PenPal World Reviews 

blocked with no reason, 0 support. the site looks like it's from 1995.

One star is too kind for this site. Too many perverts. No real conversations. Is like turning into a freaking dating site. Sad but True!

This site needs to be shut down. There are 55 yo men wanting to contact 5 yo girls. The owner could care less. The men send dic pics and video dic pics and when you report them they do nothing to block them. Bunch of Nigerians using stolen pictures of the rich and famous to scam you out of your money. The owner should be ashamed and more over be sued by the Feds for allowing child trafficking on this site. Sick sick sick site.

It's a scam. You donate and they block you. No reason

I got banned for no reason at all, not even 24 hours after i created my profile. I thought i was doing good by putting all my infos, description, photo, and contacting my 3 first "pals". Then i could not connect anymore the next day because my account was under "review", and 24h later blocked. There is ZERO support so you cannot reach out to anybody, you can't cancel your account because you can't connect to it, you can't have a reason why you've been banned and defend yourself to prove you're not a scammer or whatever. This is pure crap, don't recommend.

I think if I could give 0 stars, I'll do it gladly. This site is plenty of weirdos, perverts and people with real brain problems. I received some messages from a pervert and from users who ghosted after a week. If you want to improve languages through penpals, this site is not good. I never paid for the membership, so I couldn't tell you about it.

I went direct to website and followed the instructions on how to join, paid through paypal with email in instructions and didn’t hear anything for two weeks. I contacted them and was told to make sure it was a legit rep I worked with because there are multiple scammers using their company name and stealing money from people (wish this warning was on the website) turns out by following their instructions I paid “headquarters” directly and though I filled out an application was told they’re not connected and I needed to fill out the “headquarters” application. I got a PDF list of names which was odd to me I was under the impression it was being mailed but was still excited and now am again disappointed to read they only send people in your same age group? Why? I didnt see that anywhere on the website and probably wouldn’t have done it if I did. Where’s the fun in that? We can all connect and learn from one another especially being able to share things with someone from another generation. Dumb rule.

This Site is full of Scammers! Profiles which claim to be one thing when in reality they are something else entirely. Even the Country they claim to be from is often false but worst of all is that the site admin is uncontactable, so no-one can complain about anything,

I'm really disappointed with the lack of "scam-control" on this website. I' ve been on different penpal websites but this one takes the cake. The majority of the people I contacted were fake profiles who tried to scam me. It seems they don't care at all about it. I was tired of receiving messages from "girls" who contact you the same day they create their profiles or African guys who ask for your money.
My experiences on similar websites like Global Penfriends or Interpals were far more positive than Penpal World.
Shame Penpal World, shame!

Unless you pay money to do the VIP upgrade, you can't do anything. The interface looks like something from 2003. I would rather be castrated by a butter knife with no anaesthetic than visit this website again.
