Countryside-Connections.com review

The result of our Countryside-Connections.com review: Our test on Countryside-Connections.com turned out to be an insufficient dating website.

Countryside-Connections.com claims to be a legit dating service for singles who are living in the countryside of the UK and advertises with free registration. However, our research shows that this site is anything but legitimate. We discovered some online reviews about this site, pertaining to a scam. The website operates as a fake chat service with a subscription trap.

The profiles in the members´ pool are all fake. In addition, this site is for entertainment purposes only and a premium-membership is required to use the chat feature. All of these combined aspects point towards a fake chat component. Fake chat operators create and control fictional profiles in order to entice users. Users are lured into a subscription trap once they have purchased a membership. A trial membership will be offered beforehand, then automatically charge users without warning, making this a cheeky subscription rip off. The company Desdemona Ltd, which is located in Ireland, are the operators behind this site.

The appearance of Countryside-Connections.com makes it seem like a solid online dating portal. The landing page shows an appealing photo of a couple in love, having a walk in the woods. Even the websites’ offer sounds promising to its users. With just its presentation alone, the platform might deceive some people, but not us. At the bottom of the landing page, we see, Desdemona Ltd, the operator based in Dublin, Ireland. We have encountered this company before in our past reviews. It is infamous for its cheeky scams in the dating network.

In the legal information, the operator does not disclose the fact that the website is a fake chat service with a subscription trap. However, there are two factual evidences that reveal the website’s true nature. First off, we know it is for entertainment purposes only. In the world of online dating “entertainment,” is just another way of saying “chat moderation.” That means that chat operators generate profiles and chat with their clients. Second, the operator acknowledges that the profiles may not be real. This means, you can’t actually get a date here and operators receive commissions for hoodwinking their users.

The following is stated in the terms and conditions

By using this Website you acknowledge that any User profiles, messages and communication may not be genuine.

We advise you to avoid this site

Fake operators manipulate new members by seducing them with fake profiles. Members who are oblivious to the charade, have no clue they are being played. According to former victims of the site, phony profiles are not marked as fictional. Fake operators will do their best to keep this fact hidden from users. A free trial membership is offered first, and some buyers see the word “free,” then jump at the chance. Unbeknownst to them, the trial membership that was once free of charge, quickly becomes a financial nightmare.

Once a pricey premium membership is bought, it is too late for the user. According to the online reviews, the premium-membership cannot be terminated in time and will extend automatically to a normal subscription. When the fake operators have completed their objective, there are no longer obligated to the members. New members are then left frustrated, with less money in their wallets and are still single.
