Fraud and Scam Warning
The site specifically and emphatically warns members never to send money to anyone
that they meet on the site. A very small number of profiles on this site (and most similar sites)
may not be genuine and may belong to scammers that may manage to slip through our
extensive filters and pose as people who they are not. The site has no way of determining
the validity of any communication that you receive from another member or the validity of
the person behind such communication. We believe that these are few in numbers, but
the damage they can cause may be enormous. These scammers will typically pose as an
attractive woman or man. They will initiate contact with other members and will at
some point during the interaction request money from the other person. This could be a request
in the form of a loan, assistance for food, assistance for medical treatment, assistance to
cover travel expenses to visit that member or assistance to smuggle a fortune out of
a particular country. The list is endless. The bottom line is that we are warning our
members to never send any money to anyone that they meet on this site for any reason whatsoever.
Chances are 100% that the sending member will be defrauded of that money and will become
another unhappy fraud victim. It is a violation of site policy to solicit money from or to
send money to any member on the site. It is the responsibility of each member to report
to the site administrator through the "CONTACT US" link below any request made by
another member for money or any correspondence received from another member involving a financial transaction.

Monitoring
Policies and Practices
ExpatsSocial
is committed to making the use of our site a safe and pleasant experience for
our members. In order to do this, ExpatsSocial reserves the right to
periodically monitor, either at random, or selectively, member correspondences
within the site. This includes all communication sent or received through the email
system, winks, chat lounge, and instant message system.
VIP Membership Program
Members who have taken the time to create an excellent profile
on the site and to upload good photos in their profiles may become eligible for our
VIP member program. From this population of outstanding member profiles with photos,
a limited number of profiles are selected monthly at random to participate in the VIP
member program. Profile selection, program duration and scope are entirely at the
discretion of site management. The VIP member program is completely voluntary and
entails the following benefits.
Site management assists VIP members in marketing themselves
to as broad a range of potential matches as possible. This may include but is not
limited to: Including VIP member profile basics and photo in our "Potential Ideal Matches"
bulletins that are periodically sent out to other members, sending internal email messages on
behalf of the VIP member from the VIP member's site profile to members of the opposite gender
located within the VIP member's general geographic area requesting that they view VIP member profile
and to contact VIP member if interested, including VIP member photos on our landing pages used with
our Google and Yahoo search marketing campaigns, and inclusion in any other exposure or contact
method useful in marketing the VIP member profile to potential matches on the site.
Members selected as candidates for the VIP member program receive an
email informing them of the selection. Candidate members are provided with the opportunity to
decline participation. If a definitive decline response is not received within the period
proscribed on the communication, the site will activate the candidate member as a VIP member
and the member will become a beneficiary of the benefits outlined above.
A duplicate VIP profile is set up on behalf of members selected
for VIP membership. This duplicate VIP profile is an exact copy, including photos, of
the profile that the members themselves created and submitted to the site. From this
duplicate VIP profile, the member has unlimited wink sending and unlimited message sending privileges.
VIP members have access to a special email address so that a
VIP member's personal email address is not cluttered with notifications of messages from other members
Important Note: The VIP program is intended as a value-added
feature and expanded service for those members that have taken the time to create an
outstanding profile and to upload photos. Under no circumstances should any of the
exposure assistance methods used to assist VIP members in increasing their exposure to
be interpreted by the receiving members as a solicitation to remain a member on the site,
to correspond with the VIP member, to introduce the VIP member to another member, or to
upgrade to Platinum membership
The site specifically advises all members never to upgrade
to Platinum membership based solely on a single or even repeated communication from other
members. A member should only upgrade to Platinum membership if he or she believes that
the overall benefits of Platinum membership which are listed in the Member Control Panel
of each profile are worthwhile, and that the overall benefits and positive experience of
being a member on the site is worth the cost. Please never upgrade just because you received
an email, a wink or an Instant Message from another member. Upgrade only if you feel that
this site meets your overall long term needs in terms of appearance, ease of use, functionality,
and overall benefits and positive experience afforded by being a member on the site.
Cupid Match Technology
To improve user experience and help facilitate more relevant matches during a user's time on
our platform, we have incorporated our proprietary Cupid Match Technology to help
users become matched with other users based on similar criteria such as location,
age range, and gender preference. All users who join the site
will automatically be enrolled in this matching system. Our Cupid Match Technology may send
messages out to potential matches on your behalf automatically informing them of the potential match opportunity.
In addition you may also receive messages automatically informing you of potential matches.
If you wish to be removed from this program please contact the administrator and we will be happy to remove you from the program.

communication technology available on the internet. Use of the ExpatsSocial

deletion of your profile. No refunds will be issued to deleted Platinum

Unpredictability of Email reply Rate
Some members that you
send an email message to may not respond to your email message. Although this
can be quite frustrating, it could be due to a number of factors. The member
you are trying to reach may be talking to other members and is not interested
in starting something new. The member
may also elect not to respond to you because they are not interested in your
profile or they do not see a picture in your profile.
class='alsWhiteText'>To improve your email
reply success rate, it is important that you have a well written profile with a
minimum of grammatical errors. It is
important that you upload a good flattering picture of yourself. It is also
important that our email to the member be interesting, polite, informative and
pleasant to read. Failure to do the
above will almost certainly result in less than satisfactory email reply
results.
It is important for you
to note that just because a member sent you an email message, it does not
guarantee that the same member will answer your reply email message to
them. This site is extremely active and
people meet other people very quickly. Our best advice is for you to reply immediately to any email message
that you receive before the sending member loses interest and /or moves on to
the next member that interests them.

Unpredictability of Instant Message Chat
sessions

are trying to reach may not respond to your chat attempts. This could be due to
a number of factors. The member you are trying to reach may be busy chatting
with other members, they may have too many chat windows open, or may be away
from their computer. The member may also
elect not to respond to you because they are not interested in your profile or
do not see a picture of you in the Instant Messenger chat window.
To improve your chat
success rate, it is important that you have a well written profile with a
minimum of grammatical errors. It is
also important that you upload a good and flattering picture of yourself.
