Pukbo.com: A fun look at its pros and cons

Positive and negative characteristics of Pukbo.com

Report for Pukbo.com review

Pukbo.com claims to be an all-new dating site that currently features one of the fastest-growing online dating sites in the industry. Fake dating platforms often lure users to join its site whether they are looking for a long-lasting relationship or a quick hookup. Pukbo.com also insists that there is no better site for finding a perfect match instantly and without any hassle. After registering, users will supposedly be able to browse through the website’s library of dating profiles and find the perfect match for them.

If only half of what was mentioned on the land page of Pubko.com was the truth, then it would have been a decent dating site at best. After our experience with the website, we felt that there was no doubt in our minds that Pubko.com is a scam. It is not unusual for a dating website to give customers convenient tools to find other partners, but when users are met with fake users after purchasing a subscription, it is a rip-off and an unpleasant experience for those involved.

The use of “fake chat” operators who operate fictitious profiles will contact customers and lure them into a subscription trap by sending enticing messages. If users want to respond to these alluring messages, they will need to purchase a subscription. However, since the messages come from chat operators and not real users, we would define this site as a subscription rip-off. Pukbo.com is operated by Take Two Digital LTD, a company based in Paphos, Cyprus.

Details on the Pukbo.com review

Pukbo.com displays good-looking profiles on the homepage to welcome potential customers to the site. Additionally, the free registration that is advertised by Take Two Digital LTD makes this website even more appealing to visitors. According to what’s written on their home page, most users access Pukbo.com through their mobile devices, and for that reason, the operator optimized the platform to be perfectly compatible with different devices and user-friendly. Furthermore, roulette matchmaking is an extra feature that Pubko.com offers. Plus, customers can also add profiles to “favorites” using a specific icon and can get in touch with anyone at any time.

Pukbo.com also pushes users to use exclusive stickers that are supposed to help with breaking the ice. According to the site, it is a new and exciting way for users to get a head-start on their dating adventure. Unfortunately, no sticker will save users from the operator’s scam that will rob them of their money through a subscription rip-off. Let’s see how Pubko.com operates its scam in detail in our review.

Fake Chat Service

The platform is operated by Take Two Digital LTD, which has supposedly created a secure chatting space where its users can connect with other people without worrying about the safety of their personal information. The company claims to evaluate each profile photo and user information whenever a new member registers. This is done to ensure that profiles comply with the policies listed in the Terms and Conditions. However, what the site doesn’t clearly inform its users is that it’s all just a big scam, for the user profiles that we saw on this site are all hired operators.

After having hands-on experience with Pukbo.com, we were able to check how things work. Once we completed the registration process for our account without even uploading a profile picture or providing any detail about ourselves, we received messages from other users. From that, we instantly knew that the site operates a fake chat scam because no real user would write to a user with an empty profile. The reason the operator does this is to try and convince users that a real person is interested in them so that users would spend money on the site.

Excerpt from the Terms & Conditions (as of 10/04/2023)

The Company operates system profiles (i.e. profiles connected to Accounts which have been created by the Company and which are either operated by contractors of the Company who impersonate the persons portrayed in such profiles or by a system designed to interact with users) and expressly reserves the right to chat with users through such system profiles in order to enhance the users’ entertainment experience. Physical contact with individuals behind such system profiles is strictly prohibited.

Subscription Rip-Off

According to Pukbo.com, it values the security and protection of its customer’s personal data as a top priority. However, from our experience on the platform, we feel like Take Two Digital LTD is more interested in scamming their customers by making them purchase subscriptions. As mentioned in the Terms and Conditions, the subscription can be canceled within the first 14 days from the purchase; otherwise it will start an automatic renewal cycle. Furthermore, if subscription pricing changes and a customer continues to use the platform, then that means they agree to the price changes.

Additionally, Take Two Digital LTD is a well-known scam operator and our team has already reviewed similar websites operated by this company. Therefore, since this Cyprus company had already attempted to make these kinds of scams before, there is no reason to doubt that it is a subscription rip-off. This site is notorious for making the cancellation process of subscriptions more difficult than it should be.

The conclusion from our Pukbo.com review

By summarizing our short and unpleasant experiences on Pukbo.com, we can say without any reasonable doubt that Pukbo.com is a platform that operates a subscription rip-off and a fake chat service. The only goal Take Two Digital LTD has is to rip off its customers by making them subscribe to a site where user profiles are fictitious. As our final verdict, this site is not a place for having a successful dating experience, and we don’t recommend our readers to try Pukbo.com.
