Gaystryst 

signed up, paid trial fee. realised that the site was essentially bots. tried to cancel account, received a message telling me I had to call a number. Called the number and spoke to a woman to ensure the account was deleted/cancelled. She confirmed and stated that the trial account had been extended by 7 days. after completion of that timeframe $44 charge appears on my card.

outright dishonesty and attempting to take advantage of people.

I agree with all the bad feedback that is written about this site. I joined on their 0.99p subscription. After about 5 mins of logging into the site You are bombarded with messages from obvious bots. Messages from various people that you just know they wouldn,t write. I decided to cancel my subscription and phoned Customer services (this is a call centre operated in the Philippines). I tried to cancel any subscription associated to my card which they said they would sort. This obviously failed because 3 days later I was charged £40.70. I phoned Customer services again and asked why I had been charged and they informed me that when i took out initial subscription I was signing up for 2 services. I told them that I had called to cancel all subscriptions 5 days previous but they said unfortunately I had not made that clear enough. I answered back saying that if they took time to listen to the caller instead of offering discount packages or free 7 day trials then maybe they would have understood. Don,t give them the benefit of your money. All the good reviews on here are false....am I bitter about my experience, absolute "YES", but if I can prevent anybody from making the same mistake by writing this review, then i,m happier for it.

I have been asked to do verification code.to meet up with someone I tall too on this site.is this normal they say signing up to hookup verification it's free and the site required it k. Order to meet up in person or is this a scam

Generally speaking online dating is not the way to go if you're trying to find long-lasting relationships. Gaystryst is the exception. Lots of high-quality gay members and an easy to use site means love is only a click away!

Got a bot message on Grindr that led here and I figured why not give it a try. Immediately realized it was nothing more than a phishing site with no option to respond unless I upgraded my membership. Received a ton of messages despite not having a profile pic posted which tells you all you need to know.

I decided to delete my account but I never received my email that has the 'code' that is required to be copied from my email into the website.

Blatant scam.
I took out a one day 99p subscription and hidden in the small print is a default monthly renewal of £42.
You have to phone the USA to cancel.

The site is a con from beginning to end. Draws in suckers by advertising free registration, but that is all that is free about it. Strictly for mugs only.... Writing this as I attempt to delete my account.... After much searching was told they'd email a code to complete the process. They eventually did so. Copied the code into the correct box only to be told it was the 'wrong' code... And so it goes on. Con artists doesn't begin to describe this bunch

Gaystryst is nothing but a scam. I felt like trying Gaystryst a while ago. That I regret. I signed up and after a while I wanted to cancel my subscription because it was expensive. No where on the page could I find a way for me to cancel it by myself so I had to call a number that was on a page for support. A lady answered. I explained to her I wanted to cancel my subscription. She never did that. Instead she became very cheerful explaing to me all the positive things about Gaystryst. I don't know if she worked at a call center... it was very weird. After the phonecall I contacted my bank. Told them what was going on and cancelled my old credit card and they gave me a new one. Gaystryst still has my old credit card number but they will never again get money from me.
Also. I think Gaystryst is collaborating with the app Grindr. I can not swear that it is like that, but it is in front of my eyes every time in Grindr so something is going on. I have a profile in Grindr and everytime I open Grindr in my phone I will get a message from a random profile (most likely fake). The message has nothing in it but a link. No matter what the link is called I will always be directed to Gaystryst if I open it. Is that a coincidence or what?

Piece of trash not a website! It's not even worth to get into deeper commenting. Just avoid this sh*thole & save your money guys! ;)
By the way keep your apologies, you, can stick it right up to your as* & ride it to the hell!!!

I consider Gaystryst to be thoroughly underhanded in their operations, and of course, exceedingly overpriced. Gaystryst sends a receipt for the fees for your 'trial period'. This is to give the initial impression that they are a company with integrity - it is a confidence trick. The catch is indeed hidden in their small print at the foot of the page ( you are not directed to read the Terms And Conditions as you are with most other companies) which, should you notice it, you may click on the link and discover that payments for full membership begin automatically if you do not cancel within the trial period. However, once full membership and (outrageously over priced) billing begins, you recieve no further e-mail notifications of receipt of payments - this is so as not to alert you to the fact that you are now being fleeced. Despite already being charged £58 - rising to £70 per month for full membership, you are likely to receive a pop up ad asking if you wish to add the 'VOD' , service , no price is shown but infact you will be charged a further £15 per month for this on top of the full membership fee. After discovering that I'd been charged approximately £350 over 5 months of membership I went through the process of cancelling my membership on the site, however at the end of the procedure you are then asked to telelphone the company ( based in the US) to finalise this!
Only last week I was contact by a Gaystryst member and asked to confirm whether or not I'd given his profile a 'like' on the website, as he suspected that this was a fake communication. I had to confirm to this person that I had never so much as seen their profile before let alone given it a 'like'.

You know what really sells me on a dating site? Threatening to delete a message I received from another member unless I upgrade to premium within the next minute. This of course are from fake accounts made by the site to rope you into paying for a membership. They of course never actually delete those emails, it's just strong arm tactics by garbage people trying to prey upon vulnerable people. Terrible site, don't waste your time.
