NicheAdultDating.com review

NicheAdultDating.com appears to be a dating platform focused on casual sex. However, it is a worn-out scam hiding under a new domain. It features a short questionnaire on the landing site, asking users if they are ready for casual safe sex and whether they are over the age of 18. In the background, we can see many naked women. The site is managed by SAOC SA CHE, a Swiss company also known as The Dating Factory. The town of Zug is the company’s registered base, and it has a reputation as being a haven for dating rip-off operators.

There are few details about the service itself, but the questionnaire makes everything seem very tempting to users. The operator avoids mentioning a fake chat service. However, during our evaluation of this website, we found information about the fake chat scam tucked away in the Terms and Conditions. When we created a profile to test out the website, we found that the site tried to push us toward signing up for a shady membership. We anticipated that this would become a big problem for the users.

NicheAdultDating.com is the latest subscription rip-off devised by SAOC SA CHE, a Swiss operator based in Zug. Our extensive experience indicates that they control a network of dubious dating platforms. The members’ area is populated by fictitious profiles. The platform is supposedly designed for the user’s amusement according to the Terms and Conditions. That rules out any possibility of real-life dates.

Scam tell-tales

There is no way to misinterpret the Terms of Use if you actually read them. It explicitly states that users consent to the fake chat service by just participating in it. The service is exclusively intended to be a form of entertainment, so there’s no hope of real-world encounters. This bothered us since the operator is fully aware that very few people take the time to read such texts full of legal jargon. Having proof of a fake chat service written in the Terms and Conditions and not on the landing or homepage allows the operator to avoid any accountability.

Even if anyone tried to sue them, the company can claim that they were open about the fake chat service in the terms. Since users don’t take the time to carefully read the terms, the site can easily lure people into a phony membership. While it’s true that some may seek a virtual sex fantasy, it is unethical to trick people like this. It’s even worse that the fictitious profiles actively engage with new users while hiding their true nature.

Excerpt from the GTC (as of 15/11/2023)

We reserve the right to use content from profiles, including the member username, photos, for featuring them in promotional material. The Website has joined the Dating Factory network which pools resources and members of several websites to provide you with a larger selection of members to communicate with. Any content you post may be visible on other sites on the network.

By using this service you accept that any member profiles, messages and communication may not be genuine and the service is for entertainment purposes only.

Endangered privacy

Apart from the fake chat scam, there are others concerning issues. A disquieting section in the Terms and Conditions addresses the use of personal content. The operator of the site may steal anything the users upload such as pics or personal info and use them for promotional purposes. According to our extensive experience with these reviews, this typically means they’ll duplicate the user’s profile onto other scam websites within their network. The user’s photo might be used as bait to lure users, or possibly become part of the members’ pool. The operator could even impersonate their users and send messages.

NicheAdultDating.com is a phony dating platform we have seen many times before. SAOC SA CHE seems to replicate the same scam under different names. We noticed that there were no real accounts except for our own, so a real-life encounter is impossible. The profiles in the members’ area try to lure users into a membership that may get them into trouble. After all, these contracts are often very complicated to cancel while getting automatically renewed against the customer’s will.
