Ashley Madison a full of Scammers Scheme - Don't use
Ashley Madison has been a deeply disappointing and concerning experience for me. I lost nearly $500 due to the overwhelming presence of fake profiles. After spending time on the platform, I identified patterns that strongly suggested the profiles were fabricated—many seemed scripted, with unrealistic behavior. When I reported this to the platform, instead of investigating my concerns, they unfairly banned my account without refunding the credits I had purchased. This website also has paid ratings on other website due to which people are tricked to believe that it's a genuine website.
Adding to the disappointment, the infamous 2015 data breach confirmed that the platform is filled with fake profiles, with only a rare and questionable presence of genuine users. Shockingly, I also encountered fake profiles that shared WhatsApp numbers, only to later attempt to lure me into fraudulent stock and cryptocurrency schemes. This appears to be orchestrated by backend staff, reportedly from an Asian country, who exploit users under the guise of authenticity.
Despite its promises, Ashley Madison fails to deliver any genuine connections. Instead, it seems designed to exploit users financially while exposing them to potential scams. I strongly advise against using this platform—it is a waste of time, money, and trust. Avoid it at all costs.
Paying a lot to read messages generated by the site itself.
The site sends you fake messages and then charges you to read and respond to them. I signed up to check it out and within a few days I got some messages from a few "ladies". You need to buy credits to read them so decided to take the chance even though it already looked shady. Anyway, bought some crazy expensive credits to read the messages and reply. 50,- for 100 credits plus a welcome bonus of 100 extra credits. Next to the mandatory "one time mobile access fee" of 20,- so you can read the messages on your phone. Really, in 2024? Moving on. So first of all you pay credits to READ the messages and then also to RESPOND to them! Sending a photo, more credits. Within half an hour half of my credits were gone. And turns out almost all messages were generated by the site itself! Along the lines of "send x a message to see if she is interested". One person who sent a normal looking response has been silent for a while and I am pretty sure she will pop up when I don't have any credits anymore to trick me into buying more! There is no overview to see how much credits everything costs so it's a mystery to know how much bang for your buck you are getting. Only afterwards can you see how quickly you consume credits. Reading a "collect" message (that the site itself generated) 8 credits. Sending photo access, 5 credits. Sending a message, another 8 credits. Crazy expensive and only fake profiles. So in all honesty, the site is absolute crap! Stay away at all cost and don't get tempted!
Complete ripoff
Enjoy opening 3 emails and talking to two girls… just to find out they are bots or hookers… This site is a complete joke. Full of bots and escorts, and they do nothing about it.
Credits are stupid expensive… like 10x more than they are worth, and these people don't even care… Go anywhere else, this place is for suckers…
Very disappointing dating site
Site is full of scammers! A lot of contacts were far out of town. Made contact with one, Millerz1, who claimed to be from Montreal, then claimed "she" was a wine merchant based in Los Angeles! Turned out to be a bitcoin fraudster. Exercise great caution using this site.

Waste of Time and Money
I've been using Ashley Madison (AM) for about three weeks now. I live in a moderate sized city and I'm a man seeking a woman. Below are the statistics of efforts.
- Sent messages to 58 different women who live in my area.
- Got replies from four. One of the women initiated contact with me. No responses from the other 54.
- Of the four, one I'm fairly certain was a bot. Got a single rather generically worded response and no other responses.
- One I believe was a scammer so I broke contact with her.
- One seemed legit but we weren't able to advance things very far.
- The one who initiated contact was quite nice but we weren't able to advance things as much as I would have liked. This obviously isn't the fault of AM.
The short version: not a very good success rate. Considering each message costs credits this is an exceptionally expensive way to meet women and odds are you won't actually meet one in person.
The vast majority of the woman profiles appear to either be defunct or are likely fake profiles designed to make the number of women in your area seem higher than it actually is. And to of course cost you expensive credits to message them. Most profiles have no pics and only a minimal amount of information.
I was curious and made a fake woman profile with information similar to my legitimate profile. Same age, interests, and location. Perhaps unsurprisingly, there seem to be many more male profiles than there are female profiles. Furthermore, the vast majority of the male profiles look to be legitimate. They have lots of information including complete bios and photographs. They also seem to be more active. I'm estimating that there are perhaps at least 5 men to every 1 woman. The actual ratio is perhaps much higher than this when factoring in the fake and inactive female profiles. The odds are very much staked against the male users.
Based on my experience I am highly suspicious of AM's claims that it has more female users than male users. When reading other reviews on AM other male users have reported experiences very similar my own.
My advice: if you are a man seeking a woman stay away from AM. There may be a slim chance that you will meet a lady. But ladies seem to be very few and far between here. Your competition will be stiff. And AM will fleece your credit card dearly. If you are a lady, I suspect you will have many options and AM won't cost you a thing.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME, MONEY OR ENERGY!
Absolutely horrible site. Very costly for men to use. Many many many fake profiles. And just as many scammers! I'm single and thought I'd try it. Nothing but scammers/extortion tactics. Do not sign up for membership. A total scam through and through. I wish I could leave ZERO stars.
6 months and absolutely nothing. Addition to Tim F.

Fake profiles and fake emails to get you to keep hanging on. They'll send you emails saying she's interested but they don't respond or look at my pictures for so many tokens and the pictures are the same as her profile pictures. No one responds unless they're trying to sell you something. I could have gotten a good hooker for the money I wasted on this site.

I have been on Ashley Madison since October 2019.
Tim F.'s review is 100%.
Received a reply to a message. Then, after a couple messages back and forth. She admitted that she never sent the initial replay!
I've heard every excuse possible. Trying to use up credits and/or send funds all over the world.
Take your chances!

Don't Bother, Major Scam, 99.9% Fake Women's Profiles and Scammers
This site has become nothing but AI bot made fake profiles. They are easy to spot if you know what to look for, Guys don't waste your money chatting with a computer! They often include pics of gorgeous woman that would have no reason to be on AM.
Stay Away
I entered the site once and I made the mistake to enter twice. My geo location is Europe. Scam #1. The fee to buy credits so you can send message is fake. When you enter the pay page the fee is augmented with a hidden Mobile Activation fee (19.99€). Scam#2. Almost 99% of the profiles are fake and I received (intentionally) messages from non-existing persons. Scam#3. Anytime I send a reply message to a what appeared as person and added my email, I was charged by losing credits but the mail was never delivered. These are my real life experience so I prevented others of not entering in this site at all.
6 months and absolutely nothing.
