FlirtAround.com review

According to the information provided by the company, FlirtAround.com is an online entertainment and social networking website. Here, like-minded people can chat, flirt, and fulfill their wildest fantasies. This sounds interesting, but according to our experience, the word “entertainment” often means that the chat is moderated. For this review we can confirm that this site is a fake chat scam.

The site is operated by Midsummer Online BV. This company is based in Deventer, in The Netherlands. The operator uses fake profiles to attract customers to pay for an expensive chat service. Luckily, the use of the platform does not require a subscription. Therefore, we can be sure that the site is not a subscription rip-off.

FlirtAround.com is an entertainment service. However, we know that most users will not understand what the word entertainment means in this context. It means that everything on this platform is fictitious. The users will chat with fictitious profiles managed by fake chat operators or by system bots. The operator, Midsummer Online BV, admits this rip-off in the terms and conditions. But from our experience, most of the users do not read the fine print. Therefore, they will not realize that they are victims of a fake chat scam.

Physical meetings are not possible

Before registering, we read a statement on the landing page with some information about the site. Included in this information is a paragraph which mentions that this site contains fictitious profiles. However, according to our experience, most customers will not spend time on reading the fine print. So, they will not realize that they are interacting with fake chat operators. The users will spend their time and money chatting with these fake profiles, but they will never have a chance to have a real date.

Excerpt from the GTC (as of 12/11/2021)

Flirtaround.com has the goal of allowing users to flirt. Flirtaround.com is the platform for users to chat with fictive profiles. The website, service and content are being provided for entertainment purposes only and are not intended to be used for establishing meetings with other users. Profiles marked with a heart icon are fictitious profiles with which physical contact is not possible.

No subscriptions needed

This website uses a system of payment based on credits. That means, to send messages to other members, the users must purchase a credit package in advance. Depending on the package selected, the price per message may vary from £1.25 to £1.65. It is obvious that spending a couple of hours chatting on this platform may end up costing a small fortune.

The platform also offers a monthly premium membership for only £9.99. This price is much lower. But because most of the profiles on this site are fake, we still consider that it is a waste of money. On the bright side, the membership is not a subscription. Therefore, there is no risk of a subscription rip-off on this site.

In our review of FlirtAround.com, we found out that this site is a fake chat scam. The operator admits on the landing page, and in the terms and conditions, that the site uses fake profiles. Also, our experience during this review confirms this rip-off because we received several suspicious messages right after registering.
