Ashley Madison
reviews and complaints

This is a fraud from the very beginning to the end. Being a man who wants to find love is very tough. Why? Well, they want too much money each time you'd like to speak to a woman. You can't even see all of their photos. Want to see more? Pay the money and watch. Why would I ay for this? Why is it not for free? Your website is not that good enough and not so popular to make me pay for simple things that have to be free. Sorry, guys, but you will waste your time and money only and won't find your love.

I thought I was using a free zone on your site last night - I woke up to a 199.99 GBP debit message from my account via Apple pay @3.54am.

I have contacted Apple & my Mastercard provider. (I also mailed you - ccashleymadison.com @8:05am from my pers email acct - [protected]@sky.com)

I am hoping you will be able to deal with this amicably and issue a full refund, please.

I was contacted again by a scam email, she wanted money, I refused and she reported me to you saying I done something, it's unbelievable if you attempt to find me, you have charged me around £400 and I only joined last week. Its disgusting, your whole site is a complete scam with all fake profiles. This seems to be the way, a woman can demand money and obviously I am going to refuse as it's illegal, you are promoting prostitution and I want a full refund and this profile shut down. I have been a member maybe 2 days and it's a complete scam, I don't even expect a reply because it's obviously a complete rip off.

Hi.

I am the second month with a shot Madison and someone stole my password. Changed my profile and used my credit card. Please cancel my account and I want my money back.

Some one loved in my account changed my profile information and used my card.
Can you please refund my card if there were more than 2 purchased of 200 points which I did. Did not buy more but think that they used my card. Since I did not have more points and suddenly I have 5 points.

I changed my password to a strong one and hope it will not happen again.

Regards,

Ofir

Hi, i tried to upgrade my membership with a prepaid credit card yesterday, June 25th, but the fee exceeded the value of the $150 card by a few dollars. Is there any way to split the transaction, and use a second card to complete the purchase? My profile number is [protected] and my email is [protected]@outlook.com, please reply at your earliest convenience, thank you.

When I joined AshleyMadison website I immediately received several messages from local women. I could not read those, so I subscribed and became a member. When I checked their profiles, I discovered that these women were from all over the state! When you join the site it automatically sends you fake emails. It is a scam. They want you to subscribe. Also, majority of people on AshleyMadison are fake. Not one of the women that was interested in me ever reply to my messages! I contacted their customer service and asked for a refund. At first they tried to stop me, but I was quite pushy, so in the end they gave my money back and I deleted my account.

Do not use this site, AshleyMadison is a real scam. I tried to find a nice girl there, but only later I realized that 99% of the female profiles are fake. They are also going to send you tons of messages in order to get some money from you. You need to pay money for almost everything. Even reading and sending emails costs something. These fake women send you messages every day, they say how much they love you, but that is only a trap. Their main goal is to deplete your account. I was really hoping that there are real people on this website, because almost every online dating service is a scam. But, unfortunately, AshleyMadison turned out to be a scam as well.

I am sick and tired of getting emails multiple times a day every single day from this site. It's always different though. Says 18 and abused raw but its wanting you to sign up for a affair. These kind of emails I'm sure causes problems in already established relationships. I have reported this company before and they even contracted me back and said it'll stop after 10 business days, its been over 10 days now. I'm tired of getting sexual emails from this panama location. This company or whatever they are have no way for you to opt out because it says you have already unsubscribed. I will contact a lawyer if this doesn't stop. I've never signed up for online dating, I don't want to have a affair. It's disgusting and honestly at this point it's beyond harassment. Please make them stop or shut them down. What if this was a child's phone? People don't think about that. It's ok for children to get sexually explicit contex in everyday emails now?! I have a major problem with this and it makes people want to cut them selves out of the whole Internet world, unfortunately this world can't work without technology even though the world went round years back without all this technology. It's sick and I want it to stop. I don't take the time to contact people and report abuse to keep getting these emails.

Felt I was mis lead to believe that once I registered and paid my entry fee I would have total access to the website, however after paying initial fees I find out to continue I have to then buy additional credits to gain access to anything else. Called phone number provided and stayed on hold over 2 hours, left messages that were never returned, attempted numerous calls to company with no results.

Here's my experience using AshleyMadison.com: I can't say if it's a scam or not, with the employee-posted profiles you find on sites like xxxmatch.com, but here's what I've found after using the site for a couple months:

--They have HUGE turnover on the site, at least for women. I've noted many New members I've added to my Favorites who then don't return to the site ever.
--I've gotten only a 50% rate of Priority mails being confirmed Opened. That means half the mail I sent was never even opened, according to the site itself. No replies to any of the ones opened, but maybe my pitch was off!
--I've communicated with a few women on the site after getting a nudge from them (added to their Favorites), but no successful hook-up yet. Profiles with pictures get the best response.
--The women I've talked to (and a couple honest profiles I saw) indicate that women on the site get a LOT of email from men. I've heard rumors of successful hook-ups, and some of the reviews seem to indicate as much as well, but it hasn't happened for me yet!
--I honestly listed my age at 47 and numbers indicate a more common cut-off for women searching for an affair is 45. (I don't mind, I look 40.)

Overall I'd say if you're gonna try the site go for their Money-Back deal. It's the most expensive membership, but if you follow the rules of the deal (you have to send like 18 emails in two weeks or something like that), the numbers should work against the company. A lot of the emails you send will never even be opened. Just keep track of it.

I cannot vouch for the company giving the refunds they claim to, this is just my experience with the site. Had a couple fish on the line but nothing landed yet! Questionable ROI.

Well, like quite a few guys- I was sucked into it. After joining out of curiosity, I kept receiving "winks", or collect messages from other "members". Well, after writing a few- and no responses, I googled a few of the names of the supposed women messaging me. Well, a site called sktsktmarketing popped up. It was supposed to be private and password protected, however using Googles cached option, I was able to find not only one supposed user from ashley madison, however I was able to find at least 10.. They were under "cougar names", meaning they they are assorted by type.. I'm sure this service provides to any pay-dating website.

Now here is the deal, this company (sktsktmarketing) basically astroturfs, or pays people (male or female), to create interest on a website by commenting, writing testimonials, or in ashley madison's case- write/wink to users to pique their interests.. This is highly illegal, and has been deemed as such by the FTC..

I'm afraid Ashley Madison has been getting away with murder this whole time, due to the fact they know they have these cheating husbands between a rock and a hard place.. They are worried that if they ruffle feathers, they will be exposed as cheaters. Well, I'm single and don't mind lodging a formal complaint.. And I hope many other people follow suit either anonymously or not- by complaining to the FTC, and expose these fraudsters..

Now i have been on ashley madison a so called popular website for people who are married that want to have affairs. now i was accused of something . that was not true. mind you have no criminal record. live a clean life. etc. the so called Boss of this establishment. and customer service are very rude and nasty towards women. I complained to the president of the company whom allows his customer service people to behave in a manner as they choose. i have sent emails no one called me back. the suspended my account. for no reason. because i let the customer service maryjane oliver. know she cannot talk to me as she chose it was not professional. now i have got emails from men soliciting me. and angry because i refuse to give them the time of day. you have people putting up phony profiles then find out they are telemarketers yes. do they delete their accounts? NO!. I feel they are being discriminatory or people of color particulary african americans who date interacially. which is what i prefer which some people have a problem with. that's their crybaby, not mine. I have a right. i have been insulted by some of the clients because i choose to date interacially . I have spoken to Mr. Biderman the president of this company. he did reinstate my account once now all of a sudden its suspended again. for no reason no one showed me ocular proof or discussed why. i never voilated any terms never. I told the company if someone reported me falsely. thats hearsay. i have not said anything in any email that offended or voilated anyone if anything i have been. i been sent nude shots which i did not ask for. how they get pass customer service whom claim thats a vioilation. if you do not ask for a key which i have not. they can talk to women any way they want. yes you have options to block. but they have so many alias it's a shame. but somehow since i filed a complaint i have been her target personally and no one is stepping up to the plate why? whos the hyprocrit.. teaching married men to have affairs on there wives ? huh. and second have the nerve to delete someone profile. if anythng it's a violation for them to okay infidelity. now who is the vampire here? I ask? bloood sucking dating sites that should be put out of business. anyway.no one is putting a gun to someones head. but wy encourage. where are your so called morals ashley madison. false accusations? give me a break.

Dear Assistant:
I have no idea of the company name. All that appeared on my Visa statment
is a charge for $46.93 and the name associated with the charge was;
PAY-CARDHELP.NET [protected].
I would like to cancel my subscription and charges.

Thank you,

Joe (another email address is: joseph.[protected]@ottawa.ca)
