I don`t like it
May 5, 2013
I didn’t like it at all. Super boring website with strange people. This idea of single friends scares normal people away. Hahaha There are lots of better sites for meeting interesting and fun people. I had an account on AFF but changed it fast to www.globogirls.com Cool girls,very hot ones and funny . They are not shy to open cams guess this gives the idea about real people on the site.

Kevin May 07, 2013

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.

Just started
May 3, 2013
I'm still confused on how this works. Why can't I see profiles of other members?

Linda L May 09, 2013

Melissa; get out out of there quick-don't fall for their lies--try Match.com or

plenty of fish-

Annonymous May 16, 2013

Yes get out of here.. Do not ever come back.. Block it..

THIS COMPANY MUST BE DISBANDED
April 30, 2013
I, like many of the disgusted people on this website, made the terrible mistake of buying into this garbage. This is the first and last time I will ever do online dating. Absurd. Full of fake profiles. I will make sure that everyone I meet will never pay for Zoosk. This company will be gone in a couple years.

Turki April 30, 2013

Thanks

Zoosk Canceled my Account - Horrible Customer Service
April 26, 2013

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.

Jaime April 28, 2013

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!!

Elizabeth May 03, 2013

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!

Taurus July 04, 2013

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
April 10, 2013
I made the mistake of joining Zoosk. While there are tons of issues I could detail I will simply provide one example. In the span of 35 minutes or less while reviewing a search result I came across 6 totally phony profiles as three photos were used in the 6 profiles. Each pair used slightly different language and obviously different screen names and ages but a couple suffered from some glaring mistakes. One pair, for example, had the same photo of a women but the ethnicity checked on both was about as far off as they come. Also their are not that many profiles where any effort has been taken to fill in any information other than that required such as age, education etc. Not a word filled out in any other category. However I admit I also made the mistake of joining Match.com and they are not much better. All these services inflate their memberships with phony profiles in my opinion. Also I wonder how some can claim that a large percentage (not going to quote but I think most know the figure and site) of matches are made online. Bottom line take the total US Population of singles over 18 and compare that number with the total membership of EVERY SINGLE DATING SITE, and if you come up with 2% of all singles that would be a stretch. Outright lies to sell a product seems a bit sketchy although I admit I fell for it without giving much thought. Stick to singles events and the like as online dating is all about scamming you in one way or another.

Lance April 17, 2013

Zoosk is a line ofcrap. Fake profiles, fake messages, fraudulent, full of deception, just like Match.com, but much, much worse.

Zach April 18, 2013

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.

Chaz April 23, 2013

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.

Cleo April 29, 2013

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
April 4, 2013

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.

No n April 07, 2013

I agree!

James April 30, 2013

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..

UnhappyZooskUser May 16, 2013

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.....
March 29, 2013

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......!

Rolo March 30, 2013

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

Dave April 03, 2013

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.

Jim April 03, 2013

yes Rolo you are so right.

D April 04, 2013

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!

Kim April 08, 2013

Facebook is also in it.

Never trust Facebook with any private information!

A smorgasbord of fake profiles.
March 28, 2013

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.

Zadaca April 05, 2013

I just signed up to see what is there, but it is all fake to make money, please be aware of that,

Thanks,

June F April 20, 2013

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.

Danny May 01, 2013

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!

Anon May 02, 2013

With enough disputes, the credit card co will red flag them.

Anne May 07, 2013

then dispute!

Donna July 25, 2013

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.

Anon August 06, 2013

lucky you, you paid by Zoosk to write that?

This Says It All
March 21, 2013

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.

Kurtmuel77 March 28, 2013

Zoosk Sucks It is a bunch B.S. I leave short messages and get no response.

Moff March 28, 2013

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
March 18, 2013

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.

Laughably D March 21, 2013

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.

Olga b April 15, 2013

If u need help with the crooks behind this scam, I'm there!!

Young a April 20, 2013

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.

Anne May 07, 2013

contact your credit card company and dispute the charge. now.

100% Scam
March 17, 2013
I paid though Paypal for 3 months. I found out after 3 days of BS profiles a scam. I filed a claim on Paypal for a return of my funds. I was talking to Paypal Rep then my money was reversed. No one real on there website. IT NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN & SUED!!!!!!

Full of scammers
March 13, 2013
It seems like every other profile is a fake.

Nathan March 16, 2013

forget about every other i think about 99% of the accounts are fake, ive canceled my subscription

Dean March 16, 2013

Ya it seems these dating sites are tag teaming us.

Ola b April 15, 2013

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
March 12, 2013
I joined the free part on FB. They just take over your FB page with their nonsense. Then you get emails from them from people who supposedly visited your profile as a come on to show you how many people you will find if you join. I think the emails are fake, but I"d have to join to really find out. Plus their aesthetics just makes them look silly and cartoonist.

James March 15, 2013

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

Ooga b April 15, 2013

With ya james

Riley April 17, 2013

Yep, Zoosk is a crock ofcrap. Pathetic internet criminals.

Shady Site, but at least I got my money back
March 6, 2013

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.

Jane March 09, 2013

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.

Jill Penc December 09, 2013

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
March 6, 2013
same story here I was contacted so much before I paid then once I paid nothing, says women look at my profile all the time but no one makes contact besides scammers. Ive had four women contact me with their profile saying they live close by but after msging me I find out they all live in Indonesia or are in England visiting sick friends or relatives etc etc big sob stories and huge detailed emails. Emails end with them needing money to get back to Australia and promises to pay it all back even asking if I would pick them up from the airport to meet for the first time... please.. heartless scammers!

Dean March 16, 2013

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
March 4, 2013

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.

Irma March 06, 2013

yes they say try it for one month free but then they ask for your card is a scam

Vittorio March 06, 2013

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
February 28, 2013

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.

Jack March 03, 2013

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.

Michael F March 04, 2013

Sorry to hear about your experience Jack :(

Dick March 26, 2013

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.

Greg May 21, 2013

That is just insane, you had to pay $60 just to talk to a girl !!! utter madness

Worst Dating Site Ever!!!!
February 27, 2013

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.
February 22, 2013

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.

Sam February 26, 2013

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

ZooskRippedOff May 10, 2013

You have been warned - ZOOSK is a scam

Don't waste your money
February 22, 2013

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.

Andrew February 23, 2013

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!

Peter March 08, 2013

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

Joe March 28, 2013

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

Young a April 20, 2013

My son told me about this site. I will check it out. Thanks
