Review: Avoid the Academic Singles scam!
Genuine singles beware - 'Academic Singles' is not what it claims to be. My personal experience with Academic Singles in Singapore mirrors AA and Jaye's in some aspects:
1.) I was bombarded with messages addressed to 'sexy lady', 'sunshine' etc, but almost never addressed to my name/initials. These 'singles' ask to immediately chat off-site.
2.) The majority of profiles, if genuine, do not have'academic' background.
3.) 'Stock photos' are widely used.
4.) Within 48/72 hours in the past week, I received 3 messages from 'Rich'/'Richard', showing the same man in different photos on at least 3 different profiles. He is age 40 in one, age 43 in another, and age 45 in the 3rd profile.
Request for refund of Premium Membership was ignored, then denied on basis that I have already used its services to e.g. view profiles and read messages. After encountering so many potential scammers on the site, many of whom I have reported, I am here to warn fellow singles to steer clear of Academic Singles, anywhere in the world.
