CountryDatingAustralia.com review

CountryDatingAustralia.com is a dating site for Australian singles in the country scene. The site is operated by Online Connections Limited from Florida, however, the international office is based in London and owned by FBM Online Connections LTD. Signing up may be free for every adult, but using the chat necessitates a paid subscription. Furthermore, the cheaper trial membership is a trap.

CountryDatingAustralia.com is unknown on the web, which does not say much for the activity of this dating site. Before you can even try out the messaging function to see if it is worth it, you are required to purchase a paid membership. The trial membership appears to be a decent option, but it quickly extends into a regular paid subscription. On top of that, the operator wants you to purchase another trial membership on a completely different site. From our experience, we know that scam dating sites often rely on trial memberships.

The landing page of CountryDatingAustralia.com looks a little too old-fashioned. There is a photo of a horse and a couple wearing cowboy hats. Obviously, the operator wants to show us that this dating site was made for people living in the rural areas of Australia. In fact, the operator does not care about where the users are from and what they truly desire, so long as they sign up for the cheeky trial membership.

Are the other profiles legit

Before signing up, we try to find any other reviews about this site. As it turns out, nobody is talking about CountryDatingAustralia.com. However, several users have still signed up. Their profiles look real, and we cannot find any proof for the existence of fake profiles. Although we can see who else has registered, we cannot contact any of the other members. Every time we click on one of the other profiles, we are brought to the shop. Apparently, we need a paid subscription if we wish to communicate with others using the chat.

It all starts with a cheap trial

The cheapest option is a trial membership that lasts 5 days and only costs about 6 AUD. The other memberships cost more and last longer. If you pay attention to what is written in the fine print, you can find out that the short trial membership can turn into the most expensive subscription on the site. You must cancel the cheap trial membership within 5 days, otherwise it turns into an expensive subscription of around 50 AUD per month.

As if one trial membership is not enough, the operator also wants you to buy one for CowboyChatCity.com. This one is even shorter and becomes more expensive. By using seemingly innocent trial memberships, FBM Online Connections LTD tries to get the users’ money. Therefore, we consider CountryDatingAustralia.com to be a rip-off. In fact, the operator from London in the United Kingdom runs several similar scam dating sites.

We cannot say for sure if all the other profiles on CountryDatingAustralia.com are legit. On the other hand, the trial membership is a subscription trap. Since the trial is very cheap, it does not seem too risky to sign up for it. If you do not pay attention to what is written in the fine print, you can easily end up paying much more money. This is all part of the plan and the reason why this site is a rip-off.
