The Adult Dating Site Scam

Adult Friend Finder is one of the most visited commercial websites on the internet an online sex and swinger personals community now accommodating more than 20 million members worldwide. the basic membership is free but you need to upgrade your account to contact or reply to people supposedly trying to contact you.

Like many online dating and personals websites, Adult Friend Finder has also been accused of scams and online Phishing, a criminal activity that

uses social engineering techniques. A great number of people have reported that owners of this popular website have been deceiving the public by creating and posting fake profiles with photographs of beautiful and attractive women, in order to draw visitors.The innocent visitors can be directed to porn sites where, each click that directs the visitor to a porn site will generate advertising revenue for the dating site. More seriously an 'advance fee fraud' is also common place on this type of site, the target is convinced to advance small sums for future gain.  .
 
The most recent criticism comes from people who claim to have been fooled into purchasing full membership by the Adult Friend Finder scam, which uses "decoys" in the chat rooms. According to witnesses, these chat room decoys operate by posing as real people to initiate a continuous conversation with their mark. Once a potential victim has been identified, he/she would then be coaxed into purchasing or upgrading into full membership to access all of the sites features.

The use of decoys to encourage full membership is reported to be common place on this type of site, The company will send you text messages or email communications from people apparently interested in your profile.To contact them and further the conversation you need to be a fully paid up member. The odd thing is this... it has been noticed by many people that they all seem to get the same enticing enquiries from the same interested parties. This seems to suggest that the communications are fraudulent and simply their to encourage you to pay for membership.
