MANY Fake / Bait and Scam Profiles Mixed With the Genuine Ones

While it is possible to find and meet genuine people on this and other dating sites, there are definitely an incredible amount of fake messages delivered to men's inboxes, especially immediately after signing up (but before paying), and especially even more during the times you are logged in to the site. Therefore, I can only conclude that the false profiles that send a bunch of messages with identical phrases or often times asking identical questions must be created by professionals at Cupid Media to fool gullible people (or, at least gullible men, as I do not know how the site works for women) into believing a lot of women are interested in and messaging them.Within ONE week, men can receive nearly to over 100 messages (with multiple messages saying the exact same things, verbatim). Meanwhile, there are very little to no profile views. It is obvious that these messages are fake, or at least not from legitimate profiles.Every time you receive a message you should also get a notification sent to the email you used to sign up for the dating site. Clicking link in that email takes you to the message in site, which is (mostly) blocked out if you are not a paid member, stating that you must have paid subscription to read them.If you do pay, you will realize that the messages are fake. They are most likely from a profile used by the Cupid company for sending a bunch of messages and tricking men into paying to read them. Some, however, are scammers from various places.I have actually met good women on this and another site. Both turned in to relationships. However, I have personally come across many scams as well. Cupid Media argues that they fight and remove scammers, yet nothing has changed over the past few years. I had a free trial nearly two years ago and I was able to open and see that the 80+ messages I got within the first week were all fake. I have also recently signed up for a paid subscription on a few of their sites and noticed the avalanche of fake messages begin to slow down to a trickle within a few days of paying. A good amount of the profiles that send the fake messages also end up being "switched off" before you can reply once you pay. However, you don't need to pay or get a free trial to see that most, if not all, messages you initially recieve at first are fake. You just need experience, common sense and the ability to notice that the first few words you can see before it is blocked out (messages will be mostly blocked out if you are not a paid member) almost all say the exact same things; The first message is identical to the third, fifth or sixth message, the second message is identical to seventh or tenth message, etc. It doesn't matter the language or location. One good thing about Cupid Media's sites is that it is relatively easy to know which messages / profiles are fake or bait profile bots - IF you know what clues to look for! If you see people you never messaged leaving messages while your profile has no views or interest notifications, or you receive a bunch of messages about how great you / your profile / your pictures are without creating a bio or posting pictures, or you receive positive messages after putting something derogatory in your profile bio, then you know it is not a real person messaging you.However, if you see someone viewed your profile and left an indicator of interest - then messaged you, it might be someone who is genuinely interested. So, let them know you want to video chat so you can see that they are a real person.Use the site at your own discretion, but do not be foolish enough to believe all those messages you receive within the first few hours or days before paying are all real women that are interested in you - without them viewing your profile, or before you even complete your profile!Also, don't be fooled by any follow up claim saying this isn't true, or any follow up comment that is off topic to my review that indicates that everything is genuine and safe with Cupid Media. They (as most datimg sites) are running some shady techniques to trick you in to paying. Problem is, the only REAL chance for successfully meeting a woman is by being a paid member. If you want to possibly meet and date people, and you are aware of your odds (especially as a man) of being successful, then go ahead. But if you're one to easily be fooled and believe everything you see and think all messages and interactions are real, don't waste your time or money.PS: If you want to see for yourself how accurate my review is, sign up and see what happens for yourself at International Cupid and other sites of theirs. An experienced person who can detect the difference between real and fake profiles does have a chance of meeting a real person.
