When you first access their web site you have to fill out an individual profile in order to become a trial member and to see if other members are interested in making contact with you. Within a day or so you start receiving messages. Of course since you're not a paid subscription member you cannot respond to these messages.
As the days passed there were more and more messages accumulating. So I decided to pay the so-called Premium Membership fee of $49.90 for the first 2 months. Once I did, I was then able to respond to the messages that were of interest to me. The odd thing was that each time I responded, I had to enter a different code with each message that was supposedly sent (I never received any type of confirmation, nor could I access any message previously sent). It was as if each message was being screened. After all why couldn't a paid member simply send a message directly to another member without any company involvement?
After sending about 15 messages as replies and another 5 messages to make contact, I became very discouraged because I did not receive a single response. I also noticed that right after paying the membership fee that the number of messages I received nearly stopped entirely. So, I decided to simply let my paid membership expire.
As soon as that happened, all of a sudden the messages started coming in at a rate of 5 to 10 each day. The funny thing was that it was apparent that these messages were bogus because many of them would not only use the same wording, but the photos of the members sending the messages would repeat themselves with different usernames! Of course they were all very enticing, but the only way I could respond would be to of course pay the membership fee once again. It's obviously a "bait and switch" operation with no real intent to help people make contact with one another.
I can only imagine how many thousands of people are getting ripped off on a daily basis!
