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

This site and many others are using your name in highlighted text and saying they are associated with you and to verify my info so I can meet the girl I contacted on CL. If they were real girls why dnt they respond to my emails when I tell them that the site they gave me doesnt work or asks me to pay. This one and many others are posing as if they are affiliated with you, I suggest if you care about public trust you get after these people and assist in shutting them down.

Thank you,

Aggravated dater trying to find someone to date, spend time with.

OK PEOPLE. THIS WILL END THE DEBATE QUITE RATHER QUICKLY. ANYBODY WHO IS DISAGREEING IS PROBABLY A PROPAGANDA PUSHER TRYIN TO KEEP TRAFFIC GOING TO THE SITES. READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS!
YOU ARE REALLY SIGNING UP TO WWW.HORNYWIVESONLINE.COM. IN THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS IT STATES THAT
YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY OR WILL BE BILLED FOR THE REGISTRATION FEE. THEIR SALE'S PEOPLE ARE CREATIVE SOME BEING BOTS AND OTHER BEING LIVE PEOPLE ON THE OTHER END. LEARN TO READ THE CONDITIONS AND REALIZE THAT IF THEY ARE SHOWING YOU PORNOGRAPHIC PHOTOS OR NUDE PHOTOS ON THE REGISTRATION PAGE ITS PROBABLY A PORN SITE. AND IF YOU TRY AND CLICK ON THE LINKS AND NOTHING HAPPENS- BIG RED FLAG- DONT INPUT ANY INFO.

It's a fake. It's a SCAM folks. I work in the Web and technology. Any site that takes a credit card over a unsecured page is a SCAM. They can not get approved for one.

Don't do it. It is a scam. I work in technology and the Web and I can tell you that any site that claims to be a "Safety" site and doesn't have a security certificate for a credit card page is a SCAM site. DO NOT USE THIS SITE!

This site is a total scam. I fell for it and register and it was free all right, a free 3 day trial to a pornographic website I had no interest in! NOW, my damn credit card information is out there. I will now have to cancle my card and get a new one making me wait a week or two with no money because some low life wants to mess with people. The site would be a good site, IF IT WERE REAL! I totally agree that the comments in favor of the website are either the scam artist behind it or are naive people that only went to the site and didn't try to click on anything. If you would have tried to click on anything on that site you would have found out that nothing works except after you enter your personal information only to be sent to a pornographic site you just became a memeber of.

I've place a complaint on here as well with screen shots I took because I didn't delete anything. I too wanted to hang out and have a good time with someone and got screwed in the process and I am extremely angry. Tell me who the real victim is. Maybe I need a safe website against scammers.

If a woman is afraid on a potential date on CL then I strongly suggest that she allows a man to prove himself with the state or federal government. His
is what I respond to a woman who asked me to verify who Iam. I want every man to take heed in my respond below to protect himself form spammers and scammers.

1. The FBI or local police can tell you if I have a criminal record, which ery
important to you for any future dating
2. The state government can verify my natural origin of birth, date of birth,
etc
3. The FBI can even tell you about my credit report, etc
4. The FBI, state government or local police do not charge any money to verify
who I am
5. The only time I give out my credit card information is strictly business
6. I live in Loganvile Georgia. I live off Highway 78, near the
Wal-Mart and Home Depot
7. If you insist that I verify myself on a website is not the right thing to do
8. I want a woman who will walk beside me, not 'behind me' nor 'in front of
me'. You are letting me know you want things your way instead of coming to an
agreement for a common cause.
9. If you insist on online verification instead of the state or federal
government database to prove who I am, then you are proving you are a scammer,
despite how much you are telling me about your safety. You are hiding behind a
computer.

i agree with the idea of this thing not being need... i have nothing to hid nor would i care to hide anything anyway...but i did have a few sites that did charge me after signing up for the free membership, even after weaving through all the fine print... if a girl wants to chill lets chill, even better we go out in public so everyone to talk and when were comfortable nsa here we come..i'm all for a site that is free but lets face it, a free site is just as hard to find as a great night without any problems.

She is hot and I would give half of my testicle to meet her, but it smells fishy and so glad I found this site to confirm.
It is possible she doesn't know but as one of the user says, why would a woman want to pose herself on a site with a bunch of naked chics. Too also, none of the "links" on that page works.
All I can say is "karma is a ###"... I'm not sure why people think scaming innocent, horny men is cool :)

ok people. NEVER GIVE YOUR CREDIT INFO TO ANY HALF-SHADY SITE.
It takes little work to steal your money and transfer it out of the country.

Just because you got impatient with some "girl" you met through cragislist doesn't mean she's worth getting your identity stolen. If she's a paranoid girl who demends your info then she is probably flawed and you should avoid those anyway. come on guys...

If I respond to any post on craigslist then I ask "what's your favorite color?" If i don't get a specific response then I stop waiting my time.

THERE ARE SCAM ARTISTS EVERYWHERE. ON THE INTERNET THERE IS LITTLE TO NO ACCOUNTABILITY SO DON'T GET CAUGHT.

They even have IM bots so you think sh'e s actually talking to you. please stop funding lazy f*cks who spam people and waist everyone time.

thank you. my rant is over.

I agree, and anyone who disagrees hasn't gone to this piece of ###, scamming site. They SAY it's free, and then charge you for some stupid package you have only 24 hours to cancel. So anyone saying they disagree either works for these lying carpetbaggers or they haven't used the site. Anyone who profits off the dreams and hopes of others is a parasite that should be stamped out of existence. This country is getting less and less tolerant of such blatant fraud, and may the good Lord protect them when their scam comes to brighter light.

THIS IS A SCAM SITE. Anyone saying anything different is probably one of the "girl" scammers. This is how they make money by getting YOU to sign up to as many web sites as possible. They'll tell you it is for age verification. They'll tell you that if you sign up, you will get to talk to them or some other nonsense. But, once you sign up, you are actually signed up to different adult entertainment web sites where you will NEVER find that "girl" again. If you don't cancel these web site memberships, you get billed. I work at one of the customer service centers dealing with these god damn calls all day long regarding stupid men looking for love and thinking they're going to get it by giving a stranger their credit card information. These men are dumb and I am stuck having to take responsibility over their stupidity on a daily basis.

Read the fine print. Free isn't free. There are always strings attached. You don't pay now, but in 3 days you end up paying $39.95. Then on top of that, they refer your e-mail and credit card to two other sites that charge you $39.95. EACH. Watch out guys. The girls may look hot when they send that e-mail, but it's not worth loosing $100.00 a month to maybe or maybe not hook up with them. Better to save that dough for a real woman who won't do an Age sex offender check on ya. *which is a lie*

I don't hope to insult anyones intelligance here but, is it really a scam if the sites intentions are listed right in their terms and conditions. Where they are "scamming" people is coming on two fronts. First, as stated earlier, the site is only free for the first three days and then it becomes a paysite unless cancelled. Ok well if you are only using this service to get a prospective dates number then cancel the service directly after being confirmed and writing down the number of course ;). The second part and albeit the more annoying of the two, is that the site automatically signs you up for three other sites that are not clearly defined and are billed out at approximatly 40$ a piece. I have not yet used this service because I do not want to deal with the hassle of trying to figure out what these are and how to cancel them. Bottom line I would procede with caution, as you always should when providing your financial information on the Internet and for god sakes read the terms and conditions. Checking that little box that says I agree transfers all responsibility from the shady company directly onto... You guessed it. YOU

I was directed to one of these sites recently and it seems to be a total scam. If you try to click on browse, help, home, anything it does absolutely nothing. All this site can do ( if it can do anything at all) is verify that you are 18 years old and you have a credit card account. Here is another reason I think its a scam. Take for instance im a woman wanting to meet a man, im desperate this and that you contact me. Why would I want to send you to a site and on the bottom of my picure or around my picture are other naked girls, why in the hell would I put myself in a position where you can see other girls besides me. Makes no freaking sense. Also check this im looking at the site and I cant figure out where does a woman go to be a member of this background verification nonsense.

I have worked in the banking industry for 13 years now in the security division. I have never in my life known of a banking institution to give any personal information regarding a customers identity, whether it is an age verification or any other bonafides. It takes a warrant signed by a judge to release any information regarding a cardholder. These sites are complete scams. If a lady wants to check a mans pedigree, first for registered sex offenses, this info is of public record and available online thanks to the megan act. If she wants to check on a man to see if he is a violent felon, this too is available online. Wake up guys, this is a total scam. None of these sites have any additional links. Also, the people running these sites are most likely criminals themselves.

I totally agree, i just recently went to that and the problem is not about "giving your background" its about getting your hopes up to meeting someone and scammers decide to use fake pics and fake names to get you to pay so called "free" fee. My question is why do I need to "pay" anything? Background checks aren't cheap or free and banks and credit/debit card distributors are not allowed to give others your information for this purpose. ThE basic idea of this whole sham is to snag people into paying a fee until they realize it is a scam.

The posts on this site are shills.

If you give your credit card # to ANYONE, they will use it! D U H

If you want to verify age or real-ness, try talking to them on the phone. Email back and forth, then meet at a restaurant.

This site works hand in hand with the scammers to get your card # . I D I O T S

Can someone please help me out here. I received a request from my ad on Craig's list and saw the person that has an interest in meeting me off of this website. She claims that she only likes to talk on the phone and does not check email or texting. This is exactly what I am looking for. I am so tired of being scammed off of other websites and hate the chatting. I would feel much better in actually talking to someone as a means of communication. According to her, the site is free. I checked in to the site and it states that the first 3 days are free and you can cancel at any time. It provided a customer service phone number. I called and actually was able to talk to someone in customer service. My question is how legit is this site? I see the mixed comments and am touch and go on whether or not I should proceed forward with joining. Can someone out there please give me some feedback.

I absolutely agree that this site is 100% a scam. My brothers wife found out that they were using her pictures and information in craigslist posts and on there site as one of the fake women to draw victims to their site. I'd also like to point out that anyone with half a brain can tell when people affiliatted with the company the complaint is against are posting on here as users of the service in question. Its sites and people like this that make the internet a more dangerous place.

Absolute scam... I confronted one of them with multiple facets of evidence and they gave up the charade. Absolute SCAM. They get $20 per sign up with the referral URL. Site hits have increased 10 times since January 2009.

Keep your money! You won't get anything out of this but a headache and a big mess.

It's sad when a cheap and dangerous man attempts to mess up a great thing. This site has been so good to me as I am a certified massage therapist who works alone. I have been using this site for over a year, free of charge, because it allows me the comfort of meeting a client without having to worry about safety.

Yes, you do need to provide personal info. for a background check, ONLY. The other background check sites charge and aren't as personal and that is the very reason I use this one! I LOVE the site, my clients love it, and in the end, my clients as well as myself are satisfied!

I disagree wholeheartedly with this complaint. That site is a very good way to weed out all the guys using fake information to try to meet up with girls and do who knows what to them. It's free to sign up to the site, so I'm not sure with this guy is talking about. If you have nothing to hide, then you shouldn't have a problem signing up toa FREE site that will verify that you are who you say are. Put yourself in my shoes...I'd like to meet a guy online, but with so many bad things happening to girls who meet people online, this is a nice way to help weed out the psychos!
