Datingscout is under Badoo umbrella. They have other sister sites that are all one big scam

Once you register there you get inundated with endless messages regardless of whether you put up your photo or not. I met quite a few girls on J1Live.com
- they started writing me only after I filled in my profile and put up a photo. Nothing was happening before I did that which made sense. Only bots would write to a blank profile and that is exactly what is happening on DatingScout. So don't get excited when you get all these messages - it won't go further than that and it won't lead to anything real.

Kinda confusing and slow

Checked out DatingScout and it left me with mixed vibes. There is a lot of info and recommendations, but once you start actually clicking around it feels kinda clutered and not super intuitive. I`ve used platforms like j4l.us, and from that I know how smooth it can feel when you can get straight into browsng real profiles and chattind. Here it sometimes feel like you are stuck reading menus and lists instead of just talking

You can’t trust their recommendations, since they mention many of the outright money scam sites, such as AshleyMadison and Benaughty

The only real good worthy site that they recommend is FiBride.com
I’ve been having the most positive experience with it. I’ve been on four dates already and I’m fixing three more dates next week. The rest of the sites and apps mentioned on DatingScout are not worth a cent. They are only good at leaving men high and dry (with heavy hearts and empty wallets). Also sometimes they give instructions to the page that isn’t there which is kind of a red flag as well.

Most dating sites & reviewers are owned by the same group!

It is sad, but most enterprises like these awful dating sites (JDate, Zoosk..) and fakely reviewing services (like datingscout.com) are ONLY money pits!

I’ve complained so many times to JDate about all the glitches (showing me women as best matches as I’m looking for a man, showing the list of new members - who show they have not been in line for a year, etc. ). They don’t answer, they don’t clean their act, they just take your money and run. As for « dating scout.com », their reviews are silly and I relevant, and they encourage you to subscribe to these reviewed dating sites. Do you know why? Because they all belong to the same German group! Yes, most sites and the reviewers are all swimming I the same pool!

Theyre phoney, look who they rate high

1. This is for Datingscout.co.uk; is it the same as Datingscout.com? My review of Datingscout.com is similar.

2. Why does Trust Pilot show a 2.8 rating when there are a total of three reviews not counting mine all with a 1-star rating? I think in the third or fourth grade math would get the average of 1+1+1=, not 2.8.
Please contact me back somebody from Trustpilot

Okay, first of all, it's a zero. They claim to be a reviewer and agglomerators of dating sites. True they put together a listing, as far as reviews go, I don’t understand why they would want to be this dishonest, Except maybe that they get paid every time you click, so they wanna make things sound good, even when they're not good at all.

One way I use to rate dating reviewers is the rating they give to certain sites, in particular Ashley Madison. You might know that is an essentially a fraudulent site, theyre essentially selling a hotdog bun with substantively no actual meat; they're a ‘real site’ but they don’t have a legitimate amount of what they advertise to have. In terms of Bots there, they have not only been ‘called out’ but in fact, Ashley Madison produces phony female profiles and publishes them ‘ for entertainment ‘ and says so in their disclosures.
Why so much here about Ashley Madison? It's a good indicator of who this site is, ie: if somebody tells you that Fords can fly, go to a different dealership, they’re not being straight with you. Datingscout says AM is very, very good (4.5) stars, it’s not. And it’s the biggest site in its category. There's no way in the world they could've missed the truth about that scam of a site. Therefore they're a scammer too.
