Overview

This review is on a dating site called LocalHookup.com. For this investigation we signed up as free members of the dating service to see exactly how the site operates. Our investigation including all the evidence is available below for you to read in detail.

Age Verification That Leads To Porno Charges

After we created a free membership we were sent to a secondary page where we were asked for a credit card for age verification to activate our free account on the site. Under no circumstances should you give a site your credit card to prove your age. This is always a scam to get your credit card information so they can start billing it. Unfortunately there are many gullible people that will fall for this con. They are more than happy to give there credit card information to activate their free account. Unfortunately those people end up getting charged $118.43 per month until they cancel the recurring monthly charges. The charges to your credit card include a dating site ($49.95 month) as well as 2 adult porno sites ($39.61 and $28.87). You can see the evidence below and the charges that will appear on your credit card statement. Do not give these crooks your credit card information or you will be very sorry.

Most Women Are Fake

Did You Receive Any Chat Messages?

This site uses of a bunch of different tactics to deceive people into upgrading to a paid subscription. The most popular method to deceive people is the fake chat messages that pop up on your screen when you are logged into the members area of this site. Time and time again when we were logged into the members doing our research we were met with chat messages (see evidence below) from attractive looking local girls. But after investigating every single profile we found that all the profiles had the "LS" logo on it signifying that the particular profile sending us chat messages was created by the dating site. If you try to reply back to the chat messages you are requested to upgrade your membership to communicate with other members. These messages are completely automated, no one is sending us instant messages. What's really going on is that computer software programs are being used to make it appear as if we are being contacted by real girls. The scam is that they want you to try to communicate back to the fake girls so then you need to upgrade in order to do so. They want to make money off of your ignorance.
