As the study of the site shows ( http://www.velocitypress.com/sexpartners.shtml) the site is rife with fake bios and fake ads--many of them used to entice non-paying members to convert to paid-in memberships. However, many of the people who advertise their bodies are real people looking for real sex. Especially the men, who outnumber women by at least 10 to 1. The Velocity study showed found that paying male members were successfully able to hook up with amateur females looking for a good time. Of course there are hookers mixed in with the amateurs, there are lookers (who get their thrill by teasing men), and some real sex maniacs. Many of the women are there because they are unable to find men by conventional means--often they were short or very fat, or homely. Or all three. A continuaol complaint was that once they have yiur credit card number, it took heroic measures to get them to stop charging it.

It's like a perfect storm for scamming. i was 'researching' af and a couple others and was curious as to why so many smoking hot chicks were trying to get ahold of me so i sent a note to the support email alias and asked for a free trial because it was too good to be true and was told that a, they don't offer free trials, and b, while it is known that some people scam the system, they have put restrictions in place to stop the gaming. of course i asked what type of restrictions and if it was a third party managing 'it'. Needless to say, i never heard back. seriously, if it is too good to be true it probably isn't true. what goes around comes around and this guy is no better than spamford wallace or ken lay. JP,
