xPickUp.com review

Online hook up portals have become immensely popular in recent years, and many people are looking for an easy way to find fast sex dates in their neighbourhood. We aren’t sure this portal will be the right choice at all. No information is given about additional costs after the free registration, no details at all.

After an easy sign up, the new member needs to give a few personal information and will be redirected to the main member’s area. The design is old-fashioned, but the interface is easy to use. On the left side the users see updates, messages and matches. On the right side, which members are currently online and the latest profiles. At the top of the page is the search function and additional services like live cams and sexy games. Annoying are the big pop-ups of new messages, which are coming almost every minute.

Using paid moderators to charm and animate

The operator is managing a big network of online dating sites and has been scamming people for years already. The first thing we need to mention is their moderated chat. They are using paid moderators to charm and animate their members and try to convince them to upgrade their account. We can already find evidence for a moderated chat and the use of computer-generated profiles on the landing page.

The misleading information, like 100% free, is another part of the scam. The enrolment is free, but if you want to read and reply to emails, messages and texts, you need to purchase in a costly way premium membership. To convince the new members even faster, the operator, the Extra Dimensions LTD, from Cyprus, is sending automated messages, and the naïve user isn’t aware of it.

Excerpt from the Terms & Conditions (as of 01/09/2023)

I also agree to receive email newsletters, account updates, special offers and communications from computer generated virtual profiles, targeted to my interests, sent by SexEncounters.com or SEcupid.com, and agree to allow my personal data to be shared with third parties.

You may interact with content generated by, or with the assistance of, automated online accounts (“Bots” or “Automated Profiles”), where none – or substantially none – of the actions and posts of that Automated Profile are the result of or arise in connection with, a natural person’s profile or otherwise User Content.

Another proof that there are tons of faked profiles in the members’ pool is the fact that they are using stolen and professional profile pictures. We did a reverse photo search, and the result was shocking. We pity all the people who were scammed on xPickUp.com, and there are many of them, and you can see all the reviews and comments on the internet. Many are looking for legal advice to escape the cheeky subscription traps.
