Being a regular user of several dating sites, it was pretty easy for met to find out the deceptive ways of wellhello.com and how they scam people into using their credit cards to pay the site. The site uses all the classic methods to get people to pay to use advanced services.

I’m surprised that a lot of people have actually fallen into the traps laid by the site even when you can easily tell from their site design and set of features that are mediocre at best. If you want to save yourself the trouble, keep reading as I reveal the many tactics the site uses to scam people.

The Authenticity of WellHello

If you ever come across an adult dating website that only lets you use it features after paying a premium membership fee, you should immediately discard it and think of it as a scam site. WellHello does not let you use any of the features until you pay them a fee. I tip my cap to the folks over at the Dating Cop for pointing this out in their “Deceitful tricks of well hello review.”

When you first land on the home page of the site, you’ll be bombarded with automated messages from hot women. This is a classic technique scam sites use to trap people. You receive a message from a member and when you try to reply back, you are taken to the membership page meaning that you won’t be able to reply until you pay a premium. And when you finally do pay the fee, only then you realize that the member was in fact just a chatbot.

It’s Easy To Tell WellHello is a Scam Site

I did only a few minutes of background check on the site to see how fraudulent the site is. I didn’t even have to use advanced techniques to find their activities because their scam tactics are obvious from their very first page which is the signup page. You’ll also be able to tell a lot about the dubious activities of the site as soon as you read their terms and conditions and privacy policy.

To help my investigation, and to provide you solid proof that the site is a scam site, I present to you some excerpts from their terms and conditions which are too obvious.

The site tells you the risk is all yours to take. One of the first things that shows this site is a scam site is this excerpt from their T&C. ”You Assume All Risk When Using the Site And/Or Their Services, including but not limited to all risks associated with any online or offline interactions with others. IT Is Your Responsibility to Take All Necessary Precautions When Meeting or Interacting with Other Users. You specifically acknowledge that we do not pre-screen or perform criminal background checks on our users, nor do we verify that the information they provide to you, if any, is consistent with the information they provide to us.”

In simple words, the site is trying to tell you that whatever you do on the site is your responsibility and not theirs. This means that if a certain member tries to get you to pay the money, it is not the site’s doing. On the other hand, the site has set up chatbots to lure you into paying money.

You cannot change your personal details. If you think scamming was the only thing the site is good at, think again. The details you provide to WellHello during the membership phase becomes theirs once you hit the sign up button. Do you know what that means? The site can not use your name, your email address, and other details for their own use. They can send you an email, sell your email to other sites, and market your personal details and even make a fake profile from your details. Here’s what the T&C has to say about this:

‘’You agree that Smoochy Brands has the right (but not the obligation) to access, re-arrange, modify and remove or restrict access to any Site Content, including Your Content, in its sole discretion and without notice or compensation to you.“

The site changes the membership fee without warning. Another excerpt from their terms and conditions reveals that they have the right to change their membership fee at any given time without warning you. So for example, if you have a monthly subscription set up with the site, they can increase the fee without warning you and you will be automatically charged the new fee. And there’s nothing you can do about it because it is part of their terms and conditions and privacy policy. This is a great scam tactic to make more money from an existing member.

Highly negative reviews. I always tell my readers to read plenty of reviews of an adult dating website before paying a single dime. If you read reviews of WellHello.com, you’ll mostly see negative reviews and comments. People on the internet reveal their experiences openly when someone tries to scam them. I was able to find hundreds of negative reviews of the site and this is why I decided to do a review of my own to see if there was any truth to these claims. And I was able to find a lot about the site after trying it out myself.

If you’re a regular user of adult dating sites, it’s very easy to tell WellHello is a scam site. Even if you are new to the scene, the points that I have mentioned above should give you plenty of insight on what the site is doing to scam its users.

Always sign up and pay a site if they at least let you use their services for free. Many sites will let you sign up for free and let you use many of the features. You can only pay these sites when you are confident that you are not being scammed as opposed to sites like wellhello that ask you to pay first and then use it.
