Zoosk Wont Let Me Send Messages
It’s an unfortunate reality that as the popularity of social networking and dating sites has grown so has the number of reported romance and online dating scams. If you’ve never heard of a romance scam, it’s a type of deception where scammers connect with people on legitimate dating apps, social networking sites, and chat rooms; stage fake romantic intentions to gain trust; and then leverage peoples’ goodwill to get money.
It’s a particularly awful scam, but something to know about these types of scammers is that, once you know what you’re looking for, they can actually be easy to identify and avoid. They often make a lot of spelling and grammar mistakes, will refuse to meet in person, and send odd messages where they’ll try to pursue a serious romantic relationship right away.
- Some of these will let you receive messages from other users but not send out messages. This is to lure you into thinking that an attractive person of the opposite sex is interested. Some of these sites will only let you see the inbox item, but not read the message ( 'Hotfemale32 sent you a message' ), and their hope is that curiosity about the.
- Dead profiles, guaranteed. So, if you were to randomly email 30 people on Zoosk, odds are that 85% of those profiles are dead and you'll never get a reply. 4 of your emails might make it to living, breathing members.
- Zoosk review from San Francisco, California rated 3.3/5.0 with 33 Comments: I've been on zoosk as a free member for a few months. I kept getting messages that my profile was being viewed by the same woman once or twice a day for a week.
To help you get a better idea of what a romance scammer looks and sounds like, we’ve put together a few examples of how scammers speak that may help you identify them more quickly. Check them out and if you come across someone who displays these types of behaviors stop your communications and report him or her right away.
Zoosk is a complete waste of time and a total scam. Someone sent me a wink and my profile automatically sent out, 'Hi, why not write me a message as well? I write back frequently'. I was going to send a real message afterwards except this auto message actually used up my 'freebie'.

thanks for your response, your sense of humor can not go unnoticed, i had a good laugh reading your message, well i’m glad your editor is off today, lol… i’d tell you this quite frankly, i honestly do not care about the distance between us, yes i live in georgia, but you know for two people who are sure of what they want, a couple miles wouldn’t be anything, well to tell you more about me, i am originally from Brazil, which is the country of my parents, i moved to the united states a couple years ago, i was married but unfortunately we got divorced, but i have absolutely no regrets as a beautiful daughter was made from that marriage and i practically raised that amazing kid alone, we have such an amazing father/daughter relationship, she lives in Boston now, she is 21 and wants to be a medical doctor. I have a life that most people will consider a great life but to me that is just a shadow of living because there is no special one to share of this love and the little things in life with, i’m sure you understand what i mean, that is me in a nutshell, i would stop here for now, please feel free to send the next response to my personal email which is email@email.com as it is easy for me to just read on my phone and respond. enjoy the rest of your evening, looking forward to your next message. regards.

Yesterday I receive this question:
How can I send and receive zoosk emails without paying?
At first I was chock that people are still using Zoosk because Zoosk does not have the best dating service out there.
I would recommend using Badoo or POF. Badoo is a creepy service but at least it is free.
New UPDATE August 2013 :Test my new zoosk tool to read and send messages to a specif user now.
Anyway back to the question.
I use a very simple trick. This trick might not work anymore after I publish this article.
I create a new zoosk profile with the same username that I use on google profile or facebook or twitter (you choose).
I wink the person I like. In my profile I say clearly that you must search on any search engine my zoosk username profile to contact me. (note zoosk moderator seems to read profile manually now)
They usually end up on my twitter account.
It is a little bit complicated and a long process but I had a great success with this trick.
I was able to contact and meet 7 of 10 girls.
I highly recommend that you put your best picture and you write the best profile possible.
By the way I will never pay a dating site anymore.
