LocalSexyDates.com review

The members’ area for LocalSexyDates.com features profiles of people who appear to be seeking a fast hook-up. Apparently, if we believe the promises on the landing page, members can freely converse and view profiles at no cost once they sign up. While features like sending messages are free, the platform also offers some paid services. However, users are not informed of the packages they can purchase. Users are kept in the dark about the specifics of these packages.

After new users register, they are bombarded with messages, sometimes even before uploading a new profile photo. This unwanted attention came as no surprise to us since we knew that this was the operator’s MO. It looks like the work of chatbots, which is what Internet Services employs. They admitted to the use of automated profiles, which means fake profiles. The site employs chat moderators and chatbots to engage users in online conversation. Other than that, we also found other concerns such as the following:

Adverse policies

This platform may be extremely rigid with its no-refund policy and additional convenience fees for failed recurring transactions. If a user selects a payment method like a debit card and transactions are unsuccessful, the company is entitled to charge the user a $3 convenience fee. Users would need help to request a refund, but only a court order or a decision from the operator of the website can authorize refunds. Such actions may engender resentment and anxiety about purchasing website bundles.

Fake profiles and chatbots

This operator has hired individuals and chatbots to operate fictitious profiles and engage users through a fake chat service. As a result, users will most likely be chatting with these fake users, which is part of the scam. According to the operator, these fictitious profiles aim to amuse visitors and enhance their online experience.

Users must be aware of the number of genuine profiles available for matching, or they may fall victim to a scam. From what we can tell, this is not a promising website for someone searching for a quick hook. It is a rip-off when people pay for services to communicate with bots.
