Zoosk Canceled my Account - Horrible Customer Service
I signed up for zoosk and used it for several months. Then one day I got a notice that my account was under review. Shortly after I was notified my account was closed. I sent several emails to [email protected] but received no response.
UNDISCLOSED REASON - Today I finally got around to calling their number. The representative confirmed that my account had been cancelled and that I had been reimbursed. I asked several times as to why and each time I was put on hold as they she searched for more info. In the end she said my account was "blocked" because of "fraudulent activity" - but could not state what that activity was, she claimed they were "not allowed to disclose" it, but from the sound of it, here computer screen didn't say and therefore she couldn't.
ACCOUNT STILL VISIBLE - But the worst part was that I asked them to erase my account. She said she could not do that, but not to worry because nobody could see my account since it was blocked. I then informed her that I am getting regular notifications each week from people who have viewed my account.
CANNOT ERASE ACCOUNT - She said the most she could do was to turn off the notifications. It was at that point I realized I needed to warn others of this. I now have a profile that other humans believe to be active online that I cannot get rid of. This is a problem and it is very frustrating.
I noticed today, that on my messages that zoosk sent a email to someone that looked like I replied saying " Thanks for the wink, leave me a message and I'll get back to you. I never sent that. What a scam!!
Before I took out my credit card I got three or four interested every single day with requests for chats. After I paid.. nothing. Well you can draw any conclusion you wish but this company should go out of business!
I was stuck in the same situation and here's what I did. I change my pic to one of eminem. The change the basic and story info accordingly and then turned of all notifications
Phony profiles and views abound/STAY AWAY
Zoosk is a line ofcrap. Fake profiles, fake messages, fraudulent, full of deception, just like Match.com, but much, much worse.
While that may be true, I have met one person from Zoosk, and we met without me even giving Zoosk money. So take that for what you will.
I have to agree, i signed up with no photo, and i repeatedly had people sending me messages which seemed very 'stock' like what would you do if you had 3 wishes, and 'im available to chat'. Obviously this is encouraging people to interact. I suppose its like the old nightclub trick, where if theres a lot of girls in a club, then there will be more guys come in and buy drinks. Its a bit deceptive but kind of expected it. It also seems that there are the 'false' accounts just to get the ball rolling so to speak, and there are real accounts also.
bunch of fake profiles drop them ingoogle images first and you will see glad i didnt subscribe
Zoosk Owners are Fraudsters, and Facebook is their Pimp
It simply doesn't work. The operator doesn't want people to meet, but only get their money, stealing their money without counter-value.
The whole system is focussed on this, especially automatic answers on winks and messages, set to on by default.
Most of the profiles are scammers.
Be aware that you sign-up for free, and are first asked to purchase coins when you send messages. Coins are fair enough as pay per use principle. I even compared to other dating platforms and though yes, I like a pay per use. But then to answer a messages you need the monthly membership.
I throw out EUR 80.- out of the window. Stupid me!
I hate myself that I started to use and especially pay for it, but I hate Facebook even more to accept the ads and the app of Zoosk as my attention was attracted by the fact that friends invited me.
I agree!
I have used zoosk for three weeks, there is a fraudulent and scams people out there, first this lady told me she was interested in me, she would not take No for an answer, then after a week she blocked her email, week later another imposer said the something and I did not buy her P.S due to previous experience. The second one asked me, if i live alone, if i have a house, and what dishes i like, normally they will send you picture of beautiful women, scams be aware folks..
yeah!! and a lot of the girls are from the Nigerian scams.. They will say all kinds of stories and have numbers and stuff.. and then ohh send me money , i have to take care of my Ailing mother..
I just think Zoosk is just another one of their scams .. will have to look into who's managing it.. maybe some Nigerian Scam group..
What a money scam.....
This site is a major league money rip off! They charge a hefty fee up front to become a member. Then once you start getting connections from other members, they want you to pay more to meet these members and to be able to communicate with them.
I would not recommend this dating site to anyone......!
I used for one year didn't get any I sent at least 300 messages only one fat girl sent a message and u get lots of fake messages they sent a chat request and after like 1 hour they don't exist no more I think this page is a scam don't waste your money go to the bar there's real people there
It's a rip off. I winked at a local match and then sent her a quick message.
I got a reply from her saying thanks for the wink, send a message! It was a automatic response from the site, not the woman. The same con worked to get me to join in the first place. I winked, got a reply to send a message, joined so I could send a message and then never heard from the woman. Use the free sites or a more reputable pay site.
yes Rolo you are so right.
I wish I had never joined this site. I received a message in my email that a
member wanted to meet me. I had to pay an extra 24 dollars to get on the
site, and after I did, I never heard from this woman, and I have not been
able to chat with one member on that site!. It is a big rip off! I would not
recommend it to anyone!
Facebook is also in it.
Never trust Facebook with any private information!
A smorgasbord of fake profiles.
This crap is a world full of fake profiles.
1. Time and time again in searches I saw the same profile pics of very attractive girls and yet when it came to looking at the locations of these girls they all were different yet having the same profile pic. I used to use an app on Facebook and Bebo called Friendzii and I saw the same sort of thing on there as well so this is a BIG giveaway!
2. So many inactive and idle accounts and profiles on there. Many people join up to this and just leave their profiles unattended and unused. I know this because some of my female friends have accounts on there and never use them. What's the point of joining this if you aren't going to use it?
3. Similar as above in number 2 Too many unsubscribed people on there. If you are subscribed on there and you send these people messages you are going to be disappointed as these unsubscribed people won't and won't be able to reply to you. You are waiting your time!
4. Subscribed or unsubscribed people do not put in enough information about themselves in their profiles. This is useless to you if you want to get to know someone and make conversation. Again if they are unsubscribed there will be no return messages.
5. Searching it basically chooses the path it would like you to be on. You can alter your search settings to your area or city. It works for a short time but it then goes back to the path it would like you to be on and you then end up looking at people miles away from where you live and people who are not compatible to you should their profiles have enough information about them.
I can't believe a dating web site can be so shockingly inadequate for what it says it is.
Subscribing to this rubbish is a huge waste of your money. Don't bother with it.
I just signed up to see what is there, but it is all fake to make money, please be aware of that,
Thanks,
I signed up and used it for one week. then I found the scammers and tried to cancel my account, when it showed up on my credit card, They had charged me for six months, which I never authorized. I called the company and they said they would not refund. I disputed the charge with my card and it is in the works now. I'll never do this again.
Similar to most I joined up free sent some winks received many back Sking me to send a detaed message then paid my $29 plus another $20'one off joining fee. I sent messages within a short time with no replies. Realised these girls were not members so couldn't see my messages so I say Why did they ask in the first place? I can only assume it was to entice me to join zoosk!
With enough disputes, the credit card co will red flag them.
then dispute!
I'm sorry it didn't work out for you but it did for me. I found a great guy that lives about 40min from me. We met and hit it off. We have plans to get together this weekend. I paid for 3mths and have been using it for about a week and in my state I can't get a refund after 3 days of membership for any unused time so i'm out all that money but in the long run I found an awesome guy so i'm happy.
lucky you, you paid by Zoosk to write that?
This Says It All
After a Zoosk ad blitz caught my attention, I thought I'd give it a try. I didn't pay anything, just joined free and put minimal info on the profile so I could at least look around,
In no time, I started receiving winks and flirts from women who lived nowhere near me, sometimes in languages I didn't speak. Also, Zoosk decided to show me some barometer of how "popular" I was, with the no-so-subtle inference that if I'd just throw some cash their way, I'd be even more popular! Oh happy day!! Everyday, I would receive a wink, a flirt, a message that indicated I was highly interesting and/or attractive to the "woman" sending the message. Wave the Red Flag of Scam, boys & girls!
Remember the "minimal info" I spoke about earlier? My profile consists of nothing more than my initials, age, gender and general location. No pics, no verbage, nothing, And yet, I'm interesting and attractive! And oh yes, I can be in contact with these prescient beings who find me so, if only I'd dump some cash in Zoosk's pocket, Um, right.
I leave it to you to decide what this company is.
Zoosk Sucks It is a bunch B.S. I leave short messages and get no response.
zoosk, kiss or any other - yes there are many other online dating sites - surprisingly controlled by two greedy companies, but they also don't have much in security either. Most flirts, winks on these sites are fraudulent, they're scams looking for your email, personal info etc.

What a scam! Don't have anything to do with this!
Too good to be true
Keep it old school & get a professional escort off backpage.
Great website for those that have low self-esteem & don't mind wasting money to flirt with fake profiles to have their heart broken.
Upwards of 50% fake profiles, the remaining of which are either entirely undesirable (gross) or inactive (and suspect of being fake). Zoosk is a great way to waste time, unless you really want a go-nowhere chat with some sweaty interns sitting in a windowless room at Zoosk world headquarters in San Francisco.
They refused any and all refunds, despite their admission that fake profiles was a frequent complaint of their site (and I quote "as it is with ALL dating sites") BUT they do their best to limit the number of fake profiles...
Personally, I think it's a scam, with the coins and boost BS, and I'm hoping that in a couple years I get a letter regarding a class-action suit against these clowns.
As for you, I suggest looking elsewhere.
If u need help with the crooks behind this scam, I'm there!!
I need help. They charged $81.00 to my credit card without my knowledge. I called them and they say they will not credit it back to my card or refund the money. I have a dispute going with my credit card. These reviews will help me a bunch.
contact your credit card company and dispute the charge. now.
100% Scam
Full of scammers
forget about every other i think about 99% of the accounts are fake, ive canceled my subscription
Ya it seems these dating sites are tag teaming us.
Left zoosk and went harmony,apparently thy couldn't find anyone that's its my profile,back to the bar I guess...at least u get laid once in awhile
Just spam
This rubbish should be banned it is intrusive and in my case totally unwanted to the extent that I am seriously considering cancelling my account on facebook which I will do if it continues
With ya james
Yep, Zoosk is a crock ofcrap. Pathetic internet criminals.
Shady Site, but at least I got my money back
I tried out Zoosk as an unpaid member initially. It was fun getting the flirts and initial emails from guys. I liked the fact that you could login into your profile from the app on your phone, which is very addictive.
I received messages from several handsome guys that I was interested in communicating with, but I could not see their messages or profiles as an unpaid member, so I went ahead and paid the $54.94 for a one month membership.
Hmm, out of about 10 guys that I was interested in communicating with (who sent me messages like, "How are you", "You're Beautiful" etc,) I only ended up communicating with 3 of them once I subscribed. These were guys whose profiles indicated "College Degree", but their grammar was horrible, very choppy sentences, no capitalizations and barely intelligible - That was one red flag. They all asked for my phone number straight away without even sending a few messages back and forth.
There was one guy "Mike" who only had one picture up, I asked him to send me more pictures and he said that he would. During the course of him responding to one of my messages, he mentioned that he was not in the U.S. His profile said that he was located in the Bronx, NY. I asked him where he was located and asked him to send me the pictures that he had promised. He simply answered and I quote: "no, i don't wat to"
There was another guy, "Boy" who had four, attractive, pictures up and said that he was from Up-State NY. I asked him to Skype with me and he was not interested...he just kept asking for my phone number.
All of this was just really creepy, so I decided to cancel my account. I canceled online and I called the customer service # (1-888-WE-ZOOSK) to ask for a refund. Thank goodness this turned out to be a painless process. I was on hold for no longer than 2 minutes, I explained to the customer service rep that I believe people are making fake profiles and I didn't want to be a part of that. She canceled my account and said that a refund would be issued in 5-7 business days. I also received an email confirmation of this.
I'm happy that I didn't lose any money in this. It was a BIG lesson learned. I would not recommend Zoosk to anyone.
P.S. Please be aware that I only had my account open for 2 days before closing it. So the 3-day Buyer’s Remorse period may be the reason that I was so easily issued a refund.
Used to be a member and a while it was fun but now, from my own experiences, its full of Nigerian scammers posing as US soldiers and other personnas. I think the site needs to be policed more.
due to a comment by TAM..above...I too was able to get a refund..I was only an "official" paying member of the site for 1 day and was having difficulty contacting ZOOSK to cancel.....thank you Tam for your comment in sharing your experience..I persisted making the call until I got thru....I too will be a lot more careful in the future...bottom line be careful to whom you give your cc info to and do your homework PRIOR to making any kind of purchase....
its crap dont pay for it
Ya, for A man it's reay bad, because the women cant communicate and they won't sign up so you just making A fool out your self sending messages. They need to tell us this from the beginning. 100's of women on zoosk can't send messages back and when you try to send them an e-mail so they can communicate, they cut them off.
Junk
Newly single, been spreading around seeds on many free sites. Zoosk seemed like a good idea, but couldn't message anyone without becoming a subscriber, which I'm not ready to do. When I modified my profile to make it clear I couldn't chat, they messily cropped pieces out of it as they approved the changes.
Getting annoyed, did a little research and found 100s of bad reviews and nothing good. I never spent the $$ to find out if the couple locals who kept Winking and Messaging me were real or not, but suspecting they aren't.
Every indication points to this being a total scam. I just deleted my profile there and will stick to the actual free sites for now.
yes they say try it for one month free but then they ask for your card is a scam
Yeah, thanks. I just did the same as you from Facebook. But it just seems really suspicious. Like really, I'm going to pay money just to say hello to someone. No I think not. And you don't even know, they could all be proffessionals paid to be online like that. I mean I don't, I couldn't even get a hello in
You Get What You Pay For
I understand the feelings of everyone that has submitted a review. I have no problem with a site that charges people to utilize all of the perks of a having a membership, I found the $24.95 one time activation fee to be a little unnecessary, and borderline deceptive.
The good news is I met a lovely woman on Zoosk.com, and although we have yet to meet in the real world, we have spent countless hours on the phone and moving close to an actual in person romance.
However, in order to initially communicate with each other, we both had to fork out nearly $60. Regardless of the outcome of our meeting, It was money well spent.
Businesses are in business to make money, and when you are in the business of match-making you are never in short supply of people who are looking for their soul mate. Therefore, I cannot condemn the business model of Zoosk.com.
I hope you all find what what you are looking for as you embark upon your quest for true love. And when the opportunity of a lifetime presents itself, I hope you through caution into the wind, and slap down the $60.
Zoosk dating site is a scam. The people are not real. Made up. Lots of people viewing your profile but that's as far as it goes. You send off messages to them but never get a reply. I sent 100 woman a message, not one reply. Anyone joining this site is wasting their money.
Sorry to hear about your experience Jack :(
Jack is absolutley right. Zooks is a total and complete scam. This site needs to be shut down now! I dont mind paying when I get something in return. I do mind being ripped off.
That is just insane, you had to pay $60 just to talk to a girl !!! utter madness
Worst Dating Site Ever!!!!
In my opinion, the site is difficult to navigate and frequently did not function properly. And this so-called "points system" is just a scam...another vehicle to extract money from the Zoosk customers.
Save yourself the money and frustration of dealing with Zoosk...Christian Mingle and Match.com are far superior to Zoosk.
Do not sign up. Save yourself the money for a nice dinner.
I also fell for the scam believing the profiles were real. Its all true, they bait you and bait you and bait you till you sign up, then those very same people that were trying to contact you are corporate workers with fake profiles.
I paid the three month and the coins. a loss of $99.00. Will def research any dating site prior to signing up. Good Luck.
I Agree with you 100% mate ,i sign up not long ago and will not be rejoining up.My experience was when i went on the site had heap of reply's by goodlooking people,but i could not reply back after a few time's thought i would get somewhere if i sign up, Now first of all im a nice looking person no way am i ulgy but went on a dating site because im not a club person and don't go out much,well OMG first time i got on site i thought gee 11 phone numbers i got and thought it strange no bugger would answer there phone,you would think having 11 phone numbers you would get lucky with at least 2 of them ,well didnt the next best thing text them all,yeah few didn't reply and a few did,well i tryed to carry on with a conversation but none seem that interested in a conversation or didn't reply back to me,was chatting to a friend recenty and they said give the one that near your area a go so i contacted them,never heard from them back ,you would think being in same area that person would want to meet you for coffee chat but no ,well after that i've come to the conclusion it is nothing but a fake site a total scam site ,now if i meet a few i would not have come to that conclusion but that many phone number's and none wanted to meet yeah find that very strange ,but i believe you 100% they use tricks to make you want to join to bait you and to scam you out of your money
You have been warned - ZOOSK is a scam
Don't waste your money
Expensive and got me no where. You have to pay for everything.
I am no oil painting but most of the guys are either old, ugly or uneducated.
My advice- give it a miss.
I'm convinced it's a fraud.
The confirmation email never came. So that says enough as far as I was concerned.
Waste of time!
dude if you think about it a lot of guys are looking for love , statistics say its limited to finding that online and maybe once ,upon a time it probably was possible. But now with all the crap and scamming thats happening around us , who do you trust , the sad thing its gotten to that. Im not here to promote any other dating site, as far as im concerned they are all money making schemes from probably the same guys over and over. If i can say dont waste your time with them . Hope you get what you want Andrew, just watch your back man
Try PlentyOfFish (pof.com). Its completely free, ever since using it i havent had any complaints with it at all. Met my current girlfriend on there :) But yeah Zoosk and eHarmony and Match.com... i tried them all but they're really not worth the money. In my experience the only site i truly thought was good was pof.com. Check it out, nothing to lose as its completely free
My son told me about this site. I will check it out. Thanks
Zoosk is a total scam. There computers say girls are viewing you when they have not been on the site in years. I know some people that they said viewed me
which they didn't. The ladys signed into there accounts and none of this showed on there profile. That leaves one thing Zoosk computers are busy tricking GUYS.
