Twoo has been in service since 2011 and has over 181 million registered members. Twoo is a casual Tinder for friends, making meeting people quick and easy to do.
Wahoo, so exciting to see who I was Twoo SmartMatched with, hope he’s hot!!!
Email Subject: Decide within the next 24 hours if you like Sergey, your SmartMatch
Sergey, 26
Lives in London
Wants to meet women aged 19 to 29
I only have a day to review Sergey, as “Your SmartMatch will disappear in 24 hours. Review your SmartMatch before your time runs out.”
I better check my Twoo SmartMatch out on the Twoo dating app sharpish then, don’t want to miss out on a real hotty from London!
Then I realize, I’m no where near London (about 150 miles away), I’m not aged 19 to 29, I’m not even a woman and probably more important than that (you never know, Sergey might swing both ways) I never joined the dating site Twoo!
In fact I’ve NEVER joined any online dating site, I’ve been very happily married for over 25 years and have no interest in meeting a potential partner (or cheating on my wife via a dating app!): for the record I’ve also not joined any site/service that’s designed to meet other people (people in person) beyond social media networks like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn etc… which are not for meeting people in person per se.
Twoo Dating Site Sends Email SPAM!
You can see in the screenshot of the Twoo SPAM email above at the bottom it states:
You received this notification because you are registered as David Law (******@gmail.com) on Twoo – Unsubscribe. Massive Media Match NV, Emile Braunplein 18, 9000 Ghent, Belgium BE0537240636. info-en@twoo.com
Hmm, I’m registered on the Twoo dating site without my permission and I’m receiving dating matches with men. Wonderful!
Twoo Login
Since I never signed up to the Twoo dating site I obviously didn’t have a Twoo login password, but I wanted to see what info the Twoo dating site held about me. You can see from the screenshot above they know my name is David Law so must have scraped my gmail account from a source which also hold my name.
I used the Twoo password reminder form to generate a new password and logged in.
Based on my Twoo dating profile (which I did NOT sign up for!) they have my Gmail email address and my first and last name. No profile image, no gender, no date of birth, no city listed.
What appears to have happened is Twoo have scraped my Gmail email address and name from one of my email contacts address book. They have signed me up for a dating site without my permission!
From Twoo Privacy page:
Importing your contacts
In some countries Twoo offers members an easy import tool to invite your mail contacts to register on Twoo. If you decide to import your contacts, you confirm that they have given you their consent to do so and you accept that an automatic e-mail invitation and reminder will be sent on your behalf to the contacts you have selected. Twoo stores the contact details of your friends only for the purpose of automatically connecting them with you after their registration.
Twoo does not sell e-mail addresses or use them to send any other communication besides invitations. Your contacts can click the unsubscribe link in the invitation mails to prevent receiving further invitations from Twoo.
The unethical Twoo dating service are signing people up to their website/service without their permission and sending a plethora of unsolicited email SPAM, this is an unethical business practice!
Hmm, what a load of BS. As if a user is going to check with all their email contacts and gain consent! For the record none of my email contacts have acquired my permission to be contacted by the Twoo dating site, so the Twoo dating site should NOT have created a dating account associated with my email address and name and definitely shouldn’t be sending me Twoo SmartMatches.
I think sending me a Twoo SmartMatch with 26 year old Sergey from London is way beyond an email invitation to join the Twoo dating site. Twoo registered my email address with their service, (if I wasn’t registered the Password Reminder wouldn’t have worked) and are sending me Twoo SmartMatches at a rate of roughly one match every 2 days!
Twoo are a bunch of unethical scumbag SPAMMERS.
It’s bad enough that Twoo scrape data this way, but to automatically sign people up to their online dating service is an unacceptable business practice.
Time to look into what sort of complaint I can make about Twoo’s business practices in the UK.
What is Twoo?
From their About page:
Twoo is the most fun way to meet new people near you.
Millions of people
With over 13 million monthly active users*, Twoo is the largest site to meet new people. Twoo is available in over 200 countries and in 38 languages.
Will I be considered an active Twoo user because I logged in to find out why they signed me up without permission! Based on their shady business practices it wouldn’t be surprising to find out most of their active users are fake dating accounts.
Real people, really active
Every day, over a million new connections are made between real people on Twoo. Whether you fancy chatting, searching, sharing photos or meeting people easily, Twoo is full of exciting people!
I wonder if the millions of new connections are people like me who have been registered without permission! If a real Twoo user has 100 email contacts and Twoo sent all 100 a Twoo invitation, that’s 100 Twoo dating profiles the users didn’t agree to, they are fake Twoo dating profiles!
Real-time, anywhere!
Never miss a beat with the Twoo iPhone, Android and Windows Phone apps. Check out our mobile site or install our browser and desktop plugins to stay up to date with all activity on your profile.
But I didn’t sign up to the Twoo dating app in the first place, I don’t want it on my phone or my Desktop PC!

Test the Waters
Twoo is an interesting site where your own popularity directly impacts how often you receive messages and catch people’s attention. To find the most success on the site, you will need to take advantage of their special offers via their credits to boost your popularity.
However, for someone who starting out on Twoo, it is best to stick with the website’s free membership to see if the site suits your way of getting to know new people. This means holding off on buying and spending credits for awhile.
Once you become more familiar with the service that Twoo offers and decide to stick it out, we recommend trying the week Premium service and cancelling if you aren’t satisfied.
