Well, I don't have such a good opinion of this site, but there is one thing I want to say: even though YES THERE ARE FAKE PROFILES ON THIS SITE, there are also real one.
Once I wanted to report one of those fake, the support did not even care to suspend the profile.
What more can I say? Ah Yes, I was able to see some few real profiles on this site, I mean, people that I had actually met in real life (I have lived various years in Colombia so I can tell). Turn out some girl are cam models, or sex workers, and the majority of the real ones are single mothers who desperately look for a way to run away from the difficult like they have in Colombia. (because if you're not aware, the minimal wage there is about 200$, and it is not so easy to even gain that much).
Still, I must say I had ONE great experience there, a charming and lovely lady with the same age, with whom I have chatted for 3 months, often doing videocalls, she is working, often travelling, speak several languages etc. We had a nice chemistry. She 'd never asked for money or anything like this. Truly an independent woman, even though despite working, she add to live to her parent house to save and pay for her debts. I should have continued with her, but for some reason I had to wait for more than 8 months to go back to Colombia, and was very disheartened. So I stopped (but still have her contact, I may speak again with her, we were good friends, but thing is that she is not looking to start a family, I do, and I know a another woman who would like with me but, isn't so lovely so… my problem)
You would have to look really carefully, and I would suggest to only consider verified profiles (the lady I spoke with for months had a verified profile, so this is the thing). Don't get to hooked with profiles with beautiful pic, those are often robbed. Others fake one just seem to be run by people hired to make members subscribe. Thing is, I have actually for for a very short time for such a company (you only learn about it at the very end, and I was desperate for money… still it was absolutely awful, never again) So I can tell when they're operate and if you see a lot of message rushing in your mail box the same day, it's certainly fake profile. Other note that they also using the already prepared questions available on the site. Well if it's start with "¿" it's more than 90% of time a fake profile, because Colombian people hardly use it to write or chat.

I have been off and on with this site for some time now, so this review is one to read. Many people here describe correctly the main issues, this review will be very detailed to help those who are currently on it, if you don't want to read on too much here it is summed up: Gold Diggers, Fake profiles, Prostitutes, Cam Girls, Instagram TOTH girls, and the famous Medellin Flake girls. Lets be real the desirable profiles are the ones most are going to go for not the uglies. Some of these profiles are plain fake, others possibly legit but these girls have a system. Here is how to spot them, I really want to help my fellow men.
-They Want to Take Chat to Whatsapp almost immediately (this will be a scam where they will ask for money quick).
-They don't like answering questions about themselves, very short almost rude answers, very evasive. Again either a bot profile, fake profile, or scammer.
-Let's say you spend some time having conversations, a few weeks even some legit video calls so you are golden you think... Wrong, suddenly she is out of nowhere sick, cant pay rent, needs money to eat, sick family member, got sick again and she is deathly ill. If you send money expect to be sending regularly with new found issues. Guess what you just became a virtual suggar daddy/captain save a hoe.
-Business whatsapp account (big red flag).
-Sends you pics but for some reason does not want to do a video call. (Fake profile or pics)
-Lets say you send her 20 bucks cuz you have a heart, but she wants you to send it a cousin. She has no ID or lost it. (Scammer alert) also she is trying to hide her true identity in case it comes back to bite.
-(Long Read)Girls from Medellin have a well deserved reputation for being highly flaky, never travel to Colombia just to meet one girl no matter how much affinity you think you have with her. On any kind of match making or dating site you should setup dates with multiple girls to be sure you don't land in Colombia with all your hopes based on one girl only to find she flakes out. Many professional match makers and youtubers, and expats warn about this. It has happened, even to me luckily I setup multiple dates. These girls love to talk (verbo). But They love to flake out for many different reasons. But this occurs very commonly in Medellin, which is the main spot for most men wanting to meet girls from Colombia. Does this mean all the girls? No, but you really need to screen.
What you want to see is lots of questions about you, no and I mean no asking for money what so ever. There are good apps like Badoo or Tinder even that have better quality of women or even a match maker or just flying down there meeting them. I have had success with that approach. Cupid Media does not make any effort to screen these girls. Lots of these profiles over the years come up and down, these girls do this to avoid being reported. This website which is confirmed by the girls has a rep, which is gullible suggar dadies that these 'women' don't even have to sleep with to get money.
Oh and some of the women reviews are hilarious especially calling out old sacks, probably because they are not attractive enough to do any better. And hey if they don't like it, they can stick to their men.
My tip is don't , but if you do , keep in mind what I have mentioned there are some real not bad women but we are talking 1 in 10. Do NOT send money. Also consider using a match maker if you really want a wife. If you want just some fun then this site actually might be good for that.
I did some online research about Columbia as a country, and it's progress. I then started watching videos and reading reports about its women. The reviews about the women were in the big cities were mixed. It appears the social media THOT culture has infected Latin America. Reality series like "90 Day Fiance" have convinced attractive Colombian women that they can hit the citizenship, sugar baby, financial jackpot by meeting an American online.
I created one profile with a random photo of an average looking adult male and listed my age as 45. I got 14 messages and 6 likes within the first 48 hours. Then over the following 4 weeks, a total of 29 messages and 12 likes. The woman ranged in ages from 21-55. Several looked like obvious prostitutes, wannabe sugar babies, and Instagram thots. Most of the messages had the exact same content and started out with the same intro. I was smart enough not to pay for premium memebrship, so I could not read the messages. But, I could see the first word, and I could count the letters, length of sentences, the number of paragraphs, and most were exactly the same! What are the chances? This means: The website is using bots to initiate conversations to entice you to pay for a premium membership. Or the women send out the same copy and paste, cookie-cutter messages to see what thirsty idiot will bite? Or maybe both?
A month later, I opened up another account with a more attractive, fit, younger photo of another man. This time aged 39. That profile received 37 messages and 14 likes in 24 hours! Many of the same women, the exact same messages.
I had seen enough, and I went to delete my profile. ColombianCupid does NOT give you the option of deleting your profile. You can only "hide" your profile. When I wrote to them and asked them how to delete my profile. I got this automated email response:
"Dear member,
Thank you for contacting us.
If you wish to permanently remove your profile, please reply this email to advise us the reason and we will do it for you. Please note that if you have an existing paying membership, you will lose the unused membership time on your account if you choose to permanently remove your profile."
What nerve! You have been warned!
