I would not recommend this site for the following reasons:
1. Although it is very easy to use, to send messages to members you need to buy credits. It is actually expensive to message - about a pound per message so you end up paying a lot more than subscription sites if you get talking to several members.
2. There is virtually no turn over of members. This surely is odd. I searched for members aged 40 plus in London and the same profiles kept coming up, for two months on end.
3. No one ever wants to meet or exchange contact details and the evasions and excuses are so similar from person to person that one begins to suspect that something is amiss. I do not see why people want to burn up credits on endless chit chat, unless they are not really paying for them. This is something other negative reviews of this site have also picked up on.
4. The poor standard of English of many of the messages makes me wonder whether many of the profiles are based in the UK.
5. When there was a problem with my credit card payment, customer service never got back to me. Worse, I got a call from the fraud dept of my bank. Although there were no suspect movements from my account or on my credit card, these were disturbing things to have happened.
6. All this stinks of a scam. Avoid this site at all costs.
In summary, I would not recommend British Sex Contacts to a friend.
