Report for KoreanSingles.com.au review

At first sight, the online dating platform KoreanSingles.com.au looks like a good choice for Korean singles, who are looking for love. The landing page shows a happy Korean couple and promises to find your Korean queen or king. They also mention that all their singles are based in Australia. You only must sign up for free, to start browsing, and meet people.

The website is managed by FBM Online Connections LTD, from Greater London, in the UK. We have already written some reviews about this operator and, unfortunately, this site is a subscription rip-off. In the last step of completing the registration, they already offer you three subscription options. A 5-Day Trial membership, and a 1 Month, or 3 Months membership. As per our experience, scam dating sites mostly offer trial memberships.

Details on the KoreanSingles.com.au review

The site KoreanSingles.com.au shows a happy Korean couple on the landing page and looks promising for finding a single Korean person in Australia. The operator FBM Online Connections LTD from Greater London, in the UK, tries to make it convenient for a possible new member. They say that all the singles are based in Australia. There will not be any contact from someone who is living on the other side of the planet. So far, so good.

As always, we did our research and looked for other reviews about this site. Unfortunately, there is no review, or experience, to find out about KoreanSingles.com.au. However, we still started with the registration process. During registration, we saw some apparently real profiles and according to the Terms and Conditions, the company does not use fake profiles.

Subscription and auto-renewal

One fact that is very suspicious is that, during the last step of the registration process, they almost force you to choose a membership subscription. You can choose between three memberships. The only free one is the 5-Day trial option. This will be automatically renewed if you do not cancel it, at least 24 hours before its expiration. It is the same cancellation period for the 1-month or 3-month subscription. At this point, it was clear how the subscription rip-off was working.

Theoretically, you can still cancel your subscription during your trial membership, which is not always the case, as we know from other providers. But it will still turn into a bad experience. In the Terms and Conditions, we read that we must request the cancellation of the automatic renewal with customer support, through our profile settings. This is a devious way to rip us off, as we are dependent on their actions to cancel the membership. So, in the end, 24 hours might not work out for us to cancel our trial membership.

Excerpt from the Terms & Conditions (as of 25/09/2023)

Please note that WE USE AN AUTOMATIC RE-BILL CYCLE ACCORDING TO YOUR SELECTED PAYMENT OPTION. When you purchase a one-month or shorter subscription to the Site, unless you cancel such membership at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to its expiration, your subscription will automatically renew at the then current monthly subscription rate. If you purchase a three month or longer subscription to the Site, unless you cancel such membership at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to its expiration, your subscription will automatically renew.

Using your profile on other sites

Another point that you can find in the Terms and Conditions is that any image or video that you upload becomes the property of the company. It can be used as marketing material and for other associated websites which feature other members. So, we clearly realized that many profiles might be unreal. Therefore, this site is clearly a scam.

The conclusion from our KoreanSingles.com.au review

What looked promising at first sight on KoreanSingles.com.au, unfortunately turned into a subscription trap. The user is attracted to the trial membership which easily turns into a paid subscription, the user does not pay attention to the cancellation policy. Negative experiences with this operator underline their untrustworthy dating sites. Additionally, we cannot confirm if the profiles are real or not. But what we know is that they can be used by this company on other sites.
