose pic was used, they play into your love of country pretending to be in the military.

It sends messages from other members without their knowledge or consent. Maybe that they are no longer members. Matches me up with members that didn't want matched on their carousel. Repeatedly sends notifications of views from the same people day after day. What a waste of time.

I had joined paid my money wrote my profile had only been on about a week and I was hacked by someone. I immediately sent an email to the administrators, their customer service telephone number doesn’t work so you have to send an email, about an hour later I tried to log on to see if I had any answers from them and they had blocked me instead of the hacker. But of course they’ve kept my money.

Constantly received notices of women supposedly interested in me that I didn't like despite my submitted preferences. Tried to cancel but wasn't allowed. Zoosk charged a renewal fee despite my cancellation...horrible customer service.

I unsubscribed to Zoosk as directed. A few days later, my account was charged again. I do not recommend this dating site. One individual who I had a conversation with, sent a nasty message. Beware!!

I've been on site for about four years. Have met one member in all of that time that just wasn't what we wanted ... Zoosk will ignore your desired mates and send what I think are fake, model like profile pics expressing interest, which is not what I'm searching for thankfully...or sell you their "Boosted" membership. Your profile will appear before anyone else's which I think a waste of money??? More importantly, found out this week that poor members cannot "block" Boosted members at all! You will think they are blocked until they suddenly reappear in your Messages box the very next day. This went on for weeks before I reached out to Zoosk expressing my concerns as I was clearly becoming harassed by a man I was blocking daily...choosing the "harassment" entry as my reason.

I have not used this website in years, I'm in a happy relationship. Yet they still let my information be hacked in January and did not notify me. I found out from a website called you've been pawned. I'm outraged.

Tried to set this up, and was told I had an account already. Had deleted it a couple years ago, but apparently they neglected to delete it, just inactivated it. Then realized, despite other glowing reviews online, you cannot message for free. Or even see who messaged you. Or what they said. So updated my 'story' to reflect that I would not be upgrading because of the untruthful reviews, and they sent me an email saying they had 'approved" my 'story update.' Which is to say, they completely deleted what I had written about not upgrading. Twice. No bad language, not sexually explicit, not violent - but deleted anyway. Bye bye Zoosk!

I signed up as a premium paying member. Quickly learned that most profiles were fake. Zoosk uses not so honest means to get you to think their other members are legit. Trust me. There is more fakes than real. After I answered to one of their fake profiles about my honesty in sharing my thoughts about their dishonesty, they blocked my account, yet they kept my money. Your decision.

ZOOSK is one of the more affordable dating sites but the quality, function and especially poor customer service reflect the lower cost. I'm on three dating sites and ZOOSK has by far been the least effective. Even though you paid, they have these little scams within the site which force you to buy coins to see profiles. The funny part is, that there is a workaround to that using the search option or clicking on their profiles when they are online.

I plan on making this one of the lengthier reviews you have probably come across, so be prepared for an essay, folks. I am writing a longer review because I feel the need to provide readers with the most details so they can avoid making the same mistakes I have made in my time dealing with Zoosk. For those who may not want to read the full review, however, here is an abridged version: avoid Zoosk if you are looking to join an online dating site. There are FAR better options out there. With that said, we can now segue into the unabridged version. Enjoy!

They have responded with a refund.

I joined as a premium member 2 months ago. I am sincerely disappointed with this site and the connections and contacts I have received. Many of these men are not really interested in meeting anyone real. They mostly want to text a few times and chat. Then they are on to the next. The site matches you with members regardless of your preferences and distance requirements. I also believe they keep a large database of members in their carousel feature who are no longer active to show a huge choice of men that no longer exist. Don't waste your time or money on this dating site as it's a sham.

I recently joined Zoosk, but disappointed. When they send you matches the mileage is always off by at 25 miles. You don’t know the person's zodiac sign unless they send you your 10 daily picks/matches. Worst part is not being able to access the site from anywhere on my mobile phone. All other dating sites this is possible, but not Zoosk.

I had signed up for this service back in 2016. I never signed up for the premium subscription, and had just created a free profile. I received a notification that a man had viewed my profile and had also sent a message indicating that he wanted to chat. This was a good looking man who also lived in my small town. When I clicked on it, it immediately prompted me for payment to see his message. I decided to forget about it, but was still interested in seeing his message. A few days later, I see his profile on another dating site that I belonged to, that does allow free messaging back and forth. I decided to say hello, to him, and send a message. I received absolutely no response whatsoever. So I'm convinced that Zoosk used this man's profile to send a fake message, in order to get me to cough up some cash.

I have been a member of the Zoosk dating site for some six months. Today (20 June 2020) I attempted to log into my account only to find that I could no longer access my account. Mind you that I had subscribed to this site. I call the customer service number to complain that my account has been hacked but only to find out that Zoosk had discounted my account. The individual that I was speaking to was from a foreign country because I couldn’t understand her English. Which by the way, makes the customer service interaction even more frustrating. I asked her why my account was disable. She gave me an explanation that I couldn’t understand a word that she stated. I wouldn’t advise anyone to subscribe to this dating site. With all the scammers on the site Zoosk disabled my account without any explanation. Buyer be aware.

I've been on Zoosk for about a month and I have quickly figured out it's full of old profiles. Not only that, when you write something in a chat with another member that Zoosk doesn’t like you writing about, it automatically disappears. If you want to be censored when trying to legitimately chat with someone and let them know about yourself, then this is the site for you. I feel Zoosk is a waste of time and money, I would recommend doing business elsewhere. Zoosk doesn’t want people to know the truth about their poorly run fraudulent dating site. Again, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!

In an attempt to entice me to subscribe to a membership, they submitted a picture of a female along with her details that were contrived. The interests she indicated too closely paralled my expressed interests so much so that it was evident that this person was contrived. There just is no other person with so much similar interests. Watch out folks and don't get suckered in.

In February 2013 I met my husband after connecting on Zoosk. Love their website and so happy my husband and I met. I love how you can see the pictures on the profiles and you can show interest in the person.

All dating sites are suspect, and Zoosk has a limited amount of eligible men who are decent and acceptable. The same people have been on this site for three plus years, or they simply haven't removed their profile. The cost is a little high, but probably in line with the other sites.

Your account is messed up all the time and it sends automatic robot messages, you get very little response from members, then when you cancel your subscription, wow in 24 hours you all the sudden have 80 members interested in you and messaging you, but as soon as you renew your membership, they are no longer there. This is the worse fake members dating site ever.. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY. Plus if you write something in your profile that they don't like, whoops, it automatically disappears, they don't want people to know the truth about their poorly fraudulent dating site.

Have you ever wondered why you send out so many messages but get no answers. I've been on Zoosk for about a year and a half and figure out pretty quick it's full of old profiles. I decided to hang in because I figure most of them must be real, but I no longer believe this. Do I have any proof of this other than what I believe is true. So here it is, I found my step sister's profile on Zoosk several times over the year and a half and I asked her about it the first time I saw her profile. She replied, "Oh no I was only on there a quick second, why?" Since then a friend asked me about my sister because he thought she was seeing someone, and she is sooo... Safe to say old/fake profiles are left up whether you like it or not, I would Not. I feel Zoosk was a waste of time and money, I recommend doing business elsewhere.

Zoosk search system favors those with good looking person on the image even though we cannot tell if it is authentic or not. I have uploaded my authentic photo and it is not really having any effect on the quality of women which I felt so so low in ranking compared to me. Matching is not really good.

This site just wants money! Felt like it was a escort service more than a dating app everything is asking for money telling you this person is interested and once you pay that's not true once you give your email and information the emails are overwhelming to say the least I think its a scam I took it down but to find out my profile is still there

Attractive older men but there is nothing but teasers unless you join. Also, most too distant from the City. I would pay to join if they would go into more detail instead of superficial format. Rarely does someone reveal anything personal about himself.

A couple of years ago, I found myself being single again. Eventually I started looking at dating sites, more out of curiosity than looking to find a relationship. I signed up with Zoosk as there a lot of woman locally who use the site. Had a free trial to explore the site and send messages. After the trial period ended, I could still access parts of the site...but like all other dating sites out there...the subscription fees became cost prohibitive.

I've the last year this company has charged both my credit card and PayPal but they apparently have no record of that. I have been attempting to contact them for months now with no thorough replies or resolution in sight. They claim to not have the PayPal charges on their records and refuse to refund my overcharges. I will continue to report and review until a solution is brought up.

I don’t believe enough is being done to keep scammers off the site. It is especially significant for older women. I believe the site should have better information available to older women to help alert them to communication that is typical for scammers.

This site looked promising, but like the majority it falls short. Process of acknowledging interest and follow up leaves a lot to be desired. Some responses were promising and others were middle-school like. Even for a well established man like me, very disappointing.

I have just started using this site, and for a senior citizen it seems to have many features that would filter out bad matches. There seems to be many sites that are more interested in making money for the developers, and not helping any that is looking for someone to date.

My membership to this site was expire the next day. My membership was removed one day before. All I asked this company was to allow me one hour to wish friends best wishes. The company coldly stated if I’d renew my membership I could do so. This company owes me just one day, all I asked for was one hour. This is company is truly Disgusting making money with those desiring someone special. Discussing.

Beware. There are literally maybe 5-10% real women on the site, if that. They immediately will give you some kind of story about how their account is fixing to expire and ask for your email or phone #. They lay it on thick about how attracted to you they are and how whatever is in your perfect match details is them to a T. So far not one I have connected with even has a phone # in the same state and they immediately start sending you pics hoping that you will download them and get whatever trojan they are sending your way.

Using this app is much like window shopping. There's no clever algorithm to assist in matching like minded individuals. The few categories for self description, if actually answered by participants, are for the viewer to consider individually as left to the participants to basically describe themselves based on three categories: my story, my perfect match, and my ideal date. Many do not share anything or very little.

Glitchy and laden with fake profiles. Once you sign up, you are presented with a seemingly never-ending series of pictures of women who look 20 and their profile says their (enter your age group). Also appears to have robotic "looked at your profile" kind of functions that make it look like members are actually looking you over...however, very few of these profiles really communicate. The real members I have met on this website laugh about how abysmal it is, that most of the profiles are fake, and that they definitely will not renew. That tells you everything you need to know.

I was unable to find anyone for me but I did find a couple of friends in other cities that I still speak with weekly. The ladies in this area were more interested in texting rather than meeting someone in person. I can say that a few were really nice and offered to meet but I wasn't interested in them.

You constantly get emails of specific matches yet when you click the link you are taken to the rate match site. Constantly adding back people in the viewed tab that you manually remove, yet they are still showing as days old.

Zoosk is a great dating website that I feel for the cost filters out many of the people you would not want to meet on a free dating website. Seems to have more quality people than other sites I have been on.

Like all dating sites, Zoosk is limited on being able to protect women, and there's a fair share of fake profiles. That said, it had higher quality matches than other sites I've tried (Bumble, OKC) and was a fairly easy and intuitive interface to use.

I like(d) Zoosk a lot. I joined in April 2020 and was finding very acceptable profiles I was interested in. All the sudden my account stopped working after I received a message within the app from someone claiming their friend was interested in me to click to see their picture. (If you get one of these dont click on it). The message came from within the Zoosk app so I never thought it was a problem. After that I could not log in so I changed my password, and got in on my phone but it wouldnt let me on any other device.

Zoosk is no doubt the worst dating website ever. As a man seeking a woman, I found many of the women to be bots that simply cannot put a sentence together. It is an absolute waste of time to communicate with no one. Do not use this site. It is a complete scam. I am fortunate enough to receive a full refund but others may not be so lucky. Buyer Beware.

Have been on this site for approximately 2 years. I am finding that 99% of the men stating they are widows are not. Statistically speaking women outlive men yet there are so many men (generally always good looking) that claim to be widowed and are between the ages of 58 to 63. The general story is have one or two kids not at home, one out of the country at a college, etc. or with another relative either overseas or in the U.S. (for Canadian sub-scribers).

This is the most terrible thing or a group I have ever paid in other to achieve something. Couple of months ago I had a very terrible breakup so I was desperately looking for a way out with a new relationship so I registered at Zoosk and subscribed after restricted to send like or message to any lady so I subscribed for a month £30. The short of the story is please stay away from this Zoosk. They’re fraudster. They restrict you for liking or sending messages saying you’ve reach your limit of sending like or messages. AND how’s that possible after I have paid money.

To begin with even if you Pay to join they still attempt to stick you for more money by making you purchase what they call coins to view certain things.... Personally I found this terrible, they do not tell you this when you sign up and start paying them.... SECOND Beware. There are so many scammers on the site it is unbelievable, Their security has to be non existent. I was a paying member and my account was hacked, Their answer is for me to create another profile, using a different e-mail... Now seriously how stupid is that. Their customer service simply does not wish to Help you in any way. All your contacts past e-mails etc will be lost. Now this happens a LOT.... Do NOT waste your money on this site, go someplace else.

I purchased a subscription under the belief that this was a dating site. If you subscribe, you’re only allowed to message one person per day! SENSELESS.. Why would one pay for a dating site to message one person. Complete turn off. Also, “they” control what you say in your “story”. If they don’t like what you wrote they alter it to say what they want.

Stay away! They know EXACTLY how to take advantage of people who are lonely, upset and frustrated. If after a few tries of trying to find someone decent (that are over 1.000 miles away!!) and you finally come to the end of your rope and cancel, oops! Too bad, you’ve lost ALL your money. Once you decide to give it another try... Oops.. too ** bad! You have to pay for a brand new subscription!!! Oh, we don’t care that you still had time left on your old one... That’s your ** problem!!! STAY AWAY.

This will be a longer review, but will give you some guidance on navigating your way on Zoosk. First of all, if you've read other reviews, you will repeatedly see claims that Zoosk has lots of fake profiles, would be scammers and obsolete profiles. Unfortunately, all very true. However, there are quite a few legitimate users as well. Here are the suggestions that I would make to the guys, but I caution you, you probably won't like what you hear, but it's the cold hard truth.

I emailed them and asked that my profile be kept private after receiving emails from another site. I cancelled subscription once they did not action this. When I cancelled they said it was cancelled for six months, this is the time they can bill my credit card again. It is a rip off site. I will have to phone them now and express my displeasure and likely cancel credit card.

So after removing myself from 3 other sites because they seemed to be just hook up sites, I decided to give Zoosk a try.. From day one, I like all others started getting want to meet messages..You could have a different date every day if you wanted to..Just saying.. I stumbled on a couple of people that I was really interested in...However I clicked the like button and waited..The "one" that I was very interested in sent me a message the next day explaining that he worked third shift and was just now getting to write me. We exchanged a couple of messages on the site and then I gave him my number so I wouldn't have to keep on getting on the site to talk..That was 5 days ago and we have talked for hours daily since. We have a date this friday and neither of us can wait! I was concerned because he lives in Alabama and I am in Ga. But he has assured me that distance is no issue if we are right for each other..

It seems this company preys on the free users. As a free user, you get notifications that users like you or want to meet you. You are unable to reply to them unless you get a paid subscription. Once you pay, voila! those "users" are gone or do not reply to your message. I live in a large metropolitan area, so one would think there would be a lot of real users in my area. However, when doing a search, I find the majority of users have photos (often just one photo), but nothing filled out in their profiles. I would not be surprised if ALL of those are fake accounts or old accounts resurrected by Zoosk to create the illusion of having active members. Think about it... Why would anyone open an account and post their photo(s) for the purpose of finding a companion, yet they are unwilling to say ANYTHING about themselves or what they are looking for.

They do not keep up with the cancelled scammers. They keep getting back on for more scamming. For example a girl writes her phone number across her picture and by passes the site she didn't pay a dime to be on. Women can post pictures for free and browse. Men cannot. Plus you quit and your pics stays up for the next year. They have far far less people active than the pictures show. They are greedy people and have a stupid ** name. Think about it ZOOSK. Anybody can come up with a far better name than that pathetic Loser Name. Plus they are overpriced by far. Don't waste your time on this substandard junk site!!!!

The masterminds behind Zoosk are dishonest, unethical, the whole thing reeks of PURE FRAUD! I paid for the service, yet they dictate every detail of content of my profile. It actually doesn't function unless you comply with all their dictates, especially entering a photo. To start out I chose not put a photo in the profile. Immediately, there were multiple messages from men, "Hey, you don't have a picture", every one, without exception, said the same thing.

Complete rip off! Had just about every negative experience shared by others on this page! Twice locked out of site, made the mistake of reactivating only to find out another payment charged to my Google account. Useless.

This site looks to be best for cross town dating. I live in a sparsely populated rural area where distance goes with the territory and most people don't want anything except cross town dating. Also the fact that is like to meet someone away from my immediate area. I also will not furnish any financial info to their offshore credit processor. I suspect some kind of scam when someone likes me and there is a phone number written on their profile picture - I get a lot of that which sets off my alarm bells.

Site doesn't seem to care at all about members security. If you choose to post a picture and they don't seem it revealing enough they delete it. If you add comments to have others reach out to see a picture rather than post one for safety concerns they delete that post as well. I guess ** run this company.

Do not pay for any dating sites without reading the online reviews from a trustworthy site. This site is a total garbage. They will show you some fake profiles just so you can pay for it. Once you do all you see is people that are 300 miles away, fake profiles, scammers, and of course leftovers and then they will notify you when someone looks at you, what's special about that I see people on the streets everyday lol. Run. Save your money and time. They will never get me again or any of my friends. Disgusting. I hope someone will find this helpful.

Fake people, fake profiles and fake information provided on Zoosk. This site cannot be relied for any long term relationship. If you are looking for just one night stand then you will find many wolves there (that too if the wolf is real). It can be named as sex sites than dating site. I believe there are many ways to verify the real identity of the person signing on the dating sites. I am surprised people who designed these websites never thought about it. Your engineers just thought about getting more and more subscriptions (this is dumb thought and short term income) rather than getting a good image in market and become leader (this is smart thought and long term income).

I'm glad I found this site to gain info on their procedures. I made a profile with pics of myself just to look around and see the profiles before paying the money. I have 10+ messages and numerous want to meet mes. I started feeling guilty since I had not paid and could not read nor respond to anyone. I edited my profile and stated I was not a paying customer and could not respond to their messages, but my edit saying this was deleted by Zoosk so the ladies who wrote me will never know the truth and think I am just ignoring them and that bothers me. I am very disappointed with their doing this and realize all the negative reviews are with a doubt legit. This site is bogus.

I tried the site 6 months ago for a month then cancelled my subscription, now I received an email where tells me the account has been reactivated and got a $10 charge. I went to the website and tried to deactivate the account and it always reply with "Opps there has been a problem." I went to the phone app and when tried to deactivate the account the button to deactivate spins forever and won't do anything. Then I tried to remove the Credit Card info and THERE IS NO WAY TO REMOVE THE CC. Totally SCAM site, stay away... I'll be reporting the fraudulent transaction to my credit card company.

I have been a Zoosk client for many years and recently paid to update my 3-month subscription. Someone hacked into my account, even though I never disclosed my password. This hacker sent a strange long message to many women on Zoosk in South Africa, a similar message to one I received last week. Zoosk sent me a prompt to change my password, which I did, but was informed my account was blocked. I have sent many emails to Zoosk to reactivate my account....to communicate with me. Their customer service is useless/hopeless/non-existent. They have not communicated in any way with me. It is impossible to get a human being on email or any other way. I have sent many emails to support@zoosk.com, to no avail.

They let you review their members for free...which I and others have done, but you cannot communicate with them until you subscribe...which is fair....I kept track of five members that were perfect matches. The instant I subscribed, every one of those members disappeared. Along with those five, most of the attractive, classy, and educated members also disappeared...I and others get left with folks that my grandmother may have known...and she passed 20 years ago. You may still find someone, but you're not likely to get what you saw when you had your free look. The time span between my being able to see the members I was interested in and the time it took me to subscribe and try to find them again was less than 12 minutes. Don't waste your money, or more importantly your time.

I’ve been on the site for a while despite the problems and it is not getting better. Zoosk does not monitor profiles. There are many fake profiles by scammers. I’ve met about (10) real people and had over (100) scam attempts. Zoosk leaves the profiles of women up long after they cancel service creating g the impression of active accounts. They will even “match” you with someone who then never respond to messages. This is all designed to keep men onsite paying fees as opposed to providing a real service to its customers.

Although I was very successful on Zoosk, meeting my husband, my concern is that I deactivated my account/removed my account and have written confirmation from Zoosk that I did so 3 years ago. In my profile I stated that I had met a wonderful man and was married. Now, 3 YEARS later, I am still receiving daily Zoosk emails telling me about the people reviewing my profile. My profile was supposed to have been removed 3 years ago! That means they are perpetrating fraud on the public. Plus, you can pay real money to send "flowers" to someone on Zoosk. They're not real flowers of course, but the sender is paying real money. If they are sending them to me...I am not even supposed to be on the Zoosk site! I am concerned about this fraudulent, in my opinion, aspect of Zoosk.

Signed up for a month just to test it out. Shortly after, I got a message from someone and then after responding I logged off and an hour later my acct had been hacked! Contacted customer service and that just became a waste of time. Had to completely sign up again from scratch. Forget it. I will never go back and would advise anyone else to go to a different site.

Zoosk worked for me in meeting a man with whom I formed a long term relationship. However, once I cancelled from Zoosk, I continued to get messages that this one and that one wanted to meet me. I have been off Zoosk for 18 months now. I think it is a shame that men are still seeing my photo and info and then feeling cheated by never getting any replies. From that point of view, I think that people could easily become depressed if they are reaching out to profiles and never getting any replies. I think that dating sites should be forced to remove all your info once you have cancelled or allowed your membership to lapse.

This is a repeated problem for me with Zoosk…. Over the past several months I cannot sign in. Only the first time were they able to rectify the problem. The techs, of which there have been many, are unable to assist...or are unwilling. Now they tell me to sign in with another email. The excuses are varied. The biggest problem is that I am a newer user and as I only have the one email, I have had very limited use of the site. I have asked for my money back but it only gets me nasty responses and then they're gone. I am still stuck with the problem and, apparently, no chance of a refund!

Joined Oct 2019, discovered on Jan 31st that my profile name, story, and photos were changed via email. However as I did not do this. Called to find out what happened and was told there was suspicious activity on my account and it was closed. Asked for a refund and was told I was past the time that a refund could be processed and would have to go through my bank. Well guess what? It is also past the time for the bank to do anything as well. What a rip off this company is that they can't protect your information. The website is awful too. DON'T JOIN THIS COMPANY.

I set up criteria which included: maximum distance, age range, and no smoking and marked them all as highest of priorities. None of these priorities seem to be used in the search results, as I am CONSTANTLY getting likes and hearts and messages from men way older (as much as 13 yrs!), distances up to 200+miles away, Also, when I select the “X” to say I’m not interested, these same men show over and over again in the carousel and picks that Zoosk sends me. How many times do I have to say “No” to the same person? Also, some of the results they send come through really small when you get the option to read the profile. Why?

I subscribed to Zoosk briefly in 2019 and stopped using my account after a short period of time. In 2020, I was notified of charges being placed by Zoosk on my credit card. When I contacted Zoosk, they informed me that they would refund the money. They did not address how or why the card was charged on an account I had not logged into in nearly a year.

Firstly I paid as others have a lot of money to meet a Lady, you only get half the text messages of individuals contacting appeased to the fact they advise you will receive a text each time. Secondly the women who contact you never send a message but only a Love heart. When I response in a very nice way I only get about 5% that will chat but then switch off and I have hardly said much but, Thank you and I appreciate your time etc or you look great. I believe this site is a TOTAL SCAM as it Sucks Your Money when credits run dry and I TRULY Believe that they put up FAKE Profiles to Suck in people that want Genuine Love. You will find out if you Join - Good Luck in LOSING MONEY for no Love.

DO NOT PAY FOR A ZOOSK SUBSCRIPTION! I made the mistake of paying for a 6 month membership and have been fed with nothing but fake profiles. If you have friends who are trying online dating please share this with them so they don't make the same mistake I did. This one girl mysteriously messaged me almost immediately after I complained to Zoosk about fake profiles and requesting a refund. We chatted for roughly an hour, I sent a few questions designed to get a specific response, which she answered incorrectly. The conversation eventually led to us agreeing that online communication was lame, and that we should meet. When I asked her when she'd like to meet, that's when the messages stopped.

The company deceives its users by contacting others on your behalf. I have received many messages from Men responding to my initial contact when I never sent them a message. Many many fake users and scams on the site. I did not feel safe using it any longer and deactivated my account six weeks before the end of my subscription. I have contacted Zoosk regarding their deception and never received a response.

I was a member of Zoosk dating service for several months. I never gave my phone number out. A week ago, I got a phone call on my cell from a stranger stating that I was communicating with my on Zoosk and I gave him his phone number. I told him I did not and to stop calling me. He told me to calm down. When I went to my Zoosk account, I could not get in. I changed my password, got in and someone had taken over my account. She had replaced my picture with hers. I contacted Zoosk. Their response (a week later) was to send me an email that they had blocked my account, and I was to set up a new account with a new email. And they would give me 30 days free. They did not address how someone could hack my account and they did not answer how the security on my account was being handled. If this dating website cannot do a better job of protecting subscribers, you are better off not using Zoosk.

Been a member for several months now. I have seen/met only mediocre members and less to what I expected. There seems to be a trend with 'ghost' members or perhaps more accurately robo members that will view you dozens of times in a day (24hrs). I believe these are fake profiles generated by Zoosk to get you going. Have been on various dating sites before, nothing new here: scammers, prostitutes, fake profiles, phishers....

I had a paid membership on Zoosk and used it for about 10 days before I could no longer log on. I received a message that my account had been blocked by a Zoosk Administrator. I contacted customer service and their solution was for me to use another email and create a new account. They said they would transfer over my information so I had the days I had already paid for still available. I had no desire to start over and create a whole new profile with an alternate email address. I googled this and found that this happens a LOT! I'm not sure what their game is but I choose not to play.

My account has apparently been hacked. It APPEARS that I have tried to connect other people to ,"a friend" - I have NEVER done that!!! I am sick of this. I see no way on the site to contact administrators. If this is not corrected I will remove the app and MY SUBSCRIPTION ONEY WILL BE A TOTAL WASTE!!! I need this fixed! Lou **

Been looking on Zoosk found some nice ladies that I’d like to talk to so I wanted to join. Besides the prices of the basic membership there are upgrades and you can not find the prices of those upgrades anywhere. Emailed customer service and they gave me the runaround. If you join and the person you want to date is not a member you can’t communicate unless you upgrade. The site also send notifications of who viewed you and the notification says “online now” yet when you go to whose on line, they aren’t. I believe this site to be little more than bots and trolls.

The site seemed to work ok, but then I could not log on anymore. They said my email got corrupted, told me to assign a new email. It was stupid but I made another one up just for them. Week later the same thing happened. Again told me to make another one up...told them they have a problem on their end. After weeks of getting them to fix it I decided I wanted my money back and they refused. Said it wasn't their policy to refund monies. I do not suggest going long term because they will keep your money when it fails. I also am not the only person that had this problem...BEWARE.

Be careful using this app. I cancelled my subscription over 30 days ago and was told there would be no more charges. When I didn't see the cancellation on the app, I called and was told that the cancellation won't show until the end of the subscription. When it ended, they put another $59 charge on my account. When I called about this charge, I was now told that it was officially cancelled, but they offered no refund. So they charged me for January 2020, but cancelled my subscription. These people are a bunch of criminals.

First want to say this site is a hoax and it is full of non real girls anyhow and also full of bots to view your site. I think it is a different experience for a few people - very few. I had a couple of friends try this site and also never had any luck. I did meet 1 actual girl (I think) that had a good experience if she was real as I never met her but she contacted me and seemed to be friendly but keep in mind a lot of people on this site are frauds. All they are after is your subscription and token money.

At first glance the site seems legit enough but after a while you notice that the responses. Are automated, they try and convince you you are getting messages from actual women but when you look at the responses they are the same, like it's a script pr program that is installed. The other tell is that when you respond to the text, there is no answer, that's because there really was no real person texting you. Like I said, it's a scam, do not waste your money or time on this site.

I was involved in a long term con. I tried to report him to customer service. They didn't even bother to respond to my request. This man now has the ability to go back to their site to con other women. I offered pics and evidence. They were not interested.

I joined four days ago. Got notices that so and so wants to chat. I type something but get no response. I wait, write, am patient, never insisting. Finally one or two out of dozens who want to contact me, write. The message is inane. One said "I sleep with a pillow between my legs naked." Okay...interesting but said completely out of context. Another says, "I'm friendly, want a relationship," blah blah blah. I write...NADA! One can only assume the site is bogus. Now, as I read and research, others are saying basically the same thing. What is curious, though, is that you occasionally run into testimonies that claim "I found my mate on this website." Uh huh. You know what two positive words in the English together make a negative? "Yeah, right!"

I wasted a year trying to find a decent, attractive woman to date near where I live. If by chance I did get a response she lived over a hundred miles away or wasn't attractive in the least. Now and then I'd get messages that an attractive woman wanted to meet me. I'd send her a message and there wouldn't be any response at all. I thought certain I'd meet somebody online but using Zoosk was a complete waste of time and money.

Good Dating Site. I have met and dated several different gentleman I met on Zoosk. My only complaint is when you click on the bell which takes you to alerts, if someone has only sent you a heart or smiley face you can not access their profile. You can only choose no, maybe or yes. I would like to access their profile before I chose no, maybe or yes. I would also like to be polite and acknowledge them in the event I am not interested.

The site looks nice, has good qualities, but their algorithms were written to make deceptive interaction. For example, there is a bright green dot indicator by a member's profile photo to indicate the member is online. That's nice. But at 3:00 am many of the members you might view will appear offline yet send you a 'message' after they are viewed.

Not only were the potential men not at all viable, they have fun billing you after you close your account. Even Amex takes 6-8 weeks to look into this fraud. Do yourself a favor, don’t sign up. Also it is hard to get a hold of them. Their 415 phone is always busy even during the hours they claim they are closed.

PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY. YOU WILL FIND THAT IS FULL OF BOTS OR ROBOTS WITH A LOW QUALITY BS. They have no idea how to lie, at least they can make it better, no. They used pics and profile that are fake and non existent. Be very concern, do not put any money.

I refuse to be "nickel & dimed" by an "activation fee" atop a subscription fee. There is no help given on how to have a profile deleted once it appears on the Zoosk site; neither has there been any response from Zoosk to remove my profile.

This site seems to be full of one nighters, those looking for financially advantageous relationships, and people who post old photographs of themselves along with false representation. More than likely not going to result in a meaningful relationship.

This is another dating site with fake profiles and fake personalities that do not exist. Sometimes I feel they have hired people just to play games with customers showing themselves as interested parties but the reality is that there are none or very few women on there. I have been on this site for 3 days and it is very simple to see that they are playing games with everyone.

A total waste of time and money. I’d be “matched” with men hundreds of miles away and/or 10-20 years my junior or senior. I got the feeling there were few matches in my area because the site is not very popular so they’d send me any profiles randomly. When I paused the 3 month subscription after the first month to give myself time to get over a breakup, I tried to start it up and unpause the service a couple months later and they refused to give me the 2 months I’d paid for, saying my subscription had terminated. Customer service was unable to show me where they stated my account would be terminated if left paused too long and they just kept offering me discounts to sign up again. By refusing to give me the 2 months I’d paid for, they basically ripped me off about $40. Save your money and yourself from disappointment and wasted time. AVOID ZOOSK.

I have been on Zoosk for just over a month and have found that most of the profiles that seem to be quality women are indeed fake. Most of the constant looks at your profile are fake. Much of this is bad business on the part of Zoosk using fake profile to make customers think they are getting attention. The other is bad people trying to lure real people into giving up personal information for nefarious reasons. My advise - if you want to find a quality date - someone who has it all together >>> stay far away from Zoosk!

I had Zoosk for 6 months. In the 6 month probably sent out thousands of messages, and said yes to as many smart picks or other ways to match on the site. In all that time, I had 0 replies. Not a single one on anything the entire time. OK maybe not everyone has a premium account and maybe I am not prefect for everyone, but absolutely nothing is pretty bad.

I read and understood the terms and conditions of pausing my account. There was no renewal fees till I reactivated my account. In less than a month Zoosk reactivated my account and charged me. I reread the terms. Found they violated the term of the agreement. I write, try to call, get nothing. Had immediately repaired my account. This morning again zoosk unpaused my account and charged me. But this time they posted a new term of agreement. This one says you can pause your account but they can still monthly charge you. Now why would I want to keep paying them 30 bucks a month for something I'm not using. This is how they're trying to get around being sued for fraud the first few times they broke their own terms to steal money.

Horrible site. Old accounts of people who are no longer there. They also make it almost impossible to cancel your account, and when you think it is canceled you get suckered into another payment. Worst dating site with the worst customer service. I do not recommend this site.

My satisfaction level would range from almost dissatisfied to somewhat satisfied or: got what you can pretty much expect, I guess. I talked to a few (real) females on there, from relatively nearby. Went on maybe 2 to 3 dates or meet-ups, tops. Being on there for months. They send matches from far away typically; the site's parameters do not seem to understand or respect what would perhaps be rather common sense distance preferences (you'll regularly get people as your suggested matches who are from out of state, or 50, 60-some or even 100-some plus miles from where you live, etc).

They tell me ladies are (1) Viewing my profile, 2 ladies who I got repeated notifications about denied it when I asked them. (2) Want to chat, but when I message them I get no reply. I have the upgrade that allows anyone to reply to me. (3) Want to meet me, but they don't reply in chat either.

Tried Zoosk as a free member. Found 3 lady profiles using precise age and distance criteria that I would like to contact. Interested in meeting each of them so I joined. Once I joined I used precisely the same criteria to search. Not one of them showed up. Did this a dozen times or so - still not one of the three showed up. Now began to suspect this company is a scam.

I was very hesitant in doing a dating site as I had a horrible experience a year earlier with another site that rhymes with Hatch. I found the quality of men to be better than other sites but did have my share of weirdos. I met my husband the day after i joined and he joined the day prior to me joining. So, we met each other right away; that was October 2017. We were married 2 months ago. He is the best thing that has EVER happened to me (aside from my grandsons).

Zoosk!! I’m the founder of a website similar to ConsumerAffairs.com. An online publication, information-rich resource organization, which assists victims, helps prevent financial crimes, protects consumers, and the public from fraud, manipulation, and abusive practices. With my experience for recognizing less than authentic individuals, companies, websites etc. who often pose as someone or something you’re interested in or may be interested in. I recently signed up with a paid account with Zoosk. I contacted Zoosk shortly after joining and notified them of the two scammers and a third possible one that I experienced within the first day of joining. They were removed from my view although I’m not sure if they closed their accounts. I did give them reliable evidence.

I was on Zoosk for 3 days. I was inundated with scam requests and decided it wasn't worth it. I unsubscribed and deleted my account. They charged me the following month and didn't delete my account. Not worth it!

Is it perhaps because Zoosk doesn't maintain its user database, or because they don't act upon Reported users? Whatever the reason, this Dating App/Site is absolutely loaded with fake profiles and scammers. Steer clear of this one, the single advice you need.

I signed up for 3 months, basically because this was the only way to participate. They ask for your preferences which were rather broad, but definitely include age and appearance. Zoosk couldn't even keep those parameters straight. I would get contacts from people far out of the age range. In addition, there is a blocking feature that is completely useless. The blocked people returned to my preferences time and time again. I was warned that women get bombarded by men on these sights, but I still was surprised at how uncomfortable I felt. (See above.) I cancelled after 2 days. Unfortunately, there is no grace period, so when you sign up you are stuck with the bill for a minimum of three months. It may not officially be a scam, but it feels pretty scammy. I would not recommend Zoosk to women.

I have been on Zoosk for several months. I’ve reached my breaking point. Most of the men are out of my distance and age range and I have blocked about 500. Now when I block them they keep appearing every day. I called Zoosk and they sss AS us. I reached my blocking limit so I went in and unblocked a large amount. It didn’t work. The same guys show up every day. I’m done. Worst website to meet men.

I paid for 3 month subscription, but could not email, respond to messaging or view anyone, because I did not uploaded a photo. Totally ridiculous also, I received messages from a paid subscriber, there was a note that said Respond for free, but I could not, again because I did not upload a photo. Why is Zoosk blocking response to members who corresponded with another member who do not have a photo. Was the message a scam. I cancelled my subscription immediately, I will not allow Zoosk to control me in their scam.

I took out a 3 month subscription and after two turned off auto renew. They cancelled my last month but didn't refund any money. This is a total rip off. I complained to Apple who were no help at all even though they are the agent.

Massive fail, akin to finding out Milli Vanilli was lip syncing.

In a word, Zoosk sucks. They constantly sent me profiles that were outside of the parameters I set. That is, they sent profiles that were older and younger than my age ranges; profiles that lived further than my distance parameter; profiles that were not at all in line with the physical traits I was interested in. A total waste of time and money.

If you're seriously looking for someone “Run Forest Run” from this dating site! Every negative thing previously written is true; how the government hadn’t shut this site down is a mystery? I compare it with a Nigerian scam from the “Barrister“ wanting money?

Maybe I didn't read all the fine print but a few things you should know before wasting your money and time. 1) You can only communicate with paid members. 2) You will receive notifications that someone is interested in you and they have their cell number written on the picture. This is obviously a scam but Zoosk is totally involved in this scam. They monitor every pic and text written on your profile but they allow this to happen. 3)The number of paid member to non-member is like 1 out of 4 in my area. 4) Their search capability does not work as you have set in your settings. When searching, you get people outside your radius and age group. This wastes more of your time. 5) You cannot always see a paid member's distance until after you match. She may be 100-miles away; therefore, you end up cancelling the connection. Good luck but I would not recommend this site.

You can only view people you're interested in for free on Zoosk, but you cannot message them, receive messages from anyone, chat, or ANYTHING else....unless you pay. That's the catch.... Zoosk claims to be free, and to one extent it is, just expect to pay to actually meet someone.

Was a complete waste of money. It's constant offers to 'upgrade' for more money. I get emails saying I have 'messages' but when I go to the site, there are none. There are messages saying specific people 'want to meet you' but going there, none. The few messages I've gotten, I've responded to with no reply which makes me think they are not going through. I've tried to contact the company but just go round in circles.

After two paid rounds on this site I find it very sad to continually receive notifications that a member(s) is interested, or has sent a messages, only to go to the site to see the mailbox sits empty and can not find the said person(s)... Very sad!!!

I have found that most of the persons here have fake profiles and Zoosk says they're interested in you but you find the same profile in different locations and different ages; why would they do that? I also suspect like the other user mentioned that there are many scammers hiding behind women's photos and asking eventually for money to complete their scam. It is also very hard to review profiles without committing some payment to keep the computer generated lies to continue with small chance that you will really meet genuine women that look halfway decent.

The first 3 men that contacted me were not real people. They were scammers. After 2 emails there is a pattern. Their spelling is poor and they ask for your email address immediately. All three had telephone area code 437, coincidence? I don't think so.

Before 24 hours after I join I wanted to cancel as I had purchase their tokens along with membership. I have emailed them 3 times and no response at all. They just ignore my request. If need be I do have copies of all correspondence. Even if there was a no-refund policy they should have at least notified of that.

First, they didn't tell you that you have to pay to see messages people send you until the messages are sent and you are notified of those messages. Then I had two people claim to be strippers who could only get the time off from work to see me if I made an account on a paid site and "liked" their profiles. Then I had several people start talking to me, then suddenly say that they could only keep talking to me if I sent a $100 (or even $200!) gift card to them to "pay the phone bill." I half expect someone there to say "I'm a Nigerian Princess...." Am looking elsewhere now.

Zoosk, like many other sites, is loaded with fake profiles. DO NOT GIVE THEM MONEY. You may as well set your cash on fire. You will never get any value from this site. Total rip off. Try Plenty of Fish.

Conversations and dates I've had with men on Zoosk were very good to excellent matches for me. I felt safe with my dates and they were respectful of my boundaries. Being my favorite, this dating site is no different than the rest in that we have to be very careful about who and how much we choose to trust and who we choose to date. An FBI agent told me that many of the profiles seen on dating apps are not who they appear to be. Both men and women alike have been known to use stock photos or will steal a picture from someone else in order to hide their true identity so their spouses or significant other doesn't find out they're being cheated on.

I site was ok. What I did not like was I set the parameters of meeting people within 20 miles of where I lived but I kept being matched up from people all over including out of state. I did like that there were a lot of people on the site and you could easily block the ones you didn't want to hear from.

After using other dating sites I decided to try Zoosk. This site had more and better matches. I met my boyfriend on Zoosk and we’ve been together over a year now. They got the match right. I would recommend Zoosk over all the other sites out there.

Site is horrible. If you like someone and do not have an acct, you get a message from that person. This is how they get you to commit. After, you find out the message is CPU generated. When you reach back out to the person, they either do not respond or tell you they did not contact you.

Essentially I signed up and 48 hours later I found the love of my life, literally. Were married since 2011! In any case, the site was well designed and very easy to use. It was not filled with fake profiles unlike the competition. I recommended it when asked for dating sites suggestion.

This was a frustrating and disappointing experience. I got "you are a match!" Notices from people that I had spoken to, and we agreed no match. Also hearts from the same people.. It can be embarrassing if you don’t remember who you have spoken to, and I don’t believe that messages you receive are from the actual members, but bot generated. CS does not reply to emails. They allow a lot of gross things to be in bios, such as request to have a woman clean shaven ‘down there’ so 'no choking hazards’ gross!

Meet many types of women on this site. Some dates better than others. It is always good though to purchase a background check program also to complement a dating site app. Been with my current girlfriend for 1 1/2 years.

I thought Zoosk was pretty good. At the end of my trial (1 month), I started receiving fake messages/profiles. On the other hand, I was introduced to men over 50 which is nice for us older women. My smart picks weren't very good. I give them 4x's out of 5.

I found it virtually impossible to cancel my subscription, and when I finally thought I had done so, even though I never logged on afterwards, lo and behold, here's another charge from them. I have sent an email to their customer "service," but I am sure I will get a canned response blaming me for their policies. I'm not saying cancellation is easy to find in other apps, but at least with Match and Bumble, when you find the cancel option you're at least certain you did it properly. These folks make you think you did it right and then charge you again. Hucksters. I saw a lot of scammers on the site as well, as they are not difficult to spot.

Would get fake messages. The same people over and over. For the last few weeks it is the same three names. Waste of time and money. I would suggest not wasting your money. They would say a person viewed you 28 min ago and I knew they had not as I had ready talked to them and no match.

Zoosk is a decent site. Most profiles seem legit and people seem sincere in their quest of finding a potential partner. I don’t like their settings of showing when you are online or how they make it appear people keep “viewing” you over and over again. When I delete a view, it makes it appear that I’m “viewing” someone that I’m trying to delete and it just becomes an time-wasted cycle. The only real way to prevent this is to block someone.

They match you with people hundreds of miles away. Keep suggesting people you have already rejected. Not as bad as POF but does have some scammers. Lots of inactive accounts. Cancelled after 4 weeks. No responses to messages from matches. The quality of men are not the best. What I hated most was the constant messages that someone viewed you when they didn’t or if your pictured shoes on the carousel they consider that a view.

If you're thinking of investing money in Zoosk...don't. The site is basically a well-designed set of algorithms created to make you want to give them money. For the first few days you will have lots of fun on the site, but it all goes downhill. Once they have your money, whatever employees/AIs they have (I think it's both) sending you encouraging messages move on to the next mark. If you're feeling low and feel like you have nothing to lose, at least do yourself a favor and sign up for the shortest possible commitment. I ended up cancelling my subscription early--at a monetary loss--and I immediately felt better after I did.

I have met 2 Long term relationships (women) on Zoosk site. 1 lived on the Jersey shore 1 year 3 months. The other who I am seeing now for almost 1 year lives in Waterbury Ct. I lived with them both. I also had very good luck with just casual dating on this site. I'm very happy with zoosk. I'm 62 retired (male). New Jersey was 67 and a retired school teacher. My current girl is 55 and is a LPN.

It was a good reference for seeing who may be available and fit. I met the woman of my dreams and we have been married now for 2 years after 1 year of dating. We are madly in love and thank God for bringing the two of us together.

Not a bad site but many profiles on here no longer exist. Despite reporting scammers to zoosk they still keep appearing and don't get removed by Zoosk. You also get likes from people who haven't liked you. Again it's Zoosk doing their own thing. That can be so embarrassing. I would suggest trying another dating site first.

I would like to have better service for what I’m looking for. I really think that they could do a better job by learning more about what I would like to have on a date. I’m a well educated man who would like to go out on a date with a woman who would like to meet in a place that would be comfortable with both of us.

I've only been on that site for one week. What took place isn't important to anyone except me. You have to pay more to go invisible while you looking on top of what you already paid. You also have to pay more for other things. I read that you can opt-out in 15 days, I'm hoping this information is correct. I don't recommend this site to anyone based on what I experienced in one week's time. Many men even older are just looking for hookups.

The site tends to send out a lot of fake notifications. I will get notifications that a member wants to chat so I will start a conversation. Most of the times I don't get a response. On a couple of occasions, the female has thanked me but indicated they were not interested. When I mention that they have indicated they want to chat, they tell me they never did. Makes for an awkward situation. I don't trust the site. Also, some features like Carousel are totally useless because it forces you to like/dislike based on one picture.

After several attempts with Zoosk...and much money later, I realized they are a rip off in the biggest way. Just today someone "wants to meet me"....if he's even real, he doesn't show up as having even viewed my account. Too many planted/fake people. This may be one of the fastest growing sites, but I bet it's also the most disappointing.

Don't know if anybody's reading your messages. Seems like computer generated. Matches never get a response no matter how many messages you send out. Seems completely bogus. Same matches over and over even when you delete the subject. Have not gotten one message back after dozens of tries.

Well I didnt do my homework. The site is annoyingly hard to navigate, deceptive (I bought "coins" thinking it was needed) and prostitutes use it by writing their phone number on a picture. Most "women", if they are real only send a heart which means nada. I feel like an idiot because I should know better. Nothing worse than scamming men who pay good money to join and to see how poor and deceptive it is.

Zoosk is a joke and a scam. Very few actual members. The site has like 85% dead profiles. What I mean by that is 85% of the profiles are from people no longer on the site in yrs most likely. First, you pay a heavy subscription fee... Then they bang you for another 10$ a month so the people who didn't pay can talk with you. But don't count on that unless you like long-distance relationships. The site is a total rip off. Save your money and don't join. Use the other dating sites available. Some of them work very well. If for some reason you don't take my advice, good luck to you but I told you so.

I would say that this site is a joke, except that it’s not funny. Save your time and money. The majority of the profiles are fake, populated with stolen identities whose sole purpose is to convince you that they are in love with you, but will only go out with you if you delete your profile. But hey!!...they will do it for you! All they need is your email address and password. No worries though, because “your infos are safe with me”. Ri-ight...

Zoosk IS THE WORSE dating site I have ever used. Their platform is useless, complicated to navigate. Most users use it as a hook-up site. And worse of all, they constantly censor you even when you follow the guidelines to the T! The managers were rude, offensive and unclear. When contacted by phone to ask for explanation on censorship their tone was dry, rude, and non-resolving. I'd say to potential users: AVOID ZOOSK at all costs! It is a costly and useless site.

I paid for one month to check it out and that was enough for me. Then a month after I had canceled I start to get all of these notices that I have messages on my Zoosk account. I checked my credit card account and Zoosk had not charged me again so I thought it was weird. I had to log back into my "canceled" account and deactivate it to stop the madness. It was disturbing and I felt I had no control over my information.

I met my second wife on Zoosk in 2009. Now this site is a scam. Don't get sucked into putting out a lot of money. Fake news? This is fake dating. Too many fake profiles, messages, and wasting time on talking to some fake person.

I was totally scammed by a Richard **, who contacted me on Zoosk and told me to go to WhatsApp to chat. Said everyone uses it and he never texts via phone. He ended up getting $5K from me and I foolishly mailed 2 iPhones to a: Melvin **. I have no idea if this is his friend. He said he was from Germany and out of the states and his uncle was ill. No parents as they are deceased and an only child. We chatted awhile on WhatsApp with the phone number of **. Not sure if this ** is on any other dating sites but please beware. He also said he lived in Newport, RI which was also false.

So I met a guy on Zoosk. We date for two months and call it off. Both of us are now back on the site. So I’ve noticed that he keeps viewing me daily sometimes multiple times a day. I’m getting freak that maybe he is a stalker. So today after two weeks he messages ME asking why I am viewing him constantly! ME!!! I have taken extra special attention to not viewing him back!! Yet Zoosk is doing something shady behind both our back making us think the other person is viewing us. What is the explanation for this. Here I am worried about a stalker when I’m just trying to peacefully use a dating site! Instead of that I’m literally getting screwed by Zoosk. Thanks for that Zoosk! I’ll never be on here again! Not is all as it seems on here. Super disappointed.

Most dating sites suck, but Zoosk is the worst. I can echo what everyone else has said on here. Before I became a paid member and just had a free profile, I would get emails all the time about so and so likes me and I had messages piling up. Now, if you're a guy (and you know how much harder online dating is for men than women), that's music to your ears. I thought, "Gee, I better get on there already and start making dates." Also, as I was deciding whether to subscribe or not, the SAME chick kept checking out my profile over and over. I really wanted to talk to her, so I took the plunge.

So Zoosk is a place to come together and have someone take your money. It's a complete and utter joke, all they focus on is how they can squeeze more money from you, you can even click the option to not renew, and they will just renew you anyway, then if you cancel they give you the runaround, you can even call anyone to resolve the issue. You are left with just a slow email process which they don't get back to you, but be sure you will get emails left, and right about spending more money. Complete waste of time. If you like burning money this is the website for you. You won't build any connection because Zoosk just wants your money. They connect with your wallet and that's it, complete waste of time. I wish I never got on this website, I will continue to write reviews for this because people have to know not to get involved with this website. Try something else. Don't waste your time.

I signed up for an account. Immediately, I get "so called" messages that someone is interested in me. Every day I get one or two. Finally, after a month, I have about 30+ messages, and so I pay for membership. All the messages were computer driven auto responses. No one actually wanted to meet or chat. I paid for three months for absolutely nothing. What a scam. Stay away. Stay FAR away.

Don't even click on it! I wasted a few hundred dollars off and on over two years. While there are some real profiles, very few of them are actually active. Here are my biggest gripes about Zoosk: 1. Matching criteria, age and distance are meaningless. Zoosk ignores data points and bombards you with profiles of potential matches 100+ miles away, always older than you, often outside your other key filters. 2. Robo views or likes. Once your account is up and running, you'll get pinged constantly by the same people "viewing" your profile over and over and over again. You'll think they're obsessed with you but never message you. That's because they're NOT there at all! These may be ghost profiles Zoosk kept from people who previously subscribed and in some cases, a real person may have swiped your photos for a tenth of a second, and pinged Zoosk, which then auto tags you and creates a phony "like" or "connection".

I have been on this site on and off for a few years. I have only met two semi-legitimate people on here that I dated for some time. I say semi-legitimate because while most of their profiles were accurate, they both lied about their age and exaggerated and/or their profiles were inaccurate about other items. And, they were "hooked" on the site. Could not stop looking.

I agree with the other reviews that Zoosk has a lot of fake profiles and low quality matches. Many of people contacting me had nothing to really say. Others seemed real but were too far away, smokers (which I said I did not want), or some other mismatch. Bring back the good old days of people getting introduced by friends and people actually putting themselves out there to approach people in person when interested!

I signed up for a month. After having put in the requisite search time, and opening with an individual greeting, I received a total of only 8 responses...and three of those were hurtful and rude. You are better off trying to find someone at the grocery store.

Signed on approximately 1 1/2 months. Are shown profiles of all women when I asked to receive profiles of a limited group. When I get a notification that says “she wants to meet you” and send a response, I never hear anything from the person. If I mention in a response to a person that I doubt the authenticity of Zoosk; that person disappears from my connections. I do not care if they are are BBB accredited. They, as well as all other online dating should be investigated. I would like to get into their organization as a spy to see how they manipulate people. They send me emails with pictures of women whom they claim like me and ask if I like her. The picture is of a woman with an out of state phone number written in red ink across her face. ZERO stars! Should be condemned!

It's a fake dating site, where men have to pay. The women do not have to. The site will sent me messages, supposedly from other users, to my email. There are no messages from other users. There is no responses at all! This site is a waste of time, money and should be banned!

I was happy with the dating site when I was a member. What I am unhappy with are the text messages that say this person or that person is interested in me. I closed my account a year ago. Obviously, Zoosk did not delete my profile or is sending fake information in the hopes that I will re-open my account. Either way, Zoosk's actions are unethical. I would not use that site again because of this.

Easy to tell 80+% of profiles are fake. Most have no description and only 1 photo. They couldn't even put more effort than that into making fake profiles to make it seem like there's actually girls on there. Also, they double the price, once our about to check out, with a hidden "activation fee". Besides that, their search filters and settings are crap. Just another scam company.

This is the worst dating site ever. A lot of fake profiles. I got a message from a normal decent looking woman. I had already cancelled because I did not find a match. Then I decided to try for another month. Come to find out the message was fake. I did not get a response after signing up. Just all bad. Never again Zoosk.

ZOOSK SHOULD BE cautious of individuals who are making their dating website a way to connect with potential men or women who will try to commit fraud at your expense. What you are reading is not reliable and if you take the time to make get information from them that you want to check for yourself by all means do this. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that this website is going to be a good experience.

I have chatted with close to ten men in 2 days trying to meet someone. As conversations progress, it’s clear they are scammers: marine engineers, diamond traders, traveling for construction contracts, etc. Where are the real people? Get these scammers off! The scammers are getting smarter and using more normal looking photos, not the polished photos of the past (though some still are), but once the misspellings, and “dears” and awkward English emerges, it’s clear. Zoosk...do a better job of ridding the site of these frauds! I’d like to speak to a real prospect!

This is by far the worst dating website ever, needs to be shut down ASAP. After paying a subscription they want more money all the time to boost your profile. You get matches that never turn out to be anyone, messages that you never get a response to. Total joke, had one guy whose pic came to me constantly, we are not a match. I told Zoosk to take him down. But no, still pops up all the time. Stay clear of this website.

Zoosk sent me a email saying they have declined my essay profile which I did not do any of those. Zoosk said, "Do not put phone number, do not put email, do not put sex or profanity". None I put on my essay so that makes me think because I am deaf and they are trying to remove me due to discrimination, so that's it. Zoosk is a fake site trying to get money. Do not pay Zoosk one dime. Please everybody get out of the site. Thank you by the way. Your photos will be photocopy and stolen. I know I had mine stolen but I didn't care because they will never know where I live or anything. They can dream about trying to scam me. I'm not stupid. Gee Zoosk is not smart than any of us. JUST DON'T BUY MEMBERSHIP OF ZOOSK. I WANT THEM TO GO BANKRUPT. Thanks.

Lots of fake profiles. Before you pay, you get many attention, likes, messages from these members. Once you paid, none of them write you again. Save your money and time. Stay away from this website. Save your money and time. Stay away from this website. Save your money and time. Stay away from this website.

I signed up two weeks ago. Reading the experiences here of most of us, it's the same story. I get unverified profiles who like me daily and when I ask them to verify they're who they claim the are, I get the run around. These people should be sued and shut down. Bye $56.00. It was not fun while it lasted.

I have to agree completely with the last couple of negative reviews (without wasting time looking further), that this mob is crap. Computer generated rubbish most of the time. And like one punter has stated, I can't even access now for some reason, perhaps they're waiting for my next AUTO (got no choice), renewal to kick in. ZERO STARS. But even this site requires you to give it one star....

So, Abridged version: After a couple of years being out of the dating game I decided to try Zoosk. Bear in mind, I'm hesitant to give any dating service money after a close relative had some pretty experiences with getting catfished in the past. So here's the deal, I live in an extremely rural community and it's quite literally in that everybody knows everybody sense.. so when I see profiles from friends that I know have either gotten married or been in a long-term serious relationship.. that's red flag number one.

I only wanted 1 mo. however I was charged for 6 mo. Can no longer login to either the website or app. Conflicting info about views. Will contact my bank so I'm not charged again. This dating site is a rip off.

I too was lured into purchasing a subscription because the only way I could communicate with anyone was to do so. Prior to paying, it appeared I had all of these messages, but lo and behold once I paid, they were not actually messages, just stupid computer generated lines. They do not monitor any of the subscribers as I was communicating with someone under 1 screen name, and then his screen name was changed, and I received a notification that he wanted to meet me! Despite the fact that I requested a refund after being on the site only 1 week, they refuse to do so, so now I am out $56 for nothing. Talk about a scam operation.

How exciting, I have one of the woman checking out my profile! Actually not. Once you view someone or give a positive response to their profile on the Carousel then the site keeps showing that they have viewed your profile. I got so many views from some women that I actually messaged them to see if they had actually viewed my profile, they had not. People come to one of these sites to save time and sort through who is out there but this is a bigger waste of time than going to a bar. Save your money and your time. This site is complete fraud! Good luck!

Don't waste your money! It is rubbish. I signed up for one month and after that, NO MORE! The experience has been crazy. People who I have spoken with are just plainly weird and ask too many indiscreet personal questions. Scam messages...the story of the cousin who needs to date someone and there is a relative trying to hook him up with you... All a way to get your information. I have been here for less than a week and I have already gotten 2 of those messages. I can go on and on...awful.

I joined Zoosk on 26 July 2019, looking for female friendship. I paid a subscription of GB pounds £56 which allegedly gave me unlimited messaging. However, I was then asked to buy ‘coins’ to read the messages of women contacting me. I tried to ‘unsubscribe’ to Zoosk. The ‘terms and conditions’ state that you can cancel your subscription and get a full refund if you cancel within three days. You have to write to a San Francisco address, zip code CA 94105. I failed to find a UK address, although I joined Zoosk as a UK member. In my opinion, this is a highly irregular way to conduct business, and I would suggest giving this site a very wide berth. Instead, try ‘Encounters’ or ‘Soulmates’ where you will be treated properly.

Really doesn't deserve one star. See the review from Melissa from OR below - she spelled it out clearly. Horrible to navigate. Its touted "Smart" technology has consistently matched me with shorter men who live at least 2 hours or 2 states away - despite that I state clearly what I'm looking for in my profile and have consistently given the thumbs down to these guys everyday for 4 months. My son could do a better job programming and he's an accounting major. AT LEAST 50% of people who contact you are scammers that are so transparent a 3 yr old could pick them off just from their profile. The rest are the SAME people, OVER AND OVER. It's like Groundhog's Day - only more time consuming and you're paying for it. Their daily suggestions are all good looking - same people everyday - that are clearly PLANTS. I could go on. Just DON'T. They are all awful but this one is the worst.

This has been a horrible experience for me. In just 4 months of use I was approached by no fewer than 4 catfish scammers; I know this because I found word-for-word identical emails online that were put there by others that had been scammed. One scammer forgot the name of his "only" daughter and referred to her by a different name in a later email; another I found on Facebook with the exact same "studio perfect" photograph of himself, but under a differently-spelled last name.

First off, I can see a whole bunch of real people's profiles which is far better than other sites. There are some I would undoubtedly date but it involves distance which I'd consider but it would be off the table for them. I live outside a tiny teenie town in Montana. I'm established there. I see it's expensive. I know a thing or two about how these sites stir things up with their user base. The users themselves aren't as active as the site simulates user activity. The coin system is always a rip. I don't trust these offshore high risk credit processors either YMMV.

OMG Your account gets hacked all the time even though you have a 50 character password protection. You can log into your account from one device BUT not your phone. You change your password and verify it TWICE on the site. Then you log out and try and log back in and it says SORRY wrong password. Your account password gets HACKED straight away. The admin is shady. Probably hacking everyone's account. BE careful. It's just bad security. Someone needs to get Zoosk to pull their socks up on their security or fire the dodgy workers who overtake your account for hacking reason.

Wow. Took my money. Wanted more. Zero reply. Very bad. Waste of time. Countless emails to me, with zero reply, it's a scam, just kept deleting crap from this scam business. Still want me on their register until 2020. Keep away. Heard about this on the ABC interview & joined. Can't believe it, ABC advertises scams. Should be shut down. Letting a lot of people down, who have hope to meet someone. Terrible. If I had done my research online I would have not been involved. Wow. Scam and a half. Keep away.

I am COMPLETELY frustrated with Zoosk!! I paid the subscription. Zoosk will give you "SmartPicks," once per day (compatible partners). You only have the choice to like or not like the SmartPick. The other person has 24 hours to reply to you. Zoosk doesn't even allow you to view your SmartPicks (Matches), or even reply to them!!! I have loved several guys profiles within the past month, that have been my matches... Once I like them- I can't even locate them again!! So I paid a subscription for people that I match with, but I can't even send a message to or locate. It's the stupidest dating site I've ever seen or known of. Such a waste of money and time. I have people all over the US messaging me, that have no common interests. Absolutely ridiculous. Why can't I even access my matches when I want??

I've been on Zoosk on and off and recently signed up again for 3 more months. My overall experience has been negative. I went on a couple dates with maybe 2 guys and they went nowhere. The Carousel thing is a sham. You express interest in people you like on a solely shallow basis. There is no info whatsoever about them, only their age and name. Then once you "like" them, you find out they live hundreds of miles away. That's fine if you're into long-distance relationships, but I've had only bad experiences with them so it's not for me. I've even stated in my profile that I can't do long-distance relationships, yet I get guys from more than 100 miles away contacting me. I also get guys who don't speak English contacting me. Seems like a real waste. Once my three months are up I'm gone.
