ALTReviews of alt.com

Most are either men pretending to be a) A woman or b) a couple. The IM (instant messenger) does not work half the time. Be aware of the Auto renewal feature, this can be turned off in you account, best to check it is still 'off' regularly as mine mysteriously switched back to 'on' just before my account lapsed and they took payment from my account! In other words, avoid Alt and the sister company Adultfriendfinder as both are the same crap company.

Alt is not worth the money there might be 5% of the people on there that are real. I joined the site with a 6 month membership I really could only stand about 3 months before canceling. Every Mistress Dome that contacted me wanted money, yes one even sent me a list of 1200 dollars worth of equipment she wanted me to buy and even asked if I would do a Walmart money transfer. The fake profiles, scammers and even alt.com generating fake contact is really bad. There are others that abuse the posting of others and no one monitors it. I would not even recommend this site.

I was a member of alt.com for a few weeks. I was visiting my account almost daily. Then suddenly they banned me for no reason whatsoever. I wrote them a complaint mail and they said I engaged in inappropriate behavior and my account was deleted and I was banned. I asked them why. I don’t even have a photo there how can I be inappropriate? They said I was fraud whatever that means and even if I become a member again they would ban me without refund. I asked them why? What did I do? Do you have any proof of anything I did wrong? Are you banning me because I’m from Turkey? They say they don’t have to prove anything or explain why they are banning me and just that I’m banned. Awful, awful company.

Good points; 1. A very slick appearance, 2. The site is easy to use if you want to browse profiles, but with provisos I will detail below. Bad points; 1. Deliberate misinformation. I was lied to from the first time I used the site. At first Alt.com is initially presented as a free to use (which I did take with a grain of salt) way to contact like minded people for dating and social connections. This is not true, the free content includes setting up a profile and not much more. It is 100% useless as far as usability is concerned. 2. Continuously pressured to buy more products. At every point, which means basically most times I clicked the mouse, a large banner popped up informing me I needed to upgrade to Silver membership to proceed. I wanted to proceed and so I upgraded to a one month Silver membership, being informed that with Silver I could contact the people I was interested in and that I could navigate the site. But that was a lie also, often, perhaps 50 to 60 times in a twenty minute period of trying to navigate the site, I was presented with a banner telling me I was blocked and that I needed to upgrade to the Gold membership to be able to 'fully' utilise the website. As I had already spent money I wanted to see a result so I bought a one month extension for the gold membership. So at this point I was finally given the run of the website. But even then I was presented wit the option of upgrading any other profile I clicked on to full gold if thy were not already on Gold. I also found that the website is not very good, as far as content goes. Later on I was also pressured endlessly to renew my membership. See auto renew details below. 3. Poor content. Fetlife is far superior, with better options and content, and it has not cost me a cent to this day. There are some chat rooms but they are pretty much empty at all times. Sorry but one person in a room makes for very slim chat. A large number of profiles are honey pots set by petty criminals using imaged downloaded from porn sites and misleading text to lure in potential victims, see details below. 4. Petty criminals .Anther annoying thing is the amount of cheats, swindlers and thieves making fake profiles. I have been approached by numerous people wanting my money, usually by using deception, but on one occasion by using direct threats in a blackmail attempt. 5. Poor response to issues. Alt.com have been made aware of various incidents and issues but have declined to answer me or to actually acknowledge any of my messages. 6. Over billing. My final point concerns the one time with this website I was actually robbed. The online fraud department of my bank contacted me to tell me my credit card was in arrears and that there had been suspicious activity on my credit card. And when I checked my balance I found that I have been billed for over £200, or $260. I investigated my account and found I have been billed for the silver membership twice, also for the one month Gold extension I know I bought and another six month Gold membership starting at the same time I had no knowledge of. I have made the (whomever it concerns at this faceless company) relevant person aware of the situation, but Alt.com have declined to reply or to even acknowledge this situation. I have been more thorough investigating this website and after clicking through several pages in the account section I found a small box Alt.com had kindly re ticked for me, saying that I have asked them to auto-renew my membership(s)? I am disturbed by the way I have been deliberately misled and deceived and fleeced since I have joined this website and would never recommend it to anyone.

This is not a bitter "I didn't meet anybody" rating. Let me tell you why this site is b.s. I met someone and created a profile for her. She did not even have the password (this was part of our control games.) Shortly after creating her profile, my personal profile got a "wink" from hers. Obviously the system FALSELY creates "winks" to get people to purchase the higher level membership (so they can respond to the wink or message.) Also, she was often listed as "online" when she was not. There are also several fake profiles. The irony is that my sub (who submitted a "proof" photo and was a verified member) was kicked off the site for (I am guessing, since they wouldn't tell us why) sending out her personal e-mail and offering to sell personalized videos to other members, or -when local- meet them in person. We received no answer to "what terms of service did we violate?" However, I am giving a 2 star (instead of 1) for the sole fact that they DID refund the unused portion of my year-long membership when I complained that the site was a bunch of b.s. Obviously they do this because they know they'd bet all sorts of better business bureau complaints if they didn't. Oh yeah, I almost forgot: I did a search, for the WHOLE site, women with VERIFIED profiles, ages 18-99 looking for a man within 10,000 miles of me. There were 4. FOUR.

I was on alt for several years (2013-2016) then drifted away. I've just rejoined - and paid - August 2018 and the experience is awful. My main beef is not that stuff doesn't work (eg doesn't save message sent and therefore maybe doesn't send them...) no, my main beef is I have emailed them nine times over six days and no-one replied or addressed my problem. They took my money and they hid. It is a shame because - n my experience - it used to be a good site. Real people (ok, some said they were young when they were old, thin when they were fat etc) but I had good times there and made some nice cyber-friends. If anyone running alt is reading this (unlikely) please, you had a good product, make it good again. It will make you honest money. Tawse

Fake, fake, fake.Nearly all people into fetish or BDSM have a profile on Fetlife. Not a single one of the clearly fake profiles on Alt.com appear on fetlife. Virtually ALL people in the BDSM community who want to date go on either collarspace.com or bdsmdate.co.uk, both of which are completely free. On these 2 sites you will find real profiles, not canned rubbish and photos of real people. The positive review below looks fake too. Anyone who knows anything about BDSM knows it is a tight community with fetlife being the main go to places, and munches, parties, events. We all know ourselves, a bit like kinky facebook.

Most of the profiles are scams or not real. I spent a year on a friends gold membership and found 1 real person out of the hundreds I talked to and she was promoting apex. A large percentage of the females want money (tributes) or your email to send you scams and other garbage. Most of the men are perverts who just want a woman to be naked. This site is a scam and a joke. You put in the refined search a radius of 50 miles to your location and the first 20 results are from other countries. The rest are deactivated accounts or other states. The customer service is a call center who doesn't care. Never updated. Most profiles are people who visited over 3 months ago. Crashes constantly. Horrible experience of trash. Wish I hadn't wasted so much time on a joke.
