This site is a total scam even the cc company had issues trying to get my $ back. I should have listened when the cc company said dangerous. Please do not waste your $$ The pictures are from Flicker and other sites when I checked. Such BS and the same answers from all the women. I do not have time to meet after 7 months. I stayed as I bought a lot of credits, Same people gave different answers to the same question on multiple occasions and did not know the geography of where they live. HELLO??
Also do not message me if you live 600 km away and do not drive. I have received AI answers from several The money goes to an off shore company and is channeled though several different places Save you heart and your wallet

I joined Friends-With-Benefits.com…

I joined Friends-With-Benefits.com a while ago, excited by the idea of a casual dating platform that seemed perfect for connecting with like-minded people looking for no-strings-attached fun. At first, I was pretty impressed – there were plenty of girls to chat with, and the site seemed active with lots of profiles. It wasn’t difficult to start a conversation, and I found the messaging system to be smooth and easy to use.
However, after spending some time on the platform, I began to notice a pattern. While there were plenty of girls to chat with, most of them seemed more interested in casual online conversations than actually meeting up in real life. It was fun at first, but after a while, I realized that finding someone for a real-life encounter was tougher than expected. Despite having lots of chats and some flirtatious exchanges, I didn’t manage to meet anyone face-to-face.
That being said, Friends-With-Benefits.com might be a good fit if you're looking for online chatting and making connections virtually. But if you're hoping to take things offline and meet up, the chances might not be as high as you'd expect.
For those who are really serious about meeting someone in person and getting laid, I recommend checking out CasualSexOnly.com. In my experience, it has more users who are genuinely interested in arranging real-life encounters rather than just chatting online. Overall, if you're after quick results and face-to-face fun, CasualSexOnly.com is a solid alternative to consider.

SCAM

A complete scam.I experienced this type of thing before.All they are doing is selling phone credit at a massive profits .It is probably done by A1 .Or if these people are real that are just selling gullible people a fantasy.I spent E30 on this a few years ago before I copped on.I recognise the old line “ Hi handsome”.Another one said my profile was very interesting-I have nothing on my profile.Very interesting indeed.When you try for a date here’s the get out clause” I have chores to do” or “Time is against us”

Something very suspicious…

There seems to be something very suspicious about this website and how they operate. Their Terms state that you cannot publish your personal details in your Description, however, you can apparently publish your email address and/or phone number in a direct message to another person ( Which you can only do if you have a paid plan). If you wish to publish your email address you would need to create spaces between each character so that their software does not flag it (which was a recommendation from their support team), and if you wish to publish your phone number you would have to do it as written words rather than numerical numbers (such as zero, four, zero, eight, etc.). According to their support team it takes up to 30 hours for your personal description to be reviewed and then published. I found this not to be true. Even though they told me that my description was published it was not visible after 30 hours. Nor was it visible after my contact with support telling them that it was not visible. They even assured me that it was visible when it was not.

Once you have paid for a plan, only then can you send an "ice breaker" or a message, and you get one free ice breaker per day (with a paid plan). The cheapest plan was AUD $49 for 200 credits (as of August 2024), requiring 10 credits per message, so that would be a total of 20 messages. I wrote in my description (that never got published) stating that if a person was serious not to bother sending icebreakers and only send a message. My intention was to publish my phone number in messages to 20 separate people, but since they never published my description I did not enter into a paid plan.

I received a number of messages from different people. Even multiple messages from apparently legitimate, keen people, but then I thought: "Hold on a minute, if these people are actually keen to speak with me and/or meet with me, then why are they only sending messages?" Personally I cannot see a problem handing out my phone number to someone because if they harass you you can simply block their number (or if you're really concerned about handing out your actual phone number, simply go and buy a $2 SIM card and use that number/sim as your contact number for this and/or any similar website). So why did no one offer their number? Well I think the reason for that is that certain "apparent" people (especially the ones with photos of themselves) may be fake, as in the company generating them in order to get you to send messages so they can make money from it. The way I see it is that if I was keen to communicate with someone I would want to speak to them over the phone first to establish if there was any mutual interest, before meeting someone in person in a public place.

I had one "apparent lady", with a photo, contact me a few times trying to get me to "speak"/chat with her. The first message was the contact message, requesting that we chat. The second message was one stating that she hoped she was not annoying me by sending a second message. The third message was one where she stated she was concerned about wasting her time and her money sending me messages, and it was this last message that gave me the clue that all she wanted to do was chat. Think about it... If you really wanted to speak with someone why wouldn't you want to speak on the phone. Out of maybe a dozen people who contacted me whether that was with an "ice breaker" or a message, no one offered to speak with me over the phone....

I suggest not wasting your money!

I chatted to Twixies and Suprise mee…

I chatted to Twixies and Suprise mee for a few weeks but started to feel I was not always chatting to the same person they had a loose identity for each profile but they would never agree to catch up always finding a reason not to and to only use this site. It’s clever but slowly unravels over time and is a scam and should be closed or made to state clearly it’s just a flirt site. Avoid

FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS - FAKE SITE

As per EVERYONE else. Got scammed. No real people to meet. I believe there is a room full of admin one group researching pictures of people to profile as possible dates and the other responding falsely to users continually leading them on. I caught them out by finding pictures of the woman messaging me on a Russian Milf website! They keep leading you on, drip feeding odd pictures. Excuse after excuse not to meet. They asked about going for a meal.. I offered every type of food, different parts of city and any day/time to try and stop them getting out of it. Still had excuse - can't get out at dinner time because they eat dinner with co workers, can't get at night yet as school holidays and work full time. After this I found another picture on the web they had not sent me and chose to send it back to them saying "i have more pics of you if you want? Please refund me and close my account" Bizarre I never heard from this woman again. But i still kept getting messages from other fake profiles. These people need taking down and sending to prison, they must be millionaires from this.

FWB should be exposed for its criminal activities

I gave FWB only one star as I couldn’t give anything less. This company claims to be a dating app but it is nothing of the sort. A lot of the profiles are false with the sole purpose of extracting money from the real people who are looking for friendship and possible romance. Everythng is conducted by text so you can never prove whether the person you are chatting to is legitimate. The business model is very clever, it’s a cash cow where physical contact with a member is impossible. Any attempt to swop personal information is scrambled.
The lady I was chatting with was claiming to be a hotel manager she was divorced and lonely but was unable to provide a selfie because she couldn’t afford a smart phone she was poor. Other woman I made contact made similar excuses. They couldn’t meet up because they weren’t safe or comfortable to meet up so it meant you have to stay on the app and purchase more credits. Even chatting on WhatsApp was rejected as being unsafe. My advice is save your money and try and a real person

Stay away n save ur money because it's…

Stay away n save ur money because it's a total scam. How else do u have 20+ women blow u up trying to get u to message them. No matter what time of day or nite, Even 4am, if u send a message u can expect a computer generated response back asking u questions but no answers to anything u asked. Stupid responses to get u to respond. Even saying why did u sent ur message 3x, so stupid. Not 1 has proven to be real.

One big scam all they do is just want…

One big scam all they do is just want to keep messaging on this site it cost money every message you sent cost money. They never give you the number and it’s always the same answer. I don’t trust you. I need to trust you. We need to keep talking here and then you see her nude photos when you put without a shirt, they don’t let you post that.
