Seems to be a scam and this is how it works.
When first signed up with "classic" (free) membership you get lots of enticing emails saying that people have looked at your profile, then liked it, then sent a message - which you can't read until payment has been made. Classic members can't communicate with other classic members, only with "VIP", ie: paying members, and guess what, all your messages will be from classic members, none from VIPs to whom you can reply. Huh? Why are all these classic members sending messages to other classic members when there is no hope of getting a response? This seems a really stupid thing to do. Well it turns out these messages are automated and sent when someone just looks at your profile, it doesn't really mean they are interested at all (or even that they are a real person).
Next you might think about becoming VIP to enable you to read all these potentially exciting messages you have received - but payment is recurring with all the usual risks attendant on that. You can only stop the payments if the service provider agrees, your card company won't lift a finger, and in the Ts&Cs section 4 makes it really hard to stop the payments.
Next thing you might do is send some polite messages to VIP members, very nicely worded, requesting a reply even if they aren't interested. Classic members can receive messages from VIPs and reply to them, so there should be an open channel of communication. You'll be waiting a long time for a response to any of those messages.
So maybe it's time to look at the forums and do some online research which could confirm your growing suspicion that the site is a scam, populated by fake profiles and run by bots sending false messages. No thanks.
