Overview
BlackWink.com is supposedly a dating site to bring black people together. But, is it a real dating site or does it just look like a dating site? We answer these questions and much more in our extensive investigation into the operations of this website. The first thing you need to know is this website is connected to other sites such as FlirtyDesires.com, QuickFlirt.com and VictoriaBrides.com. Read the full review below.
Fictional Emails From Make-Believe Profiles
When you have the experience that we do with online dating services you can easily and quickly identify when something is not right. From the get-go on BlackWink.com we knew things weren't on the up-and-up. We received in less than a 24 hour 12 email messages from all types of different black women. But none of this from our perspective is real. What we think is going on here is that this website is using automated bot software that enables them to send email messages to their male members. You can take a look at the screen shot below showing various email messages we received in our inbox. A couple of things we need to point out is that for our investigation we left our profile completely empty. Miraculously we still got 12 different women to email us. How was that possible? What exactly encapsulated these women to send us emails? Other dating sites such as Plenty of Fish you have to send out 100 emails to get even two or three replies back from women but for some reason on BlackWink.com it's the other way around where the women are chasing the mean. Is this real? Personally, we don't think this is real at all. We believe that software bots are being used to send people email messages. The reasoning behind this is that when you try to communicate back to these women who we believe aren't even real you will be asked to pay for a membership and that's the only reason that all of this is going on. The absolute end game here is financial gain for the owners of this website. This is our opinion.

Fictional "Winks" Used To Deceive You Into Upgrading
How many "winks" did you receive? We receive 29 "winks" from the female profiles on this site. Once again we need to reiterate that These "winks" aren't authentic. By using automated software bots, the administrators of this website send you "winks" that make it appear as if women are flirting with you. This is all a facade. It's all used to get you excited about communicating back to the women winking at you. This marketing gimmick is used to get you to upgrade. Unfortunately our opinion is that the women sending "winks" are not authentic. You can take a look at the screen shot below showing the "winks" that we have received.
(Screen shot showing that we got 11 messages from bots.)
40 Fake Instant Messages From Virtual Women
And yet another very popular marketing trick is to use the automated bot to send members of Black wink.com what we believe to be fake instant messages. Once again these instant messages are used as a marketing tactic to get you to try to reply back to the message at which time you will be sent to a secondary page where you will need to upgrade to send an instant message back to the women trying to chat with you. Our opinion is that the women in these profiles are completely falsified, they are not real members of this dating service. You can take a look at the screen shot below showing the 40 different instant messages that we have received in the last 24 hour period..
(Screen shot of the 40 different instant messages we have gotten.)
Proof Of Stolen Photos Used To Create Phony Female Profiles
When we do these investigations we try to include as much evidence as possible. The next piece of evidence is a photograph from what we believe to be a fictitious profile. This photograph was found on other the other sites as well and we have included those links. For us this is just more proof that this is not a legitimate profile. Just like we have proved in our other reviews it just showcase that this website is probably using pictures taken from other websites to create made up female profiles. Once again this is only our opinion.

The Terms Page Explain What They're Up To
Also as part of our investigations we read the terms and conditions page section #1 of every site we are probing. We have copied and pasted the most important part of the terms page below. You can read in their own words how they discuss that they do create profiles and use automatic notification systems to tell you of instant messages, winks and emails that you have received. Although in their own words everything seems justified all you need to do is register as a free member on BlackWink.com and you will see everything that we have written about in this investigation. Then you can come to your own conclusion as to if this is a real dating site or a site designed to look like a legitimate dating site. There's a big difference.

Hi
This is the worst type of scam there is. These people are complete low life's and they won't get very far with this bullshit. The person behind this she be killed, slaughter style for playing with peoples money. Who ever you are just wait… You'll get your day!
I tried it out. I had transvestites and ho's begging me to come to their Camsight on campleasures that black wink connects you to immediately. Oh yes andthey are so lonely they just need you. Feed the meter if your feeling like a trick!Next one of the ones who took my number was a white bitch says daddy died and she is in Ghana taking care of ? and she is a Christian and I am the one for her. Told her I was there for black pussy why is she on the line.She asked for $200 for food!!Said bitch not even if it came with your snatch delivered.Not sick ass trick ass John today.But it was a 2.97 lesson. Had a girl call me while on black wink said I'd given here my number??Done it so many times even though dont recall talked for too long. Got me to agree to a hook up but I needed to be verified,Try thses two websites for free trial.Free!!They tried taking 39.99 both till I called the bank. Beware and fight back.Sex club is better.Wild Horse Saloon better.Bar Fly better.You see what your really dealing with. Knew kinda they had people ho's monitoring the line looking for easy money.After told her told my bank that I caught websites taking money immediately and her referral never heard from her again..And only spent 2.97 for Black Wink. The sight she referred me to was localsexfriends.com and cam pleasures These sights always bill under another name. Bank had that and number.I called raised hell ,got my money back said I was ratting their punk ass out to get them off the net.Black Wink is a scam but better than the others,,,,atleast they did not try taking more.Still feel lil' sick about being a trick almost too easily.Nice to share the bad experience. Learn not to burn thinking with that small head that gets big ideas!
Is there a way i can get my money back in Will they continue to take money out my account???
cancel your account Shawn.
How Do I Delete The Account? I Didn't Pay. I Just Want To Delete It
I seen that too. A couple of the pictures posted are not original. I didn't sign up. I doubt if the the profiles were even from areas around my city. The whole website setup reminded me of a porn website where the girls from the layouts aren't even responding to your comments. It's just one of the website administrators
I NEVER SIGNED UP FOR THIS SITE AND I WANT MY PICTURE TAKEN DOWN MY NAME DENISE ISAIAH THIS IS A INVASION OF MY PRIVACY AND I AM CONTACTING A ATTORNEY IF THAT FAKE PROFILE IS NOT TAKING DOWN THIS WEBSITE HAS STOLEN MY PICTURE
Even though I never paid them a dime I want you to listen real close. If I ever run into your punkass I'm putting a bullet rite between your fucking eyes
Well well. I signed up for the 6th month option.. from the gig go. I knew something was fishy.. after a month i canceled the membership.. never never met any women in a walking distance, near me, same area code, or within 50 miles. I contacted the BW customer service email line. And they claimed that the dating site did not use fake bots etc…. long story short I requested my money back…the said NO. Then had the audacity to send me or give me free access to another POS website called (OutTime) I'm sure we have seen that commercial by now…that website is the same thing as BW.. bulls******.
cheap worthless date sites…poor customer service, and poor ethic business practiceses.
I had the same experience with these sites. I had two girls get to me with the same Ghana BS story, both asked me to send money on money Gram for rent, food, and medicine. Oh yeah, the cost of renewing her passport! I told her to get a job.
It's a scam I saw a picture of a woman who doesn't even live in this country ,And they had the NERVE to say she lives near me What BS !!!!!!!
I never fill out any profile information. But immediately i start receiving messages from women. I almost sign up, but i sense something was wrong with this site. I am glad i did my homework first. I goggle Blackwink to see if it was legit or a scram. Man i am glad i did. Turn out my this site was fake. My advice to anyone. Do ur homework first before u invest ur hard earn money. Thank u DATINGBUSTERS.COM for keeping us inform.
I did check them out early last year. I had an account without a picture and did receive lots of messages in my inbox. So I tried a month's subscription. It said 27.99 USD, but I was suprised to see additional costs that haven't been included in the fee for the month's subscription. The payment links directs you to other vital options, for example, to keep your account information safe (for an additional amount), to be able to communicate (for another amount), etc. These are basic features that some websites (match.com, for example) include in their monthly fee. The total amount payable in the end was 27.99 + 28.00 (approx.)=46.00 USD (approx), including conversions from the pound. What a rip-off! Well, I went on to reply to the women who had contacted me (at least ten!). No replies came back, but I was able to chat with a few members who appear on the chat section, along with the good-for-nothing administrator who had no chat option for members and only seem to redirect you to sign up elsewhere, or to offer you discounts, etc. Days went by and no replies came either from other women I had contacted using the messaging service. After a month, I was already suspicious of the site having fake profiles. and did try another similar site for another month, with a similar story. It was then that I demanded back my money. I was promised free membership for a month or more at flirt.com (or so). Avoid this site as well as others affiliated with them: sexyblackpeople.com, ebonybooty.com,ebonyflirt.com. They have the same administrator and are owned by the same company in the Virgin Islands. I wish there is some kind of severe punishment for these companies ripping people off and wasting their time.

Yes, they are extremely fake and they are scams and cheats. I’ve noticed they use a lot of fake profile pics. I know for a fact because I actually know some of the girls from the pictures they were stealing. Unfortunately, this site doesn’t care about the user at all, I quickly deleted my account. Also, they may be mob affiliated, and many of the workers can’t even speak proper English, huge disgrace. Stay far away from this site, I have no idea how they are still in business……smh. Some of their pictures of girls are actually from back page before it got shut down. As soon as you sign up, you get spammed all over the place, even without a profile pic….. And there are many dating sites like this . But this one is extremely obvious
100% AGREED!
Really fake site and they take your money and deceive you that your profile has been deleted.
Stay away and call ur bank
I attempted to join the BlackWink website and fortunately or unfortunately their system rejected my card!!! Ridiculous!! I had only used that moments earlier with Instacart for groceries. But still I worry that my card may be compromised. I saw one beautiful woman I really had interest in — BUt too many attempts to join and too many rejections raised my red flags and I am glad that this Watch Dog site is directly on cue with eyes open for the scamming at BlackWink!!
