Zoosk Reviews

I signed up on a whim with Zoosk. I cancelled almost immediately because I realized what a sham the whole thing is. The only ones who contacted me were too far away to be reasonable for dates, and they wanted personal info right away. RED FLAG!!! Needless, to say I did not give out any info to these people, who claimed to be men with advanced college degrees and yet could not write a simple sentence. They wrote as though English was not their first language. Another RED FLAG!! One guy was in TX he said, yet he was willing to fly to Alabama to meet me after one conversation on the site. Another GIANT RED FLAG!!!! I tried another online site and it was just as rotten. This site is nothing more than a scam. Online dating appears to be just a sham, people out for your money. Please beware!

This is a complete waste of money, the replies are generic, and many of the profiles are similar. You have no way of knowing if you're messaging paid or unpaid members (who can't respond), unless you pay another substantial fee. There are free options on other sites that give you as much as Zoosk's basic membership. Save your money or try another site.

My preference is listed as male looking for a female. They put men's photos on carousel pushing their agenda. Fake profiles non stop with text me numbers. They scrutinize your profile once you pay and change and delete what they want to with no explanation. They have rules about no nudity or children in photos but women can post children and wear bikinis with little coverage. You get hammered with profiles that never respond. Complete waste of money and the ones that do respond are the undatable tattooed toothless haggard misfits.

They will regurgitate views to make you appear more popular and it's buggy. It's also automated to force smiles and hearts when you don't even send them. Terrible format. Will not pay for another subscription.

This is a very automated site. I wrote to customer service because my account had been reactivated after over a year by someone in another state. They posted their own pictures but used all of my information including email and phone number. I notified the site, changed the password and deactivated the site. I tried calling but no one answered. This was the response I got from customer service: Zoosk Customer Support, Jun 27, 10:52 PDT: "Hi **, Congratulations on meeting your special someone! The Zoosk profile under your email has been deactivated. It's no longer active, and doesn't appear on Zoosk. We've turned off email notifications, but you may receive them for the next 48 hours. Please ignore these emails, as opening the links within may reactivate the profile. Best regards, *****. Zoosk Customer Support." This has nothing to do with the issue I contacted them about which was stolen identity. Such a poor site.

Do not even consider subscribing to Zoosk. My experience with the site has largely been negative. You guys have succeeded in doing absolutely everything wrong that you could possibly do to make me never come back to your site.

I started two days ago and had to pay extra to actually see messages. I have not even manage to actually connect with anyone even though some do. Seems to be blocked both ways. This site is NOT in the best ten as it pretends in some reviews. Totally and utterly disappointing.

Save your money, this app is no better than the free ones, there are false profiles that lure you in, they allow people to post their profiles without paying, so that they look like there's a big selection, but if they don't pay they can't send or receive messages. The photos are supposed to be verified and on the carousel that you choose from 0-100 percent less that half are verified. And you also keep getting people that keep coming around over and over, even though you x'd them. When you put your preference it keeps changing it so you get everything you don't want with a sprinkle of people that are not verified or have an account. I chose this site thinking if I paid for it I'd get better quality. I've canceled, but paid up for 6 months. Do I regret spending the money? YES!

This is such a waste as online dating platform. Ha ha. I can't understand how this site rates as one of the best for matches and finding a partner!? Bullcrap. I was on it yrs ago then it was bit better. Now it has non stop ads? No other online date site has ads. Shut down this excuse for taking decent folks $$$! I hope someone works for Zoosk sees this!!

Short version... do not waste your money, this site is a scam. Long version... I am a widow and after many years alone I decided to give dating a try. I had never heard of this company but they had somehow found my email and had been sending me pictures of attractive women in my area. I joined the site but chose not to pay the subscription at first. The number of Zoosk members in my town exploded and many of them sent me messages (that I couldn't see - no subscription). After about two months I decided to pay up and I paid $30 to join for one month. Instantly, all the attractive women from my area disappeared from the search function to be replaced by either unattractive people with terrible photographs or attractive people in locations 150-500 miles away from me.

This place is full of scam. 5 in a month is enough. When I wrote to the company they offered me 15 more days, another 2 scam, they know it but it does not seem to matter that this way, they ALL PAY. Do not waste your time there....

This company uses deceptive and unethical tactics and should be investigated by the relevant government agency. I've had three accounts, and in each case, I almost instantly received messages. But in order to read and reply to the messages, a purchased subscription is necessary. I purchased subscriptions for two of these accounts, replied to the women who had messaged me, but never heard back from them. Moreover, they all used catchy, one line sentences in their messages, which suggest they are computer generated. Another red flag is that none of the other women I have messaged in general have replied back to me. It is clear these are fake profiles.

I am embarrassed to have ever gotten involved with this company. Today, second try to cancel, plus attempts online, they tell me: "I can't give out my name. I don't have an operator ID." OK---"my name is WIL. I can't get a supervisor. We can't refund your money." OK---"we can refund a little.." OK---how about a little more.. Stay after them and complain. They don't provide receipts, or emails, or account updates.

I signed up about a month ago. It seems to me this website is a total scam. It shows the same people over and over again. I went on 1 date. Big mistake. This person was an alcoholic and drove me around to numerous bars. And then drove. Pretty scary. Second time, same thing. Didn't continue relationship. He just sent me a message. Haven't responded and won't. Too scary. Be aware.

Guys typically view you and don't message. Can't control how distant the App goes, so you may find someone you'd like to meet but they're 250 miles away. Lots of dweebs, all the time. One guy told me that guys are only on the website to have online sex. Whatever you do, don't give anyone any of your personal info, including cell phone number and email. It's a scam when you're asked for personal info.

Once you have subscribed, it feels as if you have fallen for a dirty low scam. Before you sign up you are tempted by gorgeous people nearby, then once you subscribe and pay, it's a whole different scene of unattractive (sorry..) people who live in different states far away, and you cannot set any preferences to change that. Also, once you have subscribed and paid, they ask you for another monthly fee in order to let other people respond to you- trap. Of course I do, so I paid the extra fee. I feel like I just paid $100 to get into an empty chat room. No refunds.

It is a dating site and you are not even allow to set preferences for the type of person you are looking for. I don't know why they have their "match" function if people you have rejected or said NO to can still contact you and send you a message. What's the point anyway? It's been awful and I can't wait for my one month deal to expire!!!

Don’t sign up, it’s not worth your time or effort. People don’t respond to your inquiries or messages. Try and stop your account, good luck. They will send you a phishing scam to get you back by pretending to be a different company. Report to Apple if you have an iPhone, they are very interested in knowing this. I wasted a lot of time using this site. So many prospects that were shown to me were over 150 miles away. Learned my lesson. Thanks for all the informative reviews. They are all true.

I would not join this site again, many fake profiles and bots. What I mean by bots is I was viewing people online, then Zoosk notified me this person wanted to chat. I texted her and she said, "I never messaged you," "what a joke!" Before I joined I was getting messages from Zoosk telling me 10 women left me messages, I joined and most of these messages were hearts. When I wrote to these women never got a response back from one?? "0 out of 10" hmm ok right! I give them 0 out of 5 no value at all.

Spoke with a guy who lived 27 miles from me but was out of the country on business for the 3 weeks we spoke. I gave him my cell to make it easier to communicate. He was divorced, no kids, no family, only child who’s parents are both dead. No friends. Got to the point where he said he would be coming home this week. Figured he would be asking me for money to get home so I cut it off. Another guy reached out to me and right away asked for my phone number to communicate instead of using the app. Why do they want your cell number right away? I’m so new at this and feel scammed.

A friend of mine told me that Zoosk was the best dating site and that he used it and saw tons of good looking women on it. My dumb ** listened to him and joined. 90% of all the female profiles with pictures are fake. To make things even worse, Zoosk sends you notifications and emails constantly telling you that you've received a like or a carousel match, you go to the site, and it's complete BS. No one has liked you! Either that or their account got banned for being fake? Who knows? All I know is that it is a huge waste of time and money. The money part isn't really that big of a deal. The waste of time and the fact that there are SO MANY fake profiles on there is what upsets me the most.

I paid for three months because it stated I had so many likes/views, etc. Plus I had messages. No replies from the likes. No replies from the people who sent a like or heart. A complete waste of money.

I paid for a month's membership. After one week I was notified by my credit card company that I had a 99 dollar charge from Zoosk. They wanted me to buy 99 dollars of coins and they charged me for them. When I questioned them about it I got no reply so I had the charge reversed. They cancelled my month's membership with 3 weeks still left. So I had that charge reversed so now I am blocked from contacting them.

I had been a paid member of your dating website. Within a week's time I met a guy, good looking, personable, we had some things in common. Talked on your site for a week and exchanged email address. According to his profile page, he lived 10 miles from me. Turns out he was a scammer. Luckily I saved all my correspondence from him, about 5 in total. There were two rather long emails detailing who he was, etc. I have filed a report with the FBI, I contacted you and got a "pat" response. He told me he had removed his profile. I sincerely doubt that he did. I am a widow and he preyed upon my desire to find "love" again. He will do it again until he gets the desired result. I have blocked his phone number and his email address. Your dating website gets high remarks, amazing praises. I read and reread all the reviews, I thought okay. Yeah, not.

When you sign up with Zoosk, you are forced into a recurring charge situation. They do not notify you when your subscription is about to be renewed. Thus you are charged again.... They DO NOT give full or partial refunds. RIP OFFFF.

I spent 30 minutes on hold with a representative who spoke very poor English by the name of Maya. I asked for a supervisor and she put me on hold for five minutes at a time as I repeatedly ask for a supervisor. On the last request she disconnected me. My call was concerning my password not working and my email associated with my profile was not working. She told me I would have to create a new profile and use a new email address. I asked why and she had no explanation other than there was “unusual activity” on the account but wasn’t able to explain what that meant. All around a horrible experience. I ended up creating my profile three times with Zoosk. I will never try them again And I’ll tell my friends of the horrible experience I had.

Joined a couple of weeks ago and was contacted almost instantly by a bunch of men I want nothing to do with and a few men who seemed too good to be true. Guess what? The latter set WAS too good to be true because they were all fake! Set up by Zoosk as bait to get me to keep upgrading the membership. First clue, ladies: men in their 50’s who claim to be “widowed”. I responded to one of these and the next day I got another message from an even more attractive “widower”. (And these men had “advance degrees”, worked in high tech, etc). One today appeared to be trying to chat with me, but Every time I tried to chat or even see if he read my message I was automatically channeled to their store to upgrade. I called customer service and was told they would upgrade me for free but I had already paid for it (stupidly). Then POOF!!! The guy disappeared off the site altogether. I’m cancelling. Beware of these charlatans.

You are in the assumption that you will be able to have the opportunity to connect with people for a ending result called an online date. Well this becomes the problem. Before you can remotely connect Zoosk will ask for additional service money. For instance to chat is more money. How is it not being allowed to chat can you possibly date. It’s an online dating. You go on them to connect through chatting. To get more noticed is recommended because Zoosk.com controls everything including the amount of exposure. Wow and how can you verify what they do you? You can’t. All they are doing is preying on your needs for a date. They hide the amount needed to actually get a online date. It’s sad and terrible how much it’s really going to cost and still they have the audacity to give you a monthly rate that misleads you to believe online dating is in fact their so called monthly rate.

I like many others experienced the same junk profiles. Old inactive accounts, young girls poising as 50 year olds, and fake messages. I expected that this would happen on a dating site. I was persistent and scrolled by the junk and found some real people. I did not realize that my account could be hacked. Thought the site would be more secure. Zoosk did shut down my account. But now I can’t contact Zoosk. Can’t log in. Can’t change password (hackers must have changed email address). How much of my information does the Hackers have? Also I have exchanged phone numbers with a member. Do the hackers have that too? There is a phone number for Zoosk on the web. Says it’s good during the times I am working and there is a 45 min wait. Maybe more to follow.

I wish I had read your reviews before I wasted my money on a subscription to Zoosk. Do not join. It's a complete waste of time and money- there appears to be no women members only false accounts, I will say again don't join.

It's advertised as free dating site but you can't do nothing for free. You can't message or make any contact unless you are subscriber. Even as subscriber you have less options than OkCupid has for free.

Too many fake profiles with 20-30 year old women saying they are 50+ with phone numbers on their profiles! Scam/spammers. The Zoosk people do very little to verify whether or not the profiles are real! Waste of time and money!

Every woman I accepted was a match. Had 2 women who expressed interest in me buy fizzled out. One I had made a lunch date with but the day of our lunch date she said she was ill. She never responded to my confirmations for our date until it was too late. The other woman wanted me to become friends with her on Facebook which I did. She said she thought I was trying to scam her. I asked her several questions which she never responded. She never answered my questions on FB. She also had no work experience or listed any education credentials but did on Zoosk. Both were interested in me but failed to answer all my questions. In addition, I deactivated my account but signed back in to ensure it was deactivated. They automatically reactivated my account without my permission. So I deactivated my account again. They said they would refund me half of my payment but said I wanted a full refund. What a scam Zoosk is.

Don't waste your money with this site. All the above reviews are dead on and I also experienced the same. Half the profiles are not existing profiles. They manage this site like a video game, you can pay more money to send cartoon flowers and wine to people, ridiculous. You can pay more money to see if the person you write to read your message. I kept saying no to certain people and they kept popping back in my list, then as soon as I called Zoosk to complain I wanted a refund, I suddenly received 4 messages from men telling me a bogus story about their profile will be done in a few days and "my uncle saw your photo and is very interested in you, please call him at this number" blah blah blah...

This website is a waste of money and don’t jump on the one time charge for 6 months because if you want to cancel early none if your money is refundable! I keep getting messages by text or email stating that I have a message but when I go to check the message on Zoosk, it shows that I have none. This has happened multiple times and they try to say someone must have canceled their account. I might believe that if it only happened occasionally but this happens multiple times. I have barely been with them 2 months and they won’t refund any money to cancel my account early. Apparently it’s non-refundable even though that is NOT noted when I signed up. My recommendation is do NOT waste your money! Match.com treated me much better!

This is a terrible site. Many members are scammers and it is easy to tell. In addition, the guy you would be least interested in shows up as your favourite after you say no. I have watched this for months and without fail; the one out of five or six that I swipe no shows up as my favourite yet the ones I swipe yes to...on many occasions are not even in my contacts (ones I like folder). It just seems like a big scam to me.... I suggest DO NOT join this site.

I was a Zoosk paying member for 1-2 months. Interestingly enough while I was a nonpaying member for close to a year I kept getting a message just about every day from some guy mostly different ones some repeats. I suspected it was just a ploy to get me to come back. So after a relationship ended I decided to come back and see what I had been "missing". Haha biggest joke ever. I read the messages, even responded to a couple especially if I had received more than one message. Not one of these guys responded back to my response. Then of course as paying member the messages mysteriously basically stopped. Very fishy. Very disappointed.

The female I was texting I asked if she ever lived in Massachusetts. That was the phone number it was from. She says no but then says I live in Ghana South Africa. If she was so intrigued and interested I wanted her to call me. I don’t think she was really a real person. She was trying to scam me. I’m not happy. She kept saying all the right things but after a few days I finally figured out someone was trying to scam me. I put my trust in this dating site and I’m upset.

I had suspected for a while that this dating site uses deactivated member accounts to continue stringing active members along with bogus messages from potential dates, that mysteriously disappear when the member tries to respond. As a result, will not be renewing my subscription and recommend others read further reviews, available through any web search that doesn't paint a very flattering narrative of this dating site. I will not consciously grant permission of my personal data/info to be misused in such a dishonest way, which is precisely the reason I do not use "social media" platforms in the first place. Thankfully it wasn't a very expensive lesson, but a lesson nevertheless.

I read the reviews and ignored them. Figured it would be different for me. Well, it wasn't. More than 50% of the profiles I have encountered are fake. As some of the other people have stated, you will see profile pictures of someone in their 30s claiming to be 55-65 years old. I have been on other dating sites and Zoosk has to be one of if not the worst. You cannot track your "likes", you can't search for people, bogus profiles are not removed even when Zoosk is notified, and you get inundated with false emails claiming someone looked at your profile, expressed interest, wants to chat. This site is programmed to fool you and don't think you will have a better experience. Try a different site.

I cancelled my subscription to Zoosk one day short of two weeks from when my paid subscription ends. When I cancelled, they stated that my paid subscription ended that day before the one day shy of two weeks. I was a member of Match as well and they responded offering a discount and not ending my paid subscription when I decided not to stay a member after my paid subscription was over. Match.com did not stop my paid subscription, which is the required legal response.

Zoosk, how do we label it. Internet Fraud, Scam, Bait and Switch, or maybe all of the above. In less than 30 days on a 3 month paid subscription with Zoosk my account was cancelled, by Zoosk, citing their reasoning was a security problem. Bogus. Anyone having been living within the last 3 decades knows that the internet has always had security problems but to punish a paying client for a website's own IT failures/shortcomings has no merit. In addition, it was very obvious that Zoosk was/is planting into their database non-existent members. Reviews by others on this forum has also confirmed this.

I purchased a one month membership in the Zoosk dating site, thinking I could meet potential matches in my area. The first thing I noticed after I signed up and created a profile with pictures is the following:

Awful experience. They make you pay for everything over and over again. Fake profiles and automatic messaging. Any form of cancellation/refund or deletion of the account not an option!! Unable to deactivate account once subscribed (only "pause" it as an option?!) Unable to cancel subscription although already cancelled in iTunes, as advised (hasn't updated with them!) They probably hang on to your information so that they can use it for their fake scam profiles. Probably only way to get rid of the automatic renewal is to talk to my bank and renew my card!!!

I paid for a subscription to Zoosk after receiving some 'likes'/'interested' notifications from some lady members. After paying money for the subscription I found out every one of the ladies' profiles that had induced me to pay for a membership were fake! This is not just scamming. It's fraud. BEWARE!!

Received a message from a Zoosk member accusing me of having multiple profiles and threatened to report me. I tried to explain to her that it looks like my profile and pics had been hacked... In the meantime Zoosk blocked my account. Totally false accusations. Called Zoosk and they did nothing to unblock me...even though I had told them I was hacked.

Nothing is free. After about two months was abruptly cancelled without a warning or legit reason. Wanted me to resubscribe and go through the whole process again. Claimed my email was at jeopardy which was bogus. Their site was the only site I used that email for. The only way it could have been at risk is that their site was the security risk. Now I don't believe any of the messaging on the site was legit. Don't fall for it.

I had my Zoosk account hacked. They captured my password, pictures, date of birth and posted false verifications on my profile. I decided to warn everyone I had spoken with on my cell from Zoosk about the hack. One individual I had just corresponded with on Zoosk that morning responded, “You really did want to meet me?”. He then sent me a screenshot of my photo on a cell phone. His response was simply, “I can’t do this to you”. I immediately blocked the number, knowing that this impersonator was also going to obtain personal and private information. I finally got through to a supervisor at Zoosk who financially compensated me. Unfortunately, however, my personal information is now in the hands of some nefarious people. This happened to me twice in four months.

Zoosk, is a scam!!!! Do not join!!!! Once they've got you: they make it impossible for you to cancel your account. Scammers! They have this misleading video where they "Supposedly" tell you how to cancel your account through iTune; so you follow each step: you go to settings, Apple ID, subscriptions, go to their app...And then They tell you" scroll down to "Cancel subscription"...The only problem is that "Cancel subscription" does not show at the bottom and no matter how many times you try it will not, will not, will not let you cancel it. I am going to make it my mission to expose their scam on social media. I am going to make it cost them hundreds and hundreds of potential (innocent) customers and I will contact government agencies that protect us from scammers like Zoosk! Do not join! Do not join! Protect yourselves! Do not join! Zoosk is a scam!

I paid for 6 months. Had it for a month. Deactivated it and then reactivated 2 days later. Wants me to pay for it again. Shows people viewing you over and over even though you're not getting viewed or viewing anyone. Just a rip off.

Zoosk needs to look at some of these profiles. I have met a few people and all of them are convicted felons. IT is not safe. Who knows what other shady profiles are on this website. Great that you verify a face.

I found too many old/fake profiles. Search system is not accurate. My old profile was still active even though I requested to be deleted years ago. Hence why people's profile I seen years ago are still showing up. Years ago I was assured that my profile will be deleted. Obliviously it did not happen. Don't recommend Zoosk to anyone. There is no way to contact Zoosk. The only reason sign up to Zoosk was they rated number one dating site. (Thought they improve the system.) Waste of 3 months subscription.

Buyer beware of Zoosk. I now believe of what others have said about this site. I have received multiple requests from other members who want to chat with me. One by one they have told me they didnt send a request to chat with me. Zoosk is not an honest company. They do things like this to get you to renew your subscription and purchase other options. You have been warned.

First I joined a couple of years ago for 3 months. I met some nice people away but only a few local. I didn't renew when I met a guy through and friend and started dating him. I don't go out often so decided to try it again, this time 6 months. The first thing I noticed was the some of the same people still there. I changed the age range of men but still got older men messaging me.

As many other reviews, after seeing many views and messages I couldn't read notifications, I decided to subscribe. When I tried to pay, my card was declined and my bank texted me my card was blocked. When I called the bank, I was told the website tried to make 12 payments for various amounts between £15 and £60 off my account, which led the bank believe it's fraud. Fortunately, they have stopped all the payments & unfortunately, I need a new card. Well, OK, better than losing £350.

To Whom It May Concern - Stay away from the dating site Zoosk. They, like many others, lure you in with "free" membership. Once you are in you receive attention but you can't read or respond unless you pay. Fair enough, I paid, then for about three or four days I had access and could chat. If the people were real, I couldn't say. But then a notice popped up, telling me to verify my telephone number. I tried and every time I did, another notice popped up, informing me an error occurred and I must try later. I tried many times. Then I tried on one or other website for Zoosk Complaints and reported it at least 5 times. No result. Then I canceled my subscription and give them the reason. Still no response. Please stay away from these people, you are not going to make any real contacts and you are going to lose your money.

I didn't pay for Zoosk for a couple days because I wanted to look around first before parting with my money for yet one more online dating service. I saw several women whose profiles I liked and clicked the 'Smile' button. I was alerted that I had messages from these women. So, curiosity got the best of me (wish I'd found this site first) and I signed up for 1 month. I soon saw that all the messages said a variation of the same thing: "I don't respond to winks, please send a message," which I did. No responses from any of them. It finally occurred to me that I didn't get responses because these are fake accounts to begin with! They're created by Zoosk to dupe unwitting people into paying to be jerked around. What they really get is a pissed off consumer who will cancel and never come back again. I will also spread the word!

I paid $59.95 for 3 months of service. Almost immediately I received 4 different messages from "interested" women. I replied to each of them with a nice message asking a couple questions about their interests. I got ZERO responses. About a week later, I received a nice message & responded within 3 minutes. Zoosk tells me that the account was closed by the subscriber. This is so unbelievable as to completely destroy Zoosk's credibility. I cancelled my account and was told that my account was cancelled, but I would be able to use my account for the remaining 12 weeks. Ummm, Zoosk? That's not how cancellations work. I disputed the charge with Capital One, but lost my dispute. They have multiple clauses & third party crap to avoid refunding anything. This site has A LOT of fake profiles & is a complete scam. PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH ZOOSK.

Zoosk is a total waste of money. It is a badly designed application. Slow with messages. A lot of fake profiles. Misinformation. Out of 10 profiles, about 3 profiles are real. The application doesn't match a person well with a date. I will not support this company and I promise that they are just money reapers!!!!

It’s a complete scam. Went on site and created a free account to look around. Spent a day looking through the profiles and found some women I was attracted to. I sent ❤️ to a few but nothing back, not even a view of my profile. I did receive some views from other females but none that interested me. It’s funny because after I sent the heart, the site encouraged me to send a message which you need to then pay to send messages. Day two I decided to pay for one month and write to the females that I was interested in and were close to me. After paying for the month, I immediately went to find the females to write and NOT ONE profile could be found. I search with specific age, race, etc., and still none of the profiles were there yet other, unattractive female profiles were there.

Worse Dating site I have ever been to. I was on this dating site for exactly 2 years. Talked to one person during that time but never found an ideal date. When I tried to cancel my subscription they told me no way. It seems I signed an agreement with them in perpetuity. Even my bank could not block them from taking the money. So I had to cancel my card and receive a new one. Try any other site but this one.

Well, more of the same complaint. As I'm writing this on 1 screenwriting this complaint, and I'm on Zoosk on the other just watching the algorithm of non-sense that they spew. Here's my story. Well, I started as a non-paying customer but had a profile up just to look around and see who would actually want to meet me. I would also send out smiley faces even though I knew I couldn't see if they received them. So on 1 occasion someone replied back, and that's where they got me. I signed up for the 6 months for 74.99 just so I could see the reply and possibly start a conversation.

From my current experience, as a paying member who is leaving the site, Zoosk does not let you hide or delete your profile. Furthermore Zoosk rejects my attempts to say in my profile that I will not be on the site after my paid time expires. They are vastly overstating the number of people on the site and active number. I got a message from a lady recently who I had contacted a few times saying, "What's up..." and when I replied to her she said that she didn't send that message. Zoosk also will notify you that you have "messages" when there is no message. Only someone liking you in their section called Carousel which only shows you a picture of a person, with no information, such as where they live! That is of vital importance to most people who are looking to date.

If you want computer generated messages, profiles, views do it! It is a bunch of crap. This is part of how companies get away with crap! Most of everything is computer generated period! They use profiles of people that aren’t members. Just a bunch of crap.

I sent a "smile face" to a woman. Then the site made it appear she logged on and sent a message back, within about a minute. I decided to pay to see her message... the message was Auto generated as if by her, from Zoosk and basically said, "Hi, I guess this is an auto reply. I could not figure out how to not have one." It came all as 1 message, so didn't even seem as if she wrote any of it. Anyway, that auto generated "Hi" lured me into paying for the subscription so I could see what the message was, and hopefully start a conversation with her. So messed up!! I called zoosk and hopefully will get my money back and have removed myself from the site. All in 1 day. Waste of time.

Zoosk sends you messages like a real person is looking to meet, just to get you to spend more money to see that person. The same message is sent, but it’s all lies!! I responded with ridiculous stuff... like I’m dying and have millions and nobody to leave it to. And the response was a computer generated response saying, "I see. Let’s get to know each other through email." Same exact message came 10 times. Sad!!!! Don’t waste your money!

So, I visited their site and opened the account on my iPad. I went to pricing page to see what do they charge and since I wasn't happy with pricing, I clicked twice on power button to close the page, but instead iPad read my fingerprint and charged me $84.00!!! No asking to confirm the purchase, no any kind of warning!!! I immediately contacted everyone involved in billing, PayPal, iTunes and Zoosk and my bank and explained what happened, that I didn't want to purchase subscription. My bank and PayPal couldn't do anything. Zoosk said I have to ask refund from Apple iTunes but when I went to iTunes page and clicked on "I want refund" and explained what happened, I automatically got a response that I will not be refunded!!! No investigation, no case number, nothing!!! So people just to let you know, stay away from all these scum businesses!!!

I was in Zoosk for couple months and usually do not go to anyone's profile unless someone sends me a message and shows interest. But few of the guys contacted me telling me that I keep viewing their profile many times a day but never speak to them. As a woman I never make the first move and never volunteer to speak to guys unless they talk to me. During these months I also noticed that many of the guys view my profile multiple times a day but never talked to me. So I called Zoosk and mentioned what these guys told me. The representative confirmed that when subscribers see someone’s picture on the screen or even when they scroll through the pictures, it shows to the other side as “Viewed your profile”. I find this very disturbing because it sends wrong message and gives wrong impression to people.

I have used Match and Bumble as dating venues, Zoosk is by far the worse. They are all a lot of work but Zoosk has the lowest quality men. I received a lot of messages but the people that did meet what I was looking for always lived at the least 150 miles away and for me it is not ideal to date someone that far away. There are many men that have not verified their photos - to me this means they are not real and raises the question did Zoosk create profiles just to add to their pool of people. This site is not worth the time and money! Spare yourself!

Before I "subscribed" I received several comments and offers to chat. Once I paid up... Nothing, zero, zip, nada! Not one response from any of the ladies nor any more views! Save yo' money and choose a legit site!

I was not allowed to use any picture I submitted, all clear and G rated, and very shortly after that, my whole introductory story was erased by administration. Upon calling the 888 939-66765 number to claim a full refund I was told they didn't like my story and pictures. In my story I mentioned Al Grierson, the late folk singer and Daniel Sheehan the eminent Constitutional attorney, as some of my interests. Administration couldn't tell me why they had such a problem with my appearance and spirit but I am writing this review to say how totally ALARMING this experience was to me and to call this maneuver for what is...vicious censorship of certain ideas that may not correspond with some standard "rule" book there.

As you have read many times and these reviews, Zoosk.com as a complete scam! There are tons of fake profiles and yes they use a bait and switch technique to scam males. My photos disappeared and have not returned and there is no human being to contact. There are many other technical issues and this fly-by-night company is completely unethical. It is truly amazing they are still and business. Quite a few women have expressed interest in communicating, however they are mostly well out of the mileage range I specified or I simply have no interest. If we can actually connect a human being to this business, I'm definitely interested in pursuing a class action lawsuit in order to help shut them down.

Zoosk is misleading in their advertising and they do this to get you to sign up with them. If you want to try a personals site try Match.com. You will have a better chance there. Zoosk will not let you do a search based on your parameters. They will give you an endless amount of members. All of them not in your area. 95% of the members they sent me were over 35 miles away. In fact most of them are over 100 miles away. The ability to search within a maximum mileage parameter was not given to me. Zoosk never responding in writing to my letter they requested for me to send registered mail in regards to their membership agreement. Do not waste your money on Zoosk. They lie in their advertisement. I’m recommending Match because I was able to control my searches. They have not offer me any benefit to recommend them. I’m being 100% honest in telling you that in that site you are in control of your searches. You are not in Zoosk.

I recently had an experience that was similar to other complaints. I was getting several notices that I had messages from women. You had to join to get the message. Then when I tried to look at their profile they said it had been deleted before I could even see a message. The last one looked real in my area. So I thought maybe it was legit so paid the $30 for one month. Of course it wasn't and just threw the money down the drain. My guess the company is behind this bait and switch to make customers give up dollars to connect with non-existent profiles.

The same profiles keep shuffling through everyday. A further annoyance is the fact that nearly all profiles are least 50 miles apart. One of the rare positive reviews labeled those who haven't been impressed with the site as "losers." I think the product is the real loser.

I have been on this site only for 2 weeks, even though I purchased a subscription for 3 months! This site is the worst possible dating site. It produces scammer after scammer profiles! It’s ridiculous! Don’t make the same mistake that I did! I will always regret my choice for joining it. I haven’t met a single person there. I spoke with few who asked me about my email address and wanted to exchange pictures. Some few other people told me that my profile was nothing out of the ordinary, and passed me a phone number that I took as being a scam. It’s a waste of your time! My experience with this site was horrible!

The Zoosk dating site lured me in and I paid for the three months upfront to see if they were legit. Well...they are definitely only setting a fish line with bait to get your money. I don't feel like they are truthful and are basically a con game. I'm just letting you know what to expect from this site. I don't like or recommend it along with many others.

I have had excellent results with Zoosk… well beyond any other site. Not only have I experienced several great dates and quasi relationships, I now have a steady thing going with someone that suits me very well. I believe many of the people complaining about Zoosk are detail scrounging losers by nature. Any site involved in business of this nature, is going to attract scammers, fake profiles etc. Unfortunately, it goes with the territory, and the "shopper" needs to be aware of this going in. The site's financial requirements are somewhat higher than many other sites, but well worth it in the result pay off.

The site is not very intuitive. The photos that I tried to post were of me and taken by me. I made no attempts to obscure me at all, but they were frequently rejected. Meanwhile, profiles of women on there have close in pictures showing only an eye or a nose or part of the face. They charge a metric f-ton of money for very basic services, to even get the features that would make the site almost usable they want an additional tier of expenses. So let's say basic access with the ability to contact people is 80 dollars for 6 months, to get notifications of msg received and so on, is 2x that amount. That is not even the highest tier of functionality, it gets more expensive. Rip-off much?

I decided to give Zoosk a try, I was only going to try for one month bet let the cost of the six month plan sway me. I have been a member of the site for about a month and have been FULLY DISAPOINTED but it. I am receiving messages from the site telling me that someone wants to meet me, only to find their profile is un-viewable or will cost me extra. I have received notices that my profile has been viewed, but its always by the same 10 women. I made sure I canceled my renewal, just 10 days in but I am mad that they DO NOT give refunds. This site is nothing more than a money grabbing con and I doubt anyone has ever met someone on it. Wish this review had the option of 0 stars. SAVE YOUR MONEY!

This site is a complete fraud. You cannot even "deactivate" or delete your profile, you can only "pause" your account. I will report this to the commonwealth attorney of my state. I received ten to twenty emails from the site. 10 top picks in my area or more "Smart Picks"... So and so viewed your profile, you have 8 messages... SIGN UP WITH FACEBOOK etc... The site seems to be "data mining": trying to get as much information about you as possible. You get a loop of pictures of women that can ignore your search criteria at any moment. There seems to be someone with ADMIN PRIVILEGES overriding whatever you to do... The site seems like a trap. Once you create a profile it cannot be deleted. The site moves you to the page they want you to be on. Finally you realize somebody is playing "computer games" for your money and your personal data. The dating aspect is merely the BAIT!!!

Much to the same dismay of other online dating sites ZOOSK does not protect paid users by lack of screening for fake profiles that are incomplete OR have no picture at all, so a bulk of interactions are either a waste of time or putting less suspicious users at risk of internet fraud. The amount of users especially locally based is next to nonexistent - in less than a day you will have started seeing the same old nonmatches 2 - 3x over. If you want to waste $12 or more per month with the hopes of not even finding someone compatible enough for a coffee date - enjoy. Or you can be bombarded with pen pal possibilities because you will only find profiles on the other side of the galaxy. If there is a better online venue, to actually try and meet a possible friend or partner, I'd like to hear of it.

False site - do not join. You will get a lot of views, ramp up a lot after a week and you now paid. The views are fake, talk to girls who have viewed you a ton of times, and they have viewed you once if at all. You send messages to people to find out there is no interest and haven't viewed you. It's pretty low to screw with people on a dating site, hard enough already.

I get between 10 and 20 messages a day from fake profiles. The fake pictures are evident with phone numbers written across the photos. There is no way Zoosk admin are reviewing these photos. Nighttime is 10 times worse as the overseas fake profiles wake up and start flooding you with messages. It's crazy and a waste of money and time for real!! Good luck!!

I can't really prove this, but I'm pretty sure a significant amount of the accounts on Zoosk are fake, created to make it look like there are more people online. I constantly got messages saying "this user wants to chat with you", and I'd send a message saying hello, and not ever receive a response. I could see a few times of this being just someone who accidentally clicked on my chat box or something, but it happened CONSTANTLY. It was always these accounts with no details filled in, and many of them are named "A Zoosk User". They all have the same name format too. "BeautifullySassy", "WonderfullyBeautiful", etc. It's like they couldn't even be bothered to put more than 10-15 words in their random name generators for these fake accounts.

When I first create a free profile, I received many (10+) views a day with at least 2 messages from what looked like above average woman. So I decided that a 3-month membership was worth to see what this may lead to. I responded to the woman who sent me messages and no answer back from them. I continue to receive views and messages but every time no messages back. Then I decided to stop my subscription and lo an behold, more messages and alerts about above average looking woman wanting to meet me.

I did not want to renew my subscription. I was not signed up for automatic renewal payment. I did this through the subscription section on my phone, thinking this would handle it and I would not be charged. I checked on the day of renewal and my credit card was charged. Per Zoosk you NEED TO 24 HOURS before the date listed! I requested a reimbursement explaining I did not want to continue the account - did not receive a notification that the account was nearing its end. The representatives read from a script and do not address the concern, I received a partial refund. There needs to be a notification system that the subscription is nearing its end. It's just plain wrong. So bottom line you cannot cancel on the day you think your subscription expires, it needs to be the day before.

A customer recommended this site to me. Said it worked for him. But I have 2 big disappointments: 1. In order see whether someone sees your message, you have to "upgrade" and pay more money. More exposure, you want? "Upgrade" and pay more money, etc. 2. Site says "So and so wants to chat with you". You respond, say you're interested, send a smile and like back and nothing. It's almost as if a machine generates the "interest" just to keep you hooked. A link below keeps wanting your attention and says "Upgrade". Are you kidding? I already paid for 2 months in full! Why the upgrade.

I did not want to renew my subscription. I was not signed up for automatic payment. Money was paid through Paypal without my permission. I requested a reimbursement explaining I did not want to continue the account - did not receive a notification that the account was nearing its end. I got charged another 3 month subscription regardless. The company refused to reimburse me. There needs to be a notification system that the subscription is nearing its end. It's just plain wrong. It's a poorly set up service to start with. I gave it 6 months but was unhappy with the whole program.

No customer service help - I got an instant reply from a profile that I had "liked". I responded and about an hour later HE responded saying "I did not send you that initial post responding to your 'like', not sure what happened". I tried to contact Zoosk to tell them that something is not right and could not find a way to contact Zoosk with a question. They had ready made questions, but none that fit my question, so I could not get a response. Something is not right, but no way I can find to fix it.

What a friggin joke, it shows all these people that are looking at your profile every day but when you ask them they say they have looked at yours. Stay away. It’s a big scam!!! Try to put that in your profile about yourself and watch what happens, they take it down as soon as you post it, but put up something in that line and they say 24 hrs for review. They took my posts (4) down in 5 mins and less. They know what they are.

Will offer a trial then bill you for 6 months, everything is an added billing. Expect to be charged more than $200 just to sign up. Completely unusable user interface. Horrible place. Fake profiles. Just don't do it.

I wish I had read the reviews before I spent money with them. Fake profiles from Uganda, Nigeria etc. Microtransactions to get full access which is a total waste of money for no return. I'll be disputing this with my credit card company.

I have used other online dating sites such as Match.com and eHarmony in the past. They both have good customer service in my opinion. I heard about Zoosk via email. What an absolutely horrible experience from an organizational and customer service perspective. It’s generous even giving Zoosk one star out of five. Buyers beware. They are a nightmare to deal with. I purchased a 6-month subscription around mid 2018. Just before my expiry in December 2018, Zoosk sent me an email offering me 25% if I renew. Along with the email, and just after my subscription expired, I also received notifications that people on Zoosk had sent me messages. So I bit and renewed again. Only to discover that I was charged the full amount for 6-months and the messages from these so called “people” appeared computer-generated?

Big scam, only there to make money. They send you indication that a member visits your site several times, even though it is not true. As you are happy that a member seems interested, you subscribe in order to send messages that will be read. When you finally reach the member, he tells you he has been on your site only once and is not interested. Have asked them for a refund, but no news as of yet.

Many months wasted. People will view every day for months but never reply. That makes no sense, it appears that they are not actually people. I had one or two brief conversations in over six months but approximately 70 viewers a day who would not talk. Makes no sense.

The site is offering the basic package of $60. Every small thing require purchasing coins on top of it. If you want to check hidden it’s another subscription, unlimited messages another subscription but the main money machine is the coins. They charge $1000 for 1800 coins and they charge for boost 250 coins. After one day of subscription I purchased 1800 points for $100. I pressed on boost and some strange small window opened with numbers running which is not anywhere in their help manuals. I pressed few times to get out and apparently I just activated more and more boost and finished in 10 minutes the $100 coins.

This site and Match are the biggest scammers. I’m surprised that they didn’t shut down yet. Online dating it’s like eating the leftovers. But in this sites there’s no leftovers. They have fake profiles or people that have been there long time ago. But this guys even when you close your account they do keep you in there. Otherwise they would be out of business if they would show people how many people they have signed in. Before you pay for dating sites make sure you read the reviews.

I paid for a subscription then downloaded the app and the site still did not recognize my membership. I still get offers to subscribe with no admittance to the members even though they took my money! Also, it seems like at least half of the female "members" are fakes. They look too good to be true like they are professional model pics. And there is always only one pic for many profiles which have no self-description. Basically Zoosk is a rip-off scam. Save your money and don't waste your time. Use both for better purposes elsewhere.

I subscribed twice. The second subscription became more suspicious as each week passed. The selection gradually became smaller, with few people sending more than one or two words as a greeting. One person sent me one message during the night, which he retracted with a second message telling me never to contact him again - before I actually responded.

Prior to the membership, there was no mention of having to purchase coins to procure the opposite sex responses. Then I noticed that all the ladies that I had blocked out, were back again, with some of them wearing different clothing. Next I noticed that all the responses were "system generated" by probably a computer. The ladies that men see are just photographs taken at random by someone working the scheme. They're not actual people and they're not really living there or have that identity either. The whole thing is an fraudulent practice along with a scheming upsell to swindle hard working people. People stay away from Zoosk or be prepared to get ripped off. No one there will talk to you either. Fraudsters who should be stopped in their tracks.

Well 99% of the people on there are ** scammers and they should not be trusted. They try this scam where they want you to buy an iTunes card. The Swift old iTunes card scammer trick. That's what they are. They're scammers on Zoosk. Beware. Do not go on that site to meet anybody. They are scammers.

Truly awful is the best way to describe Zoosk. It's manipulative and dishonest. You never know if the people that have apparently viewed you actually did, or whether the site falsely represented them. Some I have contacted, they informed me that they hadn't viewed my profile. They are a site set up to fleece the unsuspecting. I would stay away from this site, and any site that interferes with your choices. This probably means any site set up to choose an ideal match for you. Nanny sites, even if they're honest. Doing a search (distance, age group), of 28 pages (767 members), only 22% (170) had been online 'recently'. Of those, some are not going to exist, some will not be a match. Very slim pickings, and on a site you can't trust.

THE few first days I was on Zoosk, I got a few respond to my messages, then after keep asking for pay extra to upgrade, in order to allow my message go through. I feel so sad, that I have been a victim of such a scam, the site is run by crooks and they don't even provide the contact to complain or ask for explanation.

This site is plagued with fake accounts, your membership is just the first place they rob you, then to do anything on the site you have to pay more... It's just a hoax, terrible site. Stay away from these scam artists.

I didn't provide a photo right away on my profile. Zoosk retrieved a picture from a device that I downloaded the Zoosk app to but never logged in from that device. It stole a picture of my grandson. When I made an account from laptop the picture, from my phone popped up as my profile picture.

I met a real and nice man. All of a sudden he went silent. Three days later for only a few minutes our texts reached each other. I immediately gave my two contact numbers. I had to go to a meeting so I ran upstairs to get a fresh shirt and jacket. When I returned, I clicked the Apple iPhone 6 home button to light the screen. HE HAD COMPLETELY VANISHED. He was nowhere. I usually found him on my account. I called the customer service and a nice older gentleman tried to help. There is no way for anyone to be searched on the site. He said I’d just have to keep swiping until he showed up again.

First of all you receive these people who are interested in you, guess what? You have to become a member to have any communication. They seem to disappear after the first contact. There are a lot of scammers on the site to filter through. There are not who they pretend to be. I found a couple of photos I did not add to my profile but are on my computer, scary!!! I found this when I tried to delete my profile, which the site confirmed but untrue. Still receiving messages. This is truly a scam, hope I don't get billed for continuation which I have written to cancel and no authorization for further payment. How are these sites able to run legally??

Attempted chat feature on the site, phone and Facebook. The only one that chatted with me was disjointed and had too long a lag. No way of knowing if they responded or when they responded. Most of the people online were the same every time. Wonder if they exist? Paid money to join and they wanted more for an enhanced chat?? What? No way. The distance parameters that I set do not go to all the sections only search so I was asked to meet on man who was over twice the distance and I could find no information on him. Had never sent him anything.

If anyone is looking to go on a date site....do NOT use this site!!! They are thieves!!! If you meet someone and choose to pause your account, don't even bother to pause it because "pause" does nothing. You will still get charged even when you are not using the site. Unlike other date sites, if you put your account on hold, they will let you pick up where you were and not pay extra. Zoosk also has mostly fake profiles, and fake messages. There is also this tab that says this one is interested or that one is interested and then when you go to look at their profile the site blocks you from checking out the good looking people that supposedly show interest in you. The whole site is a scam and the people who run it are nothing but thieves. They are so desperate for members that they have to steal from the members they already have just to get the renewal fees. If you are smart you will NOT join this date site.

This was the Biggest example of Fraud I have ever encountered in my life!!! They censored my profile constantly changing words or blocking them all together... Never knew if someone actually got my message or not 'cause I wouldn't pay the extra 8.99 per month for premium messaging... The only members I could chat with were 1000s of miles away...could never chat for long with anyone local... They just quit texting or disappeared altogether. This a coincident or purpose to keep you chucking out the dollars. I deactivated and cancelled a month early due to overwhelming frustration and hope the, the, that's All Folks from Zoosk and they don't try to steal any more of my Hard earned money!!! What a Scam!!!

Zoosk has given me nothing but frustration and wasted time. It is stocked with "fake" profiles, floods my account with "fake" page views, fills my inbox with "fake" messages, and teases me to follow "fake" Carousel trails that lead nowhere. After four months on Zoosk, I have been approached by so many scam artists that I have lost count. Yesterday, I was contacted by four more of them.

I went online and canceled my subscription to Zoosk about a week before the auto renewal - at least I thought it was canceled. Next thing I know I got my credit card statement where Zoosk charged me for a new subscription. When I called them to explain the matter, they refused to refund the full subscription price and argued and argued with me. What happened is when you try to cancel there is a number of things you have to keep clicking on, basically "are you sure you want to cancel" items. I must not have clicked on all of them and thought it was canceled. I can't believe they would go to this extent and lose my future business all for $30. This ought to tell you everything you need to know about this company. I strongly recommend you NOT do business with them.

They send you “smart picks”. Well there is nothing smart about them. I set a 20 miles distance parameter and most suggestions are for men 40 or more miles away. I also set parameters for men 55-70 and they suggestions for men well into their 70s. The selection is poor and they have a carousel feature that only shows age w/ a picture. How can possibly know if you want to meet someone if they might live up to 100 miles away. I signed up for 6 months... What a mistake. I’ve tried customer service and they ignore my inquiries. Consumer beware!!!!

CREEPY, insane-looking guy emailed me, "**" in response to my one of my politely worded preferences. I blocked and reported him. IT DID NOT WORK. A few days later he emailed me again with a crazy email. I got off the site. No follow up from Zoosk. No phone number to call Zoosk. You should read this guy's profile. Nutjob. How was he even allowed on there? Filters don't work. Fake profiles too. Who needs it? GIRLS BOYCOTT ZOOSK FOR ALL YOUR SISTERS' SAFETY.

I decided to cancel my subscription 30 days before the renewal was due. On the very same day I cancelled Zoosk sent a direct debit through to my bank for $14.95 and $34.95. I was in credit and this was obviously done as a reaction to my cancelling. In addition I've sent complaints to their complaints twice over the last 10 days and have received NO replies. Clearly this company is fraudulent and should be shut down. I've been ripped off!. What can ConsumerAffairs do to protect customers?

Had 4 scammer solicit money or iTunes gift cards. Very few credible local matches. Same people over and over. I think they have someone to send you a message so you have to pay to look even if they are not even in the same state. After you join the people will not talk to you again or some were scammers. Phone verification is required; otherwise they will not let you read messages after paying the subscription. Then after verification; I started to receive scammers calls. This was a new number and not registered with anyone prior. Stay away!!!

I had gone on different dating sites for a few years took breaks here and there. Then went on Zoosk a year and a half ago talked to a few men met some. Then I talked to this one man for about a month and we met and we both knew right away that we had found the right person. We hit it off right away and a year and half later still going strong. So I highly recommended using Zoosk. It was easy to fill out the requirements and easy to navigate. Thank you Zoosk for making the right match!!!

I had joined Zoosk for 1 month and paid thru PayPal. I would receive messages at 2:00 AM with a message from some chick and when I would click on messages there would be butt ugly women and nothing like what I was looking for. So I called and canceled my subscription before the 30 days were up, however my card was charged again because PayPal set them up on recurring payments so I should have known to go in and stop any recurring payments. Then called the customer support agent. She stated there wasn't anything she could do for a refund. So I explained to her the next call would be from N.C. Attorney General's consumer protection office for misrepresentation and deceptive pay plans. She then put me on hold and a supervisor stated there would be a credit issued that day and said she was so sorry for the mix up. Just some insight - don't be afraid of using the same method and your refund will happen quickly.

The site is fraudulent, both in product and billing...read the reviews. Don't give them a credit card #. Simply beware, go elsewhere. As well, the 'pause' is bogus, billed me anyway. Called, they said it was authorized, I demanded connect with someone who can deal with it, quickly got call back, no problem...clearly a practice to bill, hopefully not noticed, likely decline if you sign in to find out what happened. Call the # on your bank statement...again, FRAUD.

The website automatically block viewing 18 to 29 years old from my searches. It only displays profiles of females 30 years old and older. It looks like moral majority is back and now offering dating service.

I cancelled my subscription before the 30 day subscription expiration and automatic renewal and they still proceeded to charge my credit. Do not give them your credit card information or they will keep billing regardless of what they claim is their policy. Lesson learned the hard way.

I signed in on the free site, then tried to log in 2 weeks later but was unable. I contacted them by phone and was trekked at by the customer service rep then his supervisor for wanting my profile deleted. They insisted I give credit card info or it could not be deleted. I told them I would report this to the police but they were still uncooperative. They claim my site is being used by 3 other persons and to stop them I had to pay for a secure access account and they promised to refund my fee! Do not give these people your credit card info or debit card. The dates are fake too, you just get a revolving message of fake people who have viewed your profile. One star is way too much for these criminals.

Zoosk attempt to rip me off. I went on Zoosk. Had not paid anything. I would browse men daily and received notice men sent messages. After a while I decided to subscribe to read messages. As soon as I put credit card number in they attempted to charge my card 18 times. The transaction were 2 seconds apart for different amounts. My bank Fortunately blocked and flagged fraudulent. As result canceled card and waiting for new card. Please people stay away.

Twice, I have had my account deleted. I originally purchased a year-long membership, but about nine months in, my account disappeared and I received login errors. When I contacted them, they said they had no record of my account, even though one week earlier, they were sending me alerts for activity on my accounts. So I restarted the account and paid for a month, after three weeks, they lost me again with the same results - no record of my account even though they had just sent me account activity alerts to my email address.

Like many people said here, I also believe that Zoosk with their website/application is a scheme to some point. I have a computer and two mobile devices. I have installed the Zoosk application on my two mobile devices. Of course, I had only one account and one profile. I bought a paid subscription for one month to check the site, before paying for a longer period of time. At first, I was surprised by the number of people who were visiting me in Views, and the number of people in the Carousel and the candidates in my Search!

You can find better and real people at the grocery store. They start with a few nice young women then once you start, you will see what is the real world on this site. I should have asked myself, why even I want to try it. They send emails saying they found my match, my match like 55 to 60 yrs old when I am 38 yrs. They send pictures of nicer girls but when you clicked, that person is not even on the Zoosk anymore. The filter does not work, the collection of the ladies is 10 to 20% accurate. If you want to be busy just for fun of it then try it otherwise, go on the street and find real people. People that have no fake profile and pics. Almost all the dating sites are the same as this one as far as I heard from others.

This is a fake dating site. It is full of fake photos and fake messages. Fake candidates. It is basically a scam and I never met anyone that was real. I had contacts from many people that turned out to be computer-generated messages. This is a fake dating site and do not waste your time or money.

I paid a subscription and completed a profile, adding 4 photos which were very clear and up to date. However, they kept asking me for a photo (the ones I had submitted were not showing on my profile pic but were lower down) and I was unable to message anyone because I had not submitted a photo (which I had). Drove me nuts!!

I find the conduct of this dating site to be totally disgraceful, given the fact that they must know what is going on and yet they continue to behave in a shameful and irresponsible manner. I worked it out myself what was going on when I was not getting any responses from messages I sent. If I did get a response it must have been the company itself that was behind such trickery. A few days later when putting it to me from experience that this site is not to be trusted and that was enough to confirm my suspicions that something was terribly wrong and that some kind of scam was in force. It was when I challenged one member to finally decide after this member had viewed my profile on numerous occasions, and the putting to the member that Zoosk is pulling the strings did I never hear any more from this member.

I've reviewed a few comments. Agree It's FAKE. Receive a message that someone wants to "chat". Yet the "someone viewed you section" never has them listed! Is that reasonable? Even had a FAKE (BOT maybe) break down in Gibberish... Should be investigated. Well, If it's even in the US.

This site is a big scam just like Match.com. I was a paid member on both sites, unfortunately. They both do the same thing, profile views people wanting to meet you and Fake messages to get you to join and become a paid member. Once you join them nothing. Your messages disappear and nothing after that. I've never really had a problem with one of the free sites. After deleting my account all of a sudden out of the blue there's more messages waiting for me. This site absolutely sucks and somebody needs to shut them down, both of these sites. Match is just as bad.

Much like most of the complaints I have read here, I unfortunately am no different and just as much as a sucker as everyone else. I joined because I had no luck on any free site and thought maybe a paid site would field better results... they are actually worse. I have gotten multiple profile views and not wanting to come off too strong I would send “smiley” face emoji’s back, I’m averaging about 50 views a day. At last count I got about 17’ish or so from a women’s account I never looked at, a few I did and a lot more that were hundreds miles away.

Zoosk just charged me for another 6 months without a notification of ANY kind. I thought I had cancelled my subscription, but apparently not, I called customer service and they would only refund 50% of the auto payment. What a lousy way to do business! Watch out or you get scammed like I did!

While you are a free user you get constant messages telling you that someone likes you or has messaged you that you have to pay to find out who it is or read the message. On the messages notification the number keeps climbing due to the amount of people supposedly interested in you. So one day you decide to pay for the site and instantly those messages vanish from existence. I had 13 messages waiting for me and while I paid they all vanished because they didn't exist.

Someone approved a fake profile in my name using my credit card. I had to cancel my credit card and call their Service Support. They said they had not put through a charge... but there it was! My bank removed it... NOT THEM. If they had read the VERY old profile they would see it was NOT ME! MY RECOMMENDATION - STAY CLEAR OF A COMPANY THAT ALLOWS IDENTITY THEFT!!!

This site is a joke! They send false messages that members are interested in meeting you or worst that you are interested in meeting them. And you never viewed the person. They took my picture down because I had sunglasses on! Then took my other pictures down because I was riding my show horse! I called customer service and they said that the picture could only be of the person nothing else but in the picture. I asked for a manager. There was not one available. I ask for a refund. They could not provide that either since I purchase through iTunes!

Zoosk like all other dating sites is chasing users away. They inflate viewing someone's profile to serious attraction and other lies to trick you into becoming a member. When I canceled my membership, I suddenly got several messages from guys wanting to connect. I won't fall for that one again. The reason people don't respond to messages is because they don't know if it's real or the site's marketing team.

Interesting way that the company makes their money. #1 they don't want you to meet anyone so that you'll leave the site. How do they do that? The beautiful, quality people live 100's to 1000's of miles away. The very few that are in your immediate area that you could actually go on a date with could fill a cattle truck, they are so unappealing. I mean who would put a picture of themselves asleep in a recliner, with their mouth hanging open, as their profile picture.

A Zoosk feature is "carousel," where members allegedly announce they want to meet you. It costs "coins" (may be earned, but mostly seem to be sold to already-paid members) to make or respond to a carousel selection. The announcement is moderated; you get a notice that "(name) wants to meet you! Is the feeling mutual?" But these notices are curious. 28 people have selected to meet me over a couple of months. Exactly three times. In exactly the same order each time. With no other members selecting/contacting me. And no one I said, "Yes," to contacted me further. The same 28, exclusively, in the same order, three times. And no follow up. What conclusion would you draw?

Zoosk doesn’t allow you to see people near you. Zoosk CONTINUALLY asks you to upgrade or pay FOR OTHERS TO GET YOUR MESSAGES! Good luck trying to find someone twice. If you accidentally swipe, you CANNOT go back without paying a fee! This site is crap and I mean crap! It’s the worst $79.99 I spent. I severely recommend NOT even posting on this site. Oh, besides that you may find one or two people within 5 miles. Everyone lives hundreds or thousands miles away. It truly is THE WORST! STEER CLEAR AND STICK WITH GRINDR OR SCRUFF. They actually show you people nearby and you can actually communicate with them without paying 9.99 to “boost your profile” for a freaking CHANCE that someone might read it. ZOOSK IS A RIPOFF SITE! Don’t PAY A DIME ON THIS SITE!

I applied to this dating site following my divorce. Not prepared for what was ahead. l was bombarded by divorced men largely. Not knowing the behind many of these profiles are fibs of age or even criminal activity. Well I was not prepared for the scams on the site nor were there any warnings from this company itself. No way to complain or report. Furthermore this site states they are not reasonable about what happens on their own site. Here’s one common scam overseas. Civil Engineer but you think he is an interested person looking for love. Turning to but stuck in a country in need of money or an iTunes card. Continues so long as you want any relationship and they prey on vulnerable women looking for love. I am telling what happened so that the next person will see and hopefully prevent this hurt.

To be very brief, I joined Zoosk about a month ago. I think it's a joke. I've responded to multiple profiles, e.g. "I like you, you like me, let's meet". It never goes any further...no meetings. Same profiles no matter how you customize your search. Terrible for middle age group. The majority of profiles that show up for me look like my grandmother. Never again!

I tried Zoosk few times, and few times was only disaster. This was my last and worst experience. They offered me 6 months for a very price, I decided to give them a chance. You are not only getting limited profiles but always the same trashy fake profiles from non-existing people. Tomorrow supposed to be my last day before my subscription expires before midnight. I called them around 9:00 PM after I realized that my account was charged day before my subscription expires. They charged my credit card without my permission, before 5:00 PM (they are working only until 5:00 PM EST). Dishonest scammers! Never ever Zoosk!!!

I decided to take one more stab at online dating since “experts” say it is a great way to meet people. I did Match.com a couple of years ago and didn’t like it, but decided to give Zoosk a try because it was rated as one of the best. I signed up for the 6 month membership to really give it a chance. I’m not a model, but definitely attractive and a good catch. In the first 3 months, I’ve met two men in person for coffee. One talked an hour and a half about his ex-wife and was living for free in a friend’s RV. The other talked the first 10 minutes about his health problems. Neither asked me much about myself. It was pretty dismal.

I haven’t received any response from this site. I accepted every women I saw, cast a wide net. I haven’t received any replies because I’m not spending more money. If I keep buying stuff from this site I won’t have nothing left for my date. They're just throwing up everyone. Then you choose them. Then you have to pay to read their message confirming your mutual admiration. How wonderful that feels vice versa. Then you're faced with a new unexpected hurdle. More money. I’ve been on the site about a week and I tried to back out an hour after but I’d already paid. At least I can do for myself fail without paying more and more money go to a bar or event.

I used this app for about a month. Much like many of the reviews I received a lot of matches, hearts, and smiley faces but no real conversations. Much like Tinder. A lot of men looking for a hookup buddy. No real conversations until well I decided to respond to one of the smiley face messages with an actual question based off his about me. I spoke to the gentleman (aka my fiancé) for about a month before we went on our first date. We had so much in common the conversation went on and on without noticing that it was 2 am. Mind you I read his lengthily about me that helped me determine if I even wanted to start a conversation. I canceled my account shortly after, it was very easy and have not received a message from the site since. Before this site I was on many free or different dating sites and see similarities in how people interact on these sites.

Once you pay the initial they always try to get you to spend more, ie, to get messages if someone is interested in you. Also, they do not pay attention to your personal info, as to persons in your preferred area. All I get are people in New York, Canada when I especially noted a 20 mile area of my home. Will certainly not renew.

I joined Zoosk but not as a paid member until I decided I liked the site. A few days in I started messaging with this member. I saw that he kept on viewing me what seemed like every hour for a few days. Of course I was excited thinking he was really interested in me. Long story short through my investigation and other reviews, it turns out that Zoosk pushes through fake views to entice people to pay for subscription. Well they didn’t entice me. Instead they discouraged me and I closed my account.

I really don't know where to start with this 30 dollar waste! From the price to the computer generated views that never happen by the actual person to the search selection (that is completely useless) and the quality of men. Okay, I get it! When Tinder came to be, it gave the green light for men (and women) to just look for hookups. Problem is they brought their behavior to other sites. Paid sites, free sites, any and all sites. So if you are a single woman today and you are looking to meet someone to get to know Zoosk is NOT the place. Yes, you can fill out the lengthy questioner as to what you are looking for in a prospective mate. HOWEVER, that means absolutely nothing! Not even on a SAVED search! So you spend most of your time blocking (not interested) because Zoosk just randomly sends views to your profile. And if someone actually does view you, Zoosk just keeps sending views by the person who really only views you once!

If youre looking for a new mate youll never find her or him on this phony website. 1. Theres no way to screen for body type. 2. Theres no way to screen for race. 3. And youre not going to hear from anyone because the site is as phony as a 3 dollar bill!!! Yep, it's just another bogus dating site, meant to steal your money and give you one bogus picture after the other to look at. Save your money guys. Find a good bar with live music and stay away from this farce of a dating site.

Zoosk is a scam dating site Ladies and Gents. Guys stay away from this site. They are thiefs. I get robbed. In the system there are no real people. No one is responding to your message because there is only fake pictures.

I signed up for Zoosk because it is rated as the top dating site. TOP apparently means most suckers. This is some of the worst software I have seen that is being sold as a working product. It does not work well. So far the worst is the Chat feature. Messaging would be better with a tin can and string. This is unacceptable. I want my money back! Messages get hacked up and strung out. It's a mess. No excuse for this. There is working, tested chat software available. Instead they pay 100 monkeys to create junk that has their name on it!

I signed up for Zoosk and had been communicating with a gentleman who I was very interested in. Went into my account this afternoon and there were pictures of a woman other than myself on my profile. My email and phone number had also been changed. This person was communicating with gentlemen using my account and it was obviously intended to scam money from men. I emailed Zoosk to let them know. They CLOSED my account without replying to my email. I called Zoosk and they said I would have to create a new account under a different email but any communication I had was lost. A male friend was contacted by a different scammer on Zoosk a few months ago so this is not an isolated incident. I asked what security measures they were taking to protect their customers and they were very vague. Zoosk is quick to take subscription money but seems not at all concerned about protecting customers.

Aside from the hours I'd spent trying to get through to customer service in connection to a sex offender who is on their site (I finally had to call new subscriptions to get through to someone), I gave them all the info they could have needed to get this person off their site, and had many different reasons as to why they couldn't find him. I'm sure they'd have found him if he owed them money. Had to insist on escalating this. He was finally taken off the site, but... in 5 days he was back on! And, you know, it costs 28$ a month to as many background checks as needed. Why can't a multi-million dollar business not only not be able to find someone who could be a danger to its customers, but find it too much to spend pennies to do what's right? Almost all of the sites are like this, so - women AND men - do your due diligence unless with one of the few sites that actually take that one important step to have an ethical business.

Many profiles contained the same generic verbiage and it immediately became clear they were scripted and computer generated. Makes me wonder if most of the people on the site are real. The computer generated responses were based on my activity being monitored to see who I've attempted to contact. The amount of views again and again by the same people is unreal.

Lots of smiles and hearts, but absolutely not one single person actually interested in something actual -- which tells me it's a scam. You have to buy "coins" to connect with anyone where there might be potential. Truthfully, online dating is mostly people who like to look, but have no intention of buying, but Zoosk is the absolute worst. Once you've paid for a membership, you shouldn't have to give them more money to get membership benefits. Run like hell from these crooks.

Just to add to all the comments already written, they make it nearly impossible to cancel your subscription so it doesn't renew. I'm still trying to figure it out with the help of Apple customer service. With so much competition in dating sites, I'm surprised they're able to survive.

I first would like to cite that my only reason for rating my experience as only one star is because I can't give it a zero. Were it possible, in fact, Zoosk would be getting a negative five stars after the experience I have had. After being single for nearly five years after the girlfriend I'd been with began dating another man (leaving me empty-handed), I decided it was finally time to move on and restart my love life. My first choice would have been to sign up with a professional introduction service, since my past experiences with online dating have hardly been gainful ones, but the admission cost was not within parameters of my personal budget at the time. Options were limited however, since I work in a male-dominated profession, have very limited social life, and am not churchgoing (nor do I want to be).

I was using Zoosk successfully when suddenly I got access denied. No idea why. It asks me to answer questions but when I click continue it goes straight to access denied. When I click on customer support it goes straight to access denied. I had contacts on there that I can’t now talk to. If I delete and start again I will lose all my data. There are 2 phone numbers and they both have the message temporarily unavailable. Has anyone else had this problem and resolved it? It is extremely frustrating and annoying.

I was woken up this a.m. by a church member who let us know that my husband's photos and general information had been used to create a profile on this site!!! A silly Halloween picture, drinking songs, meals and bad spelling are dead giveaways for this multi degreed minister, who I'm sure will have his own complaints when he has time, but really, who vets your people? I'm sure people don't want to waste any more time on love than we do on all this being hacked garbage!!! Follow up with phone calls or something!!! Take this profile down, someone will get hurt, and not by my husband?

I joined Zoosk in January 2017. I had lots of viewers, and a few smiles and hearts, but no one wanting to meet until 14 FEB 17 when I connected with a really nice man who lived a couple of hours away. We saw each other a few times because he worked most weekends. Long story short, he turned out to be a serial dater and one woman was not enough for him, not a relationship I cared for. I have met a couple of other men since being on the site, but most men are too far away, or are scammers (engineers who work out of the country, etc.), always a red flag. The men say they want a relationship, but most really don't, they just want a hook-up or just want to view you and not say anything. I have cancelled my membership after being on the site for a year and a half and not meeting anyone worthwhile. It has been entertaining and something to do, but that's about it.

I concur with all the other 1 star reviews. Total scam, easy to subscribe but very hard to cancel. Once I managed to cancel they sent me notices that many nice looking ladies had recently been attracted to my profile and pressed me to subscribe again so I could connect with them. This continued for about two years after I had unsubscribed. I actually knew a couple of the ladies they said were interested in me, and had known them for many years, and those specific ladies had never tried to contact me at any time. Why would they as we already did things together, socially, and had for many years.

I cancelled my subscription before the date that they would automatically charge for another month. And they still charged me for another month and would not refund my money. I feel they are running a scam and are not worth doing business with.

I joined Zoosk back in September 2017. I honestly don’t know what people are talking about in these reviews that there are fake profiles. I had several new and different men who contacted me each day. There were plenty of “real people” on the site. While I must admit that 98% of the men on the site were not men I would date, they were plenty of people to choose from and get to know.

It appears that not all "matches" are current, that is, some of the people viewed do not have a current membership and cannot be contacted/cannot respond. I tried to provide the date my membership was good through on my profile and it was not allowed. As is, the site is a waste of time and money. Membership can only be discontinued using a PC. I joined using a phone, why can't I quit the same way? This site is a sham, totally.

Of all the guys out there, Zoosk matches me with my ex-fiance I left via police escort for my protection. Definitely a bad call, Zoosk! The name-calling, online stalking, producing evidence of his online stalking with pieces I'd posted on a recipe website (!) continued until I blocked him. Needless to say, that ended my Zoosk account. And online, offline dating in general. I have 2 jobs and a teen to homeschool. My time for anything outside of career, kid, pets is pretty limited. Why waste it with potential criminals, police involvement?

Save your money. This site monitors your activity to see who you're attempting to contact...then sends you phony emails pretending to be the contact. Just to give it the appearance of a site that would bring two interested parties together...it's a total scam!!! This site couldn't match Adam and Eve. Worthless!!

Experience has been unique. All kinds of unique characters. I like the many questions we were asked to join and make a profile. But I wish they would ask a little more personal question to really get a closer connection get. I enjoyed the company of many members. I felt like the connections were genuine. I like how everything in my profile is set up and how I can post any picture I want. I get updates of my members constantly. I really like that I don't miss on any new member. I would very much share and recommend this site to anyone looking for love.

Zoosk is a scam. Most profiles don't exist, they take your money and ultimately to contact people, you need to spend more. You can't revise your search, most profiles are computer generated. A waste of time and money, 99% of "profiles" are either not legitimate or totally opposite of the search criteria. I chose this based on Google's rating of #1. This site requires legal action, if I can stop one person from making the same mistake, then it was worth my time to expose them.

A few weeks ago I paused my Zoosk subscription. Some urgent family health issues came up and I did not have the time to support this mode of dating correctly. I paused my subscription on the day it was to expire. I did not look at any messages or view any tabs during this pause. A few days later I clicked on a link to open the web page and close my account, with this action the subscription was automatically renewed. Just with a click... My intent was to close it NOT reopen my subscription. In my complaint to Zoosk they referred to some popup message warning message which was an renewal agreement. I did not get this message. I have requested 2 or 3 times via email to cancel my subscription and remove any new charges that might have been generated. I keep getting the same automated response.

This is paid dating site that wants you to pay for more privileges as a full account member. The amount of views again and again by the same people is unreal and then send someone who viewed you a message and they never respond. Even after multiple messages attempts. Seriously, as a paid member for a 3 month $59.99 membership; I highly recommend checking out other more credible sites... I don't know what those are yet as this is the only dating site I have tried. If I attempt to try the online dating again I will NOT be using Zoosk. And I'll be doing some better research. My research to make me chose Zoosk as the dating site to try was based on the #1 rating. Where did this rating come from. Good luck.

Zoosk is a great site for working individuals, I really love it and recommend it to anyone. It boosts confidence and relationship skills. It is really nice. It's neat and fun. It's fast and you find dates easy. Thanks for caring about the customers and being there for me.

Zoosk was easy to use. It was free for 3 months so that is basically why I used it. I liked that it was linked to Facebook so that while I was on Facebook I could see if anyone was trying to talk to me. It was also easy to switch over to Zoosk then switch back. It seemed like a lot to fill out but I get it. Zoosk seemed to match up with some guys I would go out with. However, most of the guys on that website were terrible. They did not want to date. I hated talking to most of the guys... they were dogs so to speak. I would want honest men who were looking for that special person that were truly interested in a relationship.

Zoosk is a complete scam. The profiles are mainly fake and the upgrades are useless. I sent a message to each person that “viewed” my profile for over a week and asked them to reply with anything so I could see if my messages were being received - not a single response.

My experience with Zoosk was ok. Not as good as I had hoped. But I've definitely seen a lot worse sites. I believe these sites charge way too much for the service they provide. I would like to see more sites with premium options you would normally have to pay for, to be offered free.

Zoosk.com is an online "dating service" that has personal profiles that they advertise as being nearby your location. The people in the profiles emailed to you messages to get you to sign up. I found zoosk.com once and I signed up and created a profile with pictures. I received 9 messages from "members", so I decided to get a paid membership. I sent messages to what I thought were members near me only to find that those friendly faces in the profiles I was trying to contact really aren't going to respond to my messages. I thought there was something wrong with my phone because the people in the profiles seemed to be interested initially saying they looked forward to hearing from me.

Zoosk has to be the worst dating site I have ever been on! Unfortunately there are no regulations on these online dating sites on how they can scam and get away with ripping the public off. Zoosk had a lot of phony member profiles that turned out to be just a way to lure you in. I signed up but wanted to check the site out first before paying money to communicate with others. I got many phony email messages saying interested members liked me and wanted to chat. So I signed up for only a month luckily, and replied to all emails and not one reply. Coincidence? I don't think because as my account was ready to lapse because I didn't want to renew, I got hit with a bunch more emails and some from the same earlier ones saying they wanted to meet. These emails were all scripted and sounded the same with bad writing skills!

Zoosk was a good site with plenty of good matches. It was easy to customize my profile so I could get what I was looking for. Without paying the fee though, the matches were not very good. Once I paid the fee, the matches got even better. It was easy to use and the matches were local and had things in common with me. I just don't like the whole online dating thing. It is hard to really know what the other person is really like. A lot depends on what the other person chooses to post about themselves. Overall, it was kind of fun to use the dating site if I just relaxed and took things in a laid back way.

Zoosk is rated according to Google search as number one in free dating sites. First of all this site is not at all free. Secondly, many of the profiles listed on this site are from website subscription telemarketers which feature both male and female profiles. In the larger metro regions such as Chicago or Detroit the chances are better than average in meeting real people, but in smaller rural areas such as Cairo, Illinois or Wickliffe, Kentucky you are more often than most to find a fake website telemarketer. Posting your personal profile is free and easy but do not expect to meet anyone without paying their fees.

I awaited for 6 months before a became a paying subscriber and held only the basic account membership that allowed only very limited actual communication. I decided to subscribe as the Zoosk service said I had over 80 letters in my mailbox that I could not access without becoming a paid subscriber. So I joined and paid the $120 fee just to look at the upon reviewing the messages I noticed that many of them contained the same generic verbiage and it immediately became clear that "messages" were computer generated messages. Not actual messages sent by Zoosk members.

Honestly I only browsed the Zoosk site for matches but I wasn't thrilled by it and never made any actual connections. I liked the wealth of information (statistics, demographics, etc.) about the matches and the fact that it's all so easily accessible. Also, I really liked the format, it is like Tinder in that you select the matches by either liking them or scrolling by, in essence disliking them. It's easy, fun and quick. On the other hand, Zoosk can use more people! I hardly had any matches that were close to me so I was left with limited options in the end. I'm not sure if that's something they can realistically change, it could just be a geographic issue, but for me it just didn't work.

This site is a huge waste of $$$. Not all, but most of the profiles are fake. The few that I believe are real every one of them are 100+ miles away. Before I paid and was just looking there were a kind of women close. Now that they got my $$$ they all disappeared, nowhere to be found. Total scam.

I think Zoosk is okay, but it is annoying that conversations are stuck behind a paywall. I like the ability to promote your profile and that you can link up your account with different websites. It shows you a set of different potential matches periodically. It seemed like it was going to implement new features with meeting in person but I think you had to pay for them. I think that there is also not enough options for finding people because I am bisexual and it doesn't let you search for men and women at the same time. It didn't seem very inclusive to LGBT people, which was what led me to use other sites. I was not that impressed with it to be quite honest.

I should have vetted the service more before signing up. That's on me. Once you buy a membership, you still need to buy coins to communicate with certain members or to interact with them in some ways. They have a feature called SmartPicks, which only sends me profiles that are 30 plus miles away. When I asked how to change this, they said I couldn't. When you're connected with a SmartPick (both parties like each other), you have no way of contacting them. When you're online, you get banner ads that say "Upgrade now to guarantee communication with any member." This is such a scam. Don't sign up for this at all. I'll wait for the class action lawsuit.

I'm all about a business that is trying to make a profit, but I am against a business that lies to you. I received so many views a day it almost made me sign up... until I did some research. The "views" are bogus, don't let it go to your head as Zoosk is obviously lying about this. If they were really interested, they would return the messages I sent them. 10 views a day from several of these girls, for 4-5 days straight. But not one response... go figure. A "smiley face" or "heart" is free for anyone and shows that non-paid members are interested.

STOP. Don't waste your money. It's nothing but men trying to get money from you. It's the same people all the time. No matter what you put in your setting anything under the sun contacts you. The men are disgusting. Pictures of them without shirts, this one had open red scabs on his face. Seriously the most horrible site ever.

No one ever responds back and it is always the same circle of guys you view even if you say they are not your type. Most of them are not attractive, fat and old or very far away. I paid 30 bucks for a month of service and it was a huge waste of money but as soon as my month was up all of a sudden I got 10 messages which is letting me know Zoosk is playing with my emotions. I will not ever recommend this site and will tell anyone I cannot to ever come here.

My overall experience with the online dating site Zoosk was really great because I never got any creepers on my page and if someone was bothering me and I didn’t feel comfortable that I could always block or delete that person. I also liked that all of my personal information was kept private and only I myself had the option of giving it to others. Although I disliked that some of the people on there actually lied about their age or they really didn’t look like the same person they had posted as their profile picture and I also didn’t like that Most of the people on that dating website were thirsty and nasty and they just wanted ** instead of a relationship.

Never again and I will ask anyone out there please do not register here. You will regret. Go find your own mate. You will better off that way.

Signed up for the basic account. A few hours later had 8 messages but couldn’t read them without paying for the premium account. Waited a few weeks before taking the plunge. The messages were all BS. Haven’t had a single message since paying. I tried sending a few messages but kept getting a popup window asking me to pay $10.99 so the person I sent the message to could reply. WTF! What a rip-off! I already paid and I expect to have full access to everything. Don’t do it!

This is by far the worst dating site I have been on. They falsify information given to the user. So many times I was told people wanted to chat with me. They didn't. So many times others were told I wanted to chat with them. I didn't. I kept being told the same people over and over again were interested in me. You have to pay for every service or you can't do anything on the site. There are so many scammers despite their so called security measures. Give this site wide berth they are only in it for the money not to help you find a partner.

Ok, it's fairly simple. Signed up for free account. Discovered I couldn't actually contact anyone without paying. Subscribed one month $35. Started messaging ladies I was interested in. No response. Took part in 'carousel' to help determine my 'type' a few times, kept getting basically same types to reject. Got bombarded with 'matches' who were all well outside some of my more important parameters. Still no responses to my messages. Eventually clicked, if they are not subscribed, they CAN'T respond in any way. Suspended subscription & cancelled account. When asked, I explained that as a dating site, they are surely about communication. Arrgh, cant hold it back... We need feedback to our attempts to contact others, it's basic communications and socialization. I'm happy to take a hundred 'sorry you are not my type' messages in a row, as long as someone is responding. To get nothing over and over is literally unnatural... creepy even.

Zoosk doesn't nickle and dime you to death, they $10, $20, $30 or more you to death. You figure when you sign up and pay, you would at least be able to send or receive more than 1 message without having to pay extra $$ to see if it was sent or read. Definitely don't say anything negative in your profile, Zoosk moderators edit it. They kept sending the same pics/my matches that I showed no interest in, over and over. Sent a few messages out to people I was interested in, received one reply, simple yes or no from them would have sufficed, replied to the ones I received, nothing back. Makes me wonder if most of the people on the site are real. Definitely would not recommend it to anyone. Paid $30 for a one month subscription, what the heck was I thinking, shoot, that was 4 days worth of happy hour!! SMH.

I subscribed to the dating app, Zoosk, hoping it would be a better quality than a free app and I was disappointed. The same thing happened with “Fitness Singles.” On Zoosk, you only need to create a minimum profile and don’t even need to provide photos. You can set your preferences, but I’m not sure why, they aren’t heeded anyway, not by potential suitors nor by the smart pick generator. Also others view your profile, stand by for tons of attention! The ones who you will not be interested in will be the ones who truly ARE interested and will message you, send you flirts, and gifts.

I downloaded Zoosk at my phone last October and never used their service since then. Recently I found out two charges $53.94 and $74.95 dated on APR 9 from ZOOSK 1-888-939-6675 San Francisco. I called back and talked to a customer service rep who said her name is "LOVELY", LOVELY said I set up an account with them and my photo was already on their website!!! I told her that I never used their service and I don't know how they got my photo and credit card info (which stored in my phone for Apple Pay). She said they cannot credit back for these two unauthorized charges and there is no supervisor there to talk. I immediately called my credit card company to block any further unauthorized charge from this ZOOSK, and started a fraud complaint process.

I subscribed to Zoosk, and I ended up getting a message from a guy who claimed he was only 39 years old, didn’t smoke, and drank occasionally. He looked really young and handsome. We exchanged numbers and pictures for about a week, and then we met. The guy was actually 45 years old, white thining gray hair, and a huge fat beer belly. I decided to continue seeing him despite his dishonest profile. A few weeks went by, I was falling for him because he seemed very wise and sweet, but I began to notice he had a drinking problem. One time, he was drunk, and for no reason, he started verbally abusing me. He called me a fat pig, an old hag (I’m younger than him), he called me an uneducated prostitute, and a stupid **.

Don't waste your time and money on this site. Bunch of losers on it. A lot of the profile information is lies. People write what you want to hear even if is a lie. Zoosk charges too much for nothing. I tried it to see if it was worth it, I regret it. I rather meet someone in person than pay bunch of money for nothing.

I've been on this site off and on for 6 months and was really beginning think there was something wrong with me, My profile or pictures. Till I started reading the reviews only to find out that almost all the likes I've sent and messages never reach anyone and I never get any likes or messages from anybody, except for one or two women that I want nothing to do with or come anywhere close to my interest. Don't know where Zoosk comes up with all the pictures and profiles that aren't members, but I think it's B.S. that they show you pictures and profiles of people that you can't communicate with. I live in a remote area of Alaska with a population of less than 400, so I kind of depend on website to meet people. This site is a complete Waste.

I am very inquisitive and didn’t trust the person who contacted me so I did my own research and verified my suspicions and I was correct. This person was not real and totally stolen name and pictures with a heavy accent for being someone from London and Virginia. Anyways didn’t trust and got them before any damage done! Called Zoosk and they wouldn’t give a refund till I threatened to sue them for lack of security and system that they claim to provide! First and last time I am ever on a dating site!
