Visit Ashley MadisonWe have to be blunt about this one. The FTC charged that Ashley Madison used fake "engager" profiles of women to lure men into paying, and its operators settled with the FTC and 13 states in 2016. The same case found that people who paid $19 to "Full Delete" their data had it kept anyway.
Then there's the 2015 hack: account and profile data on 36 million users was stolen and published. On a site whose entire pitch is discretion, that's the headline.
Women use it free; men buy credits per conversation (reported: 100 for $59). If you use it anyway, buy the smallest pack, don't pay for anything until you've talked on video, and assume anything you upload could one day be public.
The facts
- Cost
- Free for women. Men pay per conversation with credits; reported packs are 100 credits for $59, 500 for $169 and 1,000 for $289.[1]
- Who uses it
- We found no current, audited user numbers. (Our own check: no published source found.)
- Verification & safety tools
- We found no published photo- or ID-verification system. Video-chat before you meet. (Our own check: no published source found.)
- Privacy record
- Hackers stole and published account and profile data on 36M users in 2015. The FTC found users who paid $19 for "Full Delete" had data kept anyway. If discretion is the point, assume anything you upload could one day be public.[2]
