A gorgeous young girl who picks out my profile on the site Tagged without me having any picture nor any information about me than my name and age on it? Isn't that strange I thought? It is the wet dream of every young man to be contacted and invited by such I thought. That's why I immediately thought it could be a fraud.

On Tuesday the 14th August I've received an e-mail from a girl named Amanda Scott. She mailed me from the United States I live in Belgium and told me she will be visiting my area the coming weekend and she would like me to lead her in my city. At first I was very excited, but then my intuition screamed that such thing is incredible and could be a fraud. In the mail this Amanda Scott urged me to come visit her on the site of Friendorma where she can be found. To my surprise I saw that I have to become member, and thereby to pay, if I wanted to chat with her. Then of course I knew it was a scam. To report this fraud is not going to stop them cheating people, but I know it can help. Certainly if other people who experienced the same report that also. Then it can become a mighty weapon if ever someone decides to sue them.

Hello,

I do not believe that the website Friendorama.com is a scam. I don't have proof to back up my statement, however no one else seems to either. I became a member of Friendorama last year and have had some success. I paid for a membership, spoke to some friendly females, and dated one of them for a couple of weeks. I'm single right now, but that's simply because the relationship didn't work out.

I would like to point out that they do have a Basic membership where you can browse profiles for free. You don't have to pay them anything if you don't want to. I mean if you take the online dating scene pretty seriously, then definitely do what you have to to speak with other members, but don't fall for the fake profiles that are listed on each and every single dating site out there.

It's pretty simple. If you don't have a picture posted on your profile, or if you say you're a 50 yd old divorced man, don't expect the e-mail from the sexy 20yr old girl to be real. Just ignore it and look for something a little more realistic, like I did. You are obviously on the dating site to find a date. If it was so hard to find a date/relationship in real life, why do you expect it to be as easy as 1-2-3 online?

So why do you link them to adultfriendfinder?

Adultfriendfinder is owned by Various Inc and their domain registration gives complete contact information - unlike this friendorama site.

Why do you associate this friendorama to Various Inc.?

All of the websites operated by Various Inc clearly state that near the bottom of the website home page.

I'm using this friendorama normally and i was able to read mails and flirts.

One fine day i got a new mail. I wanted to read that.. What the hell??

I was redirected to a upgrade membership page.

There was not even an option to do it later.

I don't know where this attrocity will end.

These social networks are supposed to be free with some basic plans.

If they can't give all for free, atleast reading n sending mails and tagging a person can be made free.

They can keep this online chat for premium users.

Hope somebody from that site reads this and does the needful.
