I've been using Locanto since I was 18. A large majority of people on that website are catfish or scammers / criminals. I truly believe there is some sort of corruption going on on their website. M... See more

The biggest problem with Locanto is that they don't admit their responsibility for any connection that you make there

They are not responsible for the posted ads. So the platform is overloaded with scam. Just get a lady from AFFseek.com
It's the easiest and the shortest way to the real meet up and great nights. Locanto could have worked great if they hadn't been so greedy and if they had established some quality control. But they are money hungry rogues. It looks like they have never banned any scammer, so global con artists love this place- it's like a paradise for them. The support team doesn't give a damn.

I’m extremely disappointed with the direction this platform is taking.

They now require an upfront payment option of around $1,500 for advertising, which is completely unreasonable especially in today’s economic climate where businesses are already doing it tough. Instead of making things more accessible, they’ve made it harder and more expensive.

On top of that, the platform already has a low rating, so introducing such a costly plan doesn’t make sense if they’re trying to attract or retain customers.

I would not recommend this site for advertising. There are far better, more affordable options out there that actually support small businesses instead of putting more pressure on them.

If I could give less than one star, I would.

Now charging everyone $200-$300 EXTRA a month…

Now charging everyone $200-$300 EXTRA a month to display your number and website on an ad you already pay $60 a week for. Greedy company. The more people who advertise elsewhere the quicker this filthy greedy company will go bust. Will not for them another cent as during a time of financial pressure they put the most obscene price rise.

False ads, low quality service and the community full of catfishers - this is all what Locanto is about

No one monitors or bans these ads which results in abundance of scammers. You can just take it easy and meet girls via SexyAFF.com
without spending a fortune (and without catching a disease). They have plenty of hot chicks that are real and willing to meet for real. What happens most often on Locanto is women just ghost you. They don't show up after you have paid a deposit. Don't bother trying to get a refund due to false advertising - Locanto support team will disregard your requests.

Response time is ridiculous

Response time is ridiculous. They have no where to take a phone number off your profile. Pay for features such as seeing who's online and it works sometimes. Paid for top ad and premium yet there was no where on the ad where others could comment and a week after the ad was removed they answered my email by thanking me for my enquiry. No offer to return the money I paid for something they messed up. I have a new ad up and still having issues seeing messages on time snd seeing who is online whilst they actually are and not after

Locanto dating site doesn't just have scammers, I am 99.9% sure that they have people who work for them that contact you and play rolling so to get you to pay for other beneficial plans that I wouldn't do, and so I am not getting verified too go to the messages. That's what I get for being in it for over 2 years. I am thinking about posting this obviously money scamming dating not, site on the media apps I am on and may be on just to post and expose them more.

Beware - They ban your account for no reason!

I've been a member for over 10 years, posted an advert and two weeks later was met with "Your account has been banned"

Emailed their customer service team twice and have been ignored twice.

I'm none the wiser as to why I was banned, I'm guessing it's because I was never stupid enough to pay for any of their pointless features on their site! :)

The site is a scammers and bots paradise!. 0/10 - Don't recommend to anyone. Steer clear seriously.

They advertise for premium users the following:
contact users who are online right now and get faster response..... This tells me that if a user is online, that you can contact him...NoNo. you can contact him through his ad...So what is the difference??? You can in anyway contact him through the ad. I emailed customer service over a time of 3 weeks and they refuse to refund me. quick to lie, take your money and now they are ignoring my emails. I will now make it my mission to share my experience to all the online users of Locanto using their own app. very simple. so easy to create multiple users spreading the news.

This place attracts scammers like a magnet

Don’t believe them if they say it’s free. They will ask you for money sooner or later, but always b4 you meet up. If you send them any money – they will just ghost you, cuz Locanto is scammers’ paradise 😡
I use J4Flirt.com whenever I want to get laid with a hot chick 🔥 this site works best. Also it’s the quickest way. I clicked on Locanto ad and I regret it. Just wasted my time there. Luckily, I didn’t lose any money, but I bet it could have been more dangerous for a more naive and relaxed user.

Many ads placed here are by scammers

Many ads placed here are by scammers. One scammer by the name Julie on her ad put up her WhatsApp number. I messaged her or whoever the scammer was. Afterwards I realised her location in Islington changed. The photos were of someone else whose account it may have taken off or she may have sent them to a scammer. The same advertiser a month later put up the same advert with someone elses photos. Most women will not put there number up.

Another so called Indian escort was using an 07308 number which was a scammers number. She wanted a booking fee before I came round. I reported the account to Locanto. Be weary of scammers pretending to be an escort with photos stolen from somewhere else.

Majority of the ads women wanting to meet men are waste of time. You can send messages seems the messages are read but never get any replies.
Most women on here then ask you to register on another site, then they harass you with emails, and charges.
