Report for AustralianFlings.com review
AustralianFlings.com claims to be the best way to find online flings, without having to worry about subscriptions. In addition to that, the registration is free of charge. While it is true that there are no subscriptions on AustralianFlings.com, you can still lose a lot of money on this dating website. AustralianFlings.com is operated by Gate Switch Development BV. This company is situated in Deventer, in Holland.
At first, nothing seems to be wrong here. However, during our research, we find out that AustralianFlings.com is a moderated service. This means that the operator makes use of fictitious profiles. Fake chat operators are the people handling these profiles. They interact with the users in the chat, where you pay for every sent message. AustralianFlings.com is another fake chat scam. This is not our first experience with this Dutch operator.

Details on the AustralianFlings.com review
The landing page of AustralianFlings.com looks well-designed. Here we are also told that over 3 million members have registered so far. A very promising high number. The landing page seems quite familiar to us. In fact, the landing page of the dating website MatchAndTease.com looks precisely the same. In an older review, we revealed that the latter one is nothing but a rip-off. We do not have high hopes for AustralianFlings.com either. It turns out that the landing page is not the only thing both websites have in common. AustralianFlings.com, just as MatchAndTease.com, is nothing but a fake chat scam.
Before we signed up, we decided to do some research about this dating website online. We fail to find enough reviews for AustralianFlings.com. Considering the dating website claims to have millions of members, this seems very suspicious. Later we find a statement in the terms and conditions, which explains the misleading number of members.
Excerpt from the Terms & Conditions (as of 19/05/2021)
5.3. Gate Switch Development B.V. explicitly reserves the right to send messages on australianflings.com through self-created profiles. These are fictitious profiles with which no physical agreements are possible.
Non-existing members
“Self-created profiles” are nothing but fake profiles, which portray non-existing members. These profiles serve as a cover for the fake chat operators working for the company. The real users are not supposed to find out about their existence. The information about the fake profiles is deliberately well-hidden. The users will encounter the fake chat operators in the chat, not knowing who they truly are. It is the fake chat operators’ task to seduce the users in the chat, by enticing them to send many messages.
We are not surprised to see who is in charge here
Getting in touch with other members on AustralianFlings.com is not free. As a user, you must purchase virtual “credits” in the shop and redeem them to send a message. Each message sent in the chat costs up to 2.6 AUD. Therefore, chatting on AustralianFlings.com can become extremely expensive. Gate Switch Development BV is known for this kind of rip-off. The company, based in the Dutch town of Deventer, runs a few scam sites, where fake chat operators try to make the users lose all their money in the expensive chat.
The conclusion from our AustralianFlings.com review
Although we know the operator of this dating website, we gave AustralianFlings.com a fair chance. We were not surprised to find out that this place is full of moderated fake profiles. The real users are supposed to believe that they stand a chance with an attractive member. If they fall for this trick, they can be manipulated more easily.
Updates
16.01.2024
Since our last review, AustralianFlings.com has not made any meaningful or noticeable changes to its platform. Gate Switch Development BV, a Dutch-based operator, still runs this fake chat scam using fictitious profiles to rip off users. However, the company has moved its headquarters from Deventer to Groot-Ammers. The operator insists they reserve the right to send users messages using these fictional profiles for entertainment.
All the fictive profiles are marked by a heart icon. Also, the platform has not changed its pricing formula. Users are still charged at the exorbitant rate of $2 per message to chat with automated profiles.
