BBWZ.com - Scam or Legit?

BBWZ.com is a hookup site with a focus on meeting curvy women. They claim to be honest and not create system profiles. In our analysis we found out that they're far from trustworthy and you shouldn't create an account if you're actually looking for a date or a hookup.

BBWZ is one of those hookup sites which claim that you can meet "big beautiful women" on them. They don't say much more. The website design is quite simple. Green and white colors and a woman in the background looking at you seductively.

They claim that they have 24/7 customer support which you can call, email, or contact on instant messenger. They do not claim that they will actually help you, though. And with our experience and the reviews of former users in mind, we doubt that they're accommodating when you want to get your money back.

BBWZ.com boldly claims that they don't create fake profiles to scam you into paying money for a worthless subscription, as they have a review team for that. We strongly suspect they don't need that and have other ways of lying to you and fake interest to get your money.

Dating is a very personal part of our lives. If you're online dating, you want to be sure that you can trust your dating site of choice. You don't want bots or automated messages which deceive you. You don't want fake profiles but real people. You don't want to chat with somebody who is only interested in you for the money. You want to chat with a genuine person interested in you and actually looking for a date.

BBWZ.com is ticking all the boxes of a scammy hookup site even though they advertise that they don't use "fake profiles". Here is why.

After two minutes in the account, we have the first two activities in our inbox. "Pinnersgirl69" asks us to add new photos, and "Casseysexy123" tells us that she can't communicate with us. After a while, "Prettyyykittyyy75" asks us for pictures and wants us to contact her. We wonder if those are real users, so we do some research and dig into the terms of service of BBWZ.

In their terms of service, we find that BBWZ.com uses bot messages. They call it Icebreaker Messages and While You Were Away. They state that they might send an automated message from one user to another if they have similar interests. See here:

So you will receive "icebreaker" messages from other users. But the people who send them are most likely not aware of it. They might not even be active on the site anymore.

Such behavior is a typical scam in the online dating world. Some dating sites try to fake user activity to make their dating sites more active. They use automated messages on behalf of some profiles to create the impression that many active members want to talk with you. 

BBWZ.com claims that they create no fake profiles. See here:

They use this to make the hookup site look more trustworthy. But it's a trick. Why would a legit dating site talk about fake profiles in the first place? And this is supported by our observations.

There are suspiciously many profiles nearby. BBWZ.com is a niche dating site that - according to Google - doesn't have many visitors. From where are all those profiles coming? We suspect that it's a lot of profiles that are not active anymore or which were created on a sister dating site of BBWZ.

We notice that many women are naked or almost naked. Ok, it's a hookup site. But do you believe that so many women nearby are freely sharing their naked pictures online for free? We don't think so. You can make money with live video shows on the website. Therefore, we believe that professional cam girls run most of those lightly dressed profiles to make money.

Based on ProPrivacy.com's findings, only 1% of users read the terms and conditions. That explains why many users don't notice these dodgy practices.

The trick which BBWZ.com and all its sister sites use is that - once you create a profile - you grant them the right to use your information. They might use your profile description, profile picture, and everything else forever. That means they can keep your profile on ALL their dating sites even after you delete it. This way, they increase the number of profiles through the entire network of hookup sites. See below:

We checked BBWZ.com and the hookup site tries to trick you into subscribing to their premium monthly offer. When signing up for the 2-day membership for $0.99, the website adds a 3-day-trial for meetlocals.com to the shopping basket. This additional subscription will cost us $49.60 per month after the 3-days.

After reading the terms of service of BBWZ.com we realize that we have to cancel the subscription at least 24 hours before it renews. That leaves us only 24 hours to cancel the 2-day free trial and not 48 hours as expected.* After two days, renews at $49.95 every month until canceled.

When the website asks you to confirm your email address, it displays a small checked checkbox at the bottom. If you don't uncheck it, you will upgrade to a monthly membership for $34.95.

The next screen tries to upgrade you to a monthly membership again —you have to scroll down and click the tiny text below the big green button to continue. If you don't, BBWZ.com will charge you for a monthly membership.Overall, BBWZ.com constantly tries to trick you into upgrading your membership to the monthly plan. Such behavior is very deceiving and not trustworthy. Therefore we can't recommend BBWZ.com.

We check what other review platforms like Trustpilot, Scamadviser, and Scam-detector publish about the dating site we analyze. However, the BBWZ.com site is not very popular, and actual members left no reviews by the day we wrote this article.

This is one more reason to believe that BBWZ.com is a scam.

BBWZ.com is a scammy dating site that abuses its members' private information by sharing it with an entire network of other hookup sites. 

They create an impression of activity on their site using automated messages from inactive profiles. 

The pricy subscription model they use is a well-designed rip-off. When you add your credit card details, they aggressively try to upgrade your plan. If you fall for their trap, it will be a long battle to cancel it afterward.

Our honest recommendation. Stay away from this site. It won't get you hooked up but will just waste your time and money.
