We’ve had some readers who visit our site for scam reports ask about adultfriendfinder and whether or not it really works or if its actually some kind of scam.
Well I can safely say that it is not a scam. The site has been around for a very long time and they have a lot of subscribers, in fact they are the largest online dating adult site. There are also no reports of them scamming subscribers with out of the blue credit card charges or overcharging or anything like that.
But, if you think you can just sign up and instantly hook up with someone, that’s just not the case, unless of course you are a halfway decent looking woman. Then it’s easy. But if you are just a regular looking guy then you are going to need some skills in conversing online in order to get someone to meet.
If some of their advertising is misleading and makes you think anyone that signs up will be hooking up like a madman then I would say its just misleading but you definetly have a chance of meeting someone there.

You can also create a profile and do some limited browsing around for free. They charge I believe $20 to try it for a month if you want full access to contact other members and test your skills!
You’ve probably seen the vistaprint ads online on the net before claiming to offer 250 free business cards and wondered if its a scam or not. It’s actually not a scam but you do have to be a little careful.
First, the offer is not completely free, you do have to pay for shipping and handling, which is usually around 7-8 dollars, but they state that upfront and its on your bill when you checkout.
I’ve actually ordered the cards before and they turn out really nice, and they have some nice professional templates you can choose from. But you do have to be careful when going through the checkout process that you make sure you check or uncheck all the little extra boxes to make sure you are not signing up for any other services. You just gotta be careful is all.
Perhaps the most insidious and simple facebook scam is the phishing scam from facebook. Since pretty much everyone has a facebook account these days its pretty easy for spammers to get people to notice emails from facebook. The tricky part is that facebook does send its users emails, emails about friend adds, emails about messages and so on.
What spammers do is also send emails that mimic these emails or they send you a email about some kind of update where you can click on a link to login and update your information. You NEVER need to do this. If you click on a link to get to facebook that is in the email you will not be taken to your facebook account but to another site that looks like facebook but is designed to only steal your information. Any info you enter on this site you will be stolen from you.
What you can do is always go to facebook directly via your browser. Just open up another tab and type in the facebook url to access your account, that way you can’t fall into the trap of entering a fake site.
