HelloHotties.com review

The online dating portal HelloHotties.com makes a good first impression. On the landing page, we see an image of an attractive woman. We also see the registration screen. Registration is free. At least, we are told on the registration screen that we should join this site because it is free. This gives us the impression that using the site is free too. We can find a lot of interesting and attractive people for online dating here. This is what the site offers.

Well, this all sounds exciting. But we did not read anything about actual meetings. It could be that this website contains fake profiles. Ultimately, real meetings might not even be the purpose of this site. However, this is just what we feel. In our experience, it is vital that real dates are mentioned on the landing page. This website is, however, quite transparent. On the landing page, we read general information about the site. This platform claims to be a legit dating site.

We even see reviews on this page from former and active site members. Naturally, they all had a great experience. Well, we did some research on the internet. We found quite a lot of negative reviews there from former users. They believe the site is a scam. The operator of the portal is Apricot Digitals LLC, which is based in Sofia, Bulgaria. Well, we already know this operator. This company has a bad reputation, even worse than this platform.

Yes, the online dating website HelloHotties.com is a rip-off. It is a subscription trap. Plus, there are many hints of fake chat. Reports on the internet speak of fake profiles which are moderated. We also received a lot of messages right after registration. This would usually be proof enough. However, the site operator does not admit anything about moderation in the legal information. So legal proof of moderated chat is not available. Anyway, we can prove the numerous messages we received with images.

Moreover, the site operator is not trustworthy. First, we know this company. This is not the operator’s only dating site, but just one of many. Plus, the operator’s reputation on the internet is bad. This speaks against the operator  being trustworthy, too. Last but not least, we have proof of a subscription rip-off. This means fake chat is not the worst aspect of this site. It might just be a tool. And we do not need proof of fake chat to call this website a cheeky scam.

Still, we would like to set out our experience on this platform. While registering, we received an offer of trial membership. This kind of membership is very cheap and lasts for just one day. Generally speaking, this is a bad sign. We can only advise you never to make a purchase on the internet if you have not seen what’s actually on offer. It might end in a trap, just as it does on this portal.

It is possible to skip the payment option while registering. We then received free basic membership, which allowed us to get to know this website. Within minutes of our acquiring membership, we received three messages and even more notifications from other members. This is a typical sign of fake chat; it’s especially so in this case. Our profile does not contain a single piece of useful information. A profile like ours would not even elicit a response on a reliable dating site. Here, however, we soon find ourselves spammed.

It is possible to read messages. But we are not able to reply. If we want to reply, we will have to purchase a premium membership. Premium membership is offered with different terms. In a nutshell, all are a waste of time and money. Plus, they are a trap. The operator makes termination difficult. As the subscriptions are renewed automatically, this is a problem. The operator makes sure the user misses the termination deadline. In the end, a subscription is renewed again and again.

Trial membership is the real trap. It is not possible to cancel this subscription on time. The deadline for termination is 72 hours in advance, according to the terms and conditions. As trial membership only lasts for one day, it is simply not possible to cancel it in time. So trial membership will be renewed as a monthly paid subscription which is difficult to cancel. Moreover, the site operator displays the different subscriptions rates confusingly. It thus makes these rates appear cheaper than they really are. Reviews on the internet refer to high costs too.

Registration is simple and completed with a few steps. On the landing page, we find the registration screen. It is possible to register as a woman or man. We can also look for either female or male matches. So this website is available for gay and heterosexual singles. Then we have to enter our age and location. Plus, we need a valid e-mail address and password to create a profile. This is all the information required for now.

By clicking the ‘Register’ icon, we automatically agree to the terms and conditions. The following step does not require us to enter more personal information. No: instead, we receive an offer of premium membership. Trial membership is offered, lasting for one day and costing only 0.99 USD. Well, this offer does not sound too bad. But the fact that a subscription is offered before we have even visited the actual site is not good at all. In our experience, this is a clear sign of a scam.

Generally speaking, you should never make a purchase too quickly on the internet, especially when what’s on offer is a subscription. This could culminate in a trap. Well, that would be the worst case scenario, but it could occur. Anyway, it is possible to skip the payment option and continue with the registration process. Still, we would like to point out that it is not very professional to ask a user to make a payment before he enters more personal information. After this, we can upload a profile picture and add further personal information.

But these steps are not obligatory. We can skip the next steps, which is what we do. Finally, we created an empty profile that does not contain one single piece of useful information about ourselves. This surely cannot be a good sign. This website increasingly leaves us with a bad impression.

Afterwards, we are redirected to the members´ area. We did not have to verify our account. This makes the process of registration easy and smooth. But it is not a good sign. The non-existent verification process makes the uploading of fake profiles possible. Moreover, your personal data is not safe here. Anyone could register just as easily as we did to access your personal data. We were able to visit all the profiles and read their profile descriptions. Actually, this should be a no-go.

After we completed our registration, we entered the members´ area. We see a huge selection of profiles there. The profiles in the members´ area look good and promising. Some members just look stunning. The design of the website is not too bad either. We have of course reviewed other sites that had a better appearance. This site’s design not really exciting, but nor is it too old-fashioned. All in all, the simple design ensures easy navigation. It guarantees a good overview of the site.

At the top of the platform, we see the various areas. Plus, there is the search function, which we can use free of charge. We can add other members to our favorites list. Plus, we can like any profile. Moreover, we can check out the profiles to read personal information. This would usually be a positive aspect. But here it is not a good thing as we did not have to verify our account. So, other members’ personal data is not safe.

Within a few minutes, we received attention from other members. Other users seem to like our profile. And we received messages from other members. Actually, right after our registration, we received our first two messages. This might make a good impression on some new members. But we know it is a sign of fake chat. In our experience, this website uses fake chat. Reviews on the internet share our view here. But legal proof is missing.

However, the large number of messages we received is proof enough. And some profiles look fake to us. Last but not least, it is suspicious that virtually all members seem to come from our region. A lot of members are less than 20 miles away from us. This all seems to be fake. This website definitely uses fake profiles. Even if legal proof is missing, the content on the platform cannot be real.

The goal of moderation is to lure us into a trap. While we were registering, the first trap was already being set. Since we skipped it, fake chat operators or bots will try it on again. We can read their messages, but to reply to these, we will have to pay.

Extract from the terms and conditions from the HelloHotties.com website. Current status of the terms and conditions as of May 26, 2022.

Unless cancelled, your 1-day trial membership plan will automatically convert to our monthly package after the end of your 1-day trial period at the full price of $59.97.

Registration is free. This is advertised on the landing page. But it is actually not completely true. While registering, we received an offer of trial premium membership. So we are supposed to make a purchase before seeing what’s actually on offer. In general, we advise you never to do this. It could culminate in an unpleasant surprise, just as it will do here. It is possible to skip the payment option. Then free basic membership will be offered. This kind of membership allows members to use a lot of features.

We were able to see all the profiles. Plus, we were allowed to visit each section of the site. This includes the profiles of other members. It was possible to visit each profile and read their personal information. By the way, this worked without verifying our account. Free basic membership allowed us to read messages and use various site features. We were able to look for other members, for example. The fact that we were allowed to read messages might sound good, but it is really part of the rip-off.

We might not have legal proof of fake chat from the terms and conditions. But we received too many messages. Plus, we found reviews on the internet alleging fake chat. The goal of moderation is to lure new members into a trap. Costs will develop for premium membership after registration. We will have to pay if we want to send messages to other members.

Premium membership is offered with different terms. All in all, four kinds of subscription are offered. There is a one-day trial membership, which only costs 0.99 USD. Then there is premium membership for one week, which costs 0.56 USD per day. Premium membership for one month costs 2.14 USD per day. Last but not least, premium membership for three months costs 0.77 USD per day. Payments can only be made with a credit card.

As we see it, the costs are displayed confusingly for a reason. In this way they can be made to appear low, but in reality they are not. The rates on this website are generally high. Ultimately, the user will pay much more than he expected to. Plus, the payment will recur more often than is wanted. The subscription is a cheeky trap. Trial membership is the real trap. It cannot be terminated on time. This website is a scam.

Trial membership lasts for one day. But the termination deadline is 72 hours in advance. So the user has to terminate a subscription three days before its term ends. Usually such a deadline would be quite fair. But here it is useless for two reasons. First, trial membership runs for just one day. So, trial membership cannot be terminated within this deadline. Furthermore, the operator will ignore letters of termination submitted in time or simply decline them without any reason.

Ultimately, the termination deadline will be missed over and over again. This is the rip-off on this website. By the way, the operator is well-known for this kind of trick. On the internet, we found plenty of reviews about the company. It also runs a lot more dating sites, and not just this one. So beware if you see this company’s name again.

HelloHotties.com is a rip-off with a subscription trap. While you are registering, the first trap is already being set. Trial membership is offered: this turns out to be the real trap. It cannot be terminated in time. Now it is possible to skip the payment option while registering. Subsequently, fake chat operators or bots will try it on again.

We received a lot of messages from other members. All these messages and notifications must be fake. We did not provide a single piece of information about ourselves. Actually, we did not even verify our account. There is no logical reason for anyone to contact us.

After registration, trial membership is offered again. It remains the main trap. But every kind of subscription on offer is renewed automatically. On this website, automatic renewal is used as a trap. The operator makes termination difficult. In the end, the user misses the termination deadline, whatever happens. So, the expensive and useless subscription is renewed again and again. The site operator is Apricot Digitals LLC, which is based in Sofia, Bulgaria.
