“SPAM ... beware of this site”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 12/07/2015

This site has plenty of reviews available on the internet to read. Most of which will let you know that it's a spam driven site hosted in the UK with links to Africa. The site is not safe and cannot be trusted. It flouts privacy laws and spam laws which are considered illegal in some countries. Stay well clear of this site.

Spam
It just puped up in my email. I sent them to not send me anything so they stop for a week and send stuff again.

I gues their stratigy is to focus on lonely people concern to actually maximize profits and sell it to marketers to sell their products to consumers. And if you see they pot women's picture in real life which is not them so that's my proof of spam.

If they send you a couple of emails send a report to the government.

“I was told by my husband that I had an account on...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by CerWeary on 08/04/2014

I was told by my husband that I had an account on here. Be weary, this website took very old information and a photo and posted it as current information saying that I updated my profile today and that I have twelve friends. I am not sure who is using this account but I pray they are not being bamboozled into thinking that is really me. I have reported this website to the FBI and reported it for identity theft. Be careful people. Also this website has twelve different websites, they are so honest they couldn't just have one name.

“I want to know where they are located!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 22/12/2013

If I could ever find out where they are headquartered, I have he money and the time to find them wherever they are and deal with them personally and forcefully. They behave in an unethical, unacceptable and, possibly, illegal manner. Stay away from them!

Where are they located? Why, in cyberspace, of course! Doesn't that constitute a sufficient answer in this day and age?

Seriously, though, I read on one webpage containing a warning against them that they're nominally located in the U.K., but may actually be in Poland.

“Stole my photos & name, created fake profile”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 07/10/2013

Having googled my name, I came across "my" profile on Wayn.com. I have never registered my email address or name with them, yet there's a profile with photos stolen from my very old and embarrassing Myspace profile. I've emailed them to ask them to take it down but having googled the problem and seen that they've done it it other people, I'm not feeling confident that they'll get back to me. Just awful.

“Way to go to find a prostitute!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by SPEAKOUTPIERRE on 24/03/2013

I should not write a review as I quickly stopped to believe that this site was about people loving traveling as I. I finally found a way to unsubscribe it after many attempts. Anyway before doing it, I checked on "People" and just got females ...... many are looking prostitutes (I am a male). What? A travel site and I need to make an extra effort to be in touch with others males.

It's just a pure spam site. Once they have your details you'll be plagued with junk email from them forever. AVOID.

“Scam, Spam, Bogus”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Catywampus on 23/01/2013

My account has been suspended on WAYN and they refuse to answer any of my complaints on support @WAYN.com in spite of I have made many request, which they say will be answered in 24 hours. There is no way to contact anyone on this totally bogus site, nobody ever answers your concerns or anything else. I have been a VIP on here for years and they still have never reponded to any of my complaints about these repeat scammers. They have so many repeat scammers from Ghana on here who have well over 100 profiles from London, Wichita, USAR Center, just to mention a few places they say they are from. I have met only 2 legitimate people on here after 3 years on this site. They send out spam messages to everyone in your mailing list and it is impossible to contact them in any way. Just Google them and try to find out ANY contact info and you will discover exactly what I have, that they are unreachable. If you have any comments or suggestions, respond to [email protected]

I would not sign up for the site because I don't like getting SPAM. I wasn't signed up for them and still got a message from someone I don't know.

“Used to be great but now it's lame and useless”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 07/07/2012

I joined Wayn around late 2008. Seemed to be the zenith of the website's popularity. There was lot of interaction and it was bustling with activity. Most members were genuinely passionate about traveling and offering their help and tips if you were coming to their area or destination where they had traveled before. Wayn started to go clearly downhill during late 2009 and 2010. The UI got filled with ads, the website got buggy, they removed the section where you could write review about hotels, restaurants etc. People started to leave, they removed some features that had helped to increase user interaction. More and more messages started to come from perverts and romance scammers. Then more and more previously free features became VIP aka paid only. Early 2011 they added some ok features that made the site bit better like you could make the site to automatically ask travel tips from people for destinations where you were planning to travel...well in the end they removed that feature. Well nowadays the owners have pretty much killed the website with their greed. Nowadays almost all functions are VIP only. Now you can't even see who visited your profile, you can't read all the messages or see who sent them in the first place unless you cough up money for Wayn and get the VIP memberships. It doesn't cost much but paying it isn't worth of semi-dead, greed filled den the website is nowadays. Probably one of the worst social networks when it comes to greed and money grubbing...

I agree completely. The true "Wayn" is no more. We need a real travel site - like Wayn used to be. How is it possible to completely destroy something that was a shining star in the social network jungle ?

Feels like the owners don't care about their site/community anymore. They seemingly just want to milk as much money out of members as possible before closing the website.

Doesn't take a business degree from Harvard to figure out that members wont stay for long if you make even sending messages to other members to require paid membership. If you want to generate long-term profit you must offer quality service to the members instead of making it worse quality and the same time expecting people to pay more.

Yeah it's sad no site has really risen up to fill the place Wayn left when it went downhill. Lonely Planet has nice forum but not much of community features. Tripadvisor has way too many ads and the interface is kinda messy. Virtualtourist would need serious update to make the site more 21st century. Travbuddy is seemingly losing members and activity for various reasons. Then there's some smaller travel sites but they're in serious need of more members and activity.

“Simply very very very bad”

★☆☆☆☆

written by eric_tao on 30/06/2012

To summarize: - Everything cost money. Can't even search for people or places without subscription - The technology of the site is a mess - overloaded with commercials, popup-windows and terrible user experience - Very difficult to navigate on the site. - Impossible to distinguish from objective travel advice and paid commercials It seems that Wayn - which started out as a pretty good idea(I was member there since 2007) now is heading for disaster. How they can miss their targets so completely is almost impossible to imagine. I will advice everyone to stay clear of this site. We do need a social travel site though, so feel free to create something better.

“Awful service”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 12/06/2012

Wayn, should not be a site as they suck with their customer service. When I complained about a person on wayn, who was abusive towards me, they just decided to penalize me and not take any action for it and threaten to close my account. But I closed my account as I realized that wayn was not taking action for my complaint against this person and is blaming me instead.

“I have never signed up on wayn.com, but they are...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by MaryMoo on 29/03/2012

I have never signed up on wayn.com. In January, I noticed two charges on my credit card statement - 1 for $29.97 and 1 for $19.97 to wayn.com. I had never even heard of it until that day. I assumed that someone had stolen my card number, so I cancelled it and disputed the charges which were credited to my account. Now wayn.com is disputing the credit and my account has been charged again! I repeat, I have NEVER signed up on this website and I don't understand why they are charging me. Now I have to go through a complicated appeals process to get my account credited again. Any reputable web site would have accepted the dispute since I never signed up for it.

“Be aware”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 16/01/2012

All I have done to find myself on WAYN I've mapped my FB friends.When I logged in I thought it was about travelling. But then I got a lot of friend's request from strangers. Some of them were usual people but some were real scammers. I've checked them and I'm sure now. I reported to WAYN team about them but no results. I put the information on special antiscammer sites as well. So it's unsafe to make friends there. Some scammers are stupid just asking money and others are fake lovers with fake faces and stories. They steal photos of people maybe from FB and put it as their own or just use model's pictures. So don't believe them if you don't want to be robbed or taken in! Girls don't be so naive! Moreover I found out a lot of naked erotic photos of young girls and women there with men comments. It's not about travelling it's about dating. Only 3 questions about travelling during my 6 month story with WAYN.

“Review of WAYN”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 14/01/2012

Not only would I not reccommend WAYN to anyone, but I beleive they should be investigated by the police. When I first joined was inundated with begging letters from scammers. There are many under aged girls on it who admit being under age(i'm only 15 lol) inthe find friends feature. i never felt secure on the site. Add to that the constant badgering of the WAYN team for money to be come a VIP. eventually they block your mails/profile views and meet requests if they cannot extort money out of you. one experience but the lid on it. I went to view the profile of an attractive woman, and found out it was the profile of a 55 year old Colombian pimp. So is being used by criminals as well so beware. I found yesterday when I tryed to delete my profile that I could not erase my own photos. I have written to their so called support team to have my account erased. If I get no satisfation in the next two days will consider legal action against them. I liked nothing about it .

“Worst Social Website”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Pinesh on 02/07/2011

I am continuously being harrassed with emails from WAYN about friends whom I have no clue. They more seem to be prostitutes from across the globe! I have deleted my account 3 times - but the account really has never got deleted. The website is nothing short of harassment!

“Shameful Pressure Tactics - PAIN IN THE ASS!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 17/06/2011

I first received an auto invite from a friend who'd dobbed his email list in to WAYN ... ignored it only to get another email saying i now had a 'message' awaiting me from someone i didn't recognize.... but I had to fill out my profile to get access to the site! Once I filled in the bare minimum to see the message found it was from WAYN itself "welcoming" me... I was really ANGRY. Ignored it again only to get another email from WAYN saying "you said you would upload your photo 'later' we were wondering when 'later' would be!" HOW bloody RUDE!!!!! I am being HARASSED by this site and have now removed myself. I am disgusted that people constantly allow social networking sites to access their email accounts - enabling the site to target their friends for memberships. Its made worse when the site itself uses pressure tactics to get you to fill out a profile! Its a terrible site!
