ConnectBlacks.me claims to be the perfect place to connect with black people around the world. However, as experienced online dating industry professionals, we noticed several alarming signs on the landing page that suggest it could be a scam. Potential users are asked to join without any information about the platform’s services or costs, giving the impression that it is a free website. In reality, members need to purchase a premium membership to communicate with others.
Furthermore, we encountered numerous technical issues during the registration process. The site is not optimized for mobile devices, forcing us to switch to a laptop to complete the registration and access the members’ area. It seems like the platform was rushed into launch without proper testing, indicating that the quality of service is not a priority. Their main focus appears to be attracting more victims into their trap.
Fake or real?
Upon reviewing the site’s terms and conditions, we found that ConnectBlacks.me partially admits to using fake chats. Although professional moderators are not mentioned, the site warns users not to expect real dates or partners, contradicting their initial claims. This suggests that some profiles in the members’ area are likely fake.
Excerpt from the GTC (as of 06/07/2022)
There is no guarantee that you will find a date, a companion, or an activity partner, or that you will meet any of our members in person.
Strange messages
Another red flag is the sudden influx of messages from attractive women immediately after signing up, even though our profile lacks a photo. Responding to these messages requires a paid subscription, indicating that these accounts are likely fake and operated by individuals aiming to deceive members into spending money on the platform.
The company behind ConnectBlacks.me is Izeo Dating LTD, headquartered in Dublin, Ireland.
