LookingForFreeSex.com.au review

Apparently, the dating site LookingForFreeSex.com.au has nothing that isn’t worth registering for. Users can start flirting to easily find someone to have fun with without complications. However, after scrolling down the page, we noticed a disclaimer at the bottom and in very small print. This is something the user should read to avoid a bad experience. What was reported in the disclaimer was that the free registration allows users to access the main features, but there’s also the possibility of paying a subscription to increase one’s entertainment. In the end, their written statement from the landing page wasn’t so true.

In fact, while writing this review we discovered that by registering on this specific website, the user’s profile will appear on a series of other web dating pages belonging to the operator’s network. After viewing the Terms & Conditions, the scam divulged itself out in the open. Here we found the reference to the premium subscription accompanied by the usual trap of automatic renewal. The site makes use of a mandatory time parameter in which the request must be forwarded to customer service to be evaluated, i.e. within 24 hours of the expiry date of the subscription plan.

Excerpt from the Terms & Conditions (as of 31/08/2023)

All subscription fees and other fees are all inclusive and include any VAT in the price. 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[…].

[…] A signed written notice of such cancellation (which includes your username and the email address used to register for the Services) must be sent by certified mail or personally delivered to our mailbox[…].

Cancellation of Paid Subscription […] You must cancel your subscription at least twenty-four (24) hours before your monthly anniversary date to avoid being charged for another month of subscription fees[…].

How these types of operators make money

It is easy to understand the mechanism that turns the gears of this site which is managed by the operator Infinite Connections LTD. They are situated in Greater London, UK. The company is known for the subscription rip-offs on its dating sites. They hope that users will not go read the Terms & Conditions, or the disclaimers on the landing page. This way, the money from the automatic renewal will enrich this company. Therefore, beware of this type of scam.

In addition, the cancellation process is difficult to accomplish. Users are required to fill in a form to be sent to customer service by certified email. Obviously, it is also difficult to find the email that is used for contacting the support team. We wondered if it was real or not. The bad reputation of the company gave us reasons to believe cancellation will not be easily done. If you don’t prefer emails, there is another form of contact. A telephone number is provided, but customer service will only speak in English, Spanish, or Portuguese.
