A basic starter package of 50 credits costs US$59.99. Sending a message costs five credits and replies are free. But if the message is marked ?priority,? the site deducts an additional five credits. And many new users miss the fact that their messages are automatically marked priority by default, unless users make a point of changing their settings to turn the default option off.

But many also complained they were unaware of another default setting, one that automatically charged their credit cards for a new package of credits, once credits ran out ? at a cost of US$79.99. In a few minutes, with just a few messages, the charges could quickly mount to US$140. With a few more messages, some 20- to 50-credit ?virtual gifts? to the ladies on the other end and some time spent in a chat session (30 credits for 30 minutes), the client could find himself having burned through more than $500. There was also a US$19.99 activation fee for the mobile app.

while leaked internal documents from the company appear to suggest that it was sometimes computer algorithms that were automatically generating the flirtatious responses to eager men. All but one of the unnamed former employees interviewed say that this technique was widely known among Ashley Madison staff. One alleged that the photos for the profiles were sometimes taken from the free-licensing area of the photo-hosting service Flickr. Another alleged that deactivated accounts were recommended as a photo resource.

Gee, I'm shocked at their sleazy business practices.
