Bill, a friend from Bethel Park,  alerted me to this online dating scam. He received winks from an attractive woman on match.com telling him to look for her on another site (see Middle-Aged Men Beware Part 1.) He was curious and went to the site, but did not create a profile. He still got tons of winks and emails from women there. He did a bit of research and found the following thread: Subject: Scam alert….avoid Heartdetectives.com

Possibly every one knows about this scam except me. You can create a free profile then they send fake responses to your mailbox. Naturally to read these teasers you have to pay a fee to join. Once the fee is paid all correspondence ceases and your left feeling like a chump. Please BEWARE of Heartdetectives.com it is a total sham.

These scammers are posting bogus profiles on Match.com — referring you to write to them at “meet fun singles,” which is “meetfunsingles.com”, a sister site to Heartdetectives. I’m reporting them to Match.com customer services as I come across them, or when they allegedly “wink” at me. These scammers are evil

Ah, poop. I had a feeling I’d been had. Wish I’d found this site earlier… but the first post about this scam occured the day I signed up for it. I’m a very good computer guru, and I got readily had by this one. Same scenario as the first posting, but I was also on another site at the time when I was contacted by another interested person… who mentioned that they use “Seek True Love.” (Same site; different name.) I probably wouldn’t have touched this site with a 10 foot cattle prod, except that “someone” else had recommended it. I’m such a fool for love.

Yea, they suck for sure. I was on LoveAccess, which isn’t bad, and this chick emailed me. Should have seen it coming cuz the email said “I’m also on heartdetectives so try me there is this doesn’t work out” duh, what a dupe. Anyway, plentyoffish.com is a kickass site, and totally free. That’s where I’m staying from now on, in the free zone. Between the russain scams and the date site scams, this is starting to feel like real dating.

Likewise scammed, tempted beyond reason, but hesitated long enough to find this site. Match caught the embedded message & deleted that part of it today, several days later. I should have known something was up when that wink appeared from a beautiful younger woman, whose address on Match changed within the week to out-of-state.By: MeI just got a couple of emails from Heart Detectives saying I had a flirt and a new email, the only thing is that I have never created a profile on this site. I requested my user ID and password and what they sent me is an ID and password I use. Anyone know what other sites they affiliated with? The only place I use that ID and password is on yahoo. Anyone have any ideas?

just recieved an email from a girl, and I mean a good looking girl with all the same interests as me….blew me away. She said…if you dont find me here I’m always at meet funsingles.com. I almost took the bait but found this site at the same time I was trying to sign up for that site. It wouldn’t take any of my email addresses for the “free membership”. I was thinking still…who the hell is using my company emails for dating sites? then i read these complaints and it all makes sense. STAY AWAY FROM THESE FUCKERS

Ya… I had a membership there because I had about 12 emails waiting for me, and a few people emailed me more than once… I joined up, replied and never heard anything from anyone. Yet a week after replying, I got notifications that the same people are winking me…Why would people send me 2 emails, not reply to my email, and then later wink me? Makes no sense.
