The users then were forced to dispute the charge with their credit card company.
Many users also claimed that they did not get what they paid for. They complained that a lot of matches they got were from users who didn’t have any pictures in their profiles and many even exceeded their preferred distance for their matches. And users were also not happy that they could not edit their default search parameters. And the matches they got didn’t even bother replying to their messages.
Users also complained about the lack of moderation of user profiles on the platform. They claim to have encountered a lot of fake profiles and bots along with a lot of inactive users. And many of such users even tried scamming their matches for money. They also complained about how Zoosk lures you by showing that people are interested in you but it doesn’t lead you anywhere when you click on the link to their profiles.
Many users also complained about having their accounts hacked or terminated with no real reason and without refunds.
