This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I joined this site it a total fraud only interested in trying to get your credit card details, only auto renew options no online options to cancel. make use of fake profiles sending messages to your profile, as you must be a pay memeber to read messages unlike other sites. the reason identified as beign fake was I had not added any text to my profile and had no pictures in it and i started receiving messages. being a member on other sites Hot young gay boys just do not send messages to pick up to a blank profile.

Perfect last sentence! I've had a free membership (which gets you nowhere) for a week now, have received about *30* "guys" contacting me, only I can't read what they wrote. Today, I'm reading lots of complaints about the total fakeness of this site. "Hot young gay boys just do not send messages to pick up to a blank profile." If the same happens to "blank" guys, this whole site is definitely a SCAM! I'm taking my profile down NOW, hopefully before it gets used by the site as a "fake profile" to lure other unsuspecting men.

At first, the site looks good. the pics etc are more intimate than the other sites i've been on so it was more interesting..I started with the free membership, where you can flirt with someone but not read any emails. I didn't put up any pics of myself, but made them private, where you can send a key to someone if you want them to be able tosee them..Same as the above, I got several inboxes from good looking men sending messages, only you can't read them. I took a two day membership for 10 dollars. What a joke lol. I've sent out 30 to 40 flirts or messages to people, offering the key to my pics and i haven't gotten ONE reply..i keep getting messages from people who are great-looking but live in Canada and have no web cams who are great looking and say basically nothing in their emails...when i answer, they don't answer back.. I get plenty of responses on other sites..If the people they show on their site are members, they're either free members who can't read emails or they're fake. It's uncanny that i haven't gotten one response. And don't think it's easy to find out exactly when you membership expires. What exactly is two days? 48 hours? i had to call up to find out...total joke of a site..they must have verrrrry few paying members so don't waste your time or money

Because of all the hits I got in the free version, I decided to pay the fee. I was flooded with 150 emails and 100 flirts so figured this was a great site! Because I dislike people who fail to reply to email, I spent hours replying to about 100. Okay, I'm naïve. When I did not receive a single reply of these so-called "interested people", I checked status and found 100% of these emails and flirts were from people who were not online and had not been online for a while. Gcruise must have some computer generated auto-robot mails and flirts. Total scam.

Agreed, I realized this was a scam and googled it and sure enough. I was getting flirts and messages constantly and while I filled out the profile I had yet to add a pic (wouldn't let me on an iPad). The big hint was that they don't let you read a single message free (most sites give you at least a couple a day) and then I was contacted by a guy named "bigbearluvr" who had in his profile "young smooth and in shape only". If they are going to scam people, at least do it well! I don't know how places like this can stay in business - anyone that got suckered into paying, DISPUTE WITH YOUR CREDIT CARD COMPANY. Thankfully I did not pay before I realized, but even if you are embarrassed to do so (what they are counting on) all your CC company will know is that it is a "dating site" and really, wtf do you care what they think anyway. It's your money! I work for a CC company and can tell you - CHARGEBACKS HURT THEM - it's the only way. Not only do they get the money you paid taken away, they also get fined the more they get. It's the only way to strike back and hopefully put them out of business.

Dead giveaway is that its not a secure site. address is http, a secure site is https. Coupled with the fact that I too received random flirts and what not, when I didn't even have a picture. (Another giveaway as I could not upload from my ipad) I would only get flirts and such when I was logged in, Otherwise... dead silence. Total scam. Thank Buddha I didn't spent any money.

i agree, i kept all the records of my transactions. theyre credit card scammers. GCruise and Epoch stole my money. They don't acknowledge that they committed an error despite the auto-notification emails sent to me showing :
1) the date, hours of joining the site,
2) the date, hours they charged my card for the full amount before the trial ended &
3) the date, hours of my early cancellation before the trial ended
Epoch does not even acknowledge any of my emails. And each time I respond to GCruise staff email, some Mark guy keep responding I should contact Epoch for all billing concerns. He didnt even read the chain of messages. I wonder how much they've scammed already.

I was on Grindr and some guy contacted me for a private group for group sex. Then we exchanged emails. The whole process went for a while that made this thing sound so legitimate. Then he asked me to pay membership fee on this website to become a member of that sex group. This ### even used a celebrity's pictures as his own. Then I became very skeptical and searched online. Sure enough, the whole thing is just a smartly designed scam. Avoid this website and any websites that transfer to this one automatically.

This is exactly what has just happened to me last night. A guy on Grindr was offering the same thing. I very naively ended up signing up to Gcruise. I have paid $9.95, I am trying to get out of it now but don’t know how, any advise please? Really worried about this 😢 x

Thank you very much. Just like @stephensherrington I was contacted on Grindr and went through the whole interview process. He just sent me the logon process which included the gcruise website. I always check in google for scam reports and found this site. Thank you all for this thread. It helped me from being a victim.

Someone contacted on Grindr to join a sex group and asked me to pay membership fee for this website to become a member of that sex group. And thisperson used pictures of a celebrity and claim its his. Very smart trick! But hey, I am not falling for that stuff!

Have received 19 invitations from Grindr members all asking me to send an email (to different email addresses) to get info on a sex orgy membership site. First email I sent led me through the same "interview" process and then voila - sent me a link to sign up for Gcruise (their "partner site").

Have subsequently reported each Grindr member who sent the invitations to me to Grindr for solicitation of money.

Scammers are out there everywhere

I just went through the interview today. Looked legit until the registration link led me to the site. I was hesitant to share my CC details. Good thing I saw this review. You guys saved me! THanks
