Explosive Netflix docuseries reveals Ashley Madison employees CATFISHED men looking to cheat on their spouses by creating FAKE profiles for women

Netflix’s explosive new docuseries has revealed that Ashley Madison employees caught men trying to cheat on their husbands by creating fake profiles for women – and charging users to read messages from bots.

The controversial dating site Ashley Madison was launched in 2001 and was aimed at married men and women who wanted to have affairs to connect with each other.

And while CEO Noel Biderman once insisted there was “no communication” between members that was “anything other than organic,” former employees have now admitted that many male users weren’t actually talking to real women on the site.

In Netflix’s new show Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies, And Scandal, scores of former employees opened up about some of the shady tactics used to lure new customers.

The former employees not only confessed to creating fake profiles, but they also said they would use AI to send tens of thousands of messages to boys.

They then charged them a fee to respond to the bots, while giving them the impression that they were talking to women interested in hooking up.

During the documentary, journalist Claire Brownell explained that after the site was hacked in 2015 and a list of all members using the platform was leaked onto the internet, it became clear that many of the women’s profiles were created by Ashley Madison employees, as they were all shared the same IP address.

‘[These] profiles all came from the same IP address: Ashley Madison’s office,” she revealed.

“Either tens of thousands of women came to the Ashley Madison office looking for men to have affairs with, or someone in the office created these fake profiles.”

An old video of CEO Noel talking about Ashley Madison in an interview then flashed on the screen, claiming that the site was about 40 percent female and 60 percent male.

“We are 100 percent committed to an organic community,” he added. “There is no communication, zero, that you will ever have about Ashley Madison with any other member that is anything but organic. And by organic we mean true and real. 100 percent legit.”

Claire explained that the site was promoted as a place where men could find women who were ‘eagerly waiting for an affair’, but in reality there weren’t enough.

“There was a big gap between what Noel would say and the things the site actually did in practice,” she added.

An exotic dancer named Michelle McGee, who previously modeled in a number of Ashley Madison campaigns, recalled that several men showed up at her work thinking they had spoken to her on Ashley Madison – but in reality she had not used the site . .

“These guys thought they were talking to me, but there’s someone on that website pretending it’s me,” she said.

Cathy, a former customer service representative for Ashley Madison, admitted in the document: “We knew there were fake profiles on the site. It was no secret to us.’

She said employees would take inactive profiles started by women and never finished and fill in the missing information. They then used those accounts to chat with hopeful guys.

“We had an idea of ​​what people were looking for and what was sexually attractive to men,” she added.

Additionally, Evan Back, who was Ashley Madison’s vice president of sales for nearly a decade, said they would use AI to send about 10,000 messages per day to men.

‘I was told this was mainly because most of the men who joined the site are reserved and shy [so they won’t message someone first],” he explained. ‘But they do respond to a message’

Joseph Cox – a reporter who examined in detail everything that emerged during the hack – called the deception “predatory.”

“Men had to pay money to read these messages and interact with these accounts,” he revealed.

“That shows predatory behavior on Ashley Madison’s part.

“Not only are you getting people to sign up and misleading them, but you’re also putting them in the privilege of being lied to.”

“The average user on Ashley Madison talked into the void…talked to fake bots while racking up hundreds of dollars in credit card bills and risking their marriage in the process. It paints a pretty sad picture,” Claire added.
