The site is a fraud in my opinion, in about 6 weeks I have had over 1000 visitors, on at least 2 occasions I have had the same photo with different profile, name & place of origin. When I viewed the same visitor with a different name, profile & area, I sent a chat back saying "BUSTED" and let them know I wasn't impressed, the reply was "That's not fair". I have had a few chats & the replies all seem to come from the same person, starting with a casual chat and then asking some question & evading answering questions I have asked. The chat directions all head in similar directions and are usually brief and in my opinion are designed to drain your coins as quickly as possible. When I visited another site iDates throws a heap of visitors, likes & messages to lure you away from the competitors site. I was asked to swap phone numbers with one visitor, I reluctantly sent my number and was replied with "I will call you when I get my new phone" it's all crap to get you in for no results & Age limits mean nothing. The old saying "NO FOOL LIKE AN OLD FOOL", well this guy will be using his last coins to let all know don't get caught. Lastly each chat costs $1.50 AU which works out dearer that most other sites. The iDates site should be put out of business.

It's basically a con. I only joined this afternoon lunchtime, I was describe as fresh meat which explains the high level of attention I received all afternoon. The women here promised to do all sorts to me if I keep talking to them and there is the con $9.99 for 280 coins sounds great!! let me tell you that equates to 6 messages to you can't build a conversation or a "connection" around that, so you are constantly topping up to keep the conversation going and when you suggest to meet with them, they say "its too early, let's get to know each other more" so you top up again and that is the cycle. Stay away as its definitely a con I wasted money to save you money, unless you're sad, bored and lonely with a bottomless pocket.
