Ways ICrushes.com can scam you
Usually the evidence that back up our suspicions can be found in the Terms and Conditions of Use on dating sites we are reviewing. This is a document that you have to agree to when signing up, but nobody ever reads it. If you do pay attention to this page, you will find confessions of all the fraudulent actions this site hopes you will overlook. For your convenience, we present the important evidence found in ICrushes.com terms of use page and explain them here.
1) “Online Flirt” Fantasy Profiles
We are certain that you noticed the nude photographs of the gorgeous women on ICrushes.com. But, have you stopped to ask yourself why would such beauties need a dating site to meet local men? Now, after doing numerous reviews on online dating services, we have a trained eye that spots such tell-tale signs of scam. These so called “Online Flirt” fabricated profiles contain either made-up information or take and reuse other members’ data and photos. The site also uses these fictitious profiles to send you the fake email messages and lure you into paying a monthly membership fee.
FROM THE TERMS OF USE: “THIS SITE USES FANTASY PROFILES CALLED “ONLINE FLIRT®” In order to enhance your amusement experience, to stimulate you and others to use our Services more extensively, and to generally sprinkle some sparkle and excitement into the Services of ICRUSHES.COM, we may post fictitious profiles.”
2) Not A Free Dating Service
One way the site tricks you into paying for membership is by one way they tempt you is by sending you automated messages that look like they are coming from some beautiful local women and then, not allowing you to read or write back unless you give them your money. This means that ICrushes.com basically extorts your money by limiting your access to the site’s services and features. Here is a list of your payment options and subscription period choices:
- $29.95 for a monthly automatically recurring membership
- $59.95 for a 3 month automatically recurring membership
3) Computer-Generated Communications
You’d say that receiving email messages from gorgeous women on a dating site is not a bad thing. We’d agree with that, but only if these emails didn’t look so fake. It’s actually wasn’t that hard to detect these computer-automated messages because we are experienced at detecting this kind of frauds. Basically, we’ve seen the same conning scheme used on all of the affiliated sites. Plus, it was only a matter of minutes after we signed up on ICrushes.com that we started getting messages, and our profile contained no personal information and no photographs. We only asked ourselves “who would contact someone with an empty profile?” and this scamming tool became more than evident to us.
FROM THE TERMS OF USE: “We generate or respond to communications by means of automated programs or scripts that simulate or attempt to simulate your intercommunication with another real human being (though none really exists and any dialog is generated by programming). While these communications may seem genuine, authentic, and personal, they may be broadcast simultaneously to a large number of persons and possess none of these qualities. While their contents may appear to be true, they may be quite false; while their contents may appear to sincere, they may be quite disingenuous.”
4) Communications Come From Employees
ICrushes.com also has a team of employees who are hired and paid to send messages to you and other real site users and pretend that they like you. Their job is to string you along for as long as you don’t realize that you are being conned and that you’ll never meet in person anyone from this site.
FROM THE TERMS OF USE: “We may employ or contract for the paid services of real persons who may interact with you as part of their compensated employment.”
The verdict on ICrushes.com
Getting charged over such big amount of money every month or every few months for getting a bunch of computer-generated and fake messages from women who don’t even exist is a complete rip off and a scam. ICrushes.com is an online dating site that you shouldn’t trust, and in fact, you should stay away from such a conning website.
