If you're looking for relationship with a beautiful woman – don't get your hopes up. InternationalCupid is full of hookers, and most of them want you to pay them upfront so they can just stand you up or disappear from the site. Nowadays, Ukrainian girls are more honest, I've been meeting them via J7Love.com
I've never had a problem meeting them both online and offline and eventually I started dating with one girl. It's very difficult to find a reputable and trusted international dating site these days. InternationalCupid turned out to be money scam and utter drivel.
A pack of crooks sends you sexy messages from fake profiles just to keep you hooked. There are no real people behind these messages. They like to overcharge you for the features you never authorized. I regret wasting money on InternationalCupid, just because I wanted to expand my search. If you're well off, you don't seek better - it's a good rule for the dating sites! And the second rule of thumb is: if it quacks like a duck it's a duck.
I've used InternationalCupid twice now with a 3-month subscription—and this second time was ten times worse. First, the pay structure is a joke. Women can send virtual gifts like flowers or candy for free. Men? You tap it by accident on mobile, and poof—you just wasted it. No undo, no confirmation, no refund. Second, the scammers are everywhere. Even verified accounts are fake. They message you, move the chat to WhatsApp or Telegram, then eventually ask for money. Reverse image search can help—but it SHOULDN'T BE MY JOB to keep reporting obvious fake accounts, only to see them still active a week later. That's ridiculous. I've also tried their other sites like AsianCupid and EuroCupid. Guess what? Same story: either filled with scammers or completely inactive, because everyone just migrates to InternationalCupid. And if you want to try those other branches? YOU HAVE TO PAY AGAIN. Separate subscriptions for each site. This whole setup feels predatory and broken. Save your time, money, and emotional energy.
It's a disgusting fraud, a well thought-out scam. The bottom line of this deceit is that no lady is really interested in you, all they do is try to rip you off and milk you out of your hard-earned money. 'm still terrified to recall my experience with InternationalCupid. I lost a lot of money. I hope my review helps to prevent people from making the same mistake.
I have been on International Cupid for a while, on and off, maybe something like 4 years or so. When I first joined, it was pretty good with few scammers, but the majority of people were real, so it was not that big of a deal that you ran into a fake profile once in a while. Also if you saw a fake profile and reported it, almost within a day or 2 the profile would be checked and deleted. That was great because you knew that they were trying to keep the fake profiles off their site. All I would do is click on the photo and use google lens and you would fill the report member on their page add the links and why you think they were scammers and done. But now it is almost all fake profiles and if you report the profile and send evidence like someone using a celebrities pic or a pornstars pic which most scammers do, they wont remove it. I have on my blocked list and reported page close to 300 women that I have reported and their profiles are still up. I basically have done their job for them and identified a ton of scammers but nothing. I did write them and they sent a weak response which is a sign that they will not do anything about it. Plus they want to charge like $47.00 USD and up to join for a month at the gold membership which is the lowest. NOOO WAY! Not even worth it for what you get. So do not waste your time or money as all of them are the same and I have been on a bunch not all paying but just to check out. I did have memberships on International Cupid, Dominican Cupid and Filipino Cupid nothing long term just a month and get another one once I found someone I wanted to speak with. SO save your money because International Cupid and all its sites are total crap! They will basically steal your money while you deal with the tons of scammers and fake pictures. It sucks because it use to be a pretty good site.
99% of the new users are fake, do a reverse image search and find out that most of the photographs are stolen from somewhere else Almost every new user wants your WhatsApp number or email address which is a sure sign of a scam. Reporting these on the website does absolutely NOTHING. If you want to throw away your money this is the place to do it.
Completely saturated with fake profiles. More recently, they are not even trying to pretend to not be fake. I will get messages with a pic of a 20year old woman, and a profile that says 50yo. Nonsense AI generated filler text, and random selections (yes, you are bald, 6'2" and 96 lbs -- not unless you have cancer, dude). This has gotten worse over the years. You just get in the habit of deleting a page full of fake profile "likes" every day. Recently, I did the math on it: 99.5% are certifiable fake/scammer accounts. The remaining 0.5% are possibly still scammers, but not easily certifiable. There ARE real people here, you will meet, on average, one per year. Most of those people are not interested in moving from their home countries. A complete waste of money. The site owners will do absolutely nothing now to block or remove fake profiles.
You will get tons of messages from all over the world. The women happen to be beautiful. When you connect with them on WhatsApp oranother form of communication. Ask them to video chat or talk on the phone. The excuses start flowing. Camera isn't working they need money for-the Internet. They never wanna talk live or video chat big red flag. Always ask for them to send a selfie with either your name or some sort of pose to verify their identity. And they come up with thousands of excuses. Horrible website do not apply. You've been warn
They have always had a lot of fakes, but now the number of fakes is simply astonishing. You can write hundreds of messages and get one or two one-line-nonsense kind of replies. I've had enough of it and searched further. Don't be suckered in by InternationalCupid! They have taken to misleading their customers! There is a serious degradation in the quality of people. All they do is make up fake profiles to attract more unsuspecting users.
I've been using this site on and off since the mid-2000s (yes, TWENTY YEARS!), back from the days it was called MyForeignBride. During this time I communicated with numerous women, of whom I met four in real life, and three of whom became girlfriends while the fourth has been a friend for five years and counting. The site has recently gone downhill, however, and hard.
In the early days the place was replete with Filipinas, who were not my target demographic, but they have since thinned out considerably. Their place has been taken by Africans, especially Kenyans and Ugandans, who I also have no interest in. There is also a surge in supposedly Chinese women, though most likely bots, supposedly living all over the world, who demand your WhatsApp number in the very first (copy-and-pasted) spam message. Then there are the supposed "Ukrainians," also likely bots, who try to harvest members' email addresses.
The biggest problem is that people (women, and probably men) do not read profiles. They just go off of...pictures, I guess(?)..., and spam hundreds of guys with likes and with vapid "hi" and "hello handsome" messages. There is NO meaningful filter or other facility you can use to just be left alone by such members as well as those who otherwise fail to meet your basic requirements. Even with the messages filter the site has, the counter still includes messages sent by members you specifically excluded.
Basically, you are going to spend HOURS sifting through and deleting unwanted likes and messages from women form the third world, those who are outside your age range, those without a photo, etc.
The reason for my low rating of this site, therefore, is lack of a robust filter that serves to block unwanted connections with members you have zero interest in. Another reason is that the site allows people to create basically empty profiles, i.e. Profiles get approved and published despite having ZERO information about a person beyond his/her age and location.
This is the last time I paid for membership of this site or any of its very, very many sister sites.
Signed up to try and meet a nice guy. Gave thoughtful answers to the question prompts and found a couple of guys who sounded promising to add to favourites. Then about an hour after sign up and a lot of time my profile was deleted for being suspicious. When I questioned it I was asked to not only provide a government issued ID but one of me holding it?! As if I'm giving that with my full name, address and date of birth and photo over email! My safety is a priority what a shame as I wanted to meet someone in the US and thought it was promising.
Don't ever put your money into this site, plenty of alternatives that are run by more serious people. My paid account was closed one day after i left a 1 star review at Trustpilot.
I'm not gonna call this a scam, but it's close.
- The subscriptions promising no ads are just bullcrap. I even have more ads now than before i paid for that crap, but apparently it's their own ads and that's somehow different. Deceptive marketing at best.
- On top of the "not ads", they also fill your inbox with daily nagging about buying their other products.
- Their mobil app has like 10% of the features from their website and it's buggy as hell with an extreme amounts of downtime.
- Like half the userbase is there just to beg for money, nothing else.
- Even though the place is filled with fake profiles, there are some real ones too. The problem is, most of them are just dumb people who clicked yes to try another one of cupid media's products and had their profile automatically created. Not like they actually fill in any information or even check the account further.
This is without doubt the worst online dating experience of them all.
PLEASE READ THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS HERE OR YOU WILL BE A VICTIM OF THIS "BUSINESS". There is no way in hell the 5 star reviews on Trustpilot and other review sites are real. But then again, cupid media uses bots for their own dating sites, so why wouldn't they do it here?
You expose yourself to rip off and harassment if you engage with this con site. When you discover that all profiles are fake and want to unsubscribe they won't let you do it. I found a legit site
MyUkrLady
And it has been really helpful. They have genuine women and their women are very beautiful and sweet in communication.
Don't engage with InternationalCupid and don't let them bait you into buying a membership, it's anything but a dating site! It's not suitable for those looking for serious relationship. Even if you want a girl for a night or for vacation InternationalCupid is useless money vacuum.
I received messages from NO ONE but fake profiles mainly from Africa and Asia - bots, disregarding all the preferences you set on your profile. Apparently no real person is on this page.
How they haven't been sued for fraud is beyond me.
I signed up with this site for a while.
Bunch of women out there seeking support and money help. A lot of women will text you trying to chat with you at the same time they chat with other members. And most of the time they are online available almost 24 hours I was wondering looks like they don't go to sleep. It's hard to get a woman seeking true intentions. I paid the money for the subscription but I do feel not satisfied.
The owner of this site Internationalcupid.com doing a good business $$$
Making the site successful for a lot of woman asking for money help.
Because we are members from western countries.
We can't even count the stupid messages coming from these asking about money. Because a bunch of messages everyday inbox.
That's why I'm saying headache site.
Some other women I met they just using the site for extra time not for serious intention
No make sense I did block a lot of members
Not only are the people on the site a scam, but also the people who run the site are also running the biggest scam. They pump in fake profiles and fake messages to get you to upgrade your account, and then you return messages only to find they are all fake accounts.
Every Gambian man is on this site, falling in love with you in two seconds flat, love bombing you, confessing their undying love for you even though they don't even know your name. It's hysterical! They see the USA or Europe and think money. I can't believe people actually pay for this site.
Site is full of fake profiles, moreover they remove profiles after taking subscription fees, they also done even answer messages or objections.
Within 5 minutes they ask you to contact them with google chat, skype or whatsapp. Only people with another agenda would do this... The website is full of those profiles!
I met a young woman of approximately 39 years old living in Sunny Isles Florida. She managed to lead me to believe she had no problems with a huge difference in age and she knew all my personal life. After leaving my vacation destination in Germany immediately to meet her in Florida. She lead me to believe she was wanting to be together and she asked me daily to buy her expensive gifts, dinners, large sums of money and even a car which is when I stopped. Two weeks into our shopping spree I confronted her in regards to our meeting and being together. She then explained that she really had no interest despite telling me otherwise until the day I said no more. Watch out for the blonde in Sunny Isles Florida. She's a shrewd goldigger who will say anything to take your money. She was dishonest and took thousands all while knowing she had no intention of discussing being together as the family she kept telling me she wanted to pursue. I was a total gentleman and it became very obvious she was playing me when she couldn't accept a kiss, yet had the nerve to expect a car. All while telling me she wanted this relationship which was obviously not true. What she did wasn't criminal, although it was extremely unethical and premeditated. Even her five year old child wanted to stay with me!

Answer: Dear Christina B. Please email us on [email protected] with your full names and member I. D
Answer: Unfortunately, the answer is "No." When I joined International Cupid - and they stated they have other member sites - I thought I could use my subscription to go to Filipino Cupid. NOPE! I was required to sign-up again. That to me is just wrong.
