Predatory internet chat provider. The site uses less than honorable tactics to "push" users to purchase their product. While they offer "FREE" use they do not tell you the free use can DAMAGE your PC. They artfully claim they know nothing of this. They do this by selling advertising space on the "FREE" accounts to advertisers that send all types of virus and homepage hijackers, web pop-ups and anything else they can slide through the ads. When a customer does get caught in the nest of ad viruses and such and complains to Paltalk, they simply claim they have no control and to stop this you should simply purchase a paid account to stop the ads. Another issue is that in 2 instances the same advertisers have accessed Paltalk's servers and financial information and billed my bank account for bogus charges and products. Paltalk of course swears they had nothing to do with this but it is their advertiser and always seemed to happen at the same time they billed for a product. When these occurrences happen Paltalk also mysteriously has to shut down for "server maintenance" or some other bogus reason. In short they have to figure out how to get the advertisers out of their servers... BEWARE while this service can work fine it will only be a matter of time before they are targeted by professional hackers and true damage besides, annoying viruses etc, are passed to the end user.

Their rooms are better than zoom because there is no time limit. Easy to use and does not appear to be any charge unless I do the upgrades

I will say like everything else, is how you handle your self. Great groups from all over the world, was able to meet a lot of people. The sound and video are unbeatable, best in the market. No place that you can open a group and gather 500 and up friends to chat, video and talk voice. I am not sure why all these negative reviews, when you can open your own group and handle it teh best way, and not join other groups, if you got issues with other users, this doesn't mean you can assume that everyone in there are bad. There will be always fake people, isn't everywhere? But at least on Paltalk you can view their cam and speak to them. I will give the thumbs up to all the people that working to make such an app.

My cam on my nic "da utha dude" has been restricted from publishing for no reason AGAIN! This is the 3rd time. Between this issue and the problems you've had the past weekend of people being kicked off, admin hats taken, etc., I feel u should owe me a month of extreme. There isn't a red admin in ANY help rooms, your security socks, and your platform has no security. We pay money for WHAT? You're quick to take our money and you do NOTHING for us as customers! FIX MY CAM IMMEDIATELY! And fix the issues mentioned!

Around 11:45 PM om August 3, 2023, I updated Paltalk to the latest version. It kept disconnecting me a few minutes after I had logged in. After it disconnected me, I thought maybe updating my computer would help it stay connected, but it didn't. It's still disconnecting me after a few minutes of being logged in and I can't get into any chatrooms because it disconnects me all the time. I am not paying for Paltalk's premium services only to have it disconnect me after I log in. This is complete and utter BS.

There is a chatter who goes by the name of coverme who stalks me on paltalk and stalks my family on instagram cause she admitted in the room that she found my instagram account and added all of my family members and friends and threatened to send them fake texts that my father raped and molested me which is untrue this person starts drama with people and initiates fights and disrupts rooms and in the past she has also stalked and harassed my friend's minor children on facebook and she even hired a private investigator just to get information on my friend and to continue the stalking.. She feels no guilt or shame for her actions and does not care about paltalk and paltalk's terms of service and if this is not handled she will cause nothing but destruction and keep slandering my father's good name who is nothing but a hard working man who is innocent in this situation and so if anyone from paltalk reads this please take action against this chatter and terminate or black list her ip address if you guys have to because this woman does not need to be on paltalk because she is a stalker and a predator and she is really taking this way too far and I do not appreciate my family being dragged into her fake drama and fake allegations I do not want this woman doing this to other people so please take action to prevent her from bringing her toxic energy to paltalk and ruining someone elses life anyways thank you very much for your time.

Internationals Meet New Friends room is a G room. Administrators allow R language, women are demeaned in public, English only is not followed, only two or three administrators follow rules. Owner has not been in the room for months, many say a year or more. There are threats to chatters from administrators, threats from chatters to other chatters. There is racism and sexism by a chatter called panda, and administrator called arun. Other administrators who do nothing to the offenders are GAMOL, crazeebook, arun, and others that moleme (former administ. in the room) can tell you. She quit Paltalk because there is no help for what used to be a GREAT room. It's dangerous to go in that room because of threats to destroy people's phones and computers. Also threats to find addresses and pay a visit. NOT GOOD!

Today, 7/21/2022 around 7:00 A.M. Philippine time, I was chilling at The Flirting Zone room and I posted a spider sticker to appreciate the music in the room. I posted it repeatedly every time with the new spinner. Then a female (gabbie_gabby) pm me to stop posting those stickers and I asked her if Its the new rule in PT since I just came back to chat longer in pal. As we go on, our conversation heated up and she said a lot of racism or unpleasant words to Asians. Calling us asian chimp, hooker, [censored], and a lot more. She booted me in paltalk and when I login again we continued and she warned me that she will permanently banned me in paltalk.

My question are:

1. Are red admins or admins allowed to say those foul words to us Asians?

2. Is racial discrimantion allowed in Paltalk?

3. Can I be banned by just posting those stickers which I used to do before and not knowing that stickers aren't allowed anymore to be posted repeatedly?

4. I am almost 10 years in paltalk and this is the 1st time I met such an admin who I believe a red admin since she got me booted in paltalk instantly. Should I be watchful now coz anything I do will be taken against her coz she mad at me?

Well If I will be banned permanently in paltalk this is the only reason I know. I've been a good friend to many in pal, I even have a room which run for a longer time before and I have never encountered such not until today.

You can meet an occasional scammer anywhere, but on solid sites like AdultsFinder.club

it happens very rarely and they ban dodgy users as soon as they get reported. PalTalk customer service is dreadful. They don't care about anything. Their only goal is to fool you into buying credits at least one time. Then they can put you on automatic renewal (recurring payments). Be very careful with them! Best of all, just avoid this miserable platform!

Yesterday afternoon at 2 pm

As told by 194LadyAnne

That Paltalk Subscription had blocked me because of a black nickname, what your Subscription Department do not know is that I am currently in debt with my bank due to policies by the current UK government, which has forced me to write this complaint about them, as they caused the Microphone I use to talk to people on Paltalk to lock permanently.

And Today From 4 pm till 10.20 pm

Britey and Shadows (Paltech)

Have refused to believe me that I have a locked Mic, which I feel as volunteers, they probably do not see the issue as I do, as I think your subscription department has blocked them from seeing anything they have done, and they say that it is my settings that are the problem. When in fact it is not, as I have 3 Programs that rely on the microphone your 1 the other 2, when I am not online at Paltalk work fine without any problems, meaning the issue is with Paltalk Subscriptions Department and your technical department, who need to unlock the microphone themselves, I will not be leaving your Help Lobby until this is resolved

hi i s requise my nic name or password when i ask to reset im not getting email ive been with pal for over 12 years EXTREME $81 per year ty [protected]@hotmail,com nic is awesomeaussie2 ty

Paltalk took money from my paypal without authorization. I had stopped the autorenewal after paying in 2020 for 1 year. They took again in November 2021 the amount from my paypal. I asked paypal to request my money back but Paltalk didn't pay me neither gave me the both subscription. I payed $ 60.00 and have nothing. What should we call these kind of actions? I want my money back.

I can't log into paltalk anymore.

I've been a member for years

What happened

January 17 2022
Approximately 10 days ago I stopped auto renewal of my Paltalk Extreme Subscription and completed the survey stating that I was no longer in a position to afford it.
Today I noted that the amount of AUD$83.36 has been deducted from debit card.
I would like this complaint investigated and to be advised as to why the "Stop Auto Renewal" was not complied with.
Swift acknowledgement of this complaint would be much appreciated.

My sister is a regular in Judaism Truth All others false debate or discuss, owned by Nitemares791, in the Human Rights section of Paltalk's Social Issues and Politics section. She has been urged, as part of some sort of sick humor, to commit suicide by the owner and his admins on multiple occasions. And she is diagnosed manic depressed. HELP.

Paltalk is not monitoring their HUMAN Rights section and it is ironic that is where the most abuse occurs in Paltalk. 3 types of abuse in that section. Death threats, Extreme admin abuse of power by cyberbullying and harassment by admin staff. At the moment someone has created at room called "Java718 is a black pedophile" in that section. There are continual Terms of Service violations in the Human Rights section of this chat client. Why isn't Paltalk doing anything about this. Paltalk red admin need to grow a backbone and do something. It is disgusting that Paltalk makes million and does not monitor it's own platform for extreme violations of it's own TOS. People are not only breaking TOS in this section they are realizing that there is no consequences to breaking TOS and they are allowed to get more vile with their attacks on person. Is paltalk going to wait for someone to commit suicide again before they clean their program of undesirable scum/

Hey when I login my paltalk and when I go to more settings then I can't see my nick colour option and icons: option in setting.. I want to click the icon option and want to set my flair crown gift on my i'd but I can't see any icon: options in my more settings. Can you help for me that please I would be very thankful to you.
Kindly regards
Rabaani

There is a room in Human Rights catagory, called "Judaism Truth all other False Debate Pete"

The room is filled with hate towards Muslims, Islam, Arabs, Palestine.

This needs to be investigated, and the room shut down.
The room owner, the mods, and the people involved in this hate speech, should be banned.

please help me to log in...my mail is [protected]@hotmail.com...
