Never mind the fake reviews that have been submitted by the so called "satisfied users" of this website. Those reviews are not real.

The website is filled with fake accounts, and you will only receive spam messages from "women" with fake profile pictures stolen from the internet. They mix pictures of models, with pictures of regular women naked to make it seem like the profiles are legit, but they are not.

The so called "women" of the website send you messages that are clearly massively spammed out. Some will try to redirect you out of the website, others will ask for your e-mail or skype and say that they don't have a microphone so they can't talk. Then if you suggest that they are fake they immediately leave.

There are dating websites out there that are free, where you don't have to buy a membership to message members. And on this website you literally can't do anything without buying a gold membership. You can't send messages and you can't read messages. When you do get a membership ( if you are stupid enough like me) you will quickly find out that all those "women" who messaged you as soon as you registered are nothing but spam bots. They will not reply back to you, and will only send "winks" or "cards" without actually saying anything or attempting to chat with you. The ones that do attempt to chat with you are fake users, who will most likely try to scam you on skype or gmail.

Also to cancel your gold membership you have to do it 14 days in advance before your next payment is due, otherwise they will keep automatically charging your card, which of course they neglect to mention when you first sign up. I had to fill up a form and submit it via e-mail asking for my membership to be cancelled, and even now I'm not sure that I won't get charged for a second month. I might even have to cancel my card.

All the "satisfied males" that posted a review aren't real, and while I'm sure that if you're a woman there will be plently of males on the website (just like in any other website), most guys who sign up for this website are only looking to get laid, since that's the message the website sells. It's not about dating, making new friends, or meeting interesting people, it's all about sex. So why would you want to meet men like that anyway?

Bottom line is "DON'T JOIN THIS WEBSITE!" and whatever you do "DON'T PAY FOR A MEMBERSHIP!" You might think it won't happen to you, but it will. It doesn't matter what you look like, good looking or not, if you are a man you will get scammed and suckered if you buy a membership from this website.

Tip for consumers:
Don't join a website where you have to pay to do something as simple as reading a message.

Dear costa b,

Thank you for your valued feedback. It is very rare for us to receive a complaint about our service and we felt it only fair to reply personally, in order to assure you that your points will not be ignored and shall each be addressed by our team.
We were very disappointed to read the negative aspects of your review. Please allow me to apologize for your experience on HookupHangout.com.
I can assure you that we do not condone the creation of fake profiles on our site. We work tirelessly to prevent any non-genuine profiles being created by visitors to our site. As I’m sure you are aware, this is something that each and every dating company must fight on a daily basis and is therefore very much an industry problem rather than one that is unique to HookupHangout. I can say with confidence that we stay ahead of the curve on anti-scamming technology and work hard to combat this issue, through the use of technology and manual profile moderation. Ultimately, customers on any dating site will, at times, have to use common sense - it’s clear in your case that you were able to easily distinguish between the many genuine female users on our site and those few that that you encountered that you feel may not have been genuine. Consequently, I’m sure you agree that you were in no danger of being mislead and hopefully you reported any suspicious activity to our team.
With regard to the fact that you received some communication, but not as many written replies as you were hoping for, please may I suggest that you read some of our advice articles on how to approach your conversations with people on the site. Our engagement statistics are encouragingly high and prove that two-way conversations (including web cam sessions) are very common on the site. Take your time to compose interesting messages and we’re sure your number of replies will grow!
Once again, apologies for the negative aspects of your experience. We do hope you will give us another chance and firmly believe that the points you mentioned are challenges for the industry as a while and not unique to our site. Good luck!

Best wishes,
The Hookup Hangout Team
