Real or Fake?

An enticing homepage and simple copy are the first things new visitors see on LocalFarmGirls.com. The site doesn’t give a lot of information, so we decided to take a closer look at the site. Interestingly enough, there isn’t any available information about the company running it. This was the first warning sign we found. The behavior of other users on the site is another indicator that something is wrong. As soon as a new user creates an account, they will start receiving numerous messages from other users. These messages are most often explicit in nature and seemingly come from extremely attractive users. This may seem like a great sign, but is, in fact, proof that the site uses fake profiles to lure new users into buying a membership. The profiles that send these messages belong to paid operators. The most obvious sign of this is the fact that you will start getting messages before uploading a photo or adding any information to your profile. If you want further proof, read the site’s Terms of Service.

Localfarmgirls offers free registration. Once you have registered, however, you will realize the site is basically unusable. You won’t be able to get in touch with any of the users writing to you if you don’t purchase a membership plan. The site doesn’t offer any innovative features but is instead focused on tricking its unsuspecting users into paying for talking to fictitious people. There is an additional downside to using this site. Namely, Localfarmgirls has an automatic subscription renewal model. To put it simply, agreeing to the Terms and conditions means you allow the site to charge you again as soon as your membership expires. This is especially insidious if you consider the shortest plan is a three day trial period. You will have to get in touch with the site’s customer service in time and cancel your membership to prevent this.
