Flikvlooi.co.za review

At first sight, the online dating platform Flikvlooi.co.za seems promising and inviting. The website is nicely designed and advertises with free registration and various interesting features. However our review shows this site cannot be trusted. Its operator is known for subscription rip-offs. To get access to the site’s chat feature, a paid membership subscription is needed. These subscriptions are subject to an automatic renewal billing policy and must therefore be cancelled to avoid regular charges.

Unfortunately the site’s operator has a reputation for simply rejecting or ignoring its customers’ cancellations. Consequently users may very well end up stuck in a long and costly subscription trap here. Even though we did not find any negative reviews online about Flikvlooi.co.za itself, we cannot recommend that anyone signs up on this website. It is a scam. Flikvlooi.co.za is operated by Dating Lab LTD from Jersey in the Channel Islands.

Our first impression of Flikvlooi.co.za is extremely positive. The landing page is beautifully designed, registration is free and the advertised features sound very promising. Overall the portal appears to be an excellent choice. 

To find out if Flikvlooi.co.za lives up to its great first impression, we created a free test account and took a closer look at the site’s members’ area as well as at the tools and features available. Moreover we studied the terms and conditions carefully and searched the internet for user experiences and reviews. Unfortunately, our research revealed the site is not trustworthy. Its operator is known for subscription scams.

Rip-off company

Free basic membership soon turns out to be somewhat useless. The chat feature, by far the most important tool for a successful online dating experience, can only be used by paying subscribers. Significantly, the subscriptions on offer are, once they expire, automatically renewed indefinitely. In general, automatic renewals are neither uncommon nor necessarily a bad thing. Unfortunately, however, they are often used to lure customers into enduring subscription traps. This seems to be the case with Flikvlooi.co.za.

The operator of Flikvlooi.co.za, Dating Lab LTD, is responsible for several other online dating websites. During our research, we discovered that a number of these have poor reputations on the internet. According to former customers, the company simply ignores or rejects cancellation requests and continues to charge users’ credit cards on a regular basis. We call this a subscription rip-off. As a consequence, we must conclude that Dating Lab LTD, which is based in Jersey, in the Channel Islands, cannot be trusted. So we cannot recommend that anyone signs up on any of its websites. 

Scam profiles?

Browsing the site’s members’ area, we found several suspicious profiles that appear to be fakes. With our extensive experience of dating websites, we strongly doubt that Flikvlooi.co.za is a good place to meet genuine singles or arrange real-life dates. Altogether we advise you to skip this site and try your luck elsewhere. There are much better and safer alternatives out there.

Flikvlooi.co.za turns out to be a disappointment. Our review shows the operator of this site is not trustworthy and has a reputation for leading its customers into long and costly subscription traps. Without a paid membership subscription, the chat feature cannot be used. But all subscriptions renew automatically and seem very difficult to cancel. To avoid falling victim to a scam, you had better refrain from signing up here.
