Ashley Madison Review: A Cleverly Thought Way to Rip Men Off
Ashley Madison (ashleymadison.com) is a website that has targeted the weakness of men, their polygamous nature. It is a site where men can find women who are willing to have secret relationships with them. However, before you consider signing up, there are several things you need to keep in mind.
Firstly, only men pay for using the site, which is unfair in a world where everything is supposed to be equal. This probably tells a lot about how Ashley Madison operates. Maybe the majority of women don't wish to have a secret relationship at all, and to attract whoever is left out, they have possibly made it free for women.
Secondly, how are they screening the women? To test this, I made a fake profile and was utterly shocked to see the number of men who sent proposals to meet me. Some men are really desperate for sex, and no wonder why the flesh market thrives so well. A few had even sent me naked pictures of themselves. If you are one of them, go and take it down. You don't know when Ashley Madison will get hacked, and how your picture could make your family heartbroken.
Thirdly, the women ratio is very, very low. I actually liked three women profiles and sent them my message. It cost me like 5c+5c for each message. By default, Ashley Madison enables something called priority message, which is nothing but a flag that gets shown on the other side. If you use a credit card, they also upfront load you with 19.99 for things you don't want. A cleverly thought way to rip men off. Coming back to the messages I sent, these women probably got tens of messages from people like me. It also means I have to reach out to many to get a proper response from at least one. You do get a response for say wink message (free message), however, all responses are standard ones a woman can choose. When she does, you get a collect message which you cannot read without being a paid Ashley Madison member. Again, a con job.
Lastly, many women I saw were either escorts, came on the site for checking how it would be, or completely fake ones like the other one I created. Now when you send those priority messages hoping to get laid, how do you know it's not one of the profiles a man has created just to have fun? Think about it, folks.
I need not have written a detailed review here. However, the fake profile I created taught me a lot about how it looks from the other side. I was hoping to get a response from a woman and expecting at least I could chat with her. After I saw the other side, I came and removed my man's profile. It's a fake service designed to loot men. Feel free to waste your money there or instead take your spouse to a nice dinner. Maybe we have to work on rekindling our relationship with a partner we trust instead of reinventing the wheel all over again and getting conned and hurt in the process.
Ashley Madison Review: A Scam Site with Fake Profiles and Expensive Credits
I recently tried out Ashley Madison, and let me tell you, it was quite the experience. I was initially intrigued by the site's promise of discreet affairs and the ability to connect with like-minded individuals. However, after spending some time on the site, I quickly realized that it was not all it was cracked up to be.
First of all, let's talk about the reviews. I was skeptical when I saw a few 5-star reviews that seemed a bit off. One guy was ranting about Christians, and another was wondering why cheaters don't like getting cheated. It didn't make sense to me. But then I realized that most of the positive reviews were from women, which makes sense since they don't have to pay anything and can choose from hundreds of men. It's like standing on a street corner with a sign and getting 5 stars for it. The few guys who gave it 5 stars acknowledged that it was a scam, so I don't understand why they gave it a high rating. It's all very strange.
Reading between the lines of the best reviews, it seems that the few real women on the site are bombarded with messages. You have to completely expose yourself to get noticed, and even then, you have to burn a lot of credits (money) for a minimal chance of success. And to make matters worse, many of the women you're communicating with are fake profiles created by Ashley Madison to get you to spend more money. It's a real mess.
I got burned by Ashley Madison, and it was expensive. I also had a bad experience with another site called adulthookup.com, which I would advise you to stay away from. After the hack, I was relieved that I only purchased the cheap package, so my losses were minimal.
The scam on Ashley Madison is that you have to purchase credits, and then they use all kinds of gimmicks to get you to spend them. For example, they have a "wink" feature that is free, but if you use it, you'll get a response saying that you have to write a message instead, which costs money. They also have pop-ups indicating that someone wants to chat with you, but if you respond, it costs money. It's all very sneaky.
As someone who works in QA, I noticed a lot of inconsistencies in the search results. The lists of women would change from day to day, which was suspicious.
My advice to anyone considering Ashley Madison is to keep looking. Don't let your ego get the best of you. There may be a legitimate site out there, but this is not it. And if you're tempted, remember that the hackers who breached Ashley Madison showed that there are only a couple hundred real women on the site. The "hot babe" you're talking to could very well be a fat, hairy, dumpy guy. It's not worth the risk.
Finding Fulfillment Outside of Marriage: My Experience with Ashley Madison
I've been married for a little over 11 years now, and while I love my husband and our two kids, I have to admit that the passion between us has faded over time. It's not that we don't love each other anymore, it's just that life gets in the way sometimes. When you have kids, it's hard to find time for each other, and when you do, you're often too tired to do anything other than sleep. I have a high sex drive, though, and I need more than that to feel fulfilled.
At first, I thought I had two choices. I could either leave my husband and try to find someone else who could satisfy me, or I could try to find a way to meet my needs outside of the home in a way that wouldn't hurt my family. I didn't want to leave my husband, though. I love him and our kids too much for that. So, I started looking for other options.
That's when I discovered Ashley Madison. It's a website that's designed specifically for people who are looking for affairs. I was hesitant at first, but I decided to give it a try. I created a profile and started chatting with guys. It was exciting to talk to someone who was interested in me and who wanted to make me feel good.
I've been using the website for a while now, and I have to say that it's been a lifesaver. I use my work laptop to access the site, so my husband has no idea what I'm doing. I chat with guys, do webcam chats when I can, and I've even met a few men in person. I know it's not the most moral thing to do, but it's what I need to feel fulfilled.
I'm very selective about who I meet, though. Some guys are lazy and boring, and they just send copy-and-paste messages to everyone. Others are creative, funny, and interesting, and they take the time to get to know me. I find that if I stick with the second type of guy, I can trust them more.
I know that what I'm doing isn't right, but it's what I need to do to stay sane. I love my family, and I don't want to hurt them. I just need a little something extra in my life, and Ashley Madison provides that for me. If you're in a similar situation, I would definitely recommend giving it a try. Just be careful and make sure you're selective about who you meet. You don't want to get caught and hurt your family.
Ashley Madison/won't provide the information needed to change my password
On June 7, 2023 I tried, in vain, to change my password. I was told I would be sent a code to effect the change and when this 'code' arrived, I hit the password 'reset' button and was sent to a page of womens' profiles. THIS HAPPENED 7 TIMES. I tried calling (4 times) and was told that there was no one available. I want to cancel this 'service', for lack of a better word, due to the unresponsive nature of this so-called subscription.
USER NAME: slpwlkr
Desired outcome: Cancel and refund my money,
Account Suspension
I am a genuine, real lady who created a new account with Ashley Madison. I was on for a few months, then all of a sudden my account was suspended. I created a new account and after less than 2 months, my account was suspended. I've emailed [protected]@ashleymadison numerous times with absolutely no response. I created a new account again, uploaded a picture, started my bio, then all of a sudden the account was suspended. My first two accounts did quite well with messages and conversations so I know AM was making money on the men.
Desired outcome: I would like my account reinstated, or at the very least an explanation and how to resolve the issue.
Paid for Credits Account Suspended
A couple of days ago I signed up cause the wife and I decided it would be fun. This morning I finally caved and bought credits to actually message women. Then my account got suspended. I tried logging in through the website and my IP address has been blocked. Seriously glad I only paid 13 for the 50 promo credits...but seriously how the hell are you going to block/suspend my account without even giving me an opportunity to use your service?
Desired outcome: Give me my money back.
Member credits
This company charges outrageous prices for credits to which they give no instructions as to how they are spent. I was not aware they charge, by default, a premium message rate and you have to physically choose normal message. Needless to say I burned through credits unknowingly and come to find out all of the ones I contacted were bots. This site also throws fake accounts at you hoping to get you to use credits to receive messages. When requesting a refund they offered to prorate my 8 credits back and would not provide anything other than an automated email. Scam!
Desired outcome: Want a full refund as the site is misleading
Purchasing credits
Ashley Madison is the biggest scam I have came across and the worst part is despite of so many support messages and email, and getting NO RESPONSE.
Firstly, I bought $64.99 credits, and they charge one-off fee for mobile service which is $24.99 and charged me in total of $89.98 for 100 credits.
I have had received few messages and I collected it for 5 credits, and realised they were scam. After which, I tried to respond to see the ones which seemed reasonably legit profile, and without my attention they were sent as 'Priority Message' which used 13 credits.
Within 5 minutes, my credits were all gone and fake profiles kept messaging me. So then I tried calling them but there is no contact number provided. I then tried to email them several times but no response.
Instead, after all this Ashley Madison had audacity to temporarily suspend my account. WORST COMPANY EVER! Female users don't spend money while the male users do to view and send messages from fake profiles.
WHAT A JOKE!
Desired outcome: Hopeful to get my refund back and some response from Ashley Madison team.
Suspended account
Hello Ma’am,
My name is Fina, I have been using Ashley for a month now. I have never asked anyone for money or anything like that, I have followed the rules and you can check my account Finna j, but for a reason I don’t quite understand my account is kicked out, am not sure what to do, this is the second time it has happened.
Please help me look into this, the person am speaking to doesn’t want to help for reasons I can’t explain. I’ll appreciate your help.
Thank you
Finna.
Desired outcome: Account to be reactivated
Being blocked
I have been on this site less than 2 days and suddenly, I'm blocked or suspended. I have not done anything wrong! They say it will take 5 business days to fix. Nothing. I tried another account, well, they blocked that too. Just as I was getting acquainted. I've read other complaints by women that have had the same issue. I have done no solicitation, no going to other chat sites, I got one email from someone. So, come on, this issue should be able to be fixed in less than a couple hours and the don't take phone calls.
Desired outcome: To unblock my account and tell me why
Account suspended
I have just joined Ashley Madison. I am a chubbier girl and this is the only reason I can assume my account was suspended. I read all of their terms and conditions and I broke none of their rules. There is no genuine reason for my account to be suspended. This just seems like a prejudiced company that they have no interest in having girls who dont fit their standards on their site.
Dating service
I had signed up as a new member and received 200 points. I accessed their online service and what was advertised as a dating site was not at all what was actually on their website. The few members I had expereiced there after using 63 points were scam members (Africa) and cam entertainers who were not real and not there for the site's intension.
I had disputed through the charge through PayPal the amount of $59 until I could get the issue resolved or refunded through Ashley Madison.
The Ashley Madisin customer service informed me that they could not resolve the matter unless I closed the charge dispute. In the meantime my Ashley Madison account was locked and it could no longer be accessed. My remaining 137 points and service was unavailable.
I went and closed the dispute and then two days latter I received an email from Ashley Madison customer support that they won the dispute and they will not give a refund. On top of that my account is also unavailable, the remaing points I had could not be accessed.
So Ashley Madison has not only commited deception but also fraud and theft.
Desired outcome: I want a full refund, as even if they try to make their service right, I can't trust them because of the actions they had done to me.
Refund received. No further comments
I was scammed on this app for $850
A 29 year old woman from manhattan contacted me on this app. She wanted to
Have online sex with me before committing to a relationship. She apparently recorded the whole thing and threatened to send it to all my contacts on Facebook this would of devastated me so she initially wanted $1500
Which it was agreed that I only had to pay $500. After I wired $500 to the Philippines she came back and demanded another $350. I’m a widowed male just looking for a relationship. You can’t trust this website.
Account suspension
I’ve recently joined this site in hopes of finding a good friend. At first I was not very responsive, but lately I’ve been talking to some nice people on there. I do not know what I did, but when I shared my contact information with someone I got suspended! Is that a rule I missed? Was I not supposed to share that? I’m so frustrated because I’ve tried to make another account, and it was rejected too! 🥹
Desired outcome: I just want access to my account o
Suspended
I am a genuine female that was using the site. Was on it for a week and got suspended without warning or reason. I did not breach anything in their contract. I just turned down a lot of men that I didn't find attractive. I was engaged in conversation with a few and out of nowhere got suspended. I am very concerned that this site is a scam to make as much money as they can off of these desperate men looking for relationships. They let attractive females like me go on the site and lore men in so they use a bunch of credits and make themselves money, then when I turn down a bunch of people they suspend me. I think it's a discrimination case against women to be honest. They are using us like hookers and they can get away with it because obviously we are looking for discretion and relationships like these... Like who is ever going to get an attorney and come after them for blatant discrimination. It's really sad because I've used their site before without problems. I just want to know why they suspended me when I did nothing to break their contract. A lot of us don't have another site to go to. I just feel like it's a scam and desperate men are being extorted essentially. Going to have to find another platform.
Suspended acc6
I had an acct recently suspended I'm not sure why but I'm trying to fix it I accidentally had 2 accounts when j made the first I couldn't get in I made another and could I'm bad with remembering username and passwords. If possible please unsuspend...thank you I'm really not sure what I did other than that but today is 12/30/22 and I realized it around 11am..people have asked about kik I always say I do not use that or snap .
Desired outcome: Unsuspended
Account issues
I tried contaxting them right away. It takes 5 business days to grt anywhere with the customer support. I deactivated my account and it somehow appeared yesterday and the man I was seeing left me because of it cuz he thought I was looking again. I wasnt! I didnt reactivate my account! I dont know what happened but now I lost someone I cared about because of it. This is ridiculous and I am super upset that this happened.
Desired outcome: Apology
Red light warning on AshleyMadison! It's overpriced and misleading
Use it only if you really enjoy erratic Chats at an extremely high rate. Even though it took me awhile I found a better alternative:
AdultsFinder.club
Never had this much success with a dating site ever in my life! you won't meet so many chicks on all other platforms. The main thing is to use it correctly - just use search filters, there are many options there. The reply rate is very high. By the time I get home I usually have at least 5 replies. I had 2 dates last week and both of them were hot and spicy just what I was looking for. But apparently it's not something you can easily find an AshleyMadison. AshleyMadison was a totally useless money-draining experience.
Account suspension
My account was abruptly suspended without being given any information as to why. This has actually costed me a relationship that I spent weeks developing. I have always been a respectful user. From other reviews I have just read this seems to be a common problem for female users. It is a well known fact that the number of male users far out weighs the number of females. Therefore the site is happily taking the money from their male users and at the same time...randomly eliminating female users for no reason. Men are paying good money to use a site that is manipulating these clients and limiting their chances to find what they are looking for.
Desired outcome: To have the Suspension lifted
Rampant fake profiles
Gentleman,
As you all know this site is a money making scam.
I can't say, but there may be a few real people out there.
Before you spend one credit messaging someone:
1 - Look at and SAVE on clear profile picture.
2 - Crop it down to a nice portrate sized photo.
3 - Go to: https://www.reverseimagesearch.com/
4 - [Upload Image] - Green Button
5 - [Search Similar Images] - Blue Button
6 - In [Results] click [Check Images] under Yandex
It may not find any matching images, but when it does, it is blatenly obvious that they have snagged these photos from: Instagram, Facebook or other WebSite if they photos are on a professional WebSite.
It is rediculous that Ashley Madison does not validate images and check them against a REVERSE IMAGE SEARCH.
They don't want use men to learn and shy away from the site because the would lose revenue.
