This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I was offered a 3 day membership trial period if I submitted my credit card details and paid 3.99GBP.
After the 3 day period, I was not satisfied with the site, So didn't bother investigating it any further.
A few weeks later I checked my bank balance and noticed 3.99 plus 24.99 GBP had been debited from my account from the above company.
After notifying them asking for my money back, they refused saying I had used their site and had not notified them in advance to cancel my membership. They would however not withdraw any further funds and my membership would be terminated from immediate affect.
I had never requested ot authorized them to a month membership fee.
I tried getting the transaction cancelled with my bank-they said it would involve cancelling my debit card, which is an inconvenience at this point.
I therefore have no option but to take the matter up with small claims-again a waste of my time, so it looks like this company has succeeded in stealing 24.99 GBP of my money.
How many more people will they scam in this manner before they are removed from trading online?

I've been billed by Easydate Holdings Ltd-$12.87 and I don't know from which website! I live in Georgia, USA. Never heard of BeNaughty.com. I sent an e-mail on the Easydate website, to get my money back. I hope they answer!

Does anyone know where we can lodge a formal complaint against this company? I have not given them any CC information and have tried repeatedly to remove mysepf from their email list. I believe that it is unlawful for them to keep spamming like they do. Any assistance would be great.

I am a member of BeNaughty and though I am not sticking up for unfair practices I do have to say that calling them a scam site is a little over the edge I too signed up for the three day trial period and was immediately informed that they would automatically renew my subscription after the trial period ended... it was in black and white no mystery there... I proceeded to process cancellation and immediately the sent a email to with my cancellation # and again ... black and white... that number was only good for two days the remainder of my trial period at that time I could have logged on which would have brought up my home page including the box to insert my cancellation # it was very easy and very straight forward ... if it was indeed a scam these features would be difficult to ascertain almost impossible
Even though I am sympathetic to your distress and believe me i have been there with other sites all I can say is BUYER BEWARE if you are divulging credit information

your all right they r a complete scam ! not only do they bill you for a month, which by the way in the small print says you have to give 3 days notice to cancel, so you have to cancel your a/c before you take a 3 day trial ! mad yeh ! but half the girls r looking to scam you by trying to bring you to yahoo or fb just to know more about you, get photos nd try to get your identity ! b careful ! not being bad but if you meet nice girls who seem to want to get 2 know you to quick nd asking lots of personal questions without revealing anything much about themselves theyre trying to rip you off ? i've met about 6 or 7 girls all studying " nursing " who would'nt know they, re femur bone from they're foot ? yeh whole site ripe for being robbed nd the site administrators dont give a bo...! there is genuine girls there though, so be careful ! cheers !

I have had problems with them as well. Someone gained access to my Debit card info and it was used to make 16 different charges to their various dating sites. Benaughty.com, Loopylove.com, as well as easydate PLC. Efforts to contact them have for refunds have been unsuccessful. I am in the US, and have called Edinburgh over 20 times, only to have them say that they cannot issue refunds over the phone.Email support is a joke. Scammers, all.

this site is totally FAKE!
do the following test... wink to 20 women on the site (from 18 to 99) and you will receive 20 mails within 10 minutes and they are ALL interested in you... this is SOOO unlikely...
Could the webmaster of this site please check the IP-addresses of all those people who say that BeNaughty is a great site, he will probably find that they all originate of one person... (probably the owner of "EasyDate")

FOUND THIS ON ANOTHER PAGE FROM ANOTHER USER>
One Big Scam! - Hi, This is a message to any men out there wanting to seek 'No Strings Attached' fun over the internet.I strongly suggest you do not go anywhere near 'benaughty', or it's sister site (which is linked) 'sexintheuk'.They offer free subscription to females which leaves the site vulnrable to fake profiles, of which there are many. There are also a collosal amount of females trying to get you to sign up to webcam sites.After complaining to the admin team, they had no answers to my questions, nor would they refund me. In the 3 weeks I was registered, I spoke to just 2 real women (totally not what I was looking for either), and one of those we were moaning about the site, she had tried to block some creep that kept emailing her, after complaining to admin, they haven't done a thing about it.I'm young and good looking - so if it was real surely I would have got at least one offer in that time. I got emails from girls, but they never respond to my replies, nor does anyone respond on the text chat.I even got an email from some lunatic saying they were going to kill me!These sites are very poorly managed, no profiles are screened, some of the features (like video chat) do not work properly and all they want is to entice men in and take your money. As far as i'm concerned, it's a fraud! I wouldn't be surprised if they also own some of the webcam sites. The real company name for these sites is 'EasyDate'.I urge you to steer very clear of these sites!P.S. I have had to rate this site, unfortunately I can't give it a ZERO star rating.

if you read the terms of use that everyone has to accept on application to most of these sites it says it has automatic re application unless you specifically go and cancel subscription before due date, buyer beware wonder what the average is on people who read terms probably 5 % a little bit of investigation first is good thing hence why im here i been on few different sites all same wouldnt say scam but sly business practicing it obviously works lol do we jump in before seeing how deep the water is

what is this about needing a verification ID? I've had a number of girls say they want to meet up but ask me to submit my card info to some apparently secure website (apparently it won't be charged) so that I can get a verification ID which they send to some criminal investigation bureau to verify that I'm not a "psycho criminal." I haven't been willing to give up my info. Is this a scam?

I hate seeing people come to a site like this and not be able to have as much fun as they should, very much so if you pay for certain things on here that let you enjoy it more.

Just remember, the site is real and so are the people in it, but there's always people that take advantage of these things for personal/business gain and exploit and ruin it. We just have to get the better of them by out-witting them and not letting them ruin our experiences.

What can I say... I joined a couple of months ago as my 15 year marriage is coming to an end and I have to say I've already met somebody from near where I used to live before I got married.
I learned very quickly to ignore all the messages/emails from 20-25 year old girls from the USA as all they want to do is get you off the chat on the site and on to some pay per view webcam site. It`s not that hard..
I may of cause have missed my perfect match by doing this but its a risk I'm willing to take!
You will need some time to get used to BN and BN members. Use Blogs and Forums. You will find all answers there.

I paid via a 3V card so they cant take anymore money after I paid the 3 days cos there was only ten euro on the card. I cancelled my acccount on the same day i signed up and sent them an email saying there was a clear option for repeat billing which I did not at any stage select and attempting to take money would be unsuccesful I doubt they will bother trying to scrounge the money out of me knowing they wont be able to contact me eithir I still feel like a piece of [censor] for joining though thanks for the info guys

I have received emails from this site even though i have never been on it. I was given an login and password despite the fact i never heard of the site until receiving the email. What is going on? This has destroyed my relationship and they will not respond to my emails and two out of three of their numbers seems not to exist.

Same thing has happened, took out 3 month membership 1 month exrta free. Paid the money. 3 weeks in canceled the repeat billing option so it would end at the end of the 4th month. Day after it expired they take an unathorised payment of £36 from my credit card, which i'm unaware of until the statement arrives, by that time they say 14 days have passed and i'm not get a refund.
A bunch of thieving gits.

Anna_anna You can try to send an email to their admins. The email address is admin at benaughty dot com. Hope this helps.
As for the review - been on the site fo around a week. The scammers are fairly easy to spot to be honest if you are realisitic with what you are looking for then the extremely hot 21 year old who is begging for sex is probably scam. Have had a fair few responses to email and some conversations. So not a bad site in my opinion. Just wanted to say have enjoyed it so far..and hope to talk to more real people.

I joined the site last week. Did the three day trial because I've never been on a "dating site" before and thought I'd see what it was all about. I cancelled my account within three days to avoid further billing. However when I checked my account benaughy had taken £29.99 from me, theiving [censor]! I have sent numerous emails but it's obvious I'm getting nothing back. I feel like I have actually been robbed, just not by a guy in a balaclava.

There is nothing I can do. I have little money as it is, £4 was affordable, but £30 isn't. I never planed on joining for a month anyway. I just thought I'd see what could happen in 3 days, a bit optimistic but you never know!
I'm going to complain to their local trading standards office. And yeah when ever I read something good about benaughty I have the suspicion it's just someone that works for them. How could anyone be happy about having money drained from their account especially when you've got to spend hours sifting through fake profiles!

To all those who have been robbed, all the best.
