MatureFlirts.co.uk review

The online dating website, MatureFlirts.co.uk, was created by Midsummer Online BV and is based in Groot-Ammers, Netherlands. The site has an interesting landing page with many diverse and attractive female profiles. Visitors to the site can go through the registration process smoothly and will find many profiles after successfully signing up. However, it will only take a moment to realise that there is a catch. In order to send messages to a person, users have to buy expensive credits.

Additionally, profiles that have a heart icon next to them are all fictitious. When we went through the members’ area during our review, we located the icon next to every single profile. Spending a lot of money to be able to send messages to fake profiles is a clear rip-off in a fake chat service. This is a bad experience that no one wants to have.

The dating website MatureFlirts.co.uk has a clear layout and looks professionally made. As we did some research about the operator Midsummer Online BV based in Groot-Ammers, Netherlands, we found out that they operate many different websites. Unfortunately, many reviews from the internet say that this company operates scams. Regardless, we wanted to experience the site on our own to get a better understanding of the scam.

Signing-up for a trap

At the end of the registration process, users need to click through 6 windows that ask about receiving information through e-mail, updates, advertisements, etc. When the pop-up window appears, there is a text that says “yes, I agree” in green whilst the “no, thanks” button appears in white and is almost transparent. If users do not click on “yes, I agree,” they cannot proceed to the next step.

Therefore, users had better watch out if they don’t want to get tons of advertisements through e-mails and newsletters. As always, we looked at the Terms and Conditions and found the following.

Excerpt from the GTC (as of 11/10/2023)

3.1. matureflirts.co.uk has the goal of allowing users to flirt. matureflirts.co.uk 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 fictive profiles with which physical contact is not possible.

Fictitious profiles and messages to be paid

As we can see in the Terms and Conditions, this website uses fictitious profiles, which is a clear sign of a scam. It informed us that only profiles with a heart icon were fake ones, but when we checked, every profile we clicked on had the heart icon. No one wants to spend hours looking for a profile without a heart icon when thousands of them have it. Users want to go straight into chatting with real users.

In order to send messages, users have to top up their accounts. The price of messages varies from around 1 GBP to 2.5 GBP per message depending on the package that users purchase. However, the prices for sending messages are outrageous and a clear rip-off.

The website MatureFlirts.co.uk has an organised landing page with many interesting profiles. However, what looked promising at first site turned into a bad experience. The operator uses fictitious profiles in order to entertain users. Additionally, users must top up their account and buy coins to be able to send messages. All that at a tremendous price. Our conclusion about this website is to definitely avoid it. A place where you must pay to converse with fake profiles is a clearly a scam.
