Zoosk is a ripoff. Going month to month, Zoosk is TRIPLE what Singlesnet is, and singlesnet let you have all the features for a few weeks, and you can cancel any time. The TV ads are very very very misleading.

Sure it is free. You just cannot do anything on it without paying exhorbitant money.

They will not allow you to put any identifiers on, teasing you, so you cannot read your emails. I am getting out, if they let me. I read on another website you have to pay them to cancel your membership.

You want a site just as good and 100% FREE? Better matches even? Go to OKCupid.com . Millions there, too.

Bottom line, do not believe everything you hear. On facebook there are pages and pages on Zoosk page congratulating all these couples who are engaged. I do not believe it.

It amazing this site is in business and that facebook is a partner with them. This company is purely in it for the money and offers it members nothing to take advantage off. Please, everyone boycott it and maybe there will be change when there are no users left on the dam thing. No support for basic users as if there not good enough, those basic user if treated right might actually paid for membership. And then there bs scanning program (my guess gender basis) does not allow you to post fb, but yet it allows others. What a load of horseshit, is that another acceptable term of paying money to be on the site.

I think this company is very greedy, After all they don’t do anything that facebook do for free, but charge you $24 a month! On top of that they censor your emails to make sure your not giving out your facebook address. It used to be good value a few years ago but greed has taken over!

“some gifts are 750 coins, which could cost at the cheapest rate .106 cents per coin” which if you do the math is 80 cents… NOT 80 dollars.

I’m not a zoosk member but I just wanted to point out the typo before more people bought into the rant without checking the math themselves.

I couldn’t Agree more with Jonathan. Everything he said is true. The worst thing is there is no come back with the organisers. I was cut off without explanation but no doubt they will still try to continue my membership after the few months are up from my initial membership and I am now going to contact my bank to ensure zoosk can’t extract any more money from me. Nothing but a big scam. Do not waste your time!

wow. sounds like a rip-off. I was going to check it out but never mind. Im not even going to waste my time.

Thanks for taking the time to review and post. You never know how many people you help.

Hey- why dont you start a “I Hate Zoosk Blog” or “Zoosk is a rip-off” blog. There are probaby thousands and thousands of you. Throw some ads up of BETTER services after expolring their payment terms & co. Become an affiliate of them and make some quick money….cha-ching!!!
Capitalize on that crappy ass service.

Zoosk can be a bit of a rip off. You have to be very carful if you have premium membership as it will automatically renew and you will be charged. On most sites that have a membership you can cancel on the same day that you signed up and the benefits of you membership will continue until the date expires. Not so with Zoosk: By canceling your premium membership now, you immediately forfeit all your premium membership benefits. If you wish to continue taking advantage of premium membership benefits before the next payment is due, cancel at a later time (before the next payment is due.) So you have to remember to cancel as close as possible to the cut off date. This is outrageous; I view it as a scam. Zoosk says this about it: We hate worrying about paying bills as much as you do. That’s why we automatically renew your membership so you have one less thing to worry about. Remember that you can always cancel your membership by visiting the settings page and if you are paying via PayPal, it is a one time charge and will not automatically renew. The above statement from Zoosk is crap, it is only another way to extract money in a sneaky way, but they can not do it with pay pal for technical reasons, if they could they would. They could easily change it so benefits of your membership will continue until the date expires, but they do not as extraction money from you in anyway possible is the goal. The other things to look out for is coins, it will top up automatically if you don’t turn the function off. Zoosk should have the auto-refill set at off, so it you wish you can turn it on. Zoosk say this: We want to make it easy for you to send gifts, unlock conversations, or send a special delivery to that special Zoosker. That’s why we offer the option to automatically refill your Coins balance when it reaches 10 or less, so you have one less thing to worry about. Remember that you can always un-check this option when you purchase Coins by credit card, or by visiting Settings, and then Coins to turn this option off after your purchase. If you are paying for Coins via PayPal or bank transfer, it is a one-time charge and will not automatically refill. One less thing to worry about, what crap, they are hoping you will not notice that you have to turn it off. The price of gifts is outrageous, some gifts are 750 coins, which could cost at the cheapest rate .106 cents per coin would be 750 x .01067= $80. At the high end it would be 750 x.1578= $118.42 that’s eighty dollars for a virtual gift at the cheapest rate. How zoosk can justify such an outrageous price for a virtual gift is beyond me. Its just click spend money, click spend more money. On premium membership all gifts should be free, and charging up to $1.58 for delivery conformation and special delivery up to $2.37 is another rip off. In short Zoosk is a money extraction machine. I sent them an email asking to explain but all I got back from them was a copy paste answer, which did not answer ANY of my questions.

Its metoric rise probably has something to do with those “big boob” advertisement banners they stick everywhere. Gawd, have ya seen those things!?!?
