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

It isn't just a coincidence that until I bought my membership I was getting 2-3 emails a day, supposedly from women who wanted to chat or get to know me. Now that I have paid, I have not received even the 1st email, even though I replied to some of the ones I had received. I have been taken and I don't like it. They should have to refund my money!

This is the most severe case of FRAUD I have ever seen. these people need to be sued and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law. People are recruited as employee's for the purpose of baiting paying members...They never do hook-up. This would stop the flow of money. The website should be shut-down and all monies returned to the victims.

Amateur Match is a con. They offer free messages but don't deliver. They advertise girls in Egypt, most of whom are not Egyptian.Place names are spelt wrong. Real Egyptian girls complain about getting no messages. Click on send message and offers for Platinum Membership come up. They do not accept most foreign credit cards. For more info see my blog at frommythumb. blog.co.uk.
I will expose these scammers as much as I can. They should not be advertising in foreign countries.

Scam all the way. Women are online cupids that don't care about who they write to. They get paid to write members as if they were interested in them. Then they never reply back. It is a shameful practice that should be disclosed in big bold letters but instead is tucked away in the contract (terms of service) to be easily overlooked. It is too bad companies are not required to put the facts where they are easy to find. Like warning labels on cigarette's, they should be required to disclose this information where they advertise.

Very much a scam. Not one single e-mail has been answered by women that initially approached me. No one should agree to these terms because there is no benefit to the consumer. They put it in there contract that most of the women are online cupid's and are there to make things interesting. I do not consider lying interesting, I think is cruel and unfair.

You can cancel all you want, but you won't get a refund unless you get your bank or CC company to refund the charge somehow. If you paid with a money order, you gave them a gift in that amount...bon voyage su dinero!

I agree I too was duped but made sure to have them cancel the recurring billing so that I don't pay more for this [censor] in a few months! When you join its on an auto-renewel basis...and it was a pain in the [censor] to have them cancel it...you have to contact the website! WTF? On a reputable dating site...there are options to turn off auto renewal without having to write customer service and then wait on a response. The pictures of the so called photo galleries are not even good quality, the vast majority are either badly out of focus and you just see a lot of blurry pixels in most cases. When you join you are also supposed to get free access to another website which has 16 squares that I guess are supposed to have videos? At least that's how they seem to be set up...but when you click on the play button...nothing...what a joke. If you do get a reply from anyone on the site, most likely it will be a scam from someone wanting you to send them money or some web cam girl looking for customers. I am extremely dissapointed with this website, and will NEVER use an unknown dating website ever again! AFF or Match (and a few others) or whatever, there are only a few big ones that stay around and that's because all of these [censor] sites Amateurmatch! If you do decide to use an online dating site, stick with a big, established, reputable and proven website! Online dating is defenitely not the time to deal with a small [censor] hole in the wall company! AND I would have gotten better features, value and more for a lower price if I had chosen one of the more established and/or successful dating websites!

Amateur Match is nothing but junk. I signed up and I get notices from people 30 years younger and the names of the cities are spelled way off, the descriptions are not even close to the pic. Some look 18 to 20 and the profile says 50. The city names are so screwed up it is a total fake. I have received emails and when I reply nothing has ever happened no matter who or how many times I replied. Avoid this site like the plague.

I agree totally with everyone here that's complaining. Once you have joined, you start getting these emails from girls who act like they want to get together but then then they ask you to go to another website and guess what ? It's another " PAY " website. I actually think it's the people running this website doing the emails and that they're really aren't any real so called girls that want to get together. I joined this website in hopes of meeting someone special and to go out with and maybe even find that special someone but that has yet to happen. I just get directed to another PAY WEBSITE that you have to join and I'm not doing that SCAM.

Amateur Match is...no ifs ands or buts, a 100% rip-off site. Don't even think about becoming a paid member. All the mail you get when you sign up as a free member is 100% phony. If you are stupid enough to become a paid member, you will not receive another piece of mail - unless it's phony, of course.

1. From time to time, We may revise this Agreement. We reserve the right to do so, and You agree that We have this unilateral right.

You agree to periodically re-visit this web page, and to use the "refresh" button on Your browser when doing so. You agree to note the date of the last revision to this Agreement. If the "last modified" date remains unchanged from the last time You reviewed this Agreement, then You may presume that nothing in the Agreement has been changed since the last time You read it. If the "last modified" date has changed, then You can be certain that something in the Agreement has been changed, and that you need to re-review it in order to determine how Your rights and responsibilities may have been affected by the revisions.

3. Waiver - if You fail to periodically review this Agreement to determine if any of the terms have changed, You assume all responsibility for your failure to do so and You agree that such failure amounts to Your affirmative waiver of Your right to review the amended terms. We are not responsible for Your neglect of Your legal rights.

You further understand, acknowledge, and agree that, from time-to-time, OC's may contact both free users and paid users via computer-generated Instant Messages or emails for purposes of encouraging further or broader participation in our site's services and/or to monitor user activity. These messages may be transmitted to multiple recipients at the same or similar time(s). Messages from OC's will contain the uniform designation "OC" to notify the user that a message has been received from an Online Cupid. In the event the user responds to an OC message, either via email or Instant Message, the user may receive one or more additional personal or form responses from the OC. You understand, acknowledge, and agree that no physical meeting will ever take place between you and our OC's, and that the exchange of messages between you and an OC is for entertainment purposes, as well as to encourage further or broader participation in our site's services and/or to monitor user activities. Notwithstanding the above, the user is not guaranteed a response to any message sent to an OC (or another user).

We reserve the right to utilize OC's in connection with other features of our site, either now existing, or to be developed in the future (E.g.: Hotlists, Friend Invites, etc.). You understand, acknowledge, and agree that any involvement or communication with OC's shall be subject to the conditions, limitations, and acknowledgements contained in this Section and elsewhere in this Agreement.

Nothing contained in this Section shall create any right to, or expectation of, interaction between users and OC's. Any question regarding OC participation on our site should be directed to our Customer Service Department.
