Luis Chanaga from Kettering Health using this app for sex.Married man in a religious position. I think he sometimes used a fake name … Tony or Anthony. He lied about his wife and used this site to have sex or sexual chats if they could t meet him. @lchanaga People should use google to find out more about their hook ups. He slept with many women using this app.

Skout always blocked me, and when I try to verify, it's not working.

Thousands of fake profiles will send you messages asking you to go to a website and signup, then have free sex with them. Totally bogus. This used to be a good website with real women on it..also, i live in a major metropolitan area and "nearby' women are hundreds of miles from me..that was never the case a few years ago.

Trash. Joke. Waste of time. Scammers. Lame. Fake. Close your dating account with no valid explanation & no proof.

Taiwan region : 30% of all profiles are fake/spambots Very outdated algorithm. No incentive for its original user based focus on finding a partner. Obvious Cash grab and seemingly abandoned by its developer. Not worth the time using in 2021

I was on Skout for 3 weeks. I had 300 chats waiting to talk to me. Some guy asked me to video chat with him while he was doing something provocative. And when I I told him I wouldn't he told me he would get even with me. So I went the next day to open up Scout and it would blink and it would go off. So I notified 14 * and they said I was banned for violating their terms. I am a 65 year old woman and I am homebound and I met a lot of good friends on there. So this is why I am giving them a rating of one. This happened to me before and they said after looking into it they were sorry for my inconvenience and allowed me back on. And now this happens again. I would not recommend Scout to anyone!
