ZOOSK offices address
February 20, 2013

Hi guys, thanks to Google and Bloomberg, here is the physical address of the company (becasue somewhere they still need to have an office... they are not like Skynet yet...)

475 Sansome Street

10th Floor

San Francisco, CA 94111

United States

Phone:

415-362-1000

Fax:

415-358-4873

www.zoosk.com

So if anyone of you lives in San Francisco, perhaps he/she could walk the their reception an ask to talk with Shayan Zadeh or Alex Mehr (CEOs). If they tell you they are busy and should take an appointment, perhaps you can reply not to bother as you'll rather file a report at the nearby police station (now that you know against whom) and the police will handle the matter from there on.

Waste of Time and Money
February 19, 2013
This is the worst dating site. Whenever they say someone wants to meet, it turns out the person is not a member. After paying your membership, you have to 'buy' coins in order to see profiles or matches. There is nothing straightforward about this site. They seem to think singles have nothing better to do than play tech games and spend time on the computer. A complete waste of my money.

SCAM CITY CENTRAL
February 15, 2013

Hello, I too have been scammed by Zoosk. I can't seem to find any contact info for them as I want my money back. Every time I click on anything Zoosk it takes me to my profile page. HELP! Do you have any info?

Marissa February 19, 2013

call them at 888-939-6675. Expect to wait a few days before they get back to you. This is the worst dating site I've ever encountered.

ZOOSK is a Big SCAM!
February 15, 2013

After a few weeks of getting messages from ZOOSK members, and NOT having the ability to reply to them, I forked over the money to activate my account.

After sending a couple of messages to local women, I got a couple of replies, "I haven't subscribed to ZOOSK *YET*, so I can't really chat"...

So after this, I sent out messages to literally hundreds of local women, just to see if I would get any legitimate responses, and of course I didn't. Only a few, "I can't afford this crap, so we can't chat"...

The whole purpose of this site is to connect with people. You are led to believe that you'll have that ability once you pay, but in reality you can only establish contact with paid members. I get the feeling that the reason there seems to be such a variety on this site is because every girl with a facebook account was tricked into setting up a ZOOSK account at some point, because only about 2% of these people are active, ACTIVATED *Paid* members.

Next gripe is the "CAROUSEL"... With this "Feature", you have the ability to quickly browse members by scrolling through their pics. You can't pull up their profile from this module, so you have no idea if they are compatible, or even in the same state. As far as I can tell, this is the only way to 'browse' active members but I could be wrong about that. At any rate, before you can initiate a conversation with a member found via carousel, (or even view their profile), you are expected to PAY UP MORE for each contact!!! I really should give ZOOSK props for being beyond slimy, misleading and down-right deceitful. I guess they call it "CAROUSEL", because it sounds a lot better than "Random, far away people that will cost you more money for absolutely nothing"

It's really too expensive to begin with, so I refused to fork over money for random contact with people who are likely in a different state, of whom I know nothing about... I was totally misled and scammed out of my money. I'm going to give ZOOSK a chance to refund my money tomorrow, but I get the feeling that I'll need to call my bank and force the reversal.

I tried to call them the very first day, but I waited on hold for twenty minutes and didn't get anyone on the phone and I had to leave. On the surface it appears to be a great site with a great potential, but after further examination it's definitely a stinker and a money pit. I wouldn't touch ZOOSK with a ten foot pole. Total JIP!!!

JEM February 15, 2013

Went on zoosk and to do anything you must pay,pay & pay again. If you don't, they tell you you are not popular.That is minor compared to the fact that i thought i found someone one the site only to find out that that person was a con artist and wanted money from me.I was smart and contacted law enforcement.I was told to contact zoosk about it and they just fluffed me off. Zoosk is bad news!!!

JACQUELINE February 18, 2013

Totally agree with your comments Jem. I have been fooled by someone claiming to be a German architect living in London when a scammer asking for money and sending me a fake letter from a shipping company claiming the parcel he sent me was stuck in customs and i needed to pay £600 to release it. I realised then and gathering together my evidence so lucky i didnt pay any money or give any bank details but reading lots of articles people have given over money. These people are very clever and im furious!!

Elizabeth March 01, 2013

I had the same person probably. He's asking for money and I told him -shame on you, never ever ask a lady to give you money- his name- Paul Nazario maybe it was not his real name, who knows?

Scammer
February 14, 2013
There was/is a man that has scammed. He was listed as partner4life13. He is not who he said he was!!! He is probably going to hurt somebody. Luckily I listened to my gut. He does not even live in my area like he said he did!! His phone number is listed out of Monument, Oregon. I asked for a refund, was told no! I feel like I was scammed and if I would have met him I would have died or got hurt very badly. He said all f the right things at first then it got strange. I hope nobody gets hurt or murdered by him. I WANT MY CREDIT CARD REFUNDED!!!!!!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!

Jem February 15, 2013

Ladies ~ stay far far away from walter101. It is not his picture on his profile and he is a con.He is very good with words and knows just what to say. After a few weeks he will tell you he won a contract somewhere and then ask you for money( not a small amount either ). I reported him to the authorities and zoosk. Zoosk did nothing. By the way , he also is on Netlog

Pam February 19, 2013

these people keep changing names, contact info. I have been contacted by a couple of decent men but most contacts turn out to be scammers of some sort. Most of them send off zoosk email addresses. they all say how wonderful they are and how wonderful they want to treat the woman that they are sure is you after just reading your profile. then they often send an attachment claiming it is his photo or his daughter's photo. so often they are widowers. when I say I don't open attachments I do not hear from them again. I suspect they are wanting you to download a info grabbing virus. Remember...if he sounds too good to be true, he probably is a scammer

Llynne March 08, 2013

True

Agreed
February 13, 2013

Wish I'd read these before joining! I had ONE interesting contact ,after three weeks of chatting me up ..asked for money to be sent urgently to Cyprus where he was working! SCAM ( and he didn't get any money )

Debra February 14, 2013

Almost got scam by two men whom was very good looking FAKE, ONE said he was born NZ OMG the story he told .The other from Aussie . well it just seemed really strange that he had the exact same job IN Nigeria ,both in Nigeria at the same time Yeh had me for a couple of weeks . Both ONLY had yahoo email for contact .Both said cant wait READING FROM YOU .! Both back off when I mention to a 3rd one. that im onto them . .I now believe they were fake ID ,, they both said they were working in Nigeria as a construction Architect They deleted themselves and will begin with all new identities , I REPORTED IT TO ZOOSKS AND THEY DONT GIVE A crap .Just glad i was smart enough to see it .Unlucky for those who took the bate.

PAT February 16, 2013

i almost got scamed to from Nigeria

Piece of junk. DOn't forget to mention the $24.95 "activation" fee
February 11, 2013
I am so totally bummed by this crap. I think the profiles presented to me as "possible matches" MUST be real because I've never seen a larger grouping of women that I would rather up-chuck and eat it than meet with, let alone go out with. The carousel just confirms all the homeliest people I've ever seen. I'm sorry - maybe I'm conceited, but, um, I'm good-looking, attractive, professionally employed - these are NOT the types of women I would ever even talk to. SOO glad I didn't pay. I will make ONE exception - her profile seemed genuine - it said she was only 3 miles away. One measley picture, but there was something about her. I wasn't about to pay to subscribe to get tons of pictures of UGLY WOMEN, so I couldn't contact "Rachel." After a few of her tries and not contacting me, she apparently turned off her profile. Well, "Rachel," if you're out there and REAL, I'm sorry I missed you. I'm turning my profile off of the SHxxTTY site as well...

Jim February 12, 2013

I agree how the fee was just too high to activate, which by the way was $29.95 for California! If had the opportunity to view a message then pay to respond I would more then likely be happy to pay. I received two winks from "SMN" and her profile and picture was intriguing me to pay that outrageous amount just to see the possibilities of meeting this lady. I concluded that a night out to a public place including drinks would at least run me $30 with no promise of meeting the right woman, so with that I paid. Here it is 3 months later and we are a couple, a very happy couple, and we both canceled our subscription soon after meeting. And for the record I am a college professor and she is a doctor and as for attractiveness–well our friends tell us how great we look together.

Rohlan February 13, 2013

ya right thats so made up

Peter March 08, 2013

these guys are out there to only take your money and not, give you the services needed . please be aware that most of these dating sites, are set up by shady characters hiding behind the internet world. One thing i might add that the ratio between men and women is so much different its like, 18% of women to 85% of men who are on these dating sites. So trust me ive done a lot of research on this , and my conclusion is that go out in the real world and not the internet world and you would have more success in chatting up a man or a lady than all the fake profiles found on the web

Thanks

Peter

It's a scam
February 10, 2013
I can't believe there's still scam out there like zoosk when everybody else is offering this for free.

Garbage
February 7, 2013
Don't waste your time and money!

No rating deserved
February 6, 2013
Just riddled with scammer profiles to pull you in. Rest of the profiles is just not interesting. Glad I only paid for one month, but even that was wasted completely....don't even try

Jack February 06, 2013

Thank god I only paid for one month, yes as with a lot of these sites jammed with scammer's. Waste of money

no stars
February 1, 2013
waste of time and money. should be shut down.

Sin Q February 23, 2013

like i said before i new it was a scam ...im street smart!! it should be shut down is this the same guy that made facebook

Zoosk shows a profile viewed when in fact it WASNT
January 31, 2013

If you page through to see who viewed your profile, Zoosk is telling that person you viewed their profile. So everytime you page through to delete people who you think viewed you, it looks like you just viewed that person... Which is a great way to encourage unwanted attention by people you have no interest in. And people wonder how stalkers are born... maybe because a site like this encourages them!

3.5 days of use and I'll chalk that lost money up to a lesson learned... unsubscribed and delete. Painful lession, but Thank God I only got suckered into a 3 month subscript... but ouch, I so could have done something better with that money.

Doecoise February 06, 2013

I so agree with this review. I not only found them really skin deep with their carousel approach but also I am pretty sure they have riddled this site with fake profiles that are just there for you to subscribe and then they either disappear or are just not online enough etc. and I am not even an ugly duckling. ****ty site!

HORRIBLE SITE
January 28, 2013
This is a horrible site. Do not give it money. There are many scammers on it. The only person worth chatting with (according to picture and profile) turned out to be a fraud. I googled the picture after the conversation got weird and it came up as a picture that has been used in multiple frauds. I sent it to the FBI. Zoosk should be shut down.

Trev January 30, 2013

I agree totaly , have been on the site for about 1 week , it all reverts to your subcription , you try to see who has viewed you , YOU have to pay , I have not recieved one message ODD , when you want to view YOU have to pay , i had a match and to view guess , I ve just uninstalled it , good bye Zoosk and all who sail with you

CONCUR ! January 30, 2013

Another ..... RIP- OFF Dating Site !!!!!! OUTDATED PHOTOS ...

SCAM....... BS...... and that's GOOD StuFF !!!

Does not even deserve the one star!
January 27, 2013
First you pay to become a memember, then you have to pay to actually even have a conversation with a connection! what a scam! DO NOT WASTE your money on this site... have been on for almost six months, not renewing of course and have not met ONE person. Also, I know people who closed their account and the profile still comes up! So of course you do not know if the person even has an active account anymore! SCAM! Stay away! I am praying that I do not get any charges on my account after my sub. is up!

Sin Q February 23, 2013

so were is a good dating site adult friend finders was the same scam...if u did find a girl she was a prostitute..lol i felt scam from the time i looked the site over would never join...but there a lot of lonley people who got screwed over..folks go back to bars like the old days forget this cyber ****

Not even worth a star
January 23, 2013
I totally agree. I just spent the last hour on the phone between Zoosk and my bank. I had $200 worth of charges show up in my bank account this morning from Zoosk. I have NEVER used this site AND I certainly have NEVER given them any credit card/debit card information. After a lot of back and forth, zoosk informed me that it was in fact fraudulent activity and EY shut it down and will be refunding my money. I, along with my bank think that this is still very suspicious so I have also filed a dispute claim with my bank against zoosk, if in fact they end up NOT refunding my money. I had to cancel my card and now have to wait 5 business days to receive another. SUCH a pain in the you know what. Not to mention, 4 months ago wVhen i received an email from a friend asking me to "check out" his new pictures that he uploaded in zoosk. Stupid me I clicked on link and then zoosk sent out same email, from my address, to every single person that I have ever sent an email to OR that has sent me an email OR any email chains that I was included on, asking them to "check out" my pictures that I uploaded. Wich I hadn't. Complete nightmare. Iget about 15 emails from zoosk per day. This sort of thing should be illegal. Can you tell that I am fuirous?!?! Don't ever do anything on Zoosk!!!!!!!

Random g January 24, 2013

I think you just suck at computers...

Nate January 25, 2013

Sorry about that i was being lured by this woman on craigslist to join a dating site coz of safety issues on her part. I put in my card info but before i clicked submit i decided to check out reviews. thanks for posting this you saved my life. There are so many of these sites it's so annoying.

Have to Pay to Meet
January 21, 2013

I made the mistake of having a 3 month paid membership. This should mean that nothing else requires payment. However, if there's a mutual match they require payment to actually contact each other. That's a definite scam. Once you pay, that should be it.

By the way, you have to uncheck the appropriate box or it will renew automatically. They are worse than useless and I would give it less than 1 star if possible.

GOODLUCK January 22, 2013

Zoosk is full of it... You have to pay to get your messages.. Its a scam... Liars.. They are not freeeeeeeeeeeeee... Freaking lying scam site.. Lets make it go bye bye... They lie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brandy January 22, 2013

Thanks for the advise I will avoid that app.

VERY BAD
January 19, 2013
1 main reason I'm deactivating my account, I can not add my partner from facebook. How awful...

Pathetic....
January 15, 2013
I don't think you should have to pay to meet someone. If they don't like what you say they delete it. I wouldnt recommend anyone to use this site ever. I wouldnt even rate it that high. These people are PATHETIC!

Garbage January 16, 2013

I agree you should not have to pay to chat with someone there are others out there that you dont have to pay for

Concern January 18, 2013

I'm just raising my concern i think there is a few scammers on your website would e nice if you could control this website.

Hey d January 25, 2013

I am not a scammer, and Zoosk is the biggest dating scam site out there. Charge people to connect after you already shelled out 50 bucks. I hope karma finds this website's owner and makes him pay.

1.14.2013
January 14, 2013
getting the same exact from more than 7 zoosk users at the same time , it explains everything

Clear January 19, 2013

I came the check out the authenticity of zoosk by reading reviews and boy did I get a good laugh. This is what I love about being in American great and funny people. Love yall

Garbage, sucked in again
January 13, 2013
i got sucked in again. not only did i sign up for 3 months. but they added an additional fee. it was supposed to be 59 dollars it turned out to be 80 something dollars . for which they don't give you diddly squat. Story, Whats my story? Try this for starters Today Sunday January 13th . i have sent 20 different so called members a note , chat request or message . Some of these messages were a response to so called chat requests . Story?  i got zero answers or responses. I didn't ask any one to marry me or god forbid was i abusive in any way.  but zero responses, Am I the only idiot to pay for a member ship? I cant't believe i got sucked in again . My profile has been viewed 162 times.How many of the profiles on here are real? how many views are Zoosk computer generated. . I am really disappointed. Thank you.

Charles January 21, 2013

Zoosk is a scam

Louise S January 25, 2013

my picture was seen on Zoosk,ive never joined Zoosk but it popped up when I clicked on "see who has searched for you" while playing games on facebook..and since then Ive had 2 people to tell me they seen my f/book profile picture there...Im guessing its because of the time I clicked to see who was searching for me...but I want it stopped,but dont know how..help!

Paul January 29, 2013

Without me repeating Nick , I had exactly the same experince as far as views,chat requests, and matches. Zero responces . Zoosk is a total waste of time and money.Think the site is a big scam.

Brad February 23, 2013

Yes agree both people have to be paid members to send messages so its a total waste of time and money if your the only one that pays a memembership.
