ASHLEY MADISON Reviews

$75 for 100 credits and messages are anywhere from 5-8 credits to send or receive so you wont be doing much messagings unless you decide to spend $249 for 1000, a lot of profiles dont have pictures or are completely blurred, so you just have to hope you dont end up spending all those credits wasting your time talking with fake profiles, scammers, or some one you end up not being attractive to. Ahh and also it seems like only men accounts are forced to pay for credits to receive or send messages, while female accounts can do all of that for free so thats another big problem and the reason why there a bunch of fake profile accounts. Honestly it would be cheaper and less of a headache to hire a prostitute than to use to this site to have an affair, so that says alot. Majority of the real women profiles on here arent looking for just simple affairs, a lot of them are looking for more of a full blown committed relationship that’ll feel like a 2nd marriage to them they want to be wined and dined, taken on fancy romantic dates have their hand held and be falling in love. The other womens are that are some single and some married or in a relationship on here are looking for sugar daddies which was something I expected from young women but nope, you got older women on here looking for sugar daddies too lmfaooo. Men dont waste your time and money on ASHLEYMADISON its a waste

The fact that you have to pay to make ANY contact at all with anyone renders ASHLEYMADISON absolutely worthless. If I could have given ZERO stars I would. Not to mention the pricing is outrageous. I have a better chance at finding someone pretty much anywhere else than on ASHLEYMADISON. It’s just a scam to get you to pay for bot profiles. They’ll say they’re “monitored by some company”, and that they’re “tirelessly working to make it better for their customers” but in the end it’s a money grab from desperate dudes. Don’t be one of those dudes. There are hundreds of other apps and sites. DONT USE THIS ONE.

UPDATE: they sent me their canned response about who monitors their site and their fake profile policy. Never mentioned the fact that they’re discrimination against males offering women free services and making men pay for the same. So yep. Still not changing my one star review. Because meeting people shouldn’t empty my bank account.

First , I’d like to say that any positive reviews are most likely fake. I’ve signed up on this ap twice, thinking I’d give it a second chance and both times were disappointments. Like moist dating apps, the women can create a profile for free and navigate the site without cost. For this reason, the site is overrun with bogus profiles, single women looking for sugar daddies or straight up prostitutes. For every message sent, it costs 10 credits, by default and is considered a “priority” message, despite numerous attempts and requests to disable the “priority” feature.
I’m not a bad looking guy and I’m in great shape. Out of the 50+ messages I sent out, I received one response. And that was a catfish.
Save your money, find another ap. The price of this one is ridiculous and it can’t really be taken seriously anymore.

Never have I ever been so baffled by an app that I felt the need to leave a review. Ashley Madison is iron clad about not letting you do a single thing without spending money. And I’m not cheap, so that’s not too big of a deal. Except for the fact that the cheapest option is 80 bucks, without so much as a one day trial to see if it’s worth the money, to nobody within a 100 mile radius. On top of it all, it’s extremely hard to delete your profile once you get irritated. You have to do it on the site, not app. But if you don’t delete ASHLEYMADISON , the site will redirect you to it over and over again. Basically ya have a bunch of hustlers putting more time into Nickle and dimming you than they put into giving you value. Shame too cuz it could be great. DO NOT DOWNLOAD.

ASHLEYMADISON is flooded with scammers running the same plays over and over again. There usually giveaway is they connect with off ASHLEYMADISON and start sending you pet pictures. They have words misspelled. They want to meet you right away with no vetting. Then they ask you to download a 3rd party app or ask you to sign up for some kind of dating credentials on a website to ensure their safety when you meet. The apps were “lovehottie” and another asked me to get a “chups pass”. After this review the names of those will likely change quickly to something else. Both apps are full of bogus reviews. And the crazy part is it’s not just the really pretty ones that are trying to scam. It’s the ugly ones too.

Other things I don’t like. ASHLEYMADISON is designed to make you spend your credits. The initial cost of communication is high. I’m sure whoever owns ASHLEYMADISON is making bank. In 4 days I found more fraud then I have in my last 10 years of life. ASHLEYMADISON May have been legitimate at one time but now it’s just trying to rip people off. The developer has obviously taken zero measures to deter scammers from using their app. It’s so flagrant I honestly believe they’re in on it.

Move on to any other dating app. This one is complete garbage. Really wish I could rate 0 stars.

ASHLEYMADISON is a money pit. It averages about $10 per message (thats $10 for every message opened or every message sent). It has deleted my number multiple times in messages so that I am forced to spend another $20 if I want to resend it. It also only sends the first line of my messages which is insane. There are also scam profiles on here (think prince of Nigeria) that try to get your info. You literally can spend hundreds of dollars just by sending 10 one line hello texts. Also, I get emails all the time saying I received messages or pictures, but they are nowhere found on my account. ASHLEYMADISON would have a lot more negative reviews, but obviously people are scared to go public that they use it. They really take advantage of that fact

I wanted to try this platform to see how it works and the cheapest credit was$85 , you can not chat with anyone there unless you buy the minimum $85 credit , once you purchase the credit it alows you start chatting and you will notice there are plenty of fake accounts or scammers that they start messaging you , and Ashley charges you for per message you open or you send .. it mean each message you send to the girl you like Ashley charges about $8 and if you open it charges $6 … and at the end the girl is not real person or same person as her profile. It’s look like Ashly created a lot of accounts by itself which they are not real people that looking for date , and they start charging you base on each conversation.. big time scam, do not try ASHLEYMADISON

I checked back in to AM after a two year hiatus, and it is as fake as before. When I signed in, I immediately had a few views of my profile and several message requests. I favorited a few women, and over the next few days messaged women that interested me. Most did not reply, some responded with lame one liners, and now I’m down most of my message points but with no prospects. Granted, women outnumber men on AM, but I’m at the same point I was a couple of years ago. Checking into my messages, there are several fake profile indicators - I see women with essentially the same name and identical profiles, some responses are worded identically, and generally aimed at getting me to message them and deplete my points ($). AM is still a complete waste of time and money. AVOID

What I hate the most about this app is you have to pay for each message that you send. So you don’t just pay for a subscription and get unlimited messaging. So you have to pay per message which is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of. And considering the fact that it’s mostly bot profiles on ASHLEYMADISON you’re just wasting your money. And to make matters worse ASHLEYMADISON teases you with fake interest from some of these profiles because they “auto-reply” to your message or wink with a generic message that says something like “I only except messages to know if you’re serious” or some stupid thing like that. And it seems just to get you to waste money sending him another message.I think Ashley Madison is the biggest scam going aroundSo I DO NOT recommend ASHLEYMADISON

When you pay $49 just to use it for the first time, you would expect full use of ASHLEYMADISON including holding conversations and communicating with women via messaging. The priority messaging default is just pure larceny. You won’t stay in business long by taking people’s money for no value. I suppose you’re only pursuing the wealthy and upper crust demographic? You’re turning your back on the largest demographic of the middle class. Do the math, you’ll be much more profitable with a more affordable product. Very disappointed as I’m sure that many of your female customers who may have found a great guy are not happy,- they will never meet them because you’re too expensive. Deleting ASHLEYMADISON now.....just like so many others have. Nicely done AM.

I think I am going to start pouring through reviews on all platforms. I’m going to reach out to people who believe they have been scammed by this company.

I would ask that all the evidence and data people have as proof of being scammed, be willingly and confidentially handed over so I can put together a file on this company.

Specifically I am looking for incidents where a person messages you back saying that “they appreciate the wink but to please send a full message and picture to get started”.

To be clear I am going to put together a case to file a lawsuit against Ashley Madison, not false accounts or independent scammers. It is my belief that the company itself has many fake accounts. These fake accounts are designed to draw you in and con as many people as possible into sending messages and photos to fake profiles, in order to use up credits and require real customers to spend more money.

If you are thinking about using ASHLEYMADISON for the first time, I could not tell you to stay away more fervently.

If you already have an account and feel that you have been scammed in the manner I describe above. Or if you feel that you have been scammed by Ashley Madison directly in any other way. Please contact me.

You privacy and discretion is of the upmost importance...obviously.

Thank you.

I am going to write about my experience, I entered this application out of curiosity and also like most of us who enter here, I wanted to have the experience of a affair with someone. The first thing is that the profiles of the supposed girls you don’t known if they are real, the second is that each girl who supposedly writes to you in some way or another you have to pay money and the third when finally a girl writes to me we start talking and Within the whole conversation she tells me to have a Skype chat to have fun, I agreed and after a few seconds that we have been naked, she tells me that she is recording me and that if I do not pay her the amount of money that she asks me, she will spread my video on the internet. This situation has been horrible, you know how I must feel. Boys do not support this social network it is not true as men we have our fantasies but do not fall for this. I warn you that you will regret it

So I got ASHLEYMADISON yesterday and purchased 200 credits. I read a review that you only were charged credits when you sent new messages to new people but continuing conversations were free. Well this is not true you are charged for every single message you send regardless of whether it is a new person or not. This makes it impossible to have sustained conversations and leads to an endless money pit. Within 2 hours I was shocked to see a message come up saying I needed to purchases more credits to view and continue my existing conversations. I could not even look at my old messages or keep chatting with people that I was right in the middle of a conversation with. I spent $110 dollars and got 2 hours worth of time. I probably only sent messages to 10 people and had two sustained conversations going when I got cut off. I want my money back, but I seriously doubt they will do that. Complete scam in my opinion.

All these other reviews where people are saying ASHLEYMADISON is a scam are 100% right. 100 dollars gone in the blink of an eye before having a single real conversation. If you are a robot ASHLEYMADISON is for you . 85 % or more of the replies that you get are “bots”. Their answers are always full of misspelled words and sentences that don’t fit together correctly at all. You absolutely just get a ton of fake auto reply messages when you like or wink at people telling you to send a message ( aka spend as much money as possible) only to get 0 real replies after that . Totally a scam. I honestly thought that this would be the best of the sites for this but I cannot imagine there being a worse one. It’s honestly genius , Make an app that everyone who uses it wants to keep it a secret from everyone they know so that they can’t complain or talk to anyone else about how absolutely awful it is . Wish I thought of it .

There are too many Bots and automatic messages that make you think real people are looking at you. It’s all to entice you to buy credits. Bots will even message you or give you access to their private gallery. When buying credits, they are extremely expensive. They are more expensive to buy through ASHLEYMADISON then it is on their website. Even then, they have hidden deals that are impossible to find and pop up very inconsistently.

100 credits on ASHLEYMADISON is $85 plus Apples fee. I somehow got 100 credits online for $65 from the buy credits option. Then I see an advertisement that gets you 50 credits for $10. That would’ve been nice… I can’t even find the original 100 credit option for $65 and this is all in the same day! I feel horribly ripped off and disgusted.

These apps need to do better. Real people are trying to find love or some form of connection and these people are taking advantage of that and robbing them blind. Be very cautious and careful when using this.

As a new user to this service, and a long time user of many others, I have been truly astounded by the bombardment from scammers. From Dating Safety/Registration scams, to nearly endless attempts to poach customers from your platform (ga-ga-hi must be paying a fortune in their efforts), to the usual money seekers, I was shocked by what seems zero proactive effort on AM’s part, no warnings of common attacks, and few options for users to filter incoming messages. When I found no compatibility indicator, like age range for potentials or other requirement, it occurred to me that the token/credit based model encourages a lot of this. When competitors are providing the same type of service so much better, yet none of the common protective measure for customers of AM, there’s a business reason and the bottom line. I certainly will not be purchasing additional credits, as I’ll never use what I have, so perhaps that’s also part of the model. Extremely disappointing, and quite amazingly is rated highly. Must be good PR and advertising, plus manipulation of the Apple App Store’s numerical rating system, as the written reviews are consistently scathing. Should be removed.

The police have been using ASHLEYMADISON to catch and prosecute prostitution and the people seeking prostitution. ASHLEYMADISON also makes purchases without your knowledge to you credit card if you are a man because they don’t charge women to use the site. This site is designed to take your money and that is it. The people here are wanting perfect and if you are not then good luck. Is it worth it? No.. Not at all. Most of the profiles, if they are not your local police, are fake and computer generated to keep AM “pool of people” looking large when it actually isn’t. This is why you can see the same profile, after years, never change. You can also see the profiles with one picture but the name changes constantly. This is the fake accounts that get caught and AM have to make a new profile with a different name. AM says that they kick off the fake profiles but they don’t. They just rewrite them, with minimal content, and then repost them. The only reason they don’t charge women to use the site is because they don’t have the number of female users as they claim to have and FREE looks good to anyone. There are other apps that do the same thing without all of the scams or arrests.

App is ok, stealth mode is good conceptually. However, it’s pointless if it flashes “Ashley Madison” in huge letters before it checks for Face ID or pin! Defeats the purpose.

Service is scammish at best. Won’t let you set a default preference to send messages only as non-priority, unless you want it to be priority. All messages default to priority so they can charge you extra credits. As other reviewers have said, ongoing conversations are not free and require you to continually pay with credits. Search function is ok. Daily emails have the same 10 profiles repeated every other day. Some profiles also feel like they are AM generated and they email you these ones everyday to try to bait you.

Update: read another review and the message “appreciate the wink, but send me a personal message and photos ...” is definitely a bit! I’ve gotten it 5 times from different profiles since yesterday. Will probably quit ASHLEYMADISON now.

In 2015, Ashley Maddison was hacked and the information of HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of people were leaked online. Email addresses, locations, usernames, passwords, and more. Many of those people killed themselves. Could you imagine your name showing up in an Ashley Maddison database online? No? Well, it actually happened, just 7 years ago. It will happen again. I’m not here to judge your personal choices. I am here to judge your judgement of using this service. If it happened before, it will certainly happen again. Your data and identity are at risk of you use Ashley Maddison’s services. They will get hacked again.

You will be in the next data breach if you are using this service. Your identity will be leaked online. Your involvement will be uncovered. You will be exposed. Ashley Maddison cannot keep your information secure.

You’ve been warned.

Everyone keeps saying just go to Tinder. It’s pretty much a long term dating app now. I’ve had great experiences with meeting women on AM. We’re all there for the same reason and there’s no judgement. I’ve legit had success on here. ASHLEYMADISON does need a kick in the pants. Slow, you have to refresh a few times to show a message has been sent or received. 10 credits for a message, really...? You look at one profile and go back to keep browsing and you have to start at the top again. Anyways, gotta rest up. Hanging out with one tomorrow. She gives me a good work out. ;)

In the first 5 days I have been on this site I have been hit up by 7 different women trying sucker me into getting a HOOKUP ID. Every one of them uses the same script...I mean to the letter. Then there were the 18 or (and constantly growing) that are crazy beautiful and at least 20 years younger. After a short time of conversing they bring up their hard luck stories. Their grammar is poor and it quickly becomes quite evident that English is not their first language.
They also use terms of endearment like Dear, Love etc. This site is rife with these profiles ..I have not actually spoken to one real non scammer yet. Their profiles get put up and taken down so fast it’s like a turnstile of con artists. Feeling very discouraged.

I used ASHLEYMADISON for several years but over the past 3 years have become highly disappointed with it.

First, in order to communicate with others you have to purchase expensive credits that are deducted for just about everything you do.

Second, over the past several years, I am finding the number of fake profiles seems to Ge increasing. Many of these are used to view member profiles and to entice you you communicate with them. This seems to be only if you have a balance of credits to use.

Third, still not happy about when the company was hacked and account info stolen. Every so often I still receive messages from people who purchased the info in attempt to extort money from me.

Anyways, I have had far better success using other apps or just going out to a bar.

If you have money you are itching to waste then by all means give Ashley Madison a try, but they will not get another penny from me!!

Not there are many bots and one seems to respond anymore. Not sure if they’re real ppl anymore but it’s quite easy to waste your money thinking your sending a message to a actual person who is really a fake. Also there are some minors from time to time. That was almost a serious situation with meThis was the worst experience ever. They charge(men only) to send AND receive messages. Also there are many fake profiles or people trying to scam you. The only person I came close to meeting was a 16yr old girl...yes 16!!!!!! Who lied and said she was 18. This site is a no go. Save yourself the time and try something else.

Really! After about $250 and countless hours, nothing has come from this site! Literally nothing. Women can join for free, so to me it seems like a cat fishing scheme. Sure, you will get a response, but how many times do you get cancelled on before you give up on someone. I would give zero stars if I could.

Don’t fall for the bait emails, they are not true, they are generated automatically to keep you hooked. Don’t fall for the blurred out messages....they are fake too!

SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!!! I wish I would have read all the reviews and believed them. But I thought, nah, I am an attractive guy, in shape, have a lot going on for myself.....ha!!! Boy was I mistaken!!!

I’m gonna make this short and sweet. Ashley Madison was never able to fully recover from their cyber attack email list exposure. As a result, many of the profiles are abandoned / haven’t been used in years. AM keeps these profiles and makes them relevant new in the search results list. AM uses messaging bots to automatically send priority messages to your inbox to encourage you to purchase credits to open them, even though the messages are fake, or from abandoned accounts. I payed $80 for 100 credits to send 5 messages. You never know how many credits you have, or how much it costs to send a message. ASHLEYMADISON is a complete rip-off and should be removed. I would rate 0 stars if I could.

Sooo... after spending 30 mins filling out what I was lead to believe was anonymous, and the verification email being under some strange name (and in my spam folder) I was unable to both login AND recover my account because there's no email to contact for support. This is quite a poor app and it's a good thing I didnt show or give anything away info...
Honestly, between not providing an email for support & locking me out of my account, bc I couldn't login to my email at the moment, my account was booted off ASHLEYMADISON COMPLETELY, I was signed out and brought to the login page. After I tried logging in and to no avail, after not getting into my email qui k enough to their liking, I'm just out of ASHLEYMADISON . Just don't even bother. It's sketchy all around.

I’m a single man who tried out ASHLEYMADISON for free to meet single ladies. Apparently you are only able to view people’s profiles, but to message them, or even read messages you have been sent requires “a token” - money. Like an idiot, I purchased the minimal amount of tokens to try it out. Now I was able to read messages I was sent and send messages to woman who appeared to be interested. Majority of the messages I was sent was from woman all over the world, not near me and I wasn’t even interested in that. I deleted all messages from woman far away and tried to just keep my contact with local ladies. After deleting these messages, they would reappear in my messages as if new. Delete again. Reappear, so on. I would not recommend and found to be a total scam.

So I have been on ASHLEYMADISON for 2 weeks and the fee in order to pay for this is not worth anything. What I mean by that is there are more scammers than real people here. 5 times I’ve encountered the same person with 5 different profiles trying to get me to give up my credit card. I’d never fall for that. What kills me is the accents they have trying to sound “Americanized”. It’s pathetic. Also, this one girl decided to take explicit photos of me and is extorting me and threatening to share it with my friends and family. Even better, she started naming people I knew. Little does she know that I don’t care who see them. ASHLEYMADISON is completely useless and bottom line...DO NOT TRY IT, DONT ATTEMPT TO DOWNLOAD IT!!! STAY AWAY FROM ASHLEYMADISON! IT ONLY BRINGS MISFORTUNE AND TROUBLE!!! I promise you! Kid you NOT!

I’ll make this short and sweet. To all the unsuspecting guys out there thinking they’re are going to meet someone one here...think again. ASHLEYMADISON is full of fake profiles who will make it seem like they are interacting with you. They are baiting you to buy the site’s ridiculously high membership. DO NOT TAKE THE BAIT!!! I did in the beginning. I’d get what seemed to be other married women interested. They’d unlock their pictures and I’d go for it. I bought their $9.99 package (thank goodness it wasn’t the upper tier membership) and would send them contact information to get a hold of me outside of the website/app. To my dismay the entire profile of the woman I contacted would be deleted. That’s only one example of several. Bottom line, if I could rate negative stars I’d totally do it. Hell, I’d demand a refund if I could! Do yourself a favor and pass ASHLEYMADISON up! You will be wasting your hard earned money!!

It’s a shame because the concept of a place where married people can meet without guilt is a brilliant idea. And they would make money hand over foot if they just make it a real dating site instead of a scam. There are so many fafe profiles on here it will make your head spin. In fact I think the majority are fake. And the whole business model of making men pay for every new email is so bad. Especially cause most of your emails are sent to fake profiles. I wish there was a married version of OKCupid. Where they let pepole communicate for free, but they become gigantic.
Oh well. No one ever said foolin around is easy.

I have used AMs service in two different states. I just wanted a good man who was in the same situation as me. I did find amazing respectful handsome men both times. Let me tell you though it takes some work and persistence. Men lie a lot and play games same as some women. I have found if you keep trying eventually you will find that ONE that wants the same things you do. My previous relationship was three years long and we have remained friends. We moved out of state. Found my new guy and we have been together a year. Thank you AM.

I too sent out somewhere in the ballpark of 25+ messages... I too only got one response... but, we’re still together after a year and a half. We’re completely in love and are completely dedicated to one another.... I found my dream woman here... She’s beautiful, funny, out going, confident, sweet, caring and a great lover! We keep asking each other after all this time “how did this happen?”. Unbelievable!
