So what are you saying? Is it a hook up site? Aren't they all. Sounds like more to this than meets the eys

[Conniff]

Do you actually pay via this site Linda ??

Hi

 

Have you had a good read of there Terms & Conditions (look at the very bottom of there webpage as the link is there)

 

have a good read of it especially No. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12

It's a con site, It shows a padlock on the sign up screen but is not an https url and lack of a padlock on the address line.

After sign up is says you need to activate the account by clicking a url in an email they send you, no you don't, just log in.

I just signed up as micky mouse and am in the site.

 

It is also an illegal site and should be reported. Any UK site that takes payment must have a landline number prominently displayed as well as the full name and address and email address.

They have none of those things. Anyone who gives debit or credit card details to a site like this needs educating.

Have moved you into the General Consumer Issues Linda.

Coniff I just had a look and although I think it expensive when I went to pays my money it came up https so maybe we are being a bit quick to judge. Also you do not HAVE to pay

[Conniff]

The sign up was not secure, all your personal data. I did see the 's' on the payment screen but it still fails on the rest of the requirements re phone, address and email address.

 

I noticed you don't 'have' to pay, but sites that take money have to obey regulations and this one isn't.

I had a quick look at the site and saw that it did include an address and phone number on the "Contact Us" page. As well, you posted the man's full name (as well, his name is included on the "Meet The Team" page). Is the rule that it needs to be on the front page?

 

You are completely right about the security issue, though! There is no SSL and any information sent on the website can be easily intercepted. Not good! Not to mention that the "verification" they use is for Wordpress... Not an actual social platform.

 

Veeeery shady. I don't recommend using this site as a serious method to meet other people, as your personal information seems to be easily compromised...

 

There's always the coffee shop!

[Conniff]

The phone number is a mobile and not a land line.

[Seraphesfahan]

The phone number is a mobile and not a land line.

 

Oh! I didn't take that close of a look at it so I must have missed that!! In that case, you are absolutely right and this is very shady. There should be a landline as a mobile can be attributed to just about anyone and is not grounded in any way.

 

Who can we report this to?

 

Good catch!
