This site may be dishonest, but its certainly nothing new. Most dating sites
you go to employ some of the same tactics. They will try to lure you in and
then put up a paywall. I guess the thing that is bad here is that they lie
about having automated messages when they obviously do. That is really kind of
slimy, they might as well admit to the obvious at this point.

Couldn't it be some scammer who has nothing to do with WooMe?

for the record, robin wauters didn't approach us to verify anything in the
story and the accusations are untrue and misleading.

we focus very hard on getting people to talk to each other and interact and we
have a number of features on the site, driven by users, that make that happen.

Ironically, the user featured in the pic is one of the longest standing and
most active on WooMe.

You, sir, sound like a snake oil salesman of the worst kind. Either that or
you have no clue how your site operates.
