Free Online Dating

Singleswhoclick not completely free

mark — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 08:05:00 GMT

Singleshwoclick has been a frustrating experience for a couple of people who just joined 3loves. The free singleswhoclick site was not free in terms of time etc and this frustrated them. With 3loves, we're free, completely free. No catches. No hoops to jump through. This is what separates us from other sites which claim to be free.

Blocking phone numbers

Following the publishing of another person's phone number at our site as a vindictive measure, we have now blocked such publication. While people can share numbers in private messages, profiles cannot include phone numbers of any kind.

Lina, the dutch dating scammer

mark — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 07:56:00 GMT

Lina from the Netherlands, or at least that is how she represents herself, is a master online dating scammer. We caught her just as she was ready to ask for travel money. She's been removed from 3loves online dating. Her email address, in case you see her elsewhere is elenochka328@gmail.com. We have seen these scammers use the same email address elsewhere so by publishing it I hope we at least protect others.

Jessylove online dating scammer

mark — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 11:50:00 GMT

Beware of the email address jesskarichelle200@yahoo.com as it belongs to a scammer operating out of Kenya who is out for money and NOT love. We have remover her/his profile from 3loves and deleted the trail of messages.

Multiple profiles

You are welcome to load multiple profiles at 3loves free online dating. You could have one profile for regular activity and another based around adult content. There is no restriction except that we don;t want exactly the same profile loaded each time.

Not many of our members have more than one profile at this stage.

Dating scam low lifes

mark — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 11:52:00 GMT

Regulars here would know that we are on a mission to block access by dating scammers to our free online dating site 3loves. This mission involves sophisticated automated tools in our site and also manual checks. It is the manual checks which take the time as scammers are smart at getting around automated tools.

It's been our experience that a smart scammer will load between five and ten profiles at once knowing that you'll catch some but not all of their fake profiles. Our time is spent first on photos and then on the profile text. The people after the big payoff invest in their photos and profile accordingly - scams are hard to spot first up.

This past week we have removed 30 such scammers. What astounds us is that some come back with hard luck stories. Our zero tolerance approach is essential is the 3loves free offer is to work.

Why I hate dating scammers

mark — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 23:38:00 GMT

I have been corresponding with a lady who has been scammed by someone using another online dating site. Her story is a sad one. She thought she had met the man of her dreams and $10,000 later realised it was an expert at on line dating scams.

The lady contacted me because she didn't want to commit to 3loves until she knew how we handled scammers. While our apporach is not perfect, we are having success blocking people making demands for money or engaging in other scams. We have a zero tolerance policy and our users are in charge - if they repoirt a scammer they are gone from the site immediately.

My correspondent was happy and signed up. Hopefully, love is not far away.

Uncluttering free online dating

mark — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 12:34:00 GMT

Like any free site, we are chasing some revenue through advertising. Some of our members felt we had allowed too much advertising in so we pared this back. 3loves has around 33% less advertising now thanks to our most recent changes.

While this cut back in ads will impact revenue, it will not alter the site and its facilities. 3loves believes in free online dating!

Free online dating, it's real

mark — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 11:29:00 GMT

People using 3loves free online dating often ask when we will charge to use the site. Having been bitten by other free sites, they expect us to bite too.

This won;t happen. 3loves is free now and, as far as I am concerned, free forever. Nowhere on the site will we ask for a credit card - this is proof of our commitment.

Scammers bind together

mark — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 00:22:00 GMT

Online dating scammers get together and share insights into how to get on sites and scam people. Thain is the only conclusion we can draw from activity in the last week - we have been hit by a wave from the US and from Israel. Our scammer blocking tools have worked in most cases but a few have got through. Thanks to feedback from our users we soon find out and cut their access.

I hate that these people muck the online dating experience up for everyone. It is unnecessary and is unlikely to lead to them getting the cash they want - or at least rarely.

Many new members

mark — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 00:16:00 GMT

We're signing up new members at the rate of 120 a day at the moment. Half are loading photos. What is especially good is that our ratio of girls to boys is improving - many online dating sites are swamped by boys looking for girls.

What is especially appealing is the referrals we are getting from others to their friends having used 3loves.

RSVP still stalking

mark — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 00:02:00 GMT

RSVP is demonstrating that they see us as a credible dating site by paying Google to 'buy' 3loves - if you search for 3loves on Google the RSVP ad comes up. Nice.

Warning about money

mark — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 12:59:00 GMT

If someone starts talking about money in their first contact with you on a dating lite likes 3loves, they are most likely a scammer. Stay away.

We do our best to block these scammers but som get through - the best approach is to ignore them.

1,000 new dating profiles

mark — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 05:33:00 GMT

3loves free online dating has attracted more than 1,000 new members in the last week. That's a lot of new profiles - considering not everyone gets in thanks to our efforts to block out dating scammers. With the new members has come a wave of messages, winks and other communications through the site. Love is in the air...
