Overview
Tempted.Com is a "friends with benefit dating service. This site is associated with many sites we have report on the past including UltraFuckBuddy.com, MegaHookup.com, LocalHookup.com and MegaBbw.com. Our detailed investigation is available for you to read below.
Fake Girls Known As Love Stars
This site is involved in the same shady business tactics as every other site that we have exposed from this company. First off any woman you come across on the site could very well be fabricated profiles. These fabricated profiles are part of something called the "Love Stars" program (section #10). The "Love Stars" program is essentially the marketing strategy from Tempted.com that includes fake female profiles (that includes fake information, fake text and pictures coipied from amateur porn sites) that are used in the "Love Stars" profiles. These profiles don't pertain to any actual person whatsoever. The people you see in those fake female profiles are not real members of the site at all.
Fake Notifications
As of writing this investigation we have so far received 7 notifications from different woman who have "viewed our profile" on the site. That sounds fantastic until you realize that all the women viewing your profile are completely fake. The con here is that no one is actually viewing your profile. This site uses sophisticated computer programs to make it appear as if someone has viewed your profile when in fact no one has. Why do they do this? Because they know that you as a male member will want to see who checked you out. When you see "viewed your profile" you will want to correspond and email those women back. At that time you will be requested to upgrade to a paid subscription. That is the scam in a nutshell. The bottom line is that they use fake profile views to trick you into upgrading so they can make money off of you.
Phony Emails From Make Believe Women
Have you been getting emails from women interested in conversing with you? Guess what, these are all fake as well. The sophisticated marketing team behind Tempted.com use automated instant chat messages to trick you into communicating back with the woman sending you the messages. This requires you to upgrade in order to communicate back to any other women sending you the messages. Unfortunately every single female who messaged us was not legit a member of the site. These women are not looking for dates or hookups or anything. Their profiles are part of the "Love Stars" program, so they are 100% fictitious absolutely nothing about them is real.
You Meet "Love Stars" In person
There should be no shadow of a doubt at this point that you cannot meet any of these "Love Stars" in person. The funny thing is they actually put that in the terms and conditions of the site stating that 'no physical meeting will take place between you and "Love Stars" and the messages that you receive are for entertainment purposes only.

Update March 2, 2016:
It looks like they have changed their sites terms and conditions as to not detail the use of "Love Stars". For the record when we did this review it was in the terms. But this was our experience on May 8, 2015. You can still see the orginal terms and conditons page for Tempted.com right here where they discuss their "Love Stars" program and using fictitious profiles and automated bots. The internet NEVER forgets, even though some people would rather cover up the truth.
