I signed up for a 2 day trial, they have ever since charged me a monthly subscription fee, why offer a 2 day trial, and then in the small print, terms and conditions, say that you are going to charge on a monthly basis, its a complete scam!

it is FAR worse then you can imagine... STATED over 5, 000, 000 members.. most are so old they have not visited the site in over a year or more... the women in the chat room (most of them) are frauds as well... they show 40 to 80, 000 people online.. yet no more than 20 people in ALL of their chat rooms... FEW women will ever go off-site... meaning no Yahoo or phone.. in 6 months on that site I went OFF site with 2 and 99 percent of the men I have spo9ken to have never gotten any women to go off site... YES ULUST is a FRAUD... The same man answers Customer service phone all the time.. they don't protect chaters from fraud or abuse, they refuse to answer any e-mails questioning their statistics of membership or online people.. the entire site looks like a fraud to me.

Yeah, I have some of my own tests on this site and I'll have to say have about 90 % fake profiles. There are a few girls but most of them are made up. My theory is that the operator of the site sits around all day using pictures of women that he finds online to make up profiles and lure the hard working men into setting up an account automatically billed each month. I ran a series of tests about 4 or 5 years ago on some other sites and found one very alluring profile that stood out to me. This time on Ulust.com I found the very same profile. That was all the proof I needed. The other comments were all right. The site claims to have live support but it the same person every time.

I was just reading the entire!terms and agreement's section for ULust and coudn't find anything red flag like, that said for entertainment purposes etc, like AFF and that peice of s--t AmatureMatch(where they arrogantly claim it's all fake and your Norton from the Honeymooner's doffy if you send us your money!)Terms and agreement's seem to be up to par and they seem to be responsible?(am I reaching for straws or had one to many at happy hour?)Where do the hundreds of pics come from?These girls actually look real(unlike AM for the most part)like they posed to post it on the site.This has always been my big mystery.Where do these regular looking girl pics come from?You can't find these homegrown pic's floating about on the internet!No i'm serious every site has dozens and dozens of pics of girls that for the most part look like genuine.You can't steal these kinds of pics.Somewhat like telemarketing companies do.They sell lotts or mailing lists(lott's, like not as in lots and lots) of names but instead pics these are insider pics I suspect within the Webmaster sex date site community!?Where do they get these pics?I'm bugged and curious about this!Someone out there can you help?And please don't simplify it or insults intelligences with"they get them off the internet/steal them"It's a differen't animal! I just read up there that 90% of the pics and profiles are fake?Of course I do my homework beforehand and will never send in a dime, for a meezley what ever trial offer or what ever until I get some postive feed back not generated by the folks at Ulust itself.AM is a virus itself or should I say a spiderweb for uneducated?Start always on these feedback pages!Google the name of the site and type in feedback or scams/ripoffs.That is what I did here and I was really hoping to find someggodnews.Ulust didn't bombard me with messages right off the bat and the couple that did e-mail me were 30 something which is a sign of legit, the older Cougars do want the action.So i'm on the fence.Your comment's appreciated much.Thank's Cat's..."ScrappyPappy"

If you think about it long and hard you will notice that when one of these type websites are just starting up where would you start if you didn't have real members? How would you attract members to your site? When you start thinking in these terms, then you begin to realize that even though it is starting to look like a real site it's still in it's infancy. So pictures are gathered together and yes, fake profiles are developed to attract you into the site. Then once real people start signing up and making both profiles and payments then you are matched up with who ever is available at the time. When more people join, the profiles grow and the fake ones start to be removed one by one and replaced by real members.
It's an old advertising gimmic used everyday all over the world called "bait and switch, " like let's say Best Buy advertises a Flat Screen TV 50 inch for $799.00 and they say limited quantity so hurry in. 50 people may rush into the store to buy that TV yet the store only had two in stock and by the time you got there those two were sold out already. Since you are already there, the salespeople try to sell you a more expensive TV. The trick of the gimmic was to get more people into the store. I have only shopped at Best Buy once and I'll never shop there again. I had bought some software that was damaged and would not load on my computer at all. I took it back with the receipt and I was told that I had to send the software to the manufacturing company along with my original receipt and wait for them to send back the working software or for a refund. It's been seven years and I haven't heard a word about a refund nor about the software. And since I sent in the original receipt, I now can't prove that I even bought the software. Without the receipt, I can not take action against Best Buy either. Yeah I got screwed big time over $80.00 worth of software.
Ulust.com is somewhat like the porno sites, there is no such thing as a three day trail.
There is only one way around this sort of rip off and that is to send in a money order stating that you want the two or three day trail and since you don't give them your bank account number, they will either accept it or decline it. Here's the proof, if they accept it and you get your two day trail, then it's legitimate, but if they decline the money order, they are not legitimate. It's the easiest test that I know of. I only use my credit cards on companies that I trust completely. The first time I deal with any online company, I insist that I must send a money order so they have to give you a physical address instead of anonline web address. Any legitimate company will give you that information if you explain that you do not have a bank account at this time. Always look for the "Contact Us, " and email them for the information expressing to them that you want to make a purchase from them and they will glady assist you.

My problem is that woman or "girls" are men in Africa! They show pictures, give you their private e-mail, say they love you. And guess what? They need to cash some money orders! Sounds like the usual scam! Plenty of Fish is 100% Free

These sites are all the same and many are owned by the same company. DON'T EVERGIVE CC INFO TO THESE CLOWNS. They often say it's to verify age. BULL! There are even disclaimers in fine print at bottom of page on many that say the pictures are not necessarily real members!..You are better off browsing MySpace, where it is possible to actually hook up. I just signed up as free member on Ulust and in an hour even without a pic or a profile I had four different "hotties" emailing me. Of course I have to upgrade (pay) to actually talk with them. A lot of these hot pics are culled from free porn sites...so Run Will Robinson Run!

i checkd out ulust and also thought it was a scam. lot of people said to be there in your home town, i doubt that. there was about 100 girls listed for my area. now, i tried to contact at least 60 of them and maybe got a reply from two whom never wanted to meet. some of them i thought that it could of been the same person going on same type of mannerism with words. i'm an attractive person with some money and have no problem getn some. tried to find someone that is like minded instead of wasting my time at the bars to find out that that girl is lame. and also you see a lot of out dated members filling up space. there is another site that is the same way---sexplaycam.. would like to help expose these frauds. would benefit in getn rid of spam spreaders also

I DO REAL RESEARCH FOR A LIVING SO I CAN HONESYLY TELL YOU THIS SITE IS ONLY

2 % REALITY AND 98 % PHOTO BAIT TO GET YOU TO INTERACT AND PAY A MEMBERSHIP WITH AN UPHILL BATTLE TO MEEET REAL WOMEN OF ANY AGE.

IF AND WHEN YOU CONTACT A WOMAN THERE IS NO VERIFIABLE WAY OF TELLING WHO YOU ARE TALKING TO AT THE OTHER END AS EVEN ON P.O.F. OR MYSPACE OR ANYWHERE ELSE EXAMPLE ; I GIVE MY PHONE NUMBER SO IF SOMEONE REAL WANTS TO TALK THEY CAN CALL ME FOR REAL CONTACT AND I CAN DETECT REALITY FROM FRAUDSTERS
HERE THEY WANT YOU TO PAY FOR HOPE AND NO REAL SATISFACTION TO DO A LOT OF WORK TO TRY TO MEET VAGUELY DESCRIBED PHOTOS OF PEOPLE THAT MAY NOT EVEN EXSIST == BUT THERE UP THERE ANYWAY TO FILL IN LOTS OF GAPS!

THINK HARD ABOUT YOUR ACTIONS BEFORE EVER PROCEEDING WITH ANY COMPANY ONLINE WITH LONG VAGUE LEGAL GUARANTEES OF NOTHING!

i have also been pulled into the ULUST hype. i have tried several memberships to find the real girl. this is what i have found . 90% of the women are fake, 100% of the women are not who they claim to be or are from where they claim to be from. to add insult to injury all i mean all the women i have talked to have demanded money and we are not talking a few dollars instead we are talking in the high hundreds of dollars they demand a western union to be sent to a brother uncle or cusion of theres never to them personally. yes thats right you never get thier personal info. i have tried every trick to get personal info and even demanded it to no avail when i asked if they want to meet well guess what ya thats right they demand big money to be western unioned to this mystery person so they can buy the ticket i was never allowed to and was meet with strong words and oppositionn when i tried to demand to buy that ticket so i never did sure they promised love and every thing that comes with it and when i didnt deliver they cussed and then left. so i want to know is there a way to close that site down

I just ploppped down for the 3 month membership on Ulust.com and after less than a week I can clearly see that is a serious fraud! Why so many seriously hot women? Where are the average looking girls? Ridiculous one line replies that are so cold and fake it's not even funny. Anyone who has interacted on-line for a while can tell that these responses are fake. Seriously this site is a joke!

Guess what guys? They scam us girls on the site, too. I'm one of their "available girls" who never signed on to be available! The site hires us to be performers like on any other webcam site-- WE ARE NOT TOLD IT'S A DATING SITE. Now us girls have to put up with abusive guys who are blaming US for not wanting to meet with them in real life, they think we're part of the fraud! We're not, we were frauded just like you! And most of us won't be seeing the salary the site promised us because they only pay a max of 8 performers at a time, but they'll let any amount of girls log on thinking they'll be paid, then only pay 8 of them! This site owes me a paycheck! Liars!

I agree with nearly everything said here, even though most of it is a couple of year out of date. however nothing has changed.
I have just watched a panorama program on the BBC, they was checking out some of the to dating sites, and even spoke to some people that have worked for them, and they said the same kind of things as you have all said on this Blog... there are some real people on the the sights, but a lot are all made up... so you take your chances...
But any one looking don't give up. just keep a tight hold of your money...

I don't know what's worse, the inability to find a site that's legitimate or the recommendation sites that are suppose to give accurate help! Some say the site is a scam. Some say the site is on the level. I think the internet is one of the most dangerous inventions devised by man. The whole country is corrupt. 90% of the media is DNC fake news. The government is headed towards an oligarchy. The president of Ukraine is as bad as Putin, etc. etc. etc.
