SCAM COMPANY!! STAY AWAY! My free trial expired for InterNations and they attempted to charge my card without any notification whatsoever. They forcefully made me an aboiSHIT member for a whole year which I haven't even used and it's impossible to downgrade, cancel or even delete my account I hope this so-called Internations criminal organisation comes crashing down soon.

I got scammed as well to try the free period Cancelled it after one week and they confirmed the cancellation but still charged my credit card the full amount. I don’t like people who play such games. I will not stop here. Time for a class suit. Any others with such cases especially in uae respond to my post and we shall get together to do something about them.

Never ever sign up for the free trial and forget to cancel. They are not making any attempt to undestand their clients.

It is a community for full of weirdos. For example, there is a German lady who is in her 70s, but she is a Council and hosts a virtual event called "Travel Talk". She was once bragging that she always gets messages from guys who are in their 30s to meet with her. She is a close ally of those who are at more senior level of the company. She also seems to informally report to the Management about other Councils and members, who challenge the unethical conduct of business of InterNations.

Be aware that the "Consumer's right to cancellation" within 14 days hasn't been made for you. Not with these guys. I signed up for the so called Albatross membership and went to an event, which I didn't like much and therefore decided to cancel. Not possible to get the yearly fee back since I made use of "premium features", which was nothing but visiting their event. Scandalous!

I use to like it alot and used it for many years. However, recently the App had lots of issues!! and then they froze my account because of a payment they claim it didnt go through and when I wanted to repay it, their App had issues so many that I wasnt able to even see how much I should pay nor the payment button for monthssss. I contacted them several times through emails and they were just very rude for no reason!! And till this day they never solved my issue. Now their App is working however they want me to pay for almost the whole past year which I didnt even have access to because of their technical issues and rude staff.

I subscribed to their Albatross Membership, but they automatically place an auto-renewal payment and there is no way to opt out. A few months later I tried to cancel by sending them a message but they don't reply. No matter what they claim you can't cancel the membership once you signed up, They are an unethical company scamming people, stay away!

It is a site for losers who are in their late 60s and 70s as well as for Middle Easterners (Iranians, Arabs, Turks) who are looking for their dates in an extremely pity but toxic way. The company is run by a few German guys who have no talents, no skills, and no intelligence. Those few German owners have a mafia type of close knit connections with a few German members and Councils who report to them and then get a free Albatross membership in return. For instance, there is an old German lady who lives in Brussels, Belgium but she is a Council. In addition to being a Council, she spies for InterNations and reports to them. She is extremely evil and toxic. Overall, it is a very petty and toxic site, which clearly reveals the typical German narrow-minded culture that lacks innovation and cannot go beyond their comfort zone and confined bubble.

Stay away from predators (InterNations Barcelona) I've just deleted my account. The Barcelona InterNations community is dead. Poorly organized events, sometimes too expensive for the value they offer. Besides, it's full of older men who are trying to flirt with younger women. My wife suffered from this every time she went to an event alone. Stay away!

InterNations posts fake positive comments on Trustpilot to deceive their mafia type of operation. The company witch-hunts members who criticize their unethical practice of conducting business. I witnessed an over 70-year old senior German lady, who lives in Brussels, and who witch hunts for InterNations. She gets a free Albatros membership in return to witch hunting for InterNations. Extremely unethical company.....Stay clear!!!

InterNations' online events serve as a platform for miserable people. It is not an online platform for professional networks. Their in-person events could be much better but it all depends on a specific geographic location or the personality of a specific Council or Ambassador. The Councils and Ambassadors are just random volunteers. By being a Council they benefit free membership by voluntarily hosting events both virtually or in-person. Their online events are full of Middle Easterners, especially Turkish, Iranian, and various Arabic sub-groups. While the Middle Eastern single or widowed men look for their dates or hook-ups from non-Middle Eastern countries, the Middle Eastern women look for blonde western European men (German, English, Spanish etc) to date. So, it turns out to be an extremely miserable platform. Before the local groups used to host online events but the company stopped local groups to host virtual events. Instead, the company started a number of ludicrous Global Groups that host virtual events. And, it has turned out to be toxic competition about what nationality is the best or what civilization is the most scientific or what civilization is the most advanced etc (e.g., is it Persian civilization or Western civilization the most scientific or is it Jewish or Russians or Indians who are the most scientifically apt people etc). Because of such a toxic competition some Councils and members maliciously watch one another whom they view as a threat to their popularity or plot to harm one another when they see someone as a threat. Even the company has their own spies who maliciously watch a specific member or a specific Council if they see him or her as a threat to InterNations' unethical conduct of business. This kind of malicious practice of conducting business will certainly pay off its consequences to the company itself. There is no longevity for this kind of unethical business.

InterNations is a mafia business that exclusively relies on recruiting volunteers under the grand title of "Councils" "Ambassadors" to host events both virtually and in-person. As its virtual events are exclusively relied upon volunteers who are called as Councils and Ambassadors, some Councils host virtual events that explicitly indoctrinate a conspiracy theory. Their virtual events are poorly attended with 5-10% of attendance rate. Most of those who attend the virtual events are lonely female seniors, Middle Eastern widowed men in their 50s or 60s who are looking for their hook-ups, some old male creeps from the western countries, and some people who simply have no social skills and no social life except for attending InterNations' virtual events. There is an increased risk for those type of InterNations members who are lonely or who have mental health issues or women from developing countries to be lured into certain radicalized ideologies or certain radicalized groups such as ISIS. I have seen a female Council, for example, hosted a virtual event to hold a discussion about pornos. Soon after the discussion event, she posted another virtual event, which preaches a conspiracy theory about Iran. There is a high risk that much of such indoctrination takes places through InterNations' virtual events hosted by InterNation's random Councils and Ambassadors. InterNations recruits its Councils and Ambassadors from its regular members, which means literally anyone can become a Council and Ambassador to host virtual events. Once the regular InterNations members become a Council and Ambassador, they are exempt from the InterNations' membership fee. The company micromanages their Councils and Ambassadors, and shields their Councils from any criticisms despite their shady and risky way of organizing virtual events. This kind of shady practice of InterNations' conduct of business is even extremely risky to InterNations' own business prospects. In addition, there are many Middle Eastern widowed men (from Jordan, UAE, Algeria, and Morocco) who are in their 50s and 60s, virtually stalking women from developing countries, in particular women from East Asian or Southeast Asian countries. There are some popular members and popular Councils who virtually harass their targets whom they harbour resentment against because Councils can also attend virtual events. Mostly those members and Councils from Iran, India and Israel harass their targets in an extremely toxic and vicious way. But they're simply shielded by the company, as some of them are Councils who devote their time to host events. By accepting anyone as a member and creating many meaningless Global Groups that host virtual events, InterNations is no longer a professional network but it is just a platform for vulgar, obnoxious, and pejorative group of people who live in the bubble of InterNations. Despite the fact they have been a member of InterNations for many years, they're still single, and they're still friendless, and have no a meaningful social life outside of the bubble of InterNations. The company has no future.

The organisation takes money from my account without authorisation, and despite my having messaged in February last year explaining to them that I wanted to discontinue the membership, and receiving reassurance from their staff member Jasmine, via the InterNations Community Support Team, that they would stop charging me. I was charged over EUR100.00 last year, and again this year, when neither time did I want to be a member and I had informed them of this.

Impossible to end the account. Password is said to be insecure, dömande a new one. Nothing happens. Have received unsolicited mail, keep on coming despite blocking and reporting. Avoid.

I fullly agree with the predatory and unethical membership practices of the other reviewers. I never authorized any auto-renewal, but after I stopped paying for their useless membership (which I hadn't used anyway), and even though it's charged _in advance_, I started receiving collection letters and legal harrassments. And the best part is - you cannot cancel your subscription NOR delete your account because until you pay, there are NO such options anywhere, as the account is "disabled". Interestingly enough, they also stop providing any services, yet want to charge you for them. Unethical, and possibly illegal. Super willing to test the legality of their practice in court. Long story short - stay away from them.

Poor in every respect. Avoid at all costs. If I could give 0 stars I would. I cancelled trial period on the last day of the free trial but was still charged for the year, and a refund was refused. Aside from the shady, underhand and dubious manner of doing business, the site itself is a waste of time. They offer no meaningful opportunities to make connections at all and the vast majority of events they publicise are poorly attended. Avoid at all costs - you will find vastly superior offerings from the (free to join) groups on Facebook and other social media sites.

Don't waste your time with this company. It is a scam. They advertise that there are 2 membership levels, Basic and Albatross. This is a lie. There is no basic membership level. When you create an account it forces you to sign up for Albatross and if you don't you get nothing. You can't even read an article or go in and update your profile or delete your account or anything. I advice to not utilize this scam site as it is not legit. I had to message customer support just to get them to delete my account and it's worthless to have an account that ONLY allows you to sign up for Albatross membership.

They charge you for a yearly account renewal without any previous notice, when you contact them to clarify the situation or revert the charge, they basically tell you should have read the "fine print"... My experience with their events was quite disappointing, definitely not worth the extra cost. To make things worse, Internations bombard you daily with several emails and have NO easy unsubscribe option/button. They have more than 30 email lists which you have to individually select and unregister INDIVIDUALLY from!!! Internations is an unethical and scammy company.

Extremely rude and incompetent event hosts. Was just loudly scolded in front of everybody and kicked out because of a simple misunderstanding where two events were scheduled the same night and I was at the wrong one. Insufferable rudeness.
