Locanto Reviews 

Spam ads
Phishing ads
Timewasting one or two word replies to ads posted (from locanto themselves I think)

My favourite is when they recycle the few genuine adverts they get. This occurs especially in the personals section. Two separate adverts that keep renewing going straight from 1 month ago to 1 week ago. I find it strange as one of the advertisers has moved to a different country and no longer works and the other advertiser has been deceased for two years. Phone numbers disconnected, emails shut down, bank accounts closed. There is no way this is a computer error or mistake they are using old adverts as fillers.

After trawling through almost 200 adverts I did not find one genuine advert.

I dont know why i get so many views but no responds - please clarify this for me

To preface this, Locanto has categories for ads in different business types. I run a business, and decided to put some ads on Locanto. Unfortunately, it seems that Locanto is mainly used by escorts and weird people that use escorts. So I keep getting contacted by weirdos with sexual messages, even though my business has nothing to do with that. Luckily there is a blocking feature, but still. I would never pay for an ad on here as it won't attract the right kind of paying clients to my business. It will only attract weird escorts and crazy people that basically annoy real advertisers on the site. Free ad maybe, paid ad no.

When I ran my first couple of classified ads on Locanto.com about three years ago, my ads received a great deal of exposure. I paid for upgrades to my ads to give them more exposure and visibility - resulting in an average ad view rate of 400+ views over a period of three months. NO PROBLEMS! However, when I ran another ad about three years later - with the exact same paid ad upgrades for increased visibility - and promoting the exact same product as I did about three years earlier, my ad literally went from 400+ views over a three month period - to NO VIEWS WHATSOEVER (aside from my OWN views)! Now the only logical explanation that I can think of is that at some point over the last three years, this company stopped paying for LEGITIMATE HUMAN traffic to their website and instead - started bringing FAKE BOT traffic to their website! Unfortunately, fake bot traffic is being used by some companies. I smell a RAT! And what makes this rat smell so bad is the fact that - after bringing this matter to their attention - the company offered NO POSSIBLE EXPLANATION WHATSOEVER! I am yet to receive a response from them regarding the matter! That tells me that something is going on with the Locanto.com classified ad system - and they KNOW it - but are TOO ASHAMED TO ADMIT it! I have already filed a complaint/refund request against Locanto.com with my credit card company. They are in the process of investigating the matter, and will make a decision in the matter soon.

If I were YOU, I would search for a DIFFERENT website to run PAID classified ads on. I will NEVER run another ad on Locanto.com for as long as I live!

It’s a fraud company so I request all to no one can stuck in scam

Sex sells. Most guys R just lookin 4 EASY sex
Like with the old craigslist personals - nsa GETS viewers, bums on seats - guys WILL look ANYWAY
Everythin as expected - What female can NOT get nsa, Y do they HAVE 2 advertise, unless they were tryin 2 sell U somethin - It is the gals WHO advertise that U SHOULD avoid - do it the old fashioned way, go OUTSIDE in the real WORLD - A bottle of cider IS usually ALL U NEED 2 get nsa

Services Locanto please

So ive currently got an ad on locanto. Im getting replies, when i start conversations about the ad. Nothing ??? Im wondering if its locanto themselves keeping me hanging on ? Im beginning to believe its all a con ?

I quite like Locanto & have had more sex from that site than most other sites like this or sites such as badoo or Tinder & with Locanto I know what she wants by her ad description & she knows what I want by my ad description so when I've met woman on this site there's no silly games or chit chat,its straight down to business.
But Tinder & Badoo in my experience,woman want you to take them out,pay for their dinner & drinks and at the end of the night there is a slight chance of getting laid & you've drained ur wallet & not ur balls !
With Locanto you know your'e getting
laid and that's all there is to it.
Yes I've had a crap load of scam & spam messages,but I know how to spot most of them .
All you need to do is look on their profile,check if its a new profile with a strange name for someone in your area or if they have their full name as
their username that's a pretty good sign its a fake account or u cam go on Facebook & if you cant find that person on FB in your'e area then that's usually a good sign your'e being played.
And if they messave you ,you should know if it's a scam by how they talk to you !
Also look at their ratings if they have any and also look at their ads.
Most scammers will put ads up all through out the state or even country
& if they have ads like that then there's a definite scam profile right there.
Scammers and spammers are a slight headache sometimes but all u gotta do is invest 10 mins to check them out thoroughly and you can avoid the headaches and talk only to
the real people.
No I am not getting paid by Locanto to with this review lol
Maybe those who can't get anything from this site just aren't saying tje right things to people who do have legitimate ads that they've messaged !

This is a fraud website. Do not visit the site

Ans personal ads with a few profiles eventually thought I had connection she claimed we were practically neighbours. But I knew the people living there .she continued with lies and demanded money cards I refused and said I only use cash . Before that she said I needed to fill out a security card to prove I was real she asked me for my email to send me info it looked very real I started to fill in but too much private details and I quit she threatened me by saying I'd regret it . One of the other profiles kept in contact with me all was fine no mention of cards she asked me to come to hers so I asked where . She told me I said head that way and see . All of a sudden text saying time to pay my place of work my Facebook email and full and full name appeared make me an offer and it will all go away . Finally she said 900 euro pay now or else dozens of threats later 500 now or I'll ruin your life . I told her I couldn't pay my phone rang it was a woman with Dublin accent real strong f ...ING down the phone pay up or else I will do it . I told her I have no money till payday . She messaged me back OK. I had and some point said I'd go to gards but she just said do it and see . Guys it was an 089 number and she has several fake profiles out there . If they won't talk on phone they are 90 percent fake . So run

I went onto the personals section of this website and soon realised there are scammers here. Many women who have a webcam business will redirect you to their KIK or ask you for your email address which they will use to send links to their profiles. Twice I experienced this. I suggest to read users reviews for each advertiser before you respond. There are also weirdos who want genitals photos pretending to be a woman. I suggest not to give your email address until you are sure the person is genuine in Personals section. There are so many fake profiles on this site and are never taken down.
Another woman wanted a game card from me for their kids, I had foolishly given my number and began messaging her on WhatsApp.

The website is poorly designed and cumbersome with daily glitches in messaging or billing, with most of your time spent in correspondence with problem solvers or staff of the website - it really is a godawful experience to try and do anything related to business or buying or selling. Locanto should be a case study in how not to build an online market place . Avoid!

They say you matched with a model type or whatever. They will never ever write your back. If they do it's part of their hustle. Seriously don't fall this

There's a lot of scammers trying to rip you off . If they say its free they want gasoline money or the game card for games on line for their kid.

This website is one BIG SCAM & should be close down
