InterPals Omdömen 

BEWARE my cousin got scammed there!! some Indian jerk living in Germany lied about being in love with her and talked her into sending him very explicit photos (most likely to sell them to a porn site) and then disappeared. As a result she suffered a severe mental breakdown, which took her 3 years to recover from! That ***tard deleted his account but most likely created another one and is still active there!! Avoid by all means these criminals are preying on vulnerable women!!

Had my account suspended for having a sense of humour so made another account and that was suspended within 5 minutes. This site is full of scammers and the moderation team doesn't like people having a view on what's going on in Ukraine with their Russian backers. Much better sites out there like happytalk

Pro Russian site. Banned me several times for simply not wanting to talk to Russians.

Not recommended. I had an account here for years, but when I added the fact that I hosted Ukrainian refugees in my home my account was deleted without notice nor explanation. So what people say about it being pro-Russian may well be true. There are a hell of a lot of scammers there, they contact you daily, and I must have reported dozens to the admins who fairly promptly removed their profiles. With what I did to help, things will only be worse now I am not there (though I say it myself!). I think they have done me a favour, as there are so few genuine people there and I will not be returning.

The negative that was written here about this site is true. I don't know where to start. Unfortunately, a lot of profiles on this site seem to me to be fake. But I suspect that these are not just fake profiles of other people, but that Interpals also creates so-called animation profiles itself in order to fake a larger quantity of profiles.

I've seen some profiles where something is obviously wrong. For example, when it is claimed that one speaks a certain mother tongue, but sentences are written in this language that are so incorrect that they cannot come from a native speaker. Many profiles claim to live in a specific city, but neither speak the official language spoken there nor claim to learn it at all. In some cases, the same profile pictures even appear on different profiles.

A very clear indication that artificial profiles are being constructed here is the fact that the vast majority of profiles no longer log in after the registration date. There is a huge amount of inactive profiles. Although the options for the search and the private settings are very good, what's the point if a lot of fake profiles appear as a result? It is very time-consuming to find the minority of real profiles here, because Interpals is very good at disguising the fake ones. The site doesn't cost anything, but finally it's a time-waster.

When I contacted some fake appearing profiles about some dubious statements described above (such as asking why they don't care about the language of the city they live in) I was banned by Interpals without any warning. Apparently they don't want people there who have seen through the system. Extremely dubious and I will never register there again.

It is a Russian site, full of pro war Russians with no moderation of their aggression or threats. The only other thing you get is scammers from all over the world.

If you are looking for language or cultural exchange, you are wasting your time here.

Terrible community!
Women get attacked and harassed, Ukrainians get banned and every other profile is a scammer.

Horrible site, no freedom of speech and run by Russians.

I'd give Interpals a zero star if I could. I was contacted by two random russian users who were spouting anti Ukrainian propaganda out of the blue including links to dead children and how this was the "Ukrainian Nazis fault"
I reported these two people without comment and my account was instantly banned.

After contacting Interpals they refused to unban me and cited spamming as a catch all response (I don't message people first so this is impossible)

Support refuse to unban me and the pro war spamming, russian profiles are still there. Disgusting company and I hope they're banned from most decent countries.

I can only say that what other users wrote on here is true. I've had an account for years. Interpals always had an issue with scammers who are on the website for a visa, for sexual harassment or an attempt to stalk women.

I blocked all of those scammers and met some nice people on there over the years but then my account got deleted out of the blue. There was a user who had bad content on his profile and I asked him about it thinking that nobody could be serious about that type of thing. In the end I don't know if my account was deleted because I asked someone a question about their questionable content (I did mention that I interpreted it as bad content to post. Their profile didn't get deleted but it should have by the standards of any other website). Or if it was an issue for Interpals that I chatted with Ukrainians on there. I have been in contact with both Russians and Ukrainians for years over Interpals. I'm not curious about politics and it was never a topic for me in all those years. Sad enough that Interpals added more questionable practices to what was there before anyway.

This site is REALLY hard to review.
I REALLY like it, though there ARE some serious flaws, among others, lots of fake accounts, scammers and people with inappropriate behaviors...
BUT... you can always ignore and report these people.

And...

It is also a place to find a Very Best Friend if you are honest and open to it and accept that he/she might not show up in first attempt... and maybe the bad people will.
Some people find the love of their life here too 😊😊😊

Russians on this site are very aggressive, showing open support for putin and his war. No one can say anything to them, because the interpals management deletes the accounts of anyone who resists the russians!

It's perfectly true - if you say anything against any russian supporting the war on Interpals, no matter how politely, your account is instantly deleted.

It is amazing that hundreds of scammers proliferate on interpals, trying to take advantage of users - these scammers' accounts are not deleted. But the accounts of anyone who speaks in favour of the ukrainian people are!

Interpals is full of Russian users who openly support Putin's war in Ukraine. They say things like, 'I support Putin, and I don't care what anyone thinks,' or, 'Europe and the US are foolish - we cannot understand why they are sanctioning us. They are only going to hurt themselves.' Or, much, MUCH worse, they simply post links to videos of Russian government propaganda about the 'Nazis' that the glorious Russian government is defending the world from.

HOWEVER, if you write anything in reply, you are INSTANTLY banned!

For example, I wrote a reply to one such post, POLITELY pointing out that little children were being killed in bombing and shelling, not to mention the fact that their childhoods' were being destroyed, and I was INSTANTLY banned.

It's alright to make pro-Putin statements, but not to write anything in reply.

It's not a good website.

I have met a number of wonderful people throughout the world on this site. I did not know this was a "dating site" I always considered it an electronic pen-pals site.
So, if you "got scammed" by someone on this site then it is your own fault. You have to be pretty stupid to let someone scam you.

Just forget about this site, it’s nothing but a gateway for African scammers and visa hunters.

Beyond Rude custumers service, rude and pushy users, scammers. Do not recommend at all this website

There is a moderator there or a group of moderators, that bully people and keep deactivating their accounts for no reason. This is really childish and pathetic behaviour, they need to hire people that actually do work on the site instead or carrying out their personal vendettas against people. To that moderator who keeps doing that. I will keep coming back. You are wasting your time. Keep on wasting it.

Scammers are allowed to run a mock on the site and the so called moderators do nothing to them, they attack the good people on the site.

Have to agree with previous posters. The site is overrun with Nigerian scammers with fake profiles. It’s supposed to be a penpal site, but these vermin are overwhelming it with dating scams. If you complain, you get banned for “suspicious activities”. A complete waste of time joining it.

This site said as friendships site.
But 75% mens there using as dating site. Lots scammers. Because they not filtered who’s join to their site.
I got warning for putting the scammers profile to my album which is what I am doing is just warn other female user.
It’s said breached their agreement. How about user like me the one want clean friendships and tried to warning other female user to be careful with tons scammers in their site.
This rubbish site ….and be careful … lots user also abuser.

This site is absolutely worthless. Not only are there a lot of scammers, rude and even absolutely crazy people here, but these scammers and crazies use the 'report' button as a weapon.

My own experience. A girl asked me why I wanted to learn a particular language. I said, it's because I like the literature of that language. The girl then instantly began to abuse the said literature. When I stopped talking to her, she reported me to the moderators! I do not know what she said to them, but the moderators then sent me a warning, telling me that I had to behave or would get my profile deleted! So, the site is absolutely insane - scammers and crazies proliferate, while honest people are given warnings or banned by the moderators.
