AustralianLocal.com review

edmv BV is a Dutch online dating provider registered Ter Aar. According to our reviews, they have become experts at crafting shady dating websites that feature a fake chat service. This website is identical to many other rip-offs created by Edmv BV in the past. There has been an increase in their activity recently, targeting different niches in the online dating market. However, at the end of the day, all their scams are just the same.

Noisy notifications

It quickly became apparent that none of the profiles in the members’ area were real. Therefore, there was no way any users could end up hooking up with someone from this site, which is what most visitors of this website would be drawn to. In addition to that, we were immediately bombarded with countless messages. The notification sound was on default, which was annoying. Even though our profile was completely empty, we seemed to be irresistible to the so-called ‘users’ of this website. Furthermore, they have very basic accounts with just a couple of cold details and some spicy photos.

It goes hand in hand with the warnings detailed in the Terms and Conditions. There, it clearly explained the use of a fake chat service. However, we know from experience that such legal disclaimers tend to be ignored by almost everyone.

Excerpt from the Terms & Conditions (as of 30/11/2023)

AustralianLocal.com offers a chat service with the aim of flirting with fictitious profiles, whereby flirting is understood to mean the exchange of erotic chat messages for a fee of a certain amount per chat message. AustralianLocal.com works with fictitious profiles and is not intended for establishing physical appointments.

User grants emdv BV a license (permission) to use the intellectual property rights in the content provided by provided to the User. In particular, this license includes the right of Emdv BV to duplicate, display, modify, translate, scan, use for publicity purposes, whether commercial or non-commercial, sublicense or transfer any content related to Profiles (information, photos, video footage, descriptions, search criteria, etc.)

Expensive packages

Credits are used to pay for sending messages on AustralianLocal.com. Users are given credits just for signing up to get the conversation started with some sexy chat partner. However, this welcome gift only allows users to send up to one message. After that, users need to pay to continue flirting. The profiles are pretty cheeky. This is part of the setup to get users hooked on the conversation.

The chat requires that users buy a package, where the messages are quite pricey. If users buy a bigger package, the price per message becomes a little cheaper, but not by much. It is still an awesome deal for the operator, but not so much for the customers. We also run the risk of seeing our content spread across Emdv’s network without our consent.
