Yes, like most other people i now have to conclude this whole setup is mostly fake and have just left it, fortunately no money was involved. On joining it quickly became apparent that very few ladies in my local area were fully paid up members, so would not have been able to reply to messages sent. There were a few duplicated profiles and one photo was at least eight years old from memory but most profiles, let's say a minimum of 75% are dead, dud or defunct ! Distance defeats AFF too because i've seen my locality given as 54 kilometers to London when 220 miles is about right. However the biggest hoot is or was the notifications of new women from "Aldershot Cornwall", "Adershot Nottinghamshire" and i've even seen "Aldershot Yorkshire" ! All of course pure fiction - no photos and very few details. It is obvious AFF have no understanding of UK geography let alone the way of life over here. When i first joined about eight years ago i sent over a one month cash payment which arrived so had long enough to know this site was not what all the gloss leads us or wants us to believe in. Please, whatever you do do't pay by any type of card as this and other accolytes will simply run your card on and on. Fortunately i don't have a credit card. If they refuse to take a good old fashioned cheque then it's a no-no from the word go.
