Is Ashley Madison a scam? Does Ashley Madison suck?

Probably the single greatest reason that I hear former customers of AshleyMadison.com call “foul” is because they feel that they were cheated out of their money by “robots” and “fake profiles.”  They generally go to the website to have an affair and find that they don't get a response or limited responses to their messages. The conclusion after this experience is that the site must be a scam. Ashley Madison has responded to the allegations of being a scam.
Some believe these complaints to be valid and other don't so I'd like to delve into a little research to help you reach your own decision.
Their response is this:
“Like any other online dating service, AshleyMadison.com isn't going to work for everyone bu

t if you follow the guidelines we lay out for you, we GUARANTEE that you will successfully find what you're looking for or we'll give you your money back.”

There are many possibilities:
  1. Other entities and people are joining Ashley Madison and using these profiles to facilitate Nigerian scams. The scams have become more and more sophisticated and complex and/or;
  2. Their tips could be correct and many users simply aren't approaching the site in the correct way to be successful. We hear all the success stories in the news and there is evidence that many don't know how to approach women on online dating sites.

Beware the wives

Make sure the hot girl messaging you isn't doing research of her own:

I was considering joining after being a guest member for a couple of weeks and a collect email came. I decided to check their Terms and Conditions and they basically admit to everything charged on your page.  I was suspicious that a hot girl would have her picture on her profile, and it turned out she was a scorned wife trying to catch her husband doing the deed. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is!

Ashley's Branching Out with other brands

Ashley Madison and Cougar Life are apparently run by the same company, Avid

Life Media. Cougar Life targets older women seeking younger men. Many female readers have noted that their Ashley Madison account received an invitation to Cougar Life which, if accepted, will auto create an account on Cougar Life using their information and photos from Ashley Madison.

Pretty slick.

The founder of the site is a pretty hot self proclaimed cougar. Wouldn't mind meeting her. ;)

Here's the ad for Cougar Life:

Amazing Coincidence?

Submitted by W.H. on 11/18/09:

I did a lot of scouting to see which profiles I was interested in. I selected five beautiful women whose profile interested me. I sent emails and requested key exchanges. I did this on a Thursday. I marked all of the profiles as “favourites.”

 

None of the women whose profiles I selected logged on until the following Tuesday. 

 

Then, the most amazing thing happened. On Tuesday, afternoon four of my selections were logged on at the exact same time. And the fifth logged on that evening. Ok, ok. So its a coincidence.

Another Member Who Feels Something is odd…

“Hi John:

 

I'm so glad I ran across your blog.  The fog has been lifted.  I joined Ashley Madison as a non-paying member, no picture and no profile other than my age, height, location and weight. I promptly received three invites to connect from very hot women.  Wow!  This is easy; I was sold.  I promptly plunked down $50 and responded and only got one response.  I was suspicious. 


I have since modified my profile and indicated that I was seeking a meaningful relationship and only open to the idea of intimacy if we connected mentally. 


Now I'm going to have some fun. I'm going to update my profile and keep these women guessing. See where I get the best response–if any.


Thanks for the good work.

I.L.”
