Lets just say, if it seems to good to be true, it probably is. Lots of smooth talking, slick foreign men praying on females who are truly sympathetic to most peoples concerns.

This is an overpriced site. You will sign up and pay, but find a lot of girls on their have not paid, so you cannot communicate with them so easily. You can try and provide email address, but Site Admin will delete it. Anyway I did get a couple of dates. One was from a Greek lady, who could not stop swearing in a conversation. The other was a German, who straight away wanted me to model for her. I have now become great friends with the German girl. Now there are more real people on their rather fake which is good, but be careful of the recurring charges when subscription runs out. I will give 3/5 as I did make a good friend out of it, but if that did not happen, it would have been a 1/5.

Zoosk is a police state
December 18, 2012

Zoosk is a police state. First of all, if you don't have a Facebook account you can't edit your profile. That is a load of garbage. Second off, they have a policy about what kind of PEOPLE are acceptable... if you don't fit their image they won't allow you to find people. This site really, really, REALLY needs to be shut down.

Have to say, Zoosk is one of the worst dating apps. People who have free memberships can't really do anything with the site. When you send a message to someone, it says you must pay for a membership. When you receive a message from someone, you won't even be able to see the message unless you pay real money by use of 'zoosk coins' or by paying for a the membership. What a way to rip off unassuming people. Also, the membership charge is almost the charge of the major online dating sites - http://match.com, http://eharmony.com, and zoosk's functionality is nowhere near that of those sites. Not only that, they charge a ridiculous 'activation fee' in order to get more money out of you. It's a dumb dating app and I don't see the point in using it for people who are free members.

Terrible site
November 15, 2012

Terrible site. Most of the "people" that contact you are not even real. They are like bots that just send everyone messages. You can spot them easily because they use pictures of super models and no descriptions. Plus they start giving u their emails and phone numbers before you've even said hello to them. Who does that? So one moment you have a new "flirt" or new "chat request" and then you go login to check it out and they're not even there anymore. Literally, their profile and everything has vanished from zoosk. This dating site is a scam, no matter how unsatisfied u are, terms say no refunds. Dont waste your time or money.

Zoosk is a scam!
November 8, 2012

Zoosk is a scam! You need to subscribe. Majority of the girls are hook up models. They are real ppl but not where they say there from and will ask for money. If they give u a chat line to go to that's one of them. Be sure to get some raunchy pics of them before disregarding. They're not shy in that aspect. If u get annoyed by the amount of them their e-mail names are real and you can f/b them. Maybe if we all started playing the game they will go away and give ppl seriously looking for a relationship a chance

Zoosk not only controls and limits your emails, they also have many planted accounts there to attract you but to never respond to your emails. I've used DateHookUp and Plenty of Fish with no problem connecting with women and communicating with them.

The guys on the site are majority ugly. They don't give you any way to contact them without having to pay money. Then they blocked me without explanation. They are the worst site ever and you will waste your time and energy. There are plenty of other sites that are way better than this one. Oh and be careful because they will either take your money or block you because you didn't subscribe with them

The website is not free and there are so many scammers on this website. There is not any existing form of validation on the identity of the website members.

Signed up just over a month ago and since then i've had aprox 30 flirts however when you click to see who they are, you either get a message saying that they are no longer a member of zoosk, or you are taken to a fake profile.

In one day I got 3 flirts from completely different people (suposedly) however all of them had obscure screennames, all beginning with 4 uppercased letters and ending with 3 numbers.

Dont use this site they also sell your e-mail address to 3rd parties as when i signed up I used the account *******@mydomain.com and goes to my catch-all however since signing up this address has been getting 3-4 spam e-mails a day and i've not advertised it anywhere other than zoosk.

I guess I had to rate Zoosk.com with at least one STAR... not deserved by the way. This site has more Fake profiles than any I have ever seen. If anyone does happen to contact you, chances are its a SCAM.
It is almost impossible to MEET ANYTHING on this site except disappointment in the time you have WASTED... TRULY WASTED in your life. In order to read a message or send a message - you MUST PAY. The only thing FREE about this Crappy website is setting up a worthless profile. If you pay for this site and send a message to someone who is not paying - THEY CAN NOT READ your message. Chances are because its ("FREE")... they will never read your message. Zoosk sends Auto Replies to "winks" to help encourage the ring of communication that ultimately fails in over 75% of users efforts. They monitor all changes to your account. They monitor your messages. This site should be for prisoners or something... who $#*!ing knows. I wouldn't even call this a DATING site. More like a "look at profiles for no reason" site. I'm pissed at how crappy zoosk.com truly is. They stole $24 for premium service and tried to tack on another $25 activation fee... like WTF. Who's activation fee is just as much as the membership. DUMB ASSES. Needless to say, after paying, i have yet to get a reply to any message, i have yet to get a message. This site is the most Pathetic thing you will ever visit if you do. PLEASE do NOT

Sure it's free to join, but: like other dating websites, even though you can download the 'instant chat', I find with most men that not only can I NOT see their message they sent me, I hardly can respond back to them! :( The message to 'subscribe' comes up constantly when I try to. I refuse to pay for an application through Facebook, and you are very limited in what you are able to do. You also can't give out your e-mail address or other such personal information to help users find you through other means. I can't even find them on Meet Me or when I do a search on Facebook! I'm sorry now that I joined (through a friend) Zoosk. :(

I read all the previous postings and I totally agree. It is definitely as close as you can get to be a SCAM. Will not repeat what others said. STAY AWAY.

Going to tell you the same story as anyone else
Bull cr@*
Dont bother paying a cent you will regret it and ignore any positive cr@* they try and sell you in the TOS (terms of service etc) even if it states sometimes you can send messages to people who arent paying members its just a way to make you join with false hope
Farby the worst paysite ever. Most paid dating sites atleast let you contact free members if you yourself have subscribed as a paying member

Funny theres an ad for them on this page right now

Zoosk search function never worked for me when I select ages below 28. If I enter ages 21 to 25, it only shows 28yrs old.If I enter 25 to 35 it only show 28 to 35.
Zoosk has not posted an email for questions, so to find out what the deal is with their faulty search there
Is only a phone # to call.

Zoosk is not a good site at all false advertisement charges more than they say they will and do not have have as many members as they say they have so noone will put up with that. If you do not believe me buy some zoosk coins and some zoosk boosts and buy a membership that adds up to more than they say check your bank statements and then try to read the fake auto replies of people that are not members. If you are a member you will know what i mean when i say false advertisement i was a member and they double charged me the fraud dept. at the bank called me up about zoosk so they have their eyes on this site. By the way if you just want to meet people get a free facebook

I spent all this time filling out the profile and messaging ppl only to find out I have to pay if I want to communicate with anyone. People messaged me back and I can't even view their messages. The membership was supposed to be free! Am I just doing it wrong? I'd give it at least 3 stars if I could actually use the service, but because they provided me with literally zero connections, and wasted hours of my time I unofficially give them zero stars. I give them negative stars if it was possible to give such amounts.
