ArabianDate.com review

The online dating platform ArabianDate.com appears to be a solid matchmaker. This site goes for a certain target group. This portal is for Arabian singles looking for a serious commitment. Again, this site is a matchmaker and not a casual dating portal. At least, this is what we believe. On the landing page, we see the image of a happy couple in love. Plus, we see the screen for free registration. Further essential information is not provided. This is a bad sign. In our experience, transparency is very important.

This is particularly the case here, as this website claims to provide a solid and reputable matchmaking service. In the end, too little information is provided to support this claim. As we see things, the first impression made by this site is not good. The platform operator is SOL Networks Ltd, which is based in Sliema, Malta. We know this company already. In the past, we have reviewed other dating sites it runs. What our research has uncovered has not shown it in a positive light at all.

The online dating website ArabianDate.com is a scam. We did some research on the internet. While researching, we found a lot of reviews about this site. And the portal operator is well-known too. We know this company very well. The operator runs a huge dating network. Our experience tells us this website is a cheeky fake chat scam. Reviews on the internet agree with our view here. However, this website uses smart tricks to hide the rip-off it subjects users to. Its legal information makes no mention of the use of fictitious profiles or the employment of fake chat operators.

However, we found our own way to prove the use of fake chat. The profiles in the members´ area are fake. We checked these profiles carefully and soon spotted a simple and obvious indication of their fake character. We did not find one single member who looks like an average woman. All profiles show very attractive female users. Obviously, this could impress a prospective member enormously. But it is a clear sign that fake profiles are used. These profiles do not look typical for a matchmaker. And they’re especially inconsistent with this site’s actual target group.

Most profiles show quite sensitive content. There are a lot of erotic images in the members´ pool. Plus, the profiles look more like those of professional model images. Sadly, we were not able to find legal proof of the use of fictitious profiles. But we are not the only ones who had this feeling. On the internet, we found a lot of reports alleging use of fake profiles. And there are clear signs of moderation. Right after our registration was completed, we received countless messages, likes and notifications.

Other members wanted to chat with us. They sent us chat invitations. These actions generally encourage new members to chat. Within a few minutes, we received a lot of messages from various users. Most messages contained erotic fantasies or very basic questions. In the end, we concluded that this website does not employ fake chat operators. We assume that the profiles are controlled by bots. We felt the messages sounded computer-generated. However, they did what they were supposed to do very well.

The goal of moderation is to increase the operator’s income. Costs will develop after the free registration process. A user has to purchase credits to reply. Regarding costs, we have to mention a few points. First, it’s obvious that this website is a waste of time and money. You will never meet a real person here. All profiles are fake and show fictitious people with whom dates in real life are impossible. There’s also a high risk of falling into a subscription trap. Costs will ensue for credits that will be topped up automatically.

As we see things, this sounds like serious malpractice on such an unreliable site. On the internet, we found reports alleging a subscription rip-off. It seems credits will be topped up automatically even if users do not want this to happen. However, we can only state that several reviews allege the use of this kind of trap. Substantive proof is missing. Anyway, we have to mention one further point about costs. This website charges users a lot of money. Even if the automatically top-up system is not a trap per se, this site is highly overpriced.

Scroll down to read the details of our ArabianDate.com review.

At the top of the landing page, we see the screen for registration. Both women and men can register free of charge. And not only is registration free; it can be completed easily with just a few clicks. We indicate our gender and the one we are looking for. This platform allows gay and heterosexual matchmaking. It is possible to register as a female or male user. But we can only seek one gender. We then have to enter a range of ages of the prospective matches we will view later.

After this we have to enter a valid e-mail address, password, our date of birth, our current location and our chosen username. The next stage gives us the opportunity to provide more extensive information about ourselves. We can describe our interests and characteristics and our wishes for our matches. Obviously, this makes a good impression. Thanks to this information, other users will know what we are looking for and can form an idea of who we are. But none of this information is compulsory.

It is possible to skip all the steps that request personal details. We guess we’re not alone in bypassing these. And uploading a profile picture is optional, as is verification. In the end, we created an empty profile without an image and skipped the verification process. All in all, this doesn’t leave us with a positive impression any more. Our experience suggests the registration process here is too short and leaves out a lot of important details.

This platform claims to be a special kind of matchmaker. However, too little vital information is required to register. In the end, this portal appears untrustworthy.

The members´ area is our first stop. At first, our impression of this website is great. The design of the interface is modern and appealing. We have a good overview of the portal and all its sections. Plus, the members´ pool is full of good-looking profiles. At the top, we see the various areas. We see our profile settings, which are displayed with a sign that shows three bars. Plus, there is the search function, the inbox and a button to upgrade our account, which we will highlight later.

On the portal’s right side, we see our chat requests. These are not actual messages. During our review, we received plenty of chat requests. It appears these are either computer-generated or sent by chat moderators. We will say more about moderation later as well. For now, we’d just like to outline our experiences in navigating this portal. This site not only has a good overview; surfing it is smooth and easy too. All sections are easy to find. Plus, all its features are easy to use.

But we also have to mention here that this website is not very extensive. There are only a few areas to explore. Plus, this site only uses only very basic dating service functions. This is something we have to criticize. This site claims to be a matchmaker. But none of the features needed to find accurate matches for members is available. This site does not have a solid matchmaking system. There is no questionnaire for users to complete. Plus, too little vital information is required while a new member is registering.

And the search function only contains a few filters. In the end, you will have to find your match all by yourself. That is an absolute no-go. Sadly, even this is not the worst aspect of the site. This portal appears to use moderated chat. In principle, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But users here do not know about moderation. Even the site’s legal information doesn’t contain any admission about the use of moderated chat. Obviously, this creates a huge problem for users. It means this website is a scam with fake chat.

The profiles are fake. We checked those in the members´ area. While doing this, we didn’t find one single profile that didn’t look fake. We couldn’t find a single average-looking person here either. All profile pictures appear to show professional models. This is a clear sign of fake profiles, especially on a site like this. This site is supposed to be a matchmaker. But profiles like this aren’t consistent with the pictures we’d expect to find on a genuine matchmaker. And nor do these profiles fit the target group.

Obviously, such stunning profiles leave us with a promising impression. And plenty show sensitive content. But they are moderated. We believe bots control these fake profiles. Earlier we mentioned the chat requests we received so soon. These seem like the fruits of action by bots. The bots send us messages to encourage us to chat. In general, this is a clear sign of moderation. On this site, it obviously means fake chat is used. We did not provide a single item of useful information about ourselves. We didn’t upload a profile picture or verify our account.

The chances of being genuinely contacted with a profile like ours are extremely slim. Actually, on other websites, we would not even receive a response. But here we are literally spammed by bots, which actively encourage us to chat. They will take the first step, which presents users with another major problem. Additionally, the bots will not admit anything about moderation. Last but not least, the fake profiles are not marked as fake either. The goal of moderation is to increase the operator’s income.

Registration is as easy as pie and free of charge. After the process is over, costs will develop for the use of the site. But the portal does give you enough time to get to know it first. So you do not have to spend money right away. Before we explain more about the payment rates, we have to clarify one important point. This website uses fake chat. During our review, we spotted a lot of signs of moderated chat. Proof of this from the site’s terms and conditions is missing. But the scam is all too obvious anyway.

Moreover, there is a risk of falling into some form of subscription trap. We’ll now explain how this works. Costs will develop for sending messages. A user needs credits to send messages. Reading messages is free. Sending messages is the only payable feature involving costs for the user. Sending one message costs one credit. Sending a picture costs 10 credits and sending a sticker costs five credits. At first sight, these rates don’t sound too high. But please bear in mind the inundation of chat requests we received, as stated above.

If we wanted to reply to all the messages we received during our review, we would have to spend a lot of money. Plus, this website claims to be a matchmaker. But it does not have a matchmaking system. So you’ll have to find a potential match yourself and get to know her or him unaided. This is only possible through extensive conversation. In the end, such conversation will cost you a small fortune. Plus, it is a waste of money.

The credits are offered in different packages. 150 credits cost 49.99 USD per month. This is the smallest package. Another package includes 600 credits, costing 149.99 USD per month. Last but not least, there is a package for 299.99 USD per month which contains 1500 credits. The prices of credits are displayed on a monthly use basis. This is done for a reason. The credits will be topped up automatically at the end on the month. So this is in effect a kind of subscription which seems to be a cheeky trap.

On the internet, we found reviews alleging this kind of rip-off. We can only mention that former users felt they were trapped in this payment system. However, we are not totally sure if it is really a subscription trap. But we do know you’ll pay a lot of money to chat with a moderated fake profile. In the end, this is reason enough to avoid this site completely.

Payments can only be made with a credit card. At the end of a subscription term, credits will be topped up automatically. But you can buy more credits in the interim if you need to.

The online dating website ArabianDate.com is a scam with fake chat. Plus, there is a high risk of falling into a subscription trap. Costs will develop for credits. These credits will be topped up automatically at the conclusion of a subscription term. Our experience suggests this sounds like a trap, particularly when it is used on such an unreliable website that uses fake chat. But we are not sure whether this offers sufficient proof of a subscription trap.

On the internet, we found reviews about this cheeky trap. But we’re not in a position to assess whether terminating a subscription is really that difficult.

We are, however, able to prove moderation. The profiles in the members´ area are fake. As we see it, all profiles are fictitious. So it seems impossible to find real dates. Moreover, bots seem to control the fake profiles. Moderation is not mentioned in the site’s legal information. Usually this would mean we don’t have proof. But the use of fake chat here is blatantly obvious. Within a few minutes, we received countless messages from profiles that show the images of professional models.

In the end, the fact that the operator does not admit moderation in the terms and conditions only makes everything worse. The site operator is SOL Networks Ltd, which is located Sliema, Malta. We know this company already. We have in the past reported on several other sites run by this operator. This site is just one of many. The operator runs an entire network consisting solely of fake chat sites.
