Review of BeNaughty customer complaints, rating & accreditation on Better Business Bureau
Is BeNaughty registered on BBB?
BeNaughty is not registered on BBB. Therefore, this business has no BBB rating and accreditation.
This is the response i received from EASYDATE, notice how unprofessional the letter written and never mentions my refund. Will keep the public updated on final results.
Dear member,
Thank you for contacting customer service.
We take complaints against members very seriously. Unfortunately we do have the occasional member who is insincere and gets through the system. Once recognised we quickly removed them from our database. However, the problem of female scammers and advertisers has become very urgent within the Internet. We are constantly filtering members' IP addresses and mailing processes to settle this issue down. Although it is time-consuming procedure to trace the scammers on the stage of registering with our site due to the use different tactics, we are interested in spotting fakes and taking them off our database.
Every profile created on our website is manually checked and approved before being allowed on the site. We have various security checks when approving profiles, but some users still manage to sneak by these checks and onto the website. For these users we rely heavily on other online members to report them so we may remove them from the site before BeNaughty manage to cause any trouble. Still Easydate Ltd do not and can not guarantee success while using our online dating services. Our site is not involved in Member-to-Member dealings.
Our job is to make sure our site is as friendly as possible and that all members have a positive experience.
Please would you be so kind as to list the members that you think may be fraudulent so that we may take action?
Thank you for reporting this to us we really appreciate members like yourself.
Thank you for using our site,
Good luck!

This SCAM is crap, run far away from it and its FAKE GIRLS!
"very glad u answered.
Didn't say how old i was - am 24
Just checked, i can accom, you'd need get to where i live on carrison
Street. That's in berkeley
If not, i would prefer to find a motel... the motel 6 on embarcadero
Street in oakland seems great.
Are you able to come and hook up at the westfield center around 9?
That'd be excellent! No big deal if you can't.
Lets talk more online soon. Can't phone right now. Too shy! But click
On this... we can talk on here.
http://benaughlty.com/profiles/...
It takes about 2 mins to make the profile, don't cost nothing either.
Make sure and check out my naughty photos aswell! Those revealing ones!
Going online to chat with you straight away, my nickname is... there.
Will be waiting for you babe.
Hug!
Donna
What you get after you log in? Lot messages from all over telling how nice to meet you. The senders don't even check your profile. You get messages even if you donät have photo! The only way to read messages is by UPGRADING to a paid subscription. Don't bother. All the messages are fakes; sent by imaginary people. The photos are all fakes. The company has hired lots of workers to send fake and nice messages to all newcomers to get them to subscribe. If there are some real messages, you can't really tell. The whole thing is just nicely packages scam.
Btw, this company has opened several similar other sites that operate exactly the same way. All the foul pictures are the same. Like www.douwant.me
Simply. Stay away. And spread the word.
So the same they i canceled my account, aftert arguing for 15 minutes with a customer service clerk (that i had to call). Finally they cancelled my a account.
The day after, i have a charge of 39,99$ CA on my credit card for a subscription on loveaholics.com (wich is the same interface as benaugthy.com but with different colors) a site that a have checked out but never subscribed to. The company that charges your credit card is tnpay4tn.com and they are really dificult to join. I had to call the security department of Master Card to join them and make a conference call with me in it to make sure the refund the charge.
So Stay Away!
100% of the girls there are fake. They claim they don't hire people and whatnot, but they have only fake profiles. They all say the same thing. "wanna chat?" "Let's chat" "can u chat right now" "chat this chat that". No one in America uses the word chat so often and every girl in benaughty says it. Their grammar was also off, leading me to believe the fake profiles are people not in America.
Also what you guys can do is save the image of the profile and upload it on tineye.com to get a reverse image search. You will find 80% of the girls stole their profile picture from other places. The other 20% are still not real though, just doesn't get found where they got their picture from. Most are from whatboywant.com.
When I ask a girl for her number or email address or some form of verification they completely dodge the question. They say "I like this site for now" "we can chat here" "Trust me i'm real" (even though tineye.com says otherwise) "Don't take this the wrong way, but I don't even know you"
They are all fake. Do not get your hopes up or think, well maybe... I did and had to go through a very annoying process in canceling.
Lo and behold, shortly after the trial period, a mysterious charge shows up on my bank account for almost 35 dollars. I had to call the bank to figure out what this unknown charge was about. Turns out it was from an online dating service.
These people are absolute shameless online scammers and fakes. Not only were 99% of the profiles on their site obviously completely fake, just people using false pictures of attractive women to try to milk you for personal information, BeNaughty tried to make unauthorized charges to my bank account after the fact, and take money I absolutely did NOT agree to pay for any service.
I not only turned off the auto renew online, I actually called in an talked to a REAL person by phone to make SURE there would be no auto renew charges posted to my account. And STILL they tried to charge me. The charges are now disputed by my bank and I'm receiving a full refund for stuff I never agreed to.
DO NOT trust these people with your banking info. They will rip you off. Stay away at all costs!
Even trying to remove the account where we had given them no financial details involved nasty virsuses on our computer. There is a way to do it (google 'remove account for XXX' It does work). But interestingly, in the up to ONE HOUR it takes for them to email you the code to completely remove your account, we got over 160 messages from "genuine future partners" begging us to stay on line. PLEASE. This site is a disgrace, a sham and preys on vulnerable people. Please don't fall for it!
1. Interface (the most useful feature of the website)
The chat interface is broken. I reported this many times and no action was taken. I tested it with a woman I met on the site. I sent her messages and she sent me messages…. Nothing came through. When we went to support, BeNaughty claimed the people were ghosting us. SMH …. Guys, if you are chatting out your best lines and you cannot be sure if it is getting to the woman or if she is capable of responding …. You are wasting your money.
2. Women on the site –
A. The site does not require women to adequately fill out the questionnaire; I had no idea who I was communicating with most of the time.
B. Women who do not pay for a membership may not be able to respond to your chats. I did not find this out until I had used the site for a while. Guys, you cannot tell which women can respond and which ones cannot, so you don't know if you are being ghosted or if the woman is interested and just cannot respond.
C. Scammers -Until I figured out a work around, I was approached by hundreds of women selling one service or another or attempting to scam me. It was more than annoying, dealing with all the scammers, the company could fix this if they tighten their policies.
3. Billing Scam
A. Additional Charges from other billing names- I upgraded on a credit card, the charge came through I accepted it but then an additional charge came through with another named on it. My credit card company verified the same Billing ID as BeNaughty.com multiple times but a manager on benaughty.com denied it was their charge.
B. Prepaid Card Lies – I tried to pay with a prepaid Credit Card as customer support had suggested - I could not. A lie, multiple support people told me was that I could pay with a Prepaid card (I live in the US). My PrePaid card could not be used outside the US on a website …. BN also does not tell its customers it is a foreign company and support is operated in the Philippines. I do not care to ascribe reasons to why BN wants its customer to pay by credit card, but you can figure it out.
4. Customer Non-support
A. Customer support was downright rude and had no interest in helping me resolve my issues. Three customer support managers hung up on me. In dealing with customer support, I got the feeling that their attitude was …. "Take what we give you, if you don't like it, go somewhere else."
BTW Check the BBB rating on this site before signing up.
Unless you're a very very naive person, you'll immediately see that the 90% if not all female members are scammers, bots, and fake or inactive profiles managed by employees of the website.
The conversations you'll have will make you feel like you're taking with a crazy person, answering totally unrelated things, or answering with other questions, or saying strange things, then contacting you again another day acting like you'd never talked before, and more.
All is a mix of bots and employees, plus a huge, absolutely overwhelming amount of scammers trying to get your email and then asking you money.
Plus, at the exact moment of creating an account, with no pic and no info, you receive a ton of messages from super top models living just in your area. Plus, if you subscribe and cancel the subscription, in the very exact second that the subscription ends you suddenly receive a ton of messages and you can't read them anymore of course.
Do not, I repeat do not waste time and money there.
And if you do, after reading this warning, you deserve the consequences.
Appauling scam. It's only a shame that people come to read these reviews AFTER having a terrible experience and not before.
I got notification on my mobile phone for an app and then was bombarded by emails telling me I had messages. Just to find out what BeNaughty were all about - and to try and sign out, I paid £3.50ish for a days membership.
The next day I see my bank account has been charged an additional £14.90 and £39.99. For what?! As far as I was concerned I did not authorise these payments and immediately felt scammed. Astronomical fees, once I had neither ability nor desire to pay. I would not have chosen to make these payments and I felt hoodwinked to make me pay them.
I decided to cancel the membership immediately, but the instructions for leaving were difficult to find on the site and even when you find them you discover you have to make a telephone call with a reference number. Even though the site explains that this is a '24/7' number, it isn't. As soon as I became aware of the payments they had taken I tried to leave and phone this number, but there was no answer. This then meant I wasn't able to cancel my membership in the 3day grace period the company later told me I had to cancel within. I couldn't cancel my membership in the time allowed because I had to call a phone number which was not manned.
Furthermore, calls to the number to resolve these problems were charged at 14p per minute - and there is a long prerecorded message you have to listen to before you get to speak to anyone... further separating you from your cash.
When I eventually got to speak to someone, I had to speak to three people to sort things out. Each one had accents which were very difficult to understand. One person in particular was almost incomprehensible and so it was impossible to understand what he was saying, making it impossible to resolve problems and meaning I then I had to call the number and go through the process - and pay the charges concerned - all over again.
Cowboys. Avoid. Complain. Report them.
However, my anger has softened and I write this reply after a cooling off period. This is important as I feel it is necessary to set out my experience with BeNaughty, in the hopes of convincing others to stay away from them and their other dating sites.
Here is what you need to be aware of:
(1) At BeNaughty, they ask you to cancel your membership prior to expiration of your membership or they will continue to bill you. This "negative optioning" is a tactic that no respectable business will employ. In Canada, the telecommunications giant, ROGERS, tried this and there was an enormous backlash as it was widely held that this tactic would allow the giant to take money which was never intended for them. Sound familiar with BeNaughty?
(2) Your attempts to cancel will be fraught with difficulty. First, you must cancel online, then call in with a cancellation code which will force you to speak with one of their operators (keep in mind that none of the larger more reputable dating sites have a 2-stage cancellation procedure).
This 2-stage process is a major pain in and of itself, but it is obviously a way for them to keep you on the hook for as long as possible for further billing. In my case, their website verified my successful cancellation several times. I was careful to cancel online many times, to ensure I would not be billed further. The first call I made to quote the cancellation code made it clear that the code was not needed. In fact, they never asked for the code. They offered extended membership and upgrades for free. But what they don't tell you is that they will not accept your request for cancellation at that time, and you must call in again. Once again, I cancelled successfully online several times. However, on the new day of expiry of my membership, I called to ensure cancellation was successful. The operater saw my efforts to cancel, and updated my file accordingly to show my request for cancellation came prior to my membership expiry date.
This is where the scam comes alive: I noted my credit card was billed and called them. They sent my complaint "up" and I received only emails saying they could not give refunds. Even in the face of my case showing their online website erred several times by verifying my request, and, their operator updating my file with my request to cancel, they would still not refund.
To be clear, I am a lawyer. I know their fine print says cancellation must be online and then verbally. This puts an onus on the member. However, in law, their "no refund" policy is not to absolve them of responsiblity when their website errs or their phone operator ignors your wishes. Despite me asking for a specific response to what they will do given their website and phone operator shortcomings, they would only quote the "no refund" policy. See the absurdity? In other words, they will not refund your money no matter what error they make in billing you.
(3) The site itself is a hot-bed for scammers. Your inbox fills daily with obvious scammers. Communicate with them briefly and you will soon be asked to send the scammer money for their cause. Even without communicating with them, it soon becomes apparent that a contact from the other side of the earth must be a scammer. In fact, some of the contacts will come from fictional cities.
(4) Reporting the scammer is not worthwhile. I reported dozens and continued to see them appear subsequent to my complaint.
(5) As your membership expiry date approaches, you will begin to see your inbox fill up. No doubt the administrator is doing this to beckon you to extend your membership.
In summary, your money will be wasted as this site has dozens more scammers than legitimate members, and you will always be at risk for being billed further given the difficulties they will cause you when you wish to cancel.
As a futher caveat, be aware of their other sites. Below is a list of the sites that they offerred myself membership in lieu of a refund, which I obviously did not accept. They considered it better for them to have my money and see this review online.

If anyone needs further clarification, I am more than willing. (note that I did make a positive connection with this site, but obviously that does not mean that BeNaughty is reputable, ethical and/or scamless)
1. Poor at giving out refunds (Here is a story from scam.com)
Topic: Beware; dating site benaughty.com is a scam
Author: madseadog
Date: 06-15-2009, 05:14 PM
"After offering you a 3 day trial period for 2.99 GBP, BeNaughty then help themselves to a month membership fees after you give them your credit card details.
When you complain after checking your account, (as in my case 2 weeks later, fortunately sooner rather than later) they say they don't refund your money as you used the site.
After reading through all the small print, you are supposed to give them 3 days notice not to become a full member which actually means you are supposed to do this before you actauly join! If you don't notify them, they just continue to milk your account!
This is nothing more than a money stealing scam-don't even go there!"
2. Many Fake profiles (Story from the complaints board)

Topic: They purposely use fake profiles and fake msgs to get you to sign up
"After creating a profile for BeNaughty.com i was hit with over 50 emails from supposed other members wanting to chat but when i bought the membership emails down to zero and the women in the chat are all from Ghana or want you to view their camshow... I personally think that Benaughty.com should be sued for everything they are worth and shut down immediately... they purposely use fake profiles and fake msgs to get you to sign up. Stay away from it, i learned the hardway."
3. Possible "claims" of photo tempering (Story also from the complaints board)
Author: compu8

Topic: Illegal use of my photo
"I am writing to you because i feel abused and helpless. I joined an adult dating site a few months ago, it is called BENAUGHTY.COM A few days ago I discovered that my profile was used illegally by the administration team to contact members of the site that I had no interest in. I was very annoyed and decided to give up on there services. After that I found a new fake profile on the site that had my pictures and wrong details pretending I was a different person. I contacted them by phone and several emails and they have been ignoring me. Please help me I don't know what to do to get that fake profile cancelled. I feel used and its making me very depressed that they are using my image to get different men to pay for subscription to join their site without my approval. Please help me! Please."
This benaughty.com site should end up being nonexistent for all of its bad and negative ways.
I want to rate it ZERO out of Five!
I give credit to the very smart people that set up and must be making a ton of money off this very sophisticated scam site.
Think of how much money BeNaughty must be making if they can afford to pay people to run fake ads and sit around and "fake chat" with the suckers that sign up.
Like other people have said, some 'naughty hotty' saw my singles ad. On Craigslist and begged me to chat with her on Be Naughty.
She seemed local and knew a few local references, so stupidly, I played along.
She was gone by the time I tried to find her on BN, but I got hooked on BN because it was so cheap to sign up for a few days and had so many local hot chicks listed, even though I had read all the reviews about the billing issues and scam warnings.
Well let me tell you what I learned:
When you sign up for their very inexpensive 'trial membership" you need to look carefully at the many default settings that are checked off that say you are agreeing to automatic renewal and upgrade of your membership.
Even when you uncheck these, you end up paying double the quoted price.
But it's still super cheap compared to other dating websites, so you will want to give it a try. It's up to you. My advice is read my review and don't bother.
The fun starts when you realize that you want to get out!
I got so sick of the scams that I discovered in the first 36 hours on this site, that I wanted to cancel my membership before it ran out.
You need to navigate deep into your account settings to find the cancellation setting.
Then they email you a 'cancellation code' created and tell you that YOU HAVE TO PHONE THEM TO CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION using the code they just emailed to you. By the way, they are open 8am-5pm.
When I did call to cancel, the "Customer Service Rep" RAISED HIS VOICE AT ME, CUT ME OFF, TRIED TO SPEAK OVER ME AND TELL ME THAT I WAS WRONG! WTF?
The guy said I didn't need to phone them because I had already clicked on the cancel setting and that he wouldn't delete my account because I had another 48 hours free left on it. When I read back to him exactly what the cancellation email said "call this number to cancel" he got angry with me and started talking over me.
When I said I was getting all kinds of spam email, he said "Well, you don't have to cancel because of that, it's my job to take care of that for you, I will fix it."
They are well trained and pushy. If you are a thrill seeker, then by all means, sign up to Be Naughty and go through this too.
How many professionally photographed HOT, HORNY, LONELY 23 year old girls do you think are super attracted to divorced guys in their 40's?
Well, I can tell you, on Be Naughty, there are LOTS OF THEM!
As soon as your account is active, you start receiving flirts and messages from "local" girls.
Again, it's sophisticated robot software that matches your location settings to hundreds of fake profiles and then starts sending you winks, flirts and cookie-cutter messages.
Then you will find yourself actually chatting with a real person. Wow! Far better response times than Match.com or Adultfriendfinder, right? Yes, but they are paid chatters.
I was skeptical that I was chatting with a "local girl", so I threw her a curve ball in the middle of our chat:
"What's your favourite mall to shop at (in our town)"
She replied "Thanks, so what would you consider doing fun and naughty with a girl like me?"
One girl admitted to me that she was paid to chat and keep me using the website.
Another "local girl" I could see logged on for 14 hours. At one point her mannerisms changed and she started using very British slang. Oh, surprise! Be Naughty is HQ'd in the UK.
Don't get me wrong, there are some "real" profiles and people using the website. You can easily spot them by their crappy photos or obvious desperate looks. I was able to chat with some of them, but do you want to know WHY none of them ever connect with you outside of the BN website?
It's because BN FILTERS EMAIL ADDRESSES OUT OF CHATS.
When I would type my email address into a chat saying "Hey, let's get out of here. You can reach me at *******@hotmail.com"
The real person I was chatting with told me that they never saw my email address. When they looked at the chat history window, they could see that the sentence with my email address in it was BLANKED OUT.
Again, a very sophisticated website that is able to filter email addresses out of chats to prevent people from connecting outside of BN.
You can get around this by typing your email address like this:
"joesaddress at hot mail dot com"
I met some people that could read my email address, but they admitted that they worked for the website and were paid to keep me talking and/or were accessing BN from Flirt.com.
One great girl convinced me to watch her cam for free, on a pay per use site (juicycams.com that had bad reviews too, I noticed). I had to give my credit card information to sign up "for free" to juicycams.com, but then she wanted me to watch her on a different webcam site that was affiliated with juicycams.com.
The only catch was that I had to RE-ENTER ALL OF MY CREDIT CARD INFORMATION ON THIS OTHER 'FREE' CAM SITE TO ACCESS HER.
The site was an obvious fake and I would have essentially handed them my credit card info.
What's crazy is that she was walking me through this process the entire time using the BN chat. The closer I got to entering my credit card info. On the fake cam-site, the more excited she got. And that's when her "English" started going to hell in a handbag and I said:
нет, спасибо!
This is a message to any men out there wanting to seek 'No Strings Attached' fun over the internet.
I strongly suggest you do not go anywhere near 'benaughty', or it's sister site (which is linked) 'sexintheuk'.
BeNaughty offer free subscription to females which leaves the site vulnrable to fake profiles, of which there are many. There are also a collosal amount of females trying to get you to sign up to webcam sites.
After complaining to the admin team, they had no answers to my questions, nor would they refund me. In the 3 weeks I was registered, I spoke to just 2 real women (totally not what I was looking for either), and one of those we were moaning about the site, she had tried to block some creep that kept emailing her, after complaining to admin, they haven't done a thing about it.
I'm young and good looking - so if it was real surely I would have got at least one offer in that time. I got emails from girls, but they never respond to my replies, nor does anyone respond on the text chat.
I even got an email from some lunatic saying they were going to kill me!
These sites are very poorly managed, no profiles are screened, some of the features (like video chat) do not work properly and all they want is to entice men in and take your money. As far as i'm concerned, it's a fraud! I wouldn't be surprised if they also own some of the webcam sites. The real company name for these sites is 'EasyDate'.
I urge you to steer very clear of these sites!
P.S. I have had to rate this site, unfortunately I can't give it a ZERO star rating.
