DiscreetDates.co.uk review

DiscreetDates.co.uk is an online dating website which connects people interested in flings, or something more stable. The general impression is that this service is targeting those looking for someone to fulfill their fantasies outside of their committed relationship. The landing page looks playful and shows an attractive young woman. It also advertises with free registration and no subscription fees. It is managed by WILD FOX, based in Rickmansworth, in the United Kingdom. This operator seems to be new in the industry, and our experience with them is limited.  We could not find any online reviews, either, from previous users.

The platform has a business model which relies on its chat features. Each message costs 100 credits. These credits are virtual tokens which function as currency on the website. They are purchased in packages of varying sizes, so sending one message may cost up to GBP1.60 with this model. The question is, is it worth it? The member’s area seems to be populated by fake profiles who try to lure us into spending money on a chat. Unfortunately, this website seems to be a rip-off.

DiscreetDates.co.uk is a website for those looking for a sexual partner outside their current relationship. It advertises with free registration and claims to have been featured in several renowned lifestyle magazines. To write this review, we read the Terms and Conditions and create a minimalistic profile. We find the language in the legal disclaimer quite ambiguous, which is usually a red flag pointing to a scam. WILD FOX, based in Rickmansworth, United Kingdom, do not admit to creating any fake profiles. However, they warn that they cannot guarantee that all users in the member’s area are real.

After logging in, we are encouraged by the fact that we are not immediately flooded with computer-generated messages, as is often the case. The website also claims that they make every effort to ensure that all profiles are real, but they cannot promise anything. Sadly, after a few minutes, we confirm our suspicions. Messages from apparently very attractive members start coming into our empty profile’s inbox. This should not be happening, as we have not written any details or uploaded any photos.

Fake chat rip-off

It looks like there are many fake users on this platform, and no way of knowing which of them are real. If this operator is indeed doing everything to eliminate fake profiles, they are not doing a very thorough job. Instead, they are simply avoiding taking any sort of responsibility. These fake members do not correspond to any real-life people, so any money spent on the platform will not lead to any actual dates. It seems that the platform is using these steamy messages to trick you into spending your money on buying credits.

It is also disappointing that the landing page did promise free interaction and messaging with local members, as this is not the case. The platform gives you 100 credits to begin with, which are only enough for one single message. Another small detail that made our alarms ring was that we found several typos on the landing page. That does not mean anything. But in our experience, a professional website will normally take care of small issues like that, precisely to generate trust in their user base.

DiscreetDates.co.uk claims to be a great place to find a local fling to explore your fantasies outside your relationship. However, the platform is a scam flooded with fake profiles. They will entice you to spend your money on the chat. A short conversation may quickly become very costly. This cheeky company does not take any responsibility for these automated messages, but still benefits from them. They also guarantee free interaction with local members. But at the same time, writing in fine print, that the service is exclusively for entertainment purposes.
