Illicitencounters Reviews 

Sexist beyond belief. Free for women but expensive for men. Instead of charging a reasonable rate, they are ripping off men. Levelling up to the decrement of men. Lots of fakes. Don’t bother.

It’s early days yet, but not promising. I’ve been virtually kissed twice, but the ‘selected profiles could not be viewed’ Chatted, but the message flow just goes completely cold. Asked if I would pay a train fare from Manchester to London - agreed - but then she wanted the money in her account before she bought the ticket! (I mean, come on?)
I was on I. E. once before - 4/5 yrs ago - with ok success. However this is going to be uphill. Agree with previous reviewers that the amount of interest in your profile when you’re not a paying member is vast. Then you join - very little. Feels a bit scammy - lots of computer generated profiles. Forum is a joke, the site needs updating.

Question is does IE work?
In my experience it has. However there is some work to be done. A good written profile explaining what one wants to find, will connect you with some one out there. There are no fake profiles on IE just people on the other side that either find you interesting or not.
As all hard work does pay off. I’ve had several meets with some wonderful ladies.
Then there is the connection. When you meet your date you will know that this is the person. I would like to say lastly dear fellow men don’t give up. To the ladies out there on IE please do try to reply to messages you feel are good. It could be the start to your enjoyable adventure. Nothing is certain till you meet your ie over a drink or dinner.

So. Women are free! They have the power. My affair partner shared her perspectives. And they get free membership from sending however many messages. So just when you’re thinking you’re chatting… you’re not really.

As with the design of it 😂 it’s so poor. So so poor. With all the money they make from the well to do men that can afford it. God knows it’s a con.

Ideal site for those whose marriages are no longer a 'bed of roses' - when you need that other person with whom to share thoughts and intimacy. Think of it as therapy not cheating

This is my second review. Go find my first one, it’s full of insights and truthbombs …

This one however is a OMG! This site is so archaic. It boasts a chat forum that isn’t. I’ve been using this site on and off for several years and can only remember 1 single design update. And as for the clowns who run customer service. I reported someone for posting alternative contact details in their profile. They were so clever,
Stevie Wonder would have found it, but IE customer service clowns couldn’t and merely repeating to me their rules governing contact details, was their way of dealing with it.

Honestly if it’s a slow Netflix or Prime night I urge you to engage the muppets running this site, you won’t be disappointed!

My reply to the kingdom of stupid below:

Honestly, do you operate a time share for brain cell scheme. I didn’t bemoan the fact that I couldn’t use contact details, I asked, (sarcastically, although that doesn’t always translate well in text), if you’ve changed the rules then perhaps I should be allowed to add mine, seeing as you’d approved a profile which a had an obvious Kik reference in it.

What’s the issue? Is it your bots or your customer care (in your case an oxymoron) which is at fault.

Oxymoron - bwahahaha, ‘please sir he called me a rude world.

And I have paid and used your services in the past, so I’m speaking from experience and fact!!!

Stay away from this site. They give the impression that if you buy an "enhanced" package it is only for a certain number of weeks but they then continue to charge cards at a basic £99 rate. A complete waste of time and rip off. Fake users are of monumental proportion.

Joined IE for 3 months in 2021 because I didn't want to waste my time on the dumpster fire that is Tinder for the over 50s male.
I paid for the enhanced membership and remembered to cancel the auto renew on the membership fees, this is fairly standard Internet practise so I won't criticise them for that. I was also aware of the interest generated pre sign up and was prepared for the barrage at the end as my membership was coming up for renewal, sometimes being a cynical old sod can have its advantages!
I'm quite a creative person and so I was able to put together a profile which I thought might help me to stand out, which it did to a certain extent. Yes I got messages from people 200 miles away, yes I got some bots directing me to other sites, I got a couple of scammers and at least 1 from someone who sounded slightly unhinged! But I never got further than that. Most women chatted briefly and disappeared, some seemed initially very keen others were a little to good to be true. I went on the many forums on the site to try and drum up interest that way. I also contacted customer service for some help in case I was missing something and they really did do their best to help me out bless them. But in the end I got nowhere which was hard to take, especially for a guy whos own wife isnt interested but hey thats not IEs fault! Most of the women on there obviously wanted something different from what they already had at home (the tall, dark and handsome vibe was very much in evidence) which makes sense. I don't have that so I drew a blank (5'7" greying and pretty average looking if you must know).
In conclusion then:
1. We should all be aware of the standard Internet dating site tactics, remember to cancel auto renew first thing and be aware of unwarranted "interest"
2. They do try their best to help (I was starting to feel sorry for them in the end but it wasn't to be).
3. There are scammers as well as genuine profiles but that's the same everywhere.
4. It's Internet dating so it is what it is. If you throw everything at it long enough you will probably find someone. My therapist and my mum tell me I have many great qualities, maybe I didn't sell myself?
5. Yes ladies get it free, live with it.

Thanks for getting me together with a wonderful lady!

I tried out this site for the first time in 2019 and would have rated it with 5 stars then. Was not confronted with a lady who was not genuine and had a great time!
Fast forward to 2022! This site has now been infiltrated with so many women ( or men claiming to be women) that it’s become a complete and utter waste of time.

Keep away and do your bank balance a favour!

Great deal of computer generated profiles - How do I know? When my membership had come to an end, and I decided not to renew, all of a sudden I got a whole load of messages and 'gifts' - More in two days, than during three months of membership. Does IE think I'm stupid!?
Two women 'gifted' me a Whisky Tumbler within a few minutes of each other! - Really!? By comparison, in three months of membership only one gift from what seemed like a genuine lady on the other side of London.

In conclusion, it is a farce. Chances of finding a real person close to where you live, or someone who is not time wasting, in some sort of dreamland, are very low!

Please don't waste your money. Im a successful, attractive, tall, guy.... and yes, I had a little interest. However, it all came to nothing. Once I worked out what Illicit Encounters was dong with fake baited hooks, and I analysed the real profiles, I got wise to the fact that the the success rate is pitifully low - You have been warned!

Oh, and well over half the reviews here are 1 star, that speaks for itself.
- Look at the 5 star reviews, they are NOT genuine believe me!
UPDATE -
Interesting, shortly after I post a real review of IE, a review pops ups (with 4 stars this time) saying they met their fourth wife on the site! Really? If you met your wife on this site, why only four stars? Surely you would naturally give the site five stars? Regretting your Fourth marriage already?
The comment, people are bitter, really is not true, and a cheap dig - You try something, realised it is not what it seems, you move on... No big deal. If you want to pre-warn people, surely that is what makes TrustPilot, trustworthy? Wow, you have to be careful online!

This is my second time using illicit encounters 10 years apart. Then i met an amazing woman and we had a very long international affair. We spent a lot of memorable time together abroad mixing business with pleasure.

Sadly, we went out seperate ways years ago. I came back to encounters in the hope that I might strike lucky a second time round and I’ve already found a woman that’s gotten me excited. We’ve met up a bunch and it’s going well.

I wouldn’t hesitate to come back here if the need arouse again in the future. It’s the best site going, serves a purposes well.

I've found Illicitencounters to be an excellent site to find genuine women who are looking for an extramarital relationship or affair.

Watch out for the auto billing even when your profile is turned off. Total rip off

Ladies do not touch this site with a barge pole. The admin team have completely disregarded an issue I had with one of their members. Without going into too much detail, my private images including my face where screenshot by a member and then sent to various other people he was speaking to you arrange gang bangs etc. this was all done via another messaging platform.
Admin will not remove the member and have advised me to contact the police, absolutely shocking which shows they have no duty of care to the women that use that site,

Illicitencounters.com does have real women on the site, and it benefits women more than men for sure. My review is not aimed at the website directly, but rather at the poor experience that a man will have. Firstly it is a rip off in terms of price £140 is just too much. Not worth the experience. Secondly, with women is appalling. You battle to find women close by and the actual number of active women must be questioned. Then, there is the appalling lack of response from women, which does raise the question of website generated profiles. Since there are almost no profile pics, it is a hit and miss effort. You spend so much time trawling the website, trying to find someone pleasant. In terms of terms of the number of responses to the amount of time trawling the website, makes this an unpleasant website. I don't believe how they promote the website.

I joined IE to find a connection and after lots of messages and a few no shows and a lot of time wasters. I finally found someone. So anyone hoping to find someone on the site it does happen you just need patience.

Seems all reviews are from men
Well from a female point of view I love it!
The searching process can be tedious if you are fussy but I have had a couple of long lasting affairs with wonderful men from this site as well as made some great friends
I think it’s a case of you sometimes need to kiss a lot of frogs but the princes are there too

I set up a dummy account because I long suspected the emails received when I wasn’t subscribed weren’t real.

If I receive an email notification on one account without fail within an hour I receive a notification from the same fake profile on the other. Way to much of a coincidence to be anything other than fake.

Don’t bother
