Summary Of The Scam:
- False Self Created Profile Pages Created And Maintained By The Staff
- They Use Pretend Emails As A Method To Make Money By Charging £1.50 Per Message
- Pretend "Flirts" As A Method To Make Money By Charging £1.50 Per Message
False Self Created Profile Pages Created And Maintained By The Staff:
ShagCity.co.uk has a great name for a hook-up site. With a name like that you would think that this would be the kind of dating site that you could easily meet women for a one night fling. The only drawback is that all the profiles are phony and have been created by the employees of Shag City. And just like the countless of other scams that we have analyzed and investigated ShagCity.co.uk is running the same deceptions. The fake profiles on this website are hard to spot. There isn't any kind of identifying logo so trying to find which profile pages are legit and which profile pages are phony is impossible.
From our experience it seems the more attractive looking the profile, the better chance that it's going to be fake. Using photographs of big-breasted twenty-year-old bombshells is pretty much a dead giveaway that you're looking at a phony profile that the website themselves have created. And a quick view of the members area of Shag City identifies that many of the profiles fall into this category (22-30 year old bombshell women with large fake breasts). Unfortunately it's all a fantasy in your mind and your chance of interacting and meeting these women is none. You will never meet any of these women for a date or anything else for that matter. It's all a dream in your mind that has been perpetrated by ShagCity.co.uk. They are building a dream in your mind that you will never realize because it's all a fantasy created to cheat you, lie to you and eventually if you're gullible enough to scam you out of your hard earned money!
Taken from the terms page section 8.4:
"You are aware and agree that we may use moderated and fictive profiles for online adult entertainment purposes. We expressly reserve the right to send messages to this site by self-created profiles. Physical contact with these fictive profiles is not possible."
This Site Uses Automated Programs To Send You Emails:
378 is the number of email messages that we're looking at right now. How the hell is it possible to receive 378 email messages while being registered on a dating site for less than seven days? You could be gullible and just assumed that you're the next best thing to sliced bread and women are dropping at your feet. But if you were honest with yourself you would quickly realize that something is simply not right with Shagcity.co.uk. There's no way in hell that anyone's receiving 378 email messages unless you're Vin Diesel or George Clooney!
And the really crazy thing is that the profile we made for Shag City is void of any information, void of any photographs and anything else. But we received 378 email messages! This is the most ridiculous thing we've seen in a while. Anyone who falls for these kind of scams is very desperate and basically willing to believe anything that is thrown at them. Guys you need to have some common sense and realize when you're getting duped!
Although we can't prove it we very strongly suspect that computer software programming is being used to send 378 emails to us. Common sense would tell we should be getting no emails since there's nothing to look at in the profile. Why the hell are women emailing us? It doesn't make any sense and the reason it doesn't make any sense is because it's phony. The only way that this makes any sense is that computer programming bots are sending us the emails not real girls.
Taken from the terms page section 8.4:
"We expressly reserve the right to send messages to this site by self-created profiles."
Pretend "Flirts" As A Method To Make Money By Charging £1.50 Per Message:
Most likely using the same kind of technology to send fictive bogus messages are also the "Flirts". A flirt is when someone sends you a short form message called a "Flirt". We have 24 flirts waiting for us. Chances of all of this being bogus is 100%. We also forgot to mention that if you want to respond to any email messages or "Flirts" on the site you need you need to pay over £1.50 per message sent.
If they get enough gullible suckers to purchase credits on Shagcity this site's owners have a windfall of money waiting for them. Don't be one of the guys that falls for these ridiculous con jobs. If you are getting inundated with flirts or messages now you know what's going on in the background. Computer bots camouflaged and disguised and made appeared to be real people are in fact not!

Absolutely and I appear to have been charged 15 pounds on occasions when not got credits and will be asking bank to look at debit card and credit card transactions to stop and reimburse if needed! I hope to earn real women on site I know that it's a scam as you say!
Did I just read that? Scam but I have met a woman there and also have two friends that I have their contact that I have fun with on WhatsApp.
Regradless of your situation is the truth that they create fake profiles, we are not lying. Do you think it’s ok for a datign site to create fake profile pages?
It is an absolute scam ! If anyone ever did meet anyone from off here it would be a miracle. They are just cheats and criminals preying on people's hopes and dreams – somebody should jail the owners.
It is an absolute scam and spam. They created an account using my email account without my consent and start sending me messages. YES, IT'S A SCAM and SPAM.
Thanks for conforming what we wrote about in the Shagcity review.
It is fake and I know exactly how it works.
Explain how if you have any new info that we haven’t published in this review.
Maz
its a total scam I created 2 different profiles but received exactly the the ladies contacting me on both profiles and using exactly the same wording that shows these are mainly computer generated I wish I had seen the reviews before I started using them . They are criminals robing people of their hard earned cash and I can not believed I fell for it so shame on me. Please read again what I said exactly the same ladies sending exactly the same messages to 2 different profiles so when I received their messages the same messages appeared at the SAME time on the other profile what more proof do you need. I did two profiles because I made a mess of the first one.
Not sure who is messing here but I did not write the comment above unless there is another Mario Recchia than me it's not funny. Please take the comment above off. Thanks
i used ite and purchased credits twice total £30 in all only got to use 8 messages when i paid for 20 i to have asked my banks fraud department to look into any chanceof getting money bck sent 9 emails to shagcity never had1 reply this site is a scam run by criminals
Hi i d'ont use this web.. i thinking it's free.i wonna delete.plaese.you can help me.thank you
Can confirm that it is all a scam. Fake profiles. People getting paid (A crap amount, people at the top will be loaded) for each message you send them. Goal is to keep you talking so that you keep spending money.
This site is fake I use to work for them, what the girls do is they have a username and sign in to the website. The messages generate to tons of girls and who ever is first sends a message back. we keep a history of what you walk about so we remember but we would just lead men on more for there credits. Its fake I don't work for them anymore.
Thanks for the info, proves what we have been saying about Shag City.
Hi Jessica,
I am also a past employee and would like to talk to you about a few things if you don't mind. I can be reached at exposeCW (Instead of CW, type in the company you used to work for) at gmail. Just a few questions
I found my boyfriend's pic and messages etc on shagcity. He says he has never been on it nor has he sent any messages.. personnel details etc. Is it possible someone could be using his details to chat to women?
maybe who knows. read the messages does it look like something he would say?
I'm not sure… I'm all confused. He showed me paperwork from the bank investigating card fraud. The bank refunded the money. He says it could be linked to that. But swears on his kids lives it wasn't him
Hi Julie, I am an ex employee who was employed by the site to chat to people. I am sorry to say that your husband was most likely using the service as only the female profiles were fake. If you are reading the messages then he is the one using it.
Hello Julie and ExposeCW!
I, as a man registered some fake male profiles, and used some other mens photos I found somewhere on Internet, possible LinkedIn. Some of this photos could be photos of your man.
I have done this to see what would happen. If this written in in this review is true. Yes, it is true. I got tons om messages, from usually the same girls to my different male profiles.
If you Julie, also have read your boyfriends messages, then ExposeCW are telling you the truth. You boyfriend is trying to cheat on you.
I was completely taken in by this website and apent a lot of money on credits for messages. I deleted all women under 35 and had a group of ones I thought were genuine. They tended to lead me on by always ending their messages, with a simple question which demanded an answer and forced you to buy more credits.
Mostly they would say nice things about you, make promises which were never kept, and always made spurious excuses why they could not meet you. Or agree to a meeting but cancel at the last minute, or even stand you up .
A site directed at lonely men who cn get hooked on it very easily.
My partner got put on this site and he never signed up for it it really dose are head in all the emails we are in a happy and healthy relationship why would he sign up to a site like this someone has signed him up who ever it is then u are immature and stupid need to grow up can someone please tell me how to get rid of the email bet how to get off the site as we have tried everything we can
While the "prompt" emails you get are bot generated (and totally ridiculous) I can confirm to all of you that people are paid to respond to your messages. I used to work for them. I wasn't able to live with the guilt of working for a scam company anymore. I told myself, "I am sure they read the terms and conditions that clearly state it is for entertainment purposes and profiles are site generated" but after seeing the damage it caused so many, I had to pull away and now I am blowing the whistle.
On our end we could actually see your profile information, who we are supposed to pretend to be and a history of all messages sent to that particular "character" you were speaking to. Messages trickle in and the ones we get are luck of the draw. At one time I would be having a long back and forth with a customer and if I got up to use the bathroom, I would come back and that message thread would have been snagged by another text chatter. Fortuntely we can see what other operators typed so we can at least TRY to have some continuity. This often became a hastle when the non-English speaking text chatters would hop on and type to people with broken English. After having coherant conversations and have it turn into "U WANT SUM FUK? TELL ME YOU LOVE ME BB", by the time that message thread would cycle back the poor customer would think this beauty he is so enchanted by was drunk, high or had a frontal lobotmy. It should be noted the odds are good that you aren't ever speaking to anyone in the UK, I am in the United states and had to have Google Maps up so I can at least to pretend to know where people live and of course where I am pretending to live. Never been to the UK but I sure know a lot about it now!
The worst part of the gig was making 10 cents a message but if a guy <or a "target" as the site calls them> writes a whole winding paragraph, you MUST write something really long back to make it look like you care as much as he does NOT WORTH IT.
The most devasting thing for me was talking to a man who just lost his wife. By the time his chain of messages made it to me, he had completely fallen in love with the girl in the photo and said he had spent thousands.
Let's get to the brass tax: most of the men on there were ugly old pervs with some of the ugliest dicks I have ever seen (yes, we got to see your dick pics) yet they truly believed the 2 Romanian lesbian porn stars in the fake profile picture would love to come and shag them. Maybe they would but you know it would cost you.
IF SOMETHING SEEMS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT PROBABLY IS.
Side note… people saying they met people off the site are shills for the company. You will NEVER meet anyone there. Not only was personal information blacked out, it is pretty much an impossibility as you are speaking to men and women all over the world that are more than likely not going to poach your information and go chat to you for free. It makes no sense that an ugly housewife from Texas would be able to "un-catfish you" after you think you were talking to some Instagram hottie who had her pictures stolen.
Thanks for all the great information om ShagCity.
Hi Elyssa,
I am also a past employee. I must admit, I find it surprising that you said to yourself that they know it is just a chat site with no chance of meeting up. When I applied, the person I talked to said that it was a big thing where people who applied didn't feel right because of morals which was understanding. It was in my first week where someone had mentioned that he had spent hundreds on the site which made me look into the site myself and remembered the name of the site from the "added to favourites" messages. Came across these reviews. There were times when I was freestyling when I would come across a certain user who I knew had been on the site for at least as long as I had been working, and a few months before that too. I would log off because I really didn't want to chat. I was really after the money.
If you don't mind answering a few questions, could you email me at exposeCW (except instead of CW, write the company you worked for) at gmail.
i know someone who uses Shag City.Ive told him its a Scam,But he honestly believes he has Gorgeous Woman wanting him.And he seriously believes these Woman are trustworthy and honest,So what does that say for him.Its nothing more than a Scam.All fake profiles etc.Any Man or Woman making a profile on that site Genuinely looking to meet someone,Seriously needs there Head Examined.As for These Centre Spread woman meeting up for Sex Sex Sex,lololol Yep Ritey O
Observation; – not only is Shagcity semmingly a scam sight – it is also linked with UKsexmatch.com…
I am a "basic" user of UKsexmatch and got a message on that site inferring that an "adorable_gtt" had shown interest… I decided to follow this up…
I was HORRIFIED to to discover that Shagcity had my IDENTICAL profile to that on UKsexmatch… even down to the "likes, flirts & messages etc."
So it would seem that Shagcity and UKsexmatch are in cahoots or one is cloning the other.
It is also observed that the "adorable_gtt" cannot be found on Shagcity.co.uk
So please be very much aware! – there is skullduggery across the two sites!!!
Yes UKSexMatch.com and ShagCity.co.uk are connected `100%.
Where do they get thephotos from for the fake profiles
Some photos look like they have copied them from porn sites. And some could be taken from Facebook and other social media sites. But the nude photos look like amateurs from porn sites.
I've spent a lot of money wasted it. No dates just chats at £1.50. Used my cards and phone line nothing. Just need to talk more. Can't leave phone number email address just a con
I have had several emails and corrospondence with these unsrupulous people over the past few days and they openly admit they, their site and processes are a con to get your money!
I have it in writing in a email, how can these people get away with things like this!! I only spent the minimal sum of money to test the system and within three messages I could see it was a total fake and a joke.
EVERYONE needs to complain, take action and put an end to these people!
I,m glad i saw this review as I have been suspicious of it for over a week I have spent a ton of money I have complained 4 times about the lack of consistency in the lack of regions displayed which costs you money,surely trading standards in holland could help.it is adverised in GBP and charged on euros resulting in a bank charge the set up is not legit and should be shut down.
"Connective Development B.V. " from Netherland, who runs U.K shagcity.co.uk and UKSexMatch.com, also runs the the same fake deception casual dating sites in Sweden at flirtmatch.se, in Denmark at flirtmatch.dk, in Netherland at flirtmatch.nl.
In Sweden this company is also running 15 clone URL´s with identical almost phony profiles. Example is swedensexflirts.com. As a guy you have to pay 1,5 USD for every message you send.
It is the same story here. The nice woman tells you that she wants to meet you "instantly". When you want to go further, you get a message, that she has to do something else, but she is possible free tomorrow
Allmost all girls pictures and usually also the profile-text is stolen from Instagram, Facebook, VK, other dating and xxx sites. I have found the pictures of several women, with other names, age and profiles, at other dating sites in Netherlands.
As an example is this girl called "Fashionista", I have chatted with several months. Lately I found that the two pictures she had sent is from the porn-star Victoria Blaze. I joked and confronted her about it. She answered "that she is a look-a-like", and is real. The funny thing, she doesn't know that I have exactly the same picture, I got from Victoria Blaze's Instagram-page, as the one "Fashionista" has sent me.
Other users of flirtmatch.se and it's clones has found out the same thing. Here is some user reviews from Trustpilot.com
"What a big idiot you have been. Agree with everyone here"
"Here, as many have written that you are going to save what you have written to these fake profiles and report it to the police, you also make a notification to the Consumer Agency and submit all your information, the more that submit your application and proof of the page. "
"Bluff to one hundred percent. Joined the flirt match about a month ago, during that time, have received about 800 invitations from women or whatever…"
" I'm not afraid I'm married. They also commit copyright and World Cup violations, with the fake profiles. In addition, they should be removed from google search engines and others."
"Actually, it does not get any star at all, I wish I could sue the site and demand all my money back, it's a shame to use people in this way, why did not the police get this? I'm so mad and angry about this so I can not find any words, unfortunately, have wasted a bigger capital on this site.."
"This is a professional fox page, i.e there is a Telemarketing team in Holland that deletes and changes data in sent messages. This team also makes custom profile profiles of photos they find online or Facebook. If you send messages to these foxes, they never want to meet, but please talk on.."
"I have had several emails and corrospondence with these unscrupulous people over the past few days and they openly admit they, their site and processes are a con to get your money!
I have it in writing in a email, how can these people get away with things like this!! I only spent the minimal sum of money to test the system and within three messages I could see it was a total fake and a joke. EVERYONE needs to complain, take action and put an end to these people!"

Shagcity isn't their only site they have at least 3 other sister sites and your profile is put on those without you being asked ukfornication is one of the other site names uksexmatch.com is another and sorry i can't remember the other one.An easy way to spot a fake on shagcity is if you look at the about me part of their profile if it has an email address in it its a fake / bot because your not allowed to have your email on view if you type it into your about me the whole of your about me is deleted and you may find your username slightly changed i used the username martin091260and if i tried to have my email on my about me then they changed my username to martin091 and it usally took them 3 or 4 days to change i back after i had sent 5 or 6 emails asking why it was ok for some of the females to have their emails on their about me but wasn't ok for me to have it on mine the usual excuse was they had deleted those female profiles
It is more likely the photos are probably stock from people that sold to a company just my 2 cents.
Firstly I just want to say that for anyone who used Shag City or any site like that from the bottom of my heart I am truly sorry!! I do freelance work and some months are feast and famine. Until recently I had a child with special needs to care for and needed additional income (I had no choice other than to transition him into a group home for kids). I went on different work at home forums and saw an advertisement for accompany hiring adult chat operators for acting. So I figured.. well why not? It's all for fun so what the heck? So this is how I was coached. It's an adult acting site where fantasies are acting out. Sure the profiles are fake but I was under the impression that the guys who were on these entertainment sites knew that. And was told a few took it seriously and wanted to meet. We were always told to never give into meeting and to keep the guy chatting. We were reminded that it was all for entertainment and these guys who took it seriously did not read the fact it's just that, for entertainment purposes!! I would have to say over the last few months of working, it made wonder how "dumb" these guys were that wanted to meet because most of them did. I really should have added the 2 and 2 together.. being coached to tell the guys that you live not far from them even if it's in a small town as we were told to use Google maps to look for nearby towns (I am in Canada by the way). And then being told to keep chatting with these guys and distract them every time they mentioned something about meeting. Every time I mentioned this to the coach the coach would say these blokes never read the print as it is their fault for not knowing it's an entertainment site. But if that was true then why was I told to tell them that we live in a city near them just by looking at Google maps? It started seeming fishy and then one of the guys mentioned "shag city" and then I decided to do some research.. lo and behold I found this!! Among other warnings. Omg I am so sick and I was under the impression I was to act out fantasies (as the guys were supposed to know it was just that and paid for it for relief or the lulz) when in reality I was being paid to catfish guys who were really looking for legitimate dates. And I can't even tell you how horrible I feel for some of those guys who had very sad circumstances happen such as losses of loved ones or losing their homes. I'm so so sorry! These are scammers who need to be shut down. It's also interesting that they don't allow you to share referral links on social media. Hmm. But they are ripping these poor guys off and scamming them into thinking they are going to meet that girl that may be out there AND are flat out lying to employees! What really is legit out there these days? That is it I need to learn to hustle up more business and work more on my freelancing work because that is the only legit thing!! So it seems.
I'm surprised you were unaware that the guys didn't know. When I was in the process of being recruited, one of the emails even went on about how the work involved talking to people that weren't aware that the profiles were fake. I even asked about it in the training and the person said to just try and change up the subject if anyone ever asked. So they know that the only reason their business is running is because the guys on the sites are unaware. I mean, no one reads the terms and conditions. The sites advertise as if they are dating sites where you can meet the women.
The danish Internet news-magazine Zetland hasa an investigating article and interviews by a danish journalist regarding the two shady owners, Rene Wolzak and Gaby Jonkman, of Connective Development B.V. aka Pondering Geeks.
The article is in two parts and is written in danish. You have to use Google Translate.
It is about MatchClub.dk in Denmark, one of the 41 fake adult dating websites Connective Development B.V. aka Pondering Geeks are using.
https://www.zetland.dk/historie/semELKma-aOZj67pz-e2ec5
Just something a little extra but pondering geeks are also the ones behind the chat client that is used to send messages from the fake profiles.
Hello ExposeCW and you other former employees of Connective Development/Pondering Geeks.
! I have been on the swedish version of shagcity (flirtmatch.se) since may, and has spent at least 1500 EURO, without any success.
So In august I stopped. To my surprise I still got messages from one women, who was the one of the first I get to conversate with. So I am writing back to here 5-6 times per month. If i don't write back to here, she usually write back again for the second time.
Could the person, the employed "player" behind her profile be really interested? Does the employed "players" doing this?
Sorry for the late reply. But the only thing the person messaging you is interested in is getting paid. They will send you a message in hopes that you will staart talking again and spending credits. The person you are talking to is not the person you think you are talking to. You haven't been talking to the same person the whole time. Just whoever is online at the time to reply to your message.
Thanks for the reply, ExposeCW. This people must be super-duper greedy. From august I have spent 15 USD every second month to talking with this woman/women, in a small hope that she is a real person.
Swedish TV4 News published 2018-01-09 a reportage with a interview with a swedish employee, a "operator" called "Anna". She told the some story as you.
Flirtmatch had 35.000 customers under 2017. She thoughts that 99,9 of the profiels are fake. The pictures of the women is stolen from porn sites. The requirement of 30 employees is that they have to produce 100 new fake profiles every week. She told that she worked there, for it was generating "very good income".
Further in the reportage a view of a operator's computer screen is availible, where it is seen the amount of euro recieved per hour, from us scammed customers. Under 1 hour a ordinary day 91 operators was logged on the system. Their system have also a function to send the operators message in the future with date, hour and minutes.
The reportage and interview is availble on YouTube. It is in swedish.

UKsexmatch

are all linked to this scam website
Shagcity.co.uk's visitors traffic graphs and which other 46 scam websites, who use the same Google Analytics account 74283419 are availible at this link: https://w3bin.com/domain/Shagcity.co.uk
The visitors has gone down under this month, january 2018.
A bit more visitor statistics are avalible at: https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/shagcity.co.uk
Here you could se that 96,9 percent of the visitors are from United Kingdom. A bit strange is that 1,1 percent of the visitors are from Ghana.
Does the 1,1 percent visitors from Ghana mean that the "operators" are working from Ghana? Ghana is a wellknown country for it's date scam industry. It have a cheap workforce, already educated in date scam.
I don't know the real answer. Could some other comment on that?
the 1% could be romance scammers from Ghana.
More interesting information is availible here "Where do visitors go on shagcity.co.uk?" at the Alexa link https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/shagcity.co.uk
It shows the percent of visitors at the "Subdomain" admin.shagcity.co.uk to be 1,01 percent. Nearly the same percent of visitors from Ghana showed in "Rank in Country".
I understand this numbers as that shagcity.co.uk is controlled from Ghana. Is it right or wrong?

pretty amazing how big of a scam these fake dating sites from Connective Development B.V are.
I was only on ShagCity for a very short time,but I did notice some anomalies.I moved to LocalFling where I remained for almost a year,so I'm in a good position to judge what's going on there.Everything you say about ShagCity is true of LocalFling as well.I noticed lots of anomalies,but the women always had a plausible explanation why they couldn't meet up.I have to admit I was very gullible & the penny should have dropped much sooner than it did,so I ended up spending a lot of money to no purpose.My opinion is that at least 95% of profiles are fake,especially ones purporting to be written by very attractive young dollybirds,but I think a few profiles might be genuine.After all,the site must attract bona fide women who are what they say they are,so what happens to their profiles? Surely they're not all binned & replaced by hired fakes? It would help give LocalFling an illusion of authenticity if a few of their profiles were legit.To avoid being fleeced,don't tell them where you live,even if it's on your profile,but ask where they live.Often their supposed location is impossibly far away or diferent from the one in their profile..But the biggest giveaway of all is their absolute refusal to use normal emails. A woman who prefers to use another means of communication rather than credits is probably genuine,but likely to live 100s of miles away.

I'd like to help. Am earning an income, I also have a heart
If you remember my username, then thanks girls for fooking up my life even more, after my wife left me last Sept. On top of that I ended up looking after my ill mother with dementia. I turned to the website not knowing for months where my head was at. I was hoping to have some fun to ease the pain I was in and to have a new social back to take a girl out on a date, the NSA or FWB sex didn't even matter to me. I just wanted to be around a nice personality of a woman to talk, laugh, and cry with. I was totally honest and truthfully with all the girls, I chatted too, with my details included. I had to end it all as I had nothing left to give. My mind was all over the place with chronic depression and not knowing what I got myself into, with my state of mind at the time with my problems in life. After the third and final quitting of Shag City, I had blown my savings and maxed my credit card out. I am ashamed to say that over those nine months I wasted £3-4K. What did I get in turn for that mind games, broken promises, stood up twice in public thinking it was all real. I hope others are reading this now, and are quitting before they spend what I did on the site. Now I am picking myself up, and started to go out to a local bar to meet people face to face as social media is totally anti-social in every aspect of the words. So guys/gals pack it in and don't get fulled in whatever state of mind you are in. Go live life love and have laughter in the personal 5 senses (seeing, smelling, touching, hearing and speaking) of getting to meet a partner. Now that is being sociable and not being locked behind a screen. This Jon Doe is now dead from Shag City.
