I, too, got scammed for 6 month membership at $113.00 USD
After seeing a Facebook Ad for Planet Sappho, a supposed *** dating site for singles, I placed my ad-the basics. They advertise this site as "free", however, the catch is this; in order to reply to other women's emails and to answer others' personal ads, you must have a paid subscription. Seeing that it was $39.95 monthly, at first I hesitated, as I didn't see anything special about Planet Sappho; unlike Compatible Partners[ E-Harmony's LGBT site] and Match.com which both charge less monthly! So I paid for a six-month membership which was $113. Immediately,a pop-up comes on, offering you a "Gold" membership for an extra $9.95 and something else for $14.95 I think; don't exactly remember as the first thought was " I just paid y'all $113!" Then I filled out my full profile; something which took me over an hour and a half to do and came out awesome. A few days later, I decided to change some things and did. Mind you, their policy prohibits any " offensive" words, so I used " expletive" as many newspapers would and a song line. Needless to say, for some reason, my entire profile had been deleted without warning. I retyped the whole thing, trying to remember what I originally had written; describing myself as I am,a non-traditional college student who sees life from the glass half-empty worldview. Again, half the introduction was deleated. I contacted their customer service and attempted to post a comment on Facebook when I came across " Planet Sappho is a fraud". Looks like I'm out $113, enough to pay the State Univ. of NY's application fee of $50 more than twice!
