AJ Schoeman's Funny but Also Sad Review

I came to HelloPeter because I wanted to see if the site was legit, so I read the other reviews. I had quite a good laugh about another other review about this company, from one AJ Schoeman, but I also found it sad.

The guy, AJ Schoeman, in the review below, complains that he was involved in a "domestic dispute" with his wife about registering a profile on a dating site and her discovering emails from the site in his inbox. So first-off, she obviously didn't trust him, else she would not be digging around in his inbox.

Unfortunately for him and his sob story, all dating sites ask you to verify your email address, so he needs to explain to his wife how he didn't at least get the verification mail and verify his email. How come he didn't just go delete his profile if somebody else did, allegedly, create the profile and he got the verification mail? His story about thinking the mails were spam, is therefore clearly not true. If his wife just used her brain, she'd see right through this. Sad that she seems to have believed this for one second.

Mr Schoeman is also moaning about the ID number, but I don't know of any dating site or even credit card processing platform that has ever asked for my ID number, so his complaints about the ID number story, are just weak. Tinder doesn't ask for an ID number, and I don't know of any other dating sites that do. I'd never give my ID number to any dating site and have never been asked to do so.

As for the site refusing to hand over his data to a third party, good for them! I'd be really upset if a third party - the guy's wife - could just demand dating site data about a third-party member, and the site just handed it over. His wife, as he admits, paid for a membership, and then demanded the data from the site owners, and they declined, which was dead right. They can't just agree to a third-party demand. If they allowed that, nobody's data would be safe. I could demand that the site hands over any other member's data, and they'd be quite right to tell me to get lost. This is what POPI is about, isn't it?

Very funny story this, but also very sad. The review smacks of a guy being caught out and trying to "prove" his email was hacked. It wasn't. His excuses are weak. He was cheating and got caught. I don't think him and his wife are even together any more, because she must surely have woken up and asked the obvious questions above.

Even though it's funny, this is also quite sad, a guy so obviously cheating and then trying to deny it with all sorts of nonsense. It'd be even sadder if his wife fell for this.
