subscription
I tried to get a hold of you people to cancel my subscription. I am very unpleased about your services.
I pay to what, to find prostitution going on, I think this will be turned over to the authorities if I can not cancel my subscription.
I will also hire a lawyer to sue you people for false advertising.
There is no way to cancel a subscription on the site page.
7 day trial service
Message limit exceeded... You know what i'm talking about! It's suppose to be a trial for a reason not you get to send 2 messages and your done! Then I go to send this and it says it's has to be atleast 350 characters or it won't be read!?!? What kind of scam service is this? My frustration right now is through the roof! Needless to say I will more than likely be cancelling right after this message is sent. To avoid any other bs this website can come up with...
I tryed signing up for a 7 day trial they told me I was declined that my bank had declined it but what fling.com did was not run my card at first I had them try 4 times just for a 7 day trial well I wasn't going to call my bank and ask 2hy it was declined so I just figured I'm not going to upgrade well well I just happened to look at my account at my bank there was a withdraw of just under $50 not $9.93 that put my account overdrafted so the $9.93 for a week I didn't think they told me I was declined now is costing just over $100 if that's not a scam they I'm sure we're hoping that I wouldn't see and keep charging me forever good business I can't wait my attorney is going to make a fraudulent perpisly attack on myself after telling me I was declined it never should if been re ran with our contacting me have a great day

Very misleading site! purchsded a trial membership that didnt tell of any limits on texts or being able to see the videos which is the highlight of the site. After sending 5 messages was blocked from sending anymore. Totally misleading site. Buyer beware! furthermore the customer service rep acted as if she couldnt find my account then i loged on and went straight to it. Beware, beware, beware!
membership
I purchased a 3 day trial membership for 1.95. After viewing their website for approximately 10/15 mins, I figured out its a fake website so I called and cancelled the trial membership within 20 mins of purchasing it. Not only they would not refund $1.95, I was charged another $9.95 the same day which I have no clue what it was for. When I called and asked...

spam
I never heard of Fling. Suddenly I am a member and getting dozens of spam mails for all the girls that want to meet. Yeah right, scam smell all over :P But point is: I never did subscribe or signed in. I did never ever heard of Fling. Yet somehow I suddenly am. Did contact them but I had to give my user name ... which I don't have since I never signed up there!
I did some searching and LOTS of the same complaints like mine. Seems that Flings just buys mailing lists and adds all kind of things as "new users". No wonder they claim to be so big :(
In the mean time they just keep on spamming me ...
@ Gary Grant
Ah no, I am his reincarnation :P
Same thing happened to me, about a few days ago I got an email from one of the members of Fling.com saying that they wanted to share messages with me, I deleted the email from my inbox, the next day I get another email from Fling.com saying another member had viewed my profile (which I didn't recall ever creating) and had left a message, when I went to view the message I found that I had to pay about $2.00 to view it.
Now last night I started getting messages from a Fling.com member called "Hot Angelica" who said she wanted to meet me, she eventually suggested that I make a donation to a Cancer charity of either $200.00 for 4 Hours, or $400.00 for two nights, it was then that I "smelled a rat" and told her that I couldn't afford it.
Next I got an email from a Fling.com member calling themselves tintin56fgdfghdfhffghgfjhfgjghjhgjhj...soon as I saw that my suspicions were aroused, and here I am on this website.
Fling is a Scam and Spam
They show dozens of women and say they are from my town, NONE of them do as this is a small town and I know everyone.
I entered the site and found at least 10 KNOWN Scammers, I complained but Fling Doesn't care at all, the Scammers are still there.
Fling is not the only dating Site that does this, I find they all do it.
Every Dating Site is a Scam

I have used fling in the past (it's not hte best, but I have gotten laid from it). I am that rare "unicorn" woman who is real on the site.

This site is a scam and needs shut down
is true - FALSE ADVERTISING - PHOTOS used by scammers are in this site, this site doesn't care as I have informed them.
This site says there is 438 women in my town looking, but how is that when there is only 700 aprox total population ?
this site is a SCAM, they support SCAMMERS, and use any means to suck people into their site.
Quote from anonymous Admin of site " the photo's maybe real but the profiles are doctored or fake ", I kid you not, this was actually quoted to me

WE NEED TO SUE THEIR ###
I did not sign up for this service
Some how Fling got my email address and made a free account for their site. I have never used this site and would never. I think this site is deplorable. How they got my email address is suspect in itself but making an account and then sending me emails is something entirely different. My relationship has suffered due to this sites low practices. The only thing that saved me is when it signed me up, I was in bed with her. They did not use my right zip code or birthday and the email was not validated either. With all these pieces of evidence together, my girlfriend was able to reasonably deduce that I was telling the truth. Then when I tried to delete the account, there was no delete button. I emailed the support but never received a response. I am a business owner who's name and rep is worth its weight in gold so I can't afford to let this lye. I am pursuing legal action against global personals as you read this.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I just seen this in my husbands email and am madder than crap at him, he swears he didn't sign up for it but I don't believe him! He just left for 3 days to go out of town and I am not speaking to him because of it ! These sex sights really mess people's relationships up .
i jus found out i was on this site and did not no how do i get off of it odid not sign up for any of it
Having been referred to this complaint by some people can I make it clear that Global Personals neither own nor operate Fling.com.
Regards
support@globalpersonals.co.uk
You are so right, this piece of ### site signed me up as well. Im not digging this! I did a forgot password to see what was going on and those ###s really sent me a password! They should be sued in Class Action LawSuit and tooken down permanantly!

I wish opt out of this sit as i did not know it was sexaul if you do not cancal this contract i well go to the police about it

This privacy policy only applies to activities you perform on the Fling.com website, transactions for purchasing Fling subscription services, and activities or communications that occur using the Fling service (collectively known as the "Service") and does not apply to any other Website or offline point of contact between Fling.com, Fling, or any other company, and consumers. This policy was implemented on January 1, 2003 this policy may change from time-to-time, please periodically review this page. Each time you use the Service or provide us with information, by doing so you are accepting the practices described in this privacy policy at that time.
Your IP Address
Like most e-commerce Websites, each time use the Service, we automatically collect your IP address and the web page from which you came. In order to administer and optimize the Service for you and to diagnose problems, we use your IP address to help identify you and to gather broad demographic information about you.
Cookies
Like most Websites, the Service uses cookies to keep track of your purchases and other activity on the website and enhance your experience. We also use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests, to save your password, and if you choose, to save other personal and financial information so you do not have to reenter it each time you use the Service. Third party advertisers on the Site may also place or read cookies on your browser. If you wish to disable these cookies, the "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how. However, if you set your browser to disable cookies, you may not be able to access certain aspects of the Service.
Information We Collect From You
In order to operate the Service and to provide you with information about products or services that may be of interest to you, we may collect "personal information" (i.e. information that could be used to contact you directly without using the service" demographic information" (i.e. information that you submit, or that we collect, that is neither personal information nor financial information; this may include, but is not limited to, zip code, postal code, hometown, gender, username, age/birth date, purchase history information, browsing history information, searching history information, registration history information, and the content of communications between you and other members over the Service), subject to the rest of this paragraph.

We ask that you do not enter personal information or financial information into your "Profile" (for example, don't use your address or passcode as your username, or include your name or address in your written responses), because if you do then it may be posted publicly on the Service, and the information will then be treated as "demographic information" that is "public information." Please note that nowhere on the Service do we knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 18, as we require that all users represent to us that they are at least 18 years old.
Information Other Websites Collect From You

How We Use Personal Information
Fling is committed to treating your personal information with the highest degree of care. Your email address and personal information is not shared with any third parties and is solely used to send email communication from Fling. Your personal information will not be resold to any third party. We use your email address and your other personal information to help us efficiently operate the Service, to contact you in connection with your transactions and other activities on the Service (including, but not limited to, confirmation emails or important news that could affect your relationship with Fling.com), and to forward messages to you from other Fling.com users. These types of communications are known as "Operational Communications." In some cases, Operational Communications may also contain commercial messages, such as banner ads and special offers.
We also use personal information to send you newsletters, information, offers and other promotional materials for Fling.com's or third parties' goods or services. We attempt to send you offers that are of value to you, such as discounts, exclusive offers or special event information. The Service provides you with options to decline to receive communications from Fling.com (other than those contained in Operational Communications). Some of these options may only be for a certain category of communications; others may be more general. By posting a profile on the Service, you are opting in to receive messages from other Fling.com members by email or text message. To stop receiving messages from other Fling.com members, change your account settings on Fling.com.
To operate the Service, including processing your transactions and supporting your activities on the Service, we may share your personal information with our agents, representatives, contractors and service providers so they can provide us with support services such as authorization of credit card transactions, email origination, receipt or support services, customer relationship management services, order fulfillment and sweepstakes and promotional fulfillment. We require these entities not to use your information for any other purpose.
By purchasing, or registering or making reservations for, products or services offered or sponsored by third parties on the Service, or electing to receive communications (such as emails or magazine subscriptions) or electing to participate in contests, sweepstakes or other programs (such as discount or rewards programs), offered or sponsored by third parties on the Service, you consent to our providing your personal information to those third parties. Those third parties may use your personal information in accordance with their own privacy policies. You will need to contact those third parties to instruct them directly regarding your preferences for the use of your personal information by them. Additionally, you agree that we may use and disclose all such information so submitted to such third parties in the same manner in which we are entitled to use and disclose any other information you submit to us.
In some cases, we may enter into a promotional relationship with another company in which we prominently display their brand name or trademarks on pages of the Service. These pages are known as "Co-Branded Pages" and these companies are known as "Co-Branded Companies." If the page on which you submit information is a Co-Branded Page, or was accessed by clicking on a link on a Co-Branded Page, then we may share your personal information with the associated Co-Branded Company. Co-Branded Companies may use your personal information in accordance with their own privacy policies. You will need to contact Co-Branded Companies to instruct them directly regarding your preferences for the use of your personal information by them.

Some Co-Branded Pages may contain an action tag (also known as a Web Beacon or a 1 pixel .gif file) that a third party, may use to read cookies that it, or its clients, may have placed on your browser at other (non-Fling.com) web sites before your visit to Fling.com. This technology is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements on such other Websites that promote Co-Branded Pages. Further, such other third parties may use the information collected through this technology to learn more about your visits to this Service and other Websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
Any third party with whom we are allowed to share your personal information is authorized to use your personal information in accordance with our contractual arrangements with such third parties and in accordance with their own privacy policies, over which we have no control, and you agree that we are not responsible or liable for any of their actions or omissions. Those who contact you will need to be instructed directly by you regarding your preferences for the use of your personal information by them.
Please read the information below under the heading "Special Cases in which we Share Personal and Financial Information" to learn more ways in which we may share your personal information.
How We Use Public Information and Other Demographic Information
We may review all demographic information. We may use public information to enable other users to find your profile, to determine whether they are a match for you and to communicate with you. We may use demographic information to tailor the Service and communications to your interests. We may also share demographic information with advertisers on an anonymous and aggregated basis (i.e., without telling the advertisers your identity). One of the reasons we may do this is to increase the likelihood that our advertisers' goods and services will appeal to Fling.com's users, so that we may target specific ads at specific demographic groups. Our sharing of demographic information with advertisers is anonymous (i.e., we do not tell advertisers which particular Fling.com users are members of which demographic groups), subject to the rest of this privacy policy. When you respond to an advertisement, however, we ask you to remember that if that ad that is targeted to a demographic group and you decide to give the advertiser your personal information, then the advertiser may be able to identify you as being a member of that demographic group. Please also be aware that when we disclose your financial information or personal information to a Co-Branded Company, as described above, we may also disclose to that Co-Branded Company your demographic information, other than the content of one-on-one communications between you and other members. Please also be aware that we may disclose your demographic information on a non-anonymous basis as described above in the paragraph titled "Special Cases in which we Share Personal and Financial Information." Also, to read further details about how we may use your public information, see ourTerms of Use.
Changing our Privacy Policy for Previously Gathered Information
If at any point we decide to use particular personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email or by providing 30 days notice on the Service. Please note that we will continue to have the right to change our privacy policy and practices, and how we use your personally identifiable information, without notice, as described in the first paragraph of this Privacy Policy, provided that such changes shall only apply to information gathered on or after the date of the change.
How You Can Access and Update Your Email Preferences, Personal Information and Public Information

Any such estimation will include all accounts (both free and paid) created since the inception of the Fling.com website as we do not purge inactive accounts. For your information, a member's "hotness" ranking on Fling.com is indicative of, among other matters, how recently the account has been accessed.

Please note that we do work expeditiously to remove what we believe to be fraudulent/malicious profiles as and when they are reported. We take all such reports extremely serious as we intend for Fling.com to be a place for like-minded men and women to communicate and we have no tolerance for individuals abusing our system.

Dating Site Cautions
The following are precautions you should consider when meeting or corresponding with anyone on any dating or social networking website:
(a) Anyone who is able to commit identity theft can also falsify a dating profile;
(b) There is no substitute for acting with caution when communicating with any stranger who wants to meet you;
(c) Never include your last name, email address, home address, phone number, place of work, or any other identifying information in your dating profile or initial email messages. Stop communicating with anyone who pressures you for personal or financial information or attempts in any way to trick you into revealing it; and
(d) If you choose to have a face-to-face meeting with another member, always tell someone in your family or a friend where you are going and when you will return. Never agree to be picked up at your home. Always provide your own transportation to and from your date and meet in a public place with many people around.
How Your Content May be Used
When you create a profile with Fling.com, your profile will be shared with other dating and "hook-up" websites which contain members of the Site. Additionally, when you upload any videos as a part of your profile your video will automatically watermarked with the Site or its related entity's watermark and, unless you unmark the "Add to" or similarly termed box, your video will be automatically uploaded to one or more of our partner websites which contain other videos uploaded by other members of the Site.
Introductions
The Site may cause pop-ups to display as a system notification on your screen while you are viewing the Site. These system notifications may or may not indicate they have been initiated by the Site and may provide you with limited information about other members of the Site and/or such member's activity on the Site. The system notifications may prompt you to initiate dialogue with other member(s) (who may or may not have upgraded to a paid account and may have varying login and activity levels). If you wish to initiate dialogue and have not purchased a membership to the Site, you will be required to purchase a paid membership prior to being able to initiate or even review any dialogue; however, it is possible that the member with whom you wish to initiate dialogue may not respond for various reasons including, without limitation, the member is not interested in responding, may not be actively monitoring his/her account and/or may no longer be available. If the sole reason you upgrade your membership is to correspond with one specific member and such member does not respond to your correspondence, you may request a full refund within ten (10) days of your initial membership purchase by calling customer service. Upon initiating the refund, your account will revert to free and you will not be able to review any responses or messages from any members should any be sent to your account.

SEND ALL OTHER INQUIRIES TO: [protected]@gpnethelp.com
Repeat Infringers
The Site will terminate the account of any member who the Site believes has infringed on the rights of any third party(ies) one or more times. For the avoidance of doubt, the Site specifically reserves the right to terminate the account of any member reported by any third party for infringing on such third party's rights and the Site will immediately terminate the account of any member reported more than once for infringing on the rights of a third party.
Notification and Take Down Procedures
The Site implements the following "notification and takedown" procedure upon receipt of any notification of claimed copyright infringement. The Site reserves the right at any time to disable access to, or remove any material or activity accessible on or from any Site or any Materials claimed to be infringing or based on facts or circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent. We reserve the right to terminate any account reported for infringing on the intellectual property of any third party, and we will act expeditiously to remove access to all identifiable material that is alleged to infringe on a third party's copyright, according to the procedure set forth in 17 U.S.C. §512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). The Site's DMCA Notice Procedures are set forth in the preceding paragraph. If the notice does not comply with §512 of the DMCA, but does comply with three requirements for identifying sites that are infringing according to §512 of the DMCA, the Site shall attempt to contact or take other reasonable steps to contact the complaining party to help that party comply with the notice requirements. When the Designated Agent receives a valid notice, we will expeditiously endeavor to remove and/or disable access to the infringing material and may notify the affected user. Then, the affected user may submit a counter-notification to the above designated agent containing a statement made under penalty of perjury that the user has a good faith belief that the material was removed because of misidentification of the material. After the designated agent receives the counter-notification, we will replace the material at issue within 10-14 days after receipt of the counter-notification unless the designated agent receives notice that a court action has been filed by the complaining party seeking an injunction against the infringing activity. We reserve the right to modify, alter or add to this policy, and all users should regularly check back to these Terms and Conditions to stay current on any such changes.
DMCA Counter-Notification Procedure
If the recipient (the "Recipient") of a Notice of Claimed Infringement ("Notice") feels that the Notice is erroneous or false, and/or that allegedly infringing material has been wrongly removed in response to a Notice as outlined above, the Recipient is permitted to submit a counter-notification pursuant to §512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA. A counter-notification is the proper method for the Recipient to dispute the removal or disabling of material (the "Material") pursuant to a Notice. The information that a Recipient provides in a counter-notification must be accurate and truthful, and the Recipient will be liable for any misrepresentations which may cause any claims to be brought against us relating to the Content.
To submit a counter-notification, please provide our Designated Copyright agent the following information:
a) A specific description of the material that was removed or disabled pursuant to the Notice.
b) A description of where the material was located within the Site before such material was removed and/or disabled. Please provide the specific URL if possible.
c) A statement reflecting the Recipient's belief that the removal or disabling of the Material was done so erroneously. For convenience, the following format may be used:
“I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the referenced material was removed or disabled by the service provider as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.”
d) The Recipient's physical address, telephone number, and email address. Written notification containing the above information must be signed and sent to:
Lawrence G. Walters
781 Douglas Avenue
Altamonte Springs, FL 32714
Fax: [protected]
Alternately, to email the above information, You must digitally sign the email and send it to: [protected]@DMCANotice.com
DO NOT SEND ANY OTHER INQUIRIES TO OUR DMCA AGENT.
SEND ALL OTHER INQUIRIES TO: [protected]@gpnethelp.com
After receiving a DMCA-compliant counter-notification, our designated copyright agent will forward it to us, and we will then provide the counter-notification to the entity who first provided the Notice concerning the subject material.
Additionally, within ten to fourteen (10-14) days of our receipt of the counter-notification, we will replace or cease disabling access to the disputed material provided that we or our designated copyright agent have not received notice from the entity who first provided the Notice that such entity has filed a legal action pertaining to the disputed material.
We reserve the right to modify, alter or add to this policy, and all users should regularly check back regularly to stay current on any such changes.

AnnR.key & hmm: Lol...ohhh you guys... : P
AnnR.key: Oh, my fling.com account, I see, I initially thought you meant my complaintsboard account . Thanks for clarifying! : ) Some of us are a little slower than others.
hmm.: I was joking! : ) Humor is always appreciated, and I hope you post again here on the thread soon!
MIL = Mother In Law? Lol...
I AM fun! : ] And whos account is fake?
Dear AnnR.key (great alias btw)! : ),
What if you need a road sign to help keep your refrigerator from tipping over, is it ok to steal one then? Lol...
Fact Police,
Does "tl;dr" mean "short or condensed version?
Anyways, 99% of what comprises my complaint is fling.com's own Terms of Use, Copyright Notice, and Privacy Policy, as I replicated them in full within my complaint, so in reality what I actually had to say was only a tiny percentage of the total makeup of the complaint. I'm basically using their own legal mumbo jumbo against them.
I included everything (the Terms of Use, Copyright Notice, and Privacy Policy) in the post so people can copy and paste the emails exactly as I sent them to fling.com, should anyone choose to go that route. Each email is clearly labeled though, so it's easy to tell where one ends and where the next one begins, despite their length.
Well, that's relevant "hmm."! Thank you for jumping in! Lol, what's the matter with you!?!
My post got cut short. Here is the remaining portion:

scam
Fling.com has to be the worst $60 I've ever spent. After I registered, I of course decided to try to upload some pictures. I couldn't because the website wasn't working properly and it kept giving me an error any time I tried to upload any picture. Oh well, I thought. I'll just start looking through some profiles, it should be fixed in no time. Now, with a Gold membership I was told I could email members. In all my time with Fling I have found this to be untrue, unless the members themselves actually supplied me with their email (Which is something I'll rant about later). After sending my first message I was told I had reached my message limit for the day. Wow. Unbelievable. So after a while of not being able to upload photos and not being able to send messages to other users, I decided to email customer support and tell them what was wrong with their website and voice my concerns. I never heard back from them, but the messages and photo upload problem seemed to be fixed in about TWO DAYS. Two days is a relatively short period of time, but if you're a major website who provides a service to it's customers for a fee, two days is a long time. Alright, well, no sweat, I have a 3 month membership, plenty of time to find girls to hook up with. So I finally upload some photos and rate them and what not, and the photos say 'Pending' underneath them for a week, and finally I guess they got approved. But to this day my default picture still says 'No Pic' to me. And when I try to verify my photos it tells me I still have not uploaded any photos. Wow. Awesome. So I figure, well, if this website is not letting me put any photos, I'll just write the link to my Myspace in my about me section, and people can go there and take a look at my photos. And i'll write my email address in case anybody wants to email me for pictures or to talk. WRONG. Any website or email address you try to write about in your about me is automatically deleted. Chalk up another suck point for Fling.com. So anyway, during this whole time I am sending messages to other users in my area, doing my thing, you know. But the only responses I ever get back are generic spam messages telling me to pay money to register to some website so I can see more pics of them, or telling me that they don't meet guys unless they view them on their webcam first, which of course, costs money. I've had different members message me back with different generic spam messages but with the SAME email address! WTF? And it's always something at hotmail.com. I was suspicious in the very beginning when I was browsing profiles of girls in my area, and I came across two different profiles with the exact same 'about me' section. Word for ###ing word. Anyway, here are a few of the generic messages I've received back from these fake women. Message 1: Hey (Name censored for privacy, but I will tell you it was my display name letter for letter, number for number), how are you? So whaddya looking for on here. I'll tell you what I want...a really good time LOL! The last couple of dates I went on were very, very bad blind dates. The last guy I went out was telling about my food digesting while I was eating. Ugh! To be honest I don't wanna find a 'hubby' on here, I just wanna find someone looking for the same type of no-strings fun that I am. IF thats you and you're interested in me get in touch with me at [protected]@hotmail.com Its a lot easier to check that email at work, if you know what I mean. Well, cant wait to hear from you, maybe we can meet up for oral, I mean coctails soon? LOL!. Message 2: hey...what's up? wanna chat? bizzybee02 at hotmail dot com Message 3: Hi! how r u? wanna chat? bizzybee02 at hotmail dot com *NOTE* Messages 2 and 3 are from different users. Message 4: Nice of you to contact me darling, I´d really like to get to know you, but I can seldom log in here from work. Could you send me an email to SandraTaylor847 at hotmail dot com please? I´d love to get together soon... Here are some of the emails I received back from users when I gave them my email address in a message. Email 1: Hey (censored)! How are you? Thanks for getting in touch! I am so glad you wrote, actually I was hoping I would hear from you so this is great. So, with regard to hooking up, I did want to tell you it has been a while for me and I really miss being with a man. If you can make some time for me at all today that would be great. Like I said I was thinking a few drinks would be good to help us get a little more comfortable around each other...you never know where it may lead then. Let's just say you have no idea how ready I am for you to break my little dry spell, it really has been a while for me. I did want to address a few things beforehand - just so you know my last STD & HIV tests were about 4 months ago and the results came back clean. You? Also, I insist on condoms (except during oral) and that's non-negotiable for me. That being said, I should also tell you what gets me hot...a few things I don't think I mentioned in my profile are like, I get wet from things like passionate kissing (along with a few well placed fingers), my breasts are very sensitive so almost anything you do will get my nipples hard, I enjoy watching movies before/during sex, I enjoy some use of toys, and I occasionally like being tied up. I'm also open to new suggestions. How about you? What are some of your turn-ons? Well I'm babbling on and blowing my cover a little here but I wanted to get back to you while I had a minute. You can call my cell whenever you want so we can set something up, I posted my number for you (and a bunch more pics!) at my favorite personal site, it's at http://www.newdiscreetflirts.com/becky07 My profile is listed inside that site under 'backsidebec'. I use this site mainly cause a couple of my friends use it and it's discreet and safe. It's definitely much better than most sites I have tried plus it has some great pics of me! I do hope to meet real soon but if it's not today let's definitely do something this week. Call me! Becky ***The following is a requirement of this website: 'If you are offended by adult material or are not of legal age to view such material, or if you simply would not like to hear from any members from this website, follow this link to be removed:' http://www.newdiscreetflirts.com/subscription.php *End of email* And that website wanted me to pay $20 so they could 'verify my age'. I didn't pay, so I couldn't get in. Email 2: Hi! Are you online? I am at home on my computer. I normally have to share it with two other girls I live with but they went to Mexico together so its just me here this week. If you are on and want to chat let me know. When I am online I am on my blog, so you can find me there. We can even chat there if you want. ttry Stace http://skatergirl85.blogspot.com/ *End of email* That website also requires you to pay to get in. Email 3: (Note: I have no idea who this last person even is, but they still managed to send me an email somehow) Hey what's up, did you get my last email? I emailed you a few days ago but never heard back. I was wondering if you'de be interested in getting together sometime. I put up my own webpage so if you're interested check out my pics and if you think we have chemistry drop me a line and we can see where things go. Here is my site www.findlocalprofileslive.com and this is the password: sexy (my friend told me to add a password feature so not everyone could see my pics) Well, I hope to hear back from you and we can get together or chat sometime. Talk soon, Kelly My site is intended for a mature audience only. If you are of legal age, or if you are offended by mature material, or if you don't wanna hear from me ever again go to this link: www.findlocalprofileslive.com/options.php *End of email* And every single girl I've messaged has done that exact same thing. Given me that same type of response. So needless to say, I'm utterly disgusted with this website right now, and I sent them an email telling them to go ### themselves and that I'm cancelling my membership. Only problem is, I went to cancel my membership and IT DOESN'T EVEN ###ING WORK! I enter my information and click cancel and then the page just sits there for an hour. I tried hitting stop and refresh and trying again but it did the same thing. It sat there for an hour and then it said 'Page Cannot Be Found' or something like that. Way to ###ing go Fling... Your website is a worthless piece of fuking ###.
Trying to hook up with someone online is a total waste of money and time. Go to night clubs in your area, you will find a lot of hot girls willing to hook up with you provided you are good looking.

Unauthorized charges for $ 59.95 by GPNETHELP.COM posted n my bank debit account statement on Nov. 30, 2010. They apparently work with billing for a sleezey dating / affairs company called Fling, who I understand may be based in Ft. Lauderdale. Through google, I was able to get a phone # and they gave me another phone # [protected]. That is Fling, who said they couldn't find the charge for me. Obviously, I need to pursue this more diligently, and will close my current debit account. James Brooks Jr.,
