This website sucks. Plenty of Fish and OK Cupid are 100% FREE and so much better. With Zoosk unless you are a paid member, you cannot do anything. You get all these winks and messages but you have no way to respond back. Also there appears to be no way to filter out the out of state guys. No way am I going to pay to be contacted by out of state. I've been on this website for 4 or 5 days and so far it is garbage and the worse one out there. I'm cancelling my account right now.

Paid for a membership and didn't really talk to anyone! All the people on this site saying the interactions stop once you pay, listen to them! I had 10x less the interactions once I became a paying member. Nothing about my profile or activity changed. This is a scam, and a smart one. Facebook has millions of users, it's the perfect site for a money grubbing con like this. Even their commercials are lame. Just avoid Zoosk. A waste of time and money.

Zoosk is bull $#*!. Big $#*!ing scam with tons of fake/inactive profiles on it with automated reply answers for winks and flirts. If you want to message someone, both of you have to be subscribed to it. They even try to slip an activation fee in there just before you click the pay button. If you cancel just before hitting the pay button they'll send a message saying they'll wave the activation fee so they can still get some money out of you.

I recently joined because a woman who looked very interesting sent me, allegedly a "Wants to meet you" request. And according to her profile we would have ended up friends I believe, at the very least. So much in common. I'm not very "mainstream" or middle class. It's difficult to find a potential female friend or love on a dating site. I have, but not on Zoosk. I'm getting, allegedly 70 or 80 hits a day plus lots of return visits. I've sent complimentary messages to a few. Complimenting profiles and pics. Women FAR away. No responses. Probably not paying members. No one but one far away looked like a potential friend anyway.
But back to the woman I DID want to meet. Her profile does not appear in a normal search of the close by city (SF) where she lives. Allegedly. I have not heard back from her. She has not yet read my message. Can she?
Was I snookered into spending more money than I was initially led to believe I would be spending in order to respond to a profile that does not exist?

DO. NOT. PAY!

Even as a free member you can see that it's a scam. You are allowed to send and receive one message to/from anybody, so I sent some of the "girls" my phone number and they all replied with "no, I'm not texting you, you have to sign up and talk to me on here first" - now ask yourself this: would a person who genuinely wants to find a date/relationship turn down an opportunity to contact someone only because they hadn't signed up to a paid membership? Don't think so! These "women" are Zoosk employees trying to extort money from you.

DO. NOT. PAY!

I have noticed that in addition to a few new visitors, the same visitors supposedly visited my site. But even after all of those visits, none of them sent so much as a wink or message. Of course, you can't respond because you have to pay. So then I decided to to do a search and I eventually came across two of the females who had supposedly visited my site numerous times. So I sent a wink to both. Both of the visitors were supposedly online recently, but not at the moment I sent my winks yet I got immediate, similarly generic responses from both.
Of course, I couldn't read the responses without paying but I could see how they began and that was all I needed to see to know they had to be fake.

Zoosk mainly but most dating websites are full of men that message women even though they live hundreds or thousands of miles apart. Is this man looking for love long distance? Obsolutely not! They are either dating scammers or men looking for sext talk to jack off with. Both are similar: they both only text. The dating scammers do not want you to hear their true accent ( they claim it is Italian) and jack men only want dirty talk by text.

This site is crap! As long as you haven't subscribed, you receive tons of proposals from good-looking girls, one every 5 minutes. When you want to reply, then you're redirected to the subscription page. Sometimes you're proposed to turn on your webcam by a lady. You can accept or refuse to see her. If you accept, then you see a girl in front of her PC in an office somewhere in Romania, Lithuania or whatever... So again all fake profiles!
Then once you've paid, it stops right away. No more or very few proposals.
If you don't believe me, just create 2 fake accounts in two different countries. Create one in France one in Belgium for instance. You will see exactly the same fake profiles of ladies in the two countries!
This site is simply a scam! I don't understand how not much more people complained about it! How can such a site exist?

If anyone knows how to create petition/ claim against this site, please share!

Or does anyone know the company name and address behind this ripoff?

Thanks
Hope it will help you not to walk into the trap as I did!

I had been a paid subscriber to zoosk for a few months when all of a sudden I am blocked by a zoosk administrator. I also received an email from them saying sorry to see you go as though I had cancelled my subscription. This all took place over 3 months prior to my paid subscription being due. I have sent dozens of emails to them asking for this problem to be rectified with not one reply. I then opened another profile and emailed them many more times still no response. I kept writing them messages in the "about me" section to see again if I would get a response... still nothing. They were obviously reading these messages as they kept rejecting the content. So they owe me 3 months subscription fee and for that I will write bad reviews wherever I can. Use Plenty of Fish instead as it offers the same for ZERO dollars. I urge everyone who has received nothing but ignorance from Zoosk to advertise this wherever they can... also spread the word to use a competitor. Remember POF :). ... Zoosk :(
