false advertising neglect of service
Greetings hello
I made a complaint earlier on about this unreliable dating service about unauthorised use of a mastercard Since then I have nade several complaints about taking several amounts out of my account without authorisation After trying to use one of the many sites they have available There should be a regular survaillance of this agency They have for sure no customer service just plain ignore any requests or complaints There bigger than Texas or Hollywood why should they reply
Even thouigh I have unsubscribed they go ahead and send me other plans they have specials to resign discounts Heck you sign up for a three month plan for low cost Then the hidden cost s come in you need to be in the V/I/P MEMBERSHIP more costs then you need to be aware of getting into other members files another charge
The false advertising is that Im was informed that there was 22 members wanted to contact me on that getit on site even before i tried to get full membership at that time no photos all around my suburb
See being the other side of the world i am easy pickings for them just think multiple sites extra hidden charges no customer service access to banking details and never in the three months made any contact plenty around the states but as for Melbourne Australia none not even photos and dodgy profiles the list goes on and on They should be monitored regularly thanks again David Frazer Noble Park Melbourne Australia [protected] mobile
UNAUTHORIZED use of mastercard
Hello and greetings
Its nice to know that their is a complaints page for an organization as for ADULTFRIENDFINDER browsing through quite a number of google site complaints over the years I have been caught up in the Adult friendfinder unauthorized multiple payments made from my master card What has happened I try to sign up with getiton web page not knowing it is one of many sites on Adult friendfinder my membership was about to runout on their main site
Along with passion.com another i signed up and made no contacts as with their main one reported a woman wanting big sums of money they never got back They just keep peppering you with other sites to join YOUR JUST ANOTHER NUMBER there So I went to sign up with getiton site And around six times I was told your unsuccessful in getting through I had sent monies through before But this time it was rejecting my attempts
So when I look up my bank balance they Adult friend-finder had taken out two installments that I didnt authorize AND MADE COMPLAINTS to there service desk a number of days ago They have nt got back to me as usual
Its absolutely true. They have a stupid fraud system called AUTO RENEW. They will not tell when starting to subscribe. But once the subscription expiry comes, they will send you a mail saying your AUTO RENEW is set to ON and hence amount will be automatically deducted from the card. Then I have totally closed/deleted my account. But still they are charging my card. I am going to give cyber complaint in India. Within a month, this site and payment will be blocked in India.
But currently I have blocked my card and requested for reissue of my card.
Fake ads
Just go to the main page of adultfriendfinder.com - look at all the model names. Then go search for them inside after you signup.
None exist.
Also, on upgrading my account, I was not upgraded instantly. I had to email customer support which surprisingly did it within the next day. The friendfinder/adultfriendfinder and suite of sites has been running on old code, shoddy business practices and such for over a decade. Sadly, it is a very common site everyone puts ads up for as it probably converts pretty well due to their fake accounts.
So far I've written tons of people on the site, only found 4 real ones, the rest were ALL spam - I gave my email address out (a disposable one) and received plenty of spam from it, so humans read the message (or AFF scans messages and then spams you themselves, who knows) and the spammer's account -does- get deleted. However, meeting REAL people seems to be few and far between and DEFINITELY not worth the money.
It's a shame that a site so big is so hard to use, still uses the same design from 10 years ago and continues to be full of fakeness and fraud.
I could understand spammers trying to use it to get people roped in. However the site itself is fake, so I wouldn't trust anything. It would be nice for an alternative site that doesn't rip you off and has REAL people on it. Maybe I'll make one.
I'd attach proof photos but I think this isn't very unbelievable, anyone who's used it knows it, and I told you at the beginning how to prove one of the most basic things on their integrity :)
Oh,
Also: in the past I signed up years ago, I think just for the normal friendfinder website and could not get out of being billed without calling multiple times and emailing multiple times.
Now I'm scared I used my normal card for this and even though auto-rebill is taken off.
I think the best thing to do would be to buy a pre-paid disposable visa with a limit.. That way you can pay for the month or whatever and if they try to rebill it's useless -and- it's not personally attached to you.
I got duped again but I had hoped that AFF might be different being 10 years older with a lot of real people but it is still slim pickings even for unattractive people I can only find a handful in the area... any my area is usually full of freaks and people looking for one night stands and fetish sex and such. Very odd...

Fraud and lies
We have been on AFF for about a month. Everything is going good, no complaints, pics are with in rules, chatting with in rules, etc..While I was logged in, they deleted our account. No reason why, I had to send in an email to find out and here is their response:
We have recently acquired an email, traced to your account, that is an obvious attempt at fraud.
Because of this severe violation of our Terms of Use, we have deleted your account and permanently banned you from rejoining our network of sites.
I still have no idea what the *** they are talking about and they have not responded to my reply to their email.

Opened a acccount with Adultfriendfinder on 5-8-10 cancelled it on 5-9-10. They still took out a months membership fee out of my checking. 24 hours for $19.99.
I want my MONEY BACK...
this sites pop-ups were loaded on to me PC without my permission; via a trojan & a worm that sent itself to everyone in my address book.
do not want it, did not ask for it. Want it gone!
Would like to know who to contact to complain too! Tired searching for them but everything is a dead end.
hexxar OMG the same thing just happened to me I'm in shock . i also couldn't log in i sent them an email asking why not and they sent the same thing you wrote about accusing me of fraud that I'm banned for life and if i try to join other sites that they have i will be prosecuted ...im like WTF is going on . AFF have given me about 3 free memberships for being top viewed top liked pics and top rating member, Now they have all my pictures wouldn't surprise me if they will be the ones committing the fraud with my photos.

Why did my 2nd comment go before my 1st?
This is my 1st post:
At pcforensixrus I believe you're the fraud here. Come on, everything you write sounds like verse from some FBI shows. Also it's cyber not "syber". It isn't even as if the "s" and "c" letters are that close to make a mistake by your grimy fingers. And the "Hello you can call me Robert" just creeps me out. I'd report you as spam but I want people to watch for scammers like you. Actually I think it may be best that I do. *PLEASE READ*INBOX.COM IS NOT A SAFE SITE TO CLICK ONTO. JUST GOOGLE SEARCH "WHAT IS INBOX.COM"DON'T TRUST EMAILS FROM THIS SITE IS MY ADVICE.
As for Adult Friend Finder. It's July 2014 and I have found definite improves to the site but only in the last 6 months. Of course there is the issue that as a woman the membership rules are not quite the same. But then again Woman Rules and Men Drool. Lmao. Just kidding y'all.

I have been banned many times yet I do know ways of hiding myself as well as my IP .
I know the wide web is interesting to many, Are you interested in stopping these fraud stricken people ? I devote my off time in syber security & investigations to try to make a difference out there in the cyber world . Id like to get with you maybe e-mail and we can go from there . If you rather not I do understand, Id just have to bring them down on my own like I intend to .
Thanks for your time & I hope to here from you either way let me know your feelings on this matter . thanks again

This is the same email I have gotten every time I've signed up. It's as if they are like Paypal, where if you don't login from your home IP address, or if you sign up someplace other than in your home area, they automatically flag your account as fraud. I went out of town, logged, in, and the NEXT day, got home, tried to get into my account, and BAM! I got flagged down. Either that, or they allow other members to flag your account just like posts on craigslist, if they don't like your look, or what have you. It's total BS because of all the detail you have to go into just to set your account up!
AFF never discloses their reasons for banning people's accounts. It's insane! And they keep all the profits from the Memberships AND points! AFF needs to be investigated for sure!
Scam and cheating
There are plenty of real girls on this website. If you like fat women or butch lesbians, you're in the right place.
Most of the attractive-looking women on this site are bots generated by the site or professional models/customer service people who talk to you in order to entice you to buy more services. Usually this is in the form of webcams, 'credits, ' upgraded memberships, etc.
This site is not a way to meet women. It's like an online strip club where every girl is trying to sell a lap dance. None of them would ever hook up with most of you; they just want more money.
MOVE ON AND DON'T PATRONIZE THIS SITE! It's a big mistake!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
AFF is a huge brand but they don't care about their database too much, as the site is FLOODED with fake profiles.
I got more lucky with HookupHangout.com. I was skeptical going in but was glad to be found wrong. Chatted with quite a few women and had some, that i thought, possible matches. Went out with one woman and we had most wonderful time together.
It is all about patience guys!
Don't get yourself fooled. Look for real looking women. Remember super models don't use dating sites.
This site is a rip off.They swipped from my credit card the entire amount for a year, when I just signed in for 3 months.The refused to return the ballance.The only respond from suppousely horny and ready woman was an autho reply.I suspect, that is nobody on the ather side - just a robots.Stay away from this web site.
Agree with the above posting, C4P has gone down hill club-swing or Kasidie.com are alternates. lifestyle lounge is very very clickish and almost NONE of the profiles even have head shots.. the people were what made c4p a decent site but the owner has really driven the site into the ground.. AFF is really only a good site if you want to jerk off at home looking at other peoples profiles or buying credits for webcam shows...
To the above post Clubforeplay sucks balls, the owner is a ego maniac who thinks its his personal political soapbox.. the site used to be fun and cool but any more it just sucks .. you should check out some of the other sites like Kasidie.com .. I mean I agree AFF is a rip off as well .. but C4P is NOT a viable alternative..
This site is basicly a ripoff, although there is real ladies on there from time to time the majority of the ladies are only on there to make a extra buck by fooling guysin to joining . They have no intention of meeting you, but if they can get you to join they make a commission . If ya dont believe it just take a look at their affiliate program ... I agree with another complaintant on here - most of these girls are mostly generated by the site operators and are totally fake - they will send ya flirts all the time then when ya take a look at there profile they are mysteriously gone, lol.. Just a big scam for the most part... If your looking for a swingers site try clubforeplay.com, this site has many great cpls and singles that are for real and they do a good job of keeping us posted on events in the area in which we live ... Singles and cpls on clubforeplay are validated by other users so ya know they are for real, and clubforeplay dosent pay folks to fool others into paying for the service .
I joined once, contacted about 15 girls, none of which turned out to be more than internet based stripper wanting you to join their fee for service web cam sites. If you want to bump uglies with uglies, you may be able to find a few here, but the super attractive girls on this site are getting paid to be there. Go to your neighborhood supermarket, bar, function, etc to find a real date. No easy thing found online.
although there seems to be a lot of members that are bots by the host there are also marketers signing up for the free acct and then getting you to click a link. Usually from a hot chick but think, What super hot chick resorts to trolling internet dating sites to get laid. not many younger girls, 19-late twenties, but there is a good stock of divorced ladies around 38-44. I've had great success getting real world sex from adultfriendfinder but be smart, chances are the supermodel that thinks your geeky self is cute is probably not real.
Buy a Logitech super cam it turns there fake pics in to magazine pages and there fake vids into beach towels Ill be banned in ths USA for this but fuk em they are thieves!
AdultFriendFinder — Scam and cheating
I think it is scam. They also post fake ads on gumtree and other classifieds sites and from there when someone answers they direct him to their web sites to see more pics or to chat with them. Idiots!Their purpose is to get sing ups and later convert these sign ups to subscriptions. My job is online marketing and i understand better what they are trying to do.
Here is a trick to find out if the posts are real. Put you msn addres on the top of your profile and say that i only dicuss on MSN. You will see that you are getting the same messages and nobody invites you in msn. If you get to chat and aks you to chat there it is a scam probably paid by the web site.
Fraudulent site
I've been a member of AFF for a couple of years.. I've met a few ladies through the service so that's not my complaint. The issue seems to be more about their deceptive practices. This is now the second time it's happened to me.
This is the issue. You purchase monthly subscriptions and if you buy more than one month, you get a deal. I've always purchased either three or six month subscriptions. They claim to have a feature that you can either turn the automatic renewal off or on. This means that if the subscription expires and you have the automatic renewal 'on' it charges you automatically for an additional month.
The problem is that this feature is not on on the billing and credit history page as they claim in the FAQ resource page. Or it wasn't on my page now for the second time during my time with AFF.
The first time it happened, I thought it was my fault because I just didn't know where it was located so I had it turned 'off' by the billing department. Well, last month, a monthly charge went through even though the automatic renewal was supposed to be 'off'.
So as the month came to an end, and I go to turn off the feature..and I can't find it on my account profile. I called the billing department, who were very rude even before I told them what my issue was. The lady claims that it's on my page..she logs in...then puts me on hold for 5 minutes. Then comes back and says that she's talked to the programmer because it doesn't seem to appear on my page.
After reading some other reports on this site, I realized that this is a common practice...where the feature doesn't show up or the automatic renewal is turned on all the sudden.
I decided to cancel my subscription and the lady practically kept me on the phone for another 5 minutes trying to convince me to remain as a member..or at least an 'inactive member' so that I don't lose all my account history.
So, I don't know..could it be just truly be an issue on my page? Maybe..or with all the members that they have if they pull this trick off on a fraction of their customers and get a way with it..they are always ahead.
I can't remain a client of a business I no longer trust..

OMG. I signed up 1 day in June and cancelled the same night. yes looking to see if my X was on the site and he was. Just realized that they have been billing me for 7 months. When I call them its always a foreign person stating that they are in California...ya right. I was offered a 3 month refund 89.95. What about the other 4 months...Why are they even giving me 3 mos back because they know they were wrong to have deducted it from my account. They always say the manager is engaged in another call and tell me to call back in 30 minutes...when I call back they tell me to call back in 3 hours...i do then they tell me the manager is out to lunch. tonight i called back and asked for the manager. She puts me on hold then comes back 3 min later and claims to be the manager. I told her she was the same person I was just talking to...Is there anyone that can be contacted...consumer affairs. These people are just stealing.
Unauthorized Credit Card Billing
I signed up for a 3 month period as a gold member and had clearly marked the DO NOT RENEW OPTION on my page. I was away for a while and didn't catch the problem at first but they had been billing me monthly for 3 months past my initial signup. Once my GOLD membership expired it should simply have dropped back to a no charge standard membership!
My page was clearly checked as to do not RENEW. They have been billing me almost $30.00 a month and the charges are totally unauthorized!
When I attempted to cancel the account they forced me to send an email
to their staff instead of allowing me to immediately cancel the subscription.
I am still waiting to hear from these losers! I have printed out my page with all the billings that occurred and its pretty obvious the RENEWAL button is highlighted to off! I have since contacted my credit card company.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS OUTFIT!

AFF did the same thing to me...
Called customer service and obviously ended up with some lady in another country. I asked for them to refund the 2 months they overcharged but they attempt to offer free services to the site. Which I obvioulsy declined 3-4 times
Then finally they offered to refund the money the took
AFF has billed my CC when I had the auto renew button set to off- twice. The first time I thought maybe I screwed up (knowing I really didn't) then a few weeks ago I got an email from AFF stating that my account was about expire and my auto bill was set to off. What happens, AFF set it ti on and billed me. DO NOT give these [censor] your CC info, if they can illegally bill me by changing my billing setting without my permission, they will do just about anything with your CC#
I agree. I had my account's auto renewal turned OFF, switched back from Gold to the Standard membership, was Hidden, and then was Disabled. I hadn't logged on to AFF for three months, and had received NO emails from them. And they STILL autocharged my card for renewal! The customer service rep had the audacity to tell me that I ticked, on Terms and Conditions when signing up, that I understood that auto charge with continue even if I disable my account.
Also, they will charge your card TWO DAYS PRIOR to your renewal date.
I threw a fit, and he finally credited me back my money, less a day's worth.
For those who can't find their number, it took great effort to find it but here it is:

They are frauds. They defrauded me out of more than a $100 by charging me for a three month membership when I signed-up for a $13.95 one-month trial. They are fakes, frauds, and will not return of money stolen from unwitting fools, like myself. They should be jailed for such heinous fraud, but will probably just keep moving around to avoid prosecution.
I signed up for a one month membership trial and had $135 stolen from my checking account. There is no recourse. I reported the theft to the Attorney General, but my state has little authority over them because they run their fraudulent operation from another locality. Don't give them an account number or a bank check number. They are thieves.
I have just experienced the same damn problem. The renewal button was clearly marked OFF. But lo and behold when renewal time came around, it was back to on. Because I assumed my account was off, I was shocked to see the charge on my Bill.
I can't even find contact info on their home page.

Most adult sex sites are fake. Check out my comments at the following link:
Charged my card after I called and cancelled/Unwarrented withdrawl from my credit/debit card
This company withdrew money from my credit/debit card w/out my permission, after I called and cancelled .
The operater i spoke to told me that my sign up was never valid when I called to cancel the same day that I signed up, and my account
would not be charged .I'm sure that my phone bill will show that I made the call. I WANT MY MONEY REFUNDED AS IT WES TAKEN
W/OUT MY CONSENT! I am willing to take what ever step's are nessiscary to get my money back.
their code on my bank's billing statement is [protected]

I never joined or even looked at that site and was just charged 74.99 took me googling it and finding this to even know what AFF was they are just taking peoples money !
I to cancelled my automatic and after that I cancelled my profile on Friendfinder.
This site is completely useless. I signed up for the gold membership for $130 and knew after about a week that it was completely bogus. Unless you want to hook up with someone completely below your standards, good luck. The only legitimate responses i got were a few gay men that were posing as women. Take a nice normal girl out on a date or go to the bar or club and spend $50 tops and get laid. DO NOT USE ADULT FRIEND FINDER it is a complete false advertisement and a major scam as well!
Noticed a .43 charge on my card, then a $54 charge right after. This is definitely a criminal move. Place a small charge on the card to see if its still valid and then go for whatever you can.
I caught this happening on my card just now and am about to go to get a new card number.
It wasnt a credit card so I cant file any claim I would imagine.
If you want to get them down DDOS the site, its $40 a day but guaranteed downtime. Keep them down forever!
My husband joined AFF for the both of us... When we both decided it wasn't for us we cancelled our accout or so we thought. Within the next few days they began to charge us 12 times over the same amout of days, in differnt incriments. The charges were anywhere from 15 to 25 dollars totally to over $230.00. I know that is not a lot of money for some people but for us it is. When I called to get my money back each person I spoke to told me some different and kept transferring me to a different office ... If you think of joing after you read this... STOP... Rethink... go to a bar and meet someone... I promise it is cheaper.

There is no theft going on with this company. If you don't ###ing read what you are signing up for, that is your problem not theirs. I do agree that their customer service can be ###. I spoke with an individual on the phone about cancelling an account, and he proceeded to get into an argument with me about auto-renewal. I ended up hanging up on him and getting connected with someone else. Other than that person, I have had good dealings with these people. The person I ended up getting on the phone next was very helpful and courteous. He even gave back the money I was calling about. No mess no fuss.
I to cancelled my automatic and after that I cancelled my profile on Friendfinder. The MF:s STILL billed me after that for 75$. Please I to want to do whatever I can to get those ###ers! Hate companies like them. Its pure theft and nothing else. I dont know how to get to them. Please someone E-mail me if you want to do common cause with these svines. They still have my visa information and Im worried they will continue to draw money from me even though I no longer have a profile

These criminal ###s have been taking 29.95 USD from me every month since August, I just noticed and I have no idea how they got my credit card info. Anyone know how they would have gotten my info?
By all means. Take whatever steps that are necessary to get your money back! Treat them like the criminals that they are! Check out my comments at the following link:
Fraud and cheating
I paid for Gold Membership and when I tried to send first email I was immediately directed to log in page where I have never been allowed in again. I try and request support and DO NOT hear from them. It seems that there are many who have been ripped off by this site, who can we turn to? What can be done? Please respond and I will dedicate my free time to stopping this company from taking others money to.

Adult friend scam - TOTAL SCAM BREAKDOWN: READ TO SAVE 39.95 & MORE
(remains unresolved)
When you call to ask for support, SOMEONE WILL ASK FOR YOUR PASSWORD TO 'RESOLVE THE ISSUE', but in fact do nothing but review your account and steal your 'free account' information. They will then ask for your phone number, which is not even attached to your AFF profile as a verification method in any way. This is the first step of the scam called identity combing/phishing! The website is designed to force you to submit (and unknowingly authorize) use of personal financial information to bind you to recurring fees that are hidden in the terms and conditions. A person who doesn't speak well enough English or know US customs will access your account and continue asking for information. The more you call back, the more foreign the accent becomes! Eventually, they will not answer your call! This is a manipulation tactic used by scammers worldwide!
If you use a gift card to purchase a membership, IT WILL NOT WORK and YOU WILL BE FORCED TO CALL THEM (since you can only refund a gift card for store credit you will have no other choice but to use it). When you try to use your gift card to pay over the phone, guess what, it still won't work and AFF will pretend to retry. Now you just GAVE THEM ACCESS TO YOUR GIFT CARD PIN AND ACCOUNT PASSWORD for your AFF account. Accounts using normal banks will simply continue to be charged, while accounts with gift card purchases will be SHADOWBANNED. This is how modern romance scamming is operating. Companies like Tinder will shadowban and continue to take your money, but the terminology they use allows them to view you as a criminal and legally steal from you, although you are legally no criminal. Tinder cannot discriminate based on sexual related prosecution, so they will instead use shadowbanning, emotional manipulation, and financial corruption to fight against those 'IT DEEMS' to be criminal. Trust me, Tinder will see its day of vengeance for shadowbanning (which is romance scamming) and stealing money also. Don't take romance scamming seriously? Don't take my word for it... The FBI lists it as one of the top 10 worldwide scamming operations.
While romance scams steal your money daily, PHISHING SCAMS OPERATE OVER 5-10 YEARS. This means that all of the information they are stealing builds up into massive databases, then comes the conduction of one huge databreach to steal large amounts of money at once. That is why you should NOT give your personal information to this website and many other dating sites. Phishing scams will likely hit you 5, 10, even 20 years down the line! BEWARE!
AFF is likely under the same helm that runs escort sites and similar sex service websites. There could easily be 1,000 websites under the same operation! Pay attention to the voices and information squeezing done over the phone! The AFF site however, is very stealthy in the way they comb information. They will not threaten you like others, but they will just continue to manipulate you. This type of scam is a consumer fraud scam, but also combines romance scamming and phishing! Notice, when you set up an AFF account, you WILL START GETTING WEIRD PHISHING EMAILS IN YOUR SPAM FOLDER EXPOSING YOUR PUBLIC ONLINE INFORMATION.
(note: NEVER GIVE OUT A PASSWORD OVER THE PHONE - your bank won't ask and neither does any financial billing department with an online portal - coming from a finance pro, that is typically illegal since quality assurance poses a security threat when passwords are recorded).
Just hoping to help some fellas who are probably searching for real love to steer clear of manipulation. I would much rather go to a strip club and pay a gorgeous stripper $200 for a great time than search the dark scowers of the internet for a $600 bait-and-switch prostitute, or become the victim of romance scams like AFF
Hi, everyone, I didn't come back for a while, hope everyone still have fun, I am back and I would like to meet someone really nice and sweet, have a good day .
In order to avoid the risk of unauthorized renewal, buy a gift card (WalMart, Target, etc.) and pay with that. You will still be at risk of being denied access, but at least they won't have your credit card number.
I have physical proof of the fake stuff along with information that would definitely cause an investigation. Probably by several agencies. I played dumb and got proof 100%. Now im on my second profile doing the same. Looking for some help if anyone intrested. Two can play the game and shove it in there face. Contact me at bigishere4now@yahoo.com will be working on this for two more weeks and lets give it back to them. SERIOUSLY
Five years later, and they did exactly the same to me.
They require you to sign up for "gold" and pay for it. Then delete the profile after taking the money with no explaination and without responding to conatct and questions.
Simple theft.

Adultfriendfinder.com stealing money from credit card.
PLEASE CAN ANY ONE HELP ME
MY NAME IS: SAM
MY EMAIL IS: 3110.au@gmail.com
They are the most manipulative and cheaters on the net.
AdultFriendFinder is still charging my credit card for several months after I'd cancelled my account with them? Just before my three months membership ends on 1/3/2015, i closed my account and went to the place where you can stop the automatic renewal, and turn the auto-renew status to OFF. After that date till now i didn't login or used AdultFriendFinder website once, because i went overseas for work.
For several months they continued to charge my credit card, total of $384.89 Australian dollar, its around $300 USD as showing below:

I sent them too many emails to refund my money back, at the end they agree to give back only $73.500 USD.
And they send me this email:
Dear Member,
Thank you for contacting us.
Unauthorized renewal can only be refunded within 170 days from the date the order was approved. Unfortunately, we are unable to process a refund for the order you are requesting. We apologize for any misunderstanding.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us again.
Thank you,

I've got to say that my experiences have been very different. Yes, there are fake profiles and, yes, there are billing issues from time to time, but I've had a great deal of success as well.
Also, I've never had a billing issue that went unresolved. Not sure why others are having that experience. Perhaps you're not complaining to the right email address or are not including pertinent information?
I'll also add that the site is dramatically improved in the last year or so, since sites' original owner/founder bought back the business.
I paid for a Gold Membership last night @ $19.95 for a month. I used the site last night and this morning. Now when I try to log in it says my username and email address don't exist. I went to my email to find that I received an email a little while ago telling me that my email address had been changed to an address that I have never heard of or owned. It also says that my gender was changed in my profile from male to female, which I also did not do. I logged in to my credit card account to find that I not only was charged the $19.95 but also two charges of $9.90 for god knows what. This is ridiculous and should be a crime. What can I do to stop this. I can't even log in to my account to cancel my membership. Please help.
This site is only, for paying!unnessary emails to my email I'd, ###!i didn't subscribe itself, it sux!if I check my email, more than50email, s, will be from this site itself!i wanna complain about, this site!pls...don't send email I'd to...rak[censored]htherevolt@yahoo.com!this site sux?iwanna deactivate, any suggestion!
I paid my money and when I go on the site it say will not open page because to many redirects
online scams
I was one of their affiliate on a pay per click program. And when it was time to collect my first paycheck, they decide to change my account program to not pay me. And by the way, no answers to my e-mails.

Rip off
I would like to know when an standard member complains about the service from Adultfriendfinder there never is any contact from AFF. They are constantly changing their system, They call it upgrading. I call it constantly being plagued with problems that grows from bad to worse. They have a member review system setup for complaining to them about : Such as no picture, wrong gender, general advertising, advertising web sites and many other items. But what I don't understand is with my business experience, with customer service experience, and computer knowledge, AFF doesn't seem to be running very efficiently, not running smoothly and in general seems to be running very poorly. Then I wonder why They can not sign their standard members up for a premium plan to make more money and why they can not have their operations run any smoother then it is now?
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Quit being freaky and go to a regular singles website...
Illegal billing practices!
I have been a paying member of this site for over 8 years. When I went to renew my account on 03/09/08, I was informed that I had already done so, and was unable to verify how or when I had done so. The next day-03/10/08- I was demoted to a standard member, and the cost of renewing had grown by at least 20%. I would greatly appreciate any information on how I can help this company correct their mistake!
Discrepancy in renewal costs
To Whom It May Concern,
I have been trying to find the managing body for this website called AdultFriendFinders.com, but on their website they do not seem to have such information provided, of which I would like to bring to your attention, and request you help, towards guiding me to the correct people to launch a formal complaint about this website. I have been a Gold member for quite some time, but I have now noticed that the renewal charges are never the same, and I find this to be illegal, and unfair. So I have attached a word document with screen shot's showing exactly what I mean about the discrepancy every time I renew with this website. So I please ask of you to help me to have these people investigated, as I am not the only member they are charging these different rates at every renewal.

I just had the same experience yesterday... I don t even use the site and I had to pay 1 year later 158 euro... They dont even send any warning e mail ohh noo... What they do is taking the money from your bank account what I call is stealing...
HI!
My name is Jimmy and Im from Sweden. To make things short. Adult Friendfinder is ripping me of! I am no longer a customer at their site but they still keep on withdrawing money from my account. I know there are more people out there who is beeing scamed by this company in this way. Not to mention all the fake girls whos on there. My sugestion is that we get as many people we can and report this to the police in their area.
They still have my ´Visa information and now Im worried that they will continue to scam me every month.. :(
Guess I have to cancel my card and get a new one, but it sucks! And they still in any case have taken 75$ illegaly from my account.
If you have any ideas how to stop them and make them pay please e-mail me and maybe we can make common cause.

Jimmy
Scammers like them do not want you to know how to go after them. Maybe start a complaint the the Better Business Bureau or other such consumer protection service. I would definitely take all steps necessary to get your money back and ensure that they don't rip you off again!

AFF is a bunch of losers
I have just had nearly the same experience with this site. I've been a paying member for over 8 years, and when I went to renew my account on 03/09/08, I was informed that I had already done so. The next day I was demoted to a standard member, with substantially increased membership fees. The company has ignored all of my emails to customer service.
Are you a great deal or plain unreal?
A gorgeous young girl who picks out my profile on the site Tagged without me having any picture nor any information about me than my name and age on it? Isn't that strange I thought? It is the wet dream of every young man to be contacted and invited by such I thought. That's why I immediately thought it could be a fraud.
On Tuesday the 14th August I've received an e-mail from a girl named Amanda Scott. She mailed me from the United States I live in Belgium and told me she will be visiting my area the coming weekend and she would like me to lead her in my city. At first I was very excited, but then my intuition screamed that such thing is incredible and could be a fraud. In the mail this Amanda Scott urged me to come visit her on the site of Friendorma where she can be found. To my surprise I saw that I have to become member, and thereby to pay, if I wanted to chat with her. Then of course I knew it was a scam. To report this fraud is not going to stop them cheating people, but I know it can help. Certainly if other people who experienced the same report that also. Then it can become a mighty weapon if ever someone decides to sue them.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I am kind and gorgeous. I never lie to anyone. I like different cultures and different people from different countries.
I can’t remember my profile name you assigned me how can I get it I can’t get it to work work and I don’t know how I can resolve this problem my email is jeffwolf151@gmail.com my phone number is +[protected]

i am beyond disappointed
Sunday September 3, at 1:30 am, I paid for just a simple two days and didn't even get to one hour and I got my money robbed off my card I need a refund and never contact this thieving sight again
I've been trying to pay by my credit card and debit card and they have both been rejected after having meticulously checked my details as correct it took me to my HSBC account asking for confirmation by mobile bank app
HOW ON GOD'S EARTH CAN I DO THIS WITHOUT LOSING MY HOME PAGE with my payment details
IT WON'T FRIGGIN LET ME
I can't get into this website no matter what I do. It keeps kicking me back to beginning. Or it says no username or wrong password over and over again
I chose the monthly version on the aight and they charged me over $100 on my debit card when I chose the by monthly payment method.
When I went to sign up for this account I got the one month membership
For 27 dollars as Soon as I pay it says they charged me for 55 dollars for a “contact fee” such BS no mentioned of this fee at all until my card proceeds
My whole purse with everything in it including my charge cards and phone was stolen yesterday 9/4/22 & when my bank contacted me today 9/5/22 there was a charge made last night through you all. I need to be reimbursed and that account or whatever needs to be closed. However you all can do this please do. Thanks
