Just wondering if it's a legit site or a scam? It's pretty lame that I have to upgrade to a paying member just to be able to read e-mails I've received and for people to be able to read my e-mails. I've been searching for reviews of the site and haven't come up with much of anything. Can anyone offer me any insight?

This is DEFINATELY a scam. I have yet to meet a real person on it. What you are dealing with is a sequence of autoresponders which contact you at a frequency determined by your behaviour on the site. The replies you receive NEVER make ANY reference to anything you have told them.
THIS SITE IS A SCAM. DO NOT PAY THEM ANY MONEY!

Sorry about double post- Wrote reply, was asked to sign-up, did so, and my post seemed to disappear, so re-wrote it. Have no idea how to delete an unwanted reply on this thing. If anyone knows how to do that....

Never heard about this site. Read first their terms and conditions. Do not pay if they are asking you to pay because most websites are free membership, so if they are asking you to pay, then there's something wrong. I am already a victim of this kind of trend, after I pay, there's no difference between the upgraded membership and the free membership.

I don't know about the web-cam thing, but the site is DEFINATELY a con. I haven't yet met a real person on it. Basically when they respond to you, they make NO MENTION of anything stated in your message. The replys received appear to from an autoresponder generated at a frequency based on your usage and behavour on the site- You will normally get two messages from any profile (over a period of several days/weeks) and then hear nothing. THIS SITE IS A SCAM: DO NOT PAY THEM A PENNY!
In order to prove this, I am going to tell the next 'female' who contact me that my hobby is eating canine faeces.... lets see what happens!
