Scam Alert
There is a sleezy scam dating site called DoULike that is very deceptive. I was tricked by them on my MySpace account but they may be other places too.
Here's how the scam works.
Someone you know will post a photo of themselves, asking for you to return one of you TO THEM.
You click yes.
You get an e-mail with almost no information asking your consent to send the photo.
This one click then creates an account on the doulike website (and commits you to their TOS agreement etc). They take your profile photo and personal information from, in this case MySpace, and post it to their site without any notice or permission by you that you are creating an account.
Your personal information and photo is then sent out to who knows how many people asking for potential dates to "rank you!"
There is no link to delete your account on their site.
When you write their tech support they tell you how to "deactivate" your account but the information stays up until "our next update" when it will supposedly be removed. Mine is still up since June 10 when they ran the scam on me. Five days and counting.
MySpace replied to my complaint a couple of days later telling me to contact doulike.
They sent a form letter.
I wrote MySpace again, same reply.
I wrote mySpace again and even though I had included the site's URL, my page on their URL etc. I was told to take a screen shot, upload it to Microsoft Paint or Wordand e-mail it as an attachment to Myspace.
Easier to avoid this scam in the first place if you haven't alread been suckered in.
If you don't want to be on their meat market

WARNING: This site seems legitimate but is NOT. You have to pay before you read the emails others have sent you and after you pay, all the pictures including your own profile pictures become blank and not visible. pictures are visible when you receive email alerts but when you go to log on there are no pictures of any one.CUSTOMER SERVICE NEVER REPLIES TO YOUR QUESTIONS BUT ONLY SENDS YOU TO A REVOLVING DOOR LINK. I believe the messages from others are fake as well. There are to many alike messages from different members and no option of pre-writen scrips to even choose from for an introductory hello message. These messages I received I could only see after I paid for a membership. Remember I was never able to contact anyone Nor they me before I paid. SEE ANYTHING FISHY ABOUT THESE SIMILAR MESSAGES SENT TO ME?????

there seems to be a lot of women who want to send you to an island full of kisses on a sea of love :o
It's a scam all right. Those dozens of women who messaged me suddenly lost interest as soon as I paid. I doubt that any of them even exist (I did check with Tineye). Support never replied to any of my messages. Then they cancelled my subscription, which was probably a good thing, but without my request of permission.
Absolute scam! Do not get involved!
I have a question about "doulike" Do they send messages like 'doulike wants to communicate with you ,check your internet" I do not want to hit the x in corner of message ,I x out completely,cause I had a hacker on my PC and i noticed when I went on facebook,he prevented me from posting ,I got second half in and tried to remember the first half and put it in back in order! I get the feeling he got in my phone,for some reason I am getting a message 'you have no back up account ,add account now!" I will not,i have no important stuff on it and deleted a lot of data,he installed a "Go to assist customer, app on my PC.i got a police officer to uninstall it,but little message appeared below trash can and another later! I went in and deleted a lot of stuff.i am afraid to go to sites because of this! One more thing,sounds familiar,the site the hacker left me in was my internet name etc.,he told me to leave it on 15 mins,,the x out! we were on talking about family etc. he framed my face!He told me he would pay out of pocket,just pray for him! I had no money to pay to fix the hackers he said was stealing imfo.etc.i wrote it all on facebook!
Online dating is full of cons who operate in various ways and countries. In and unregulated industry full of crooks and liars. It's all a get rich scheme the set up fake address with no real email address or customer service contact phone number. They have inside people in certain organizations that overlook their activities. They knows this because any legitimate business has a customer service where you can call. This industry is full of criminals who side set laws for their own agenda . One told me that they work with thousands of web companies even fake ones. Where the Government and authorities they are to stealing themselves that's why these crooks go unpunished. They buy reviews the money they stole from fraudulent activities. It won't change unless consumers pull together and hold these criminals accountable.
Many fake profiles
