Investigation Brief
Manhunt (manhunt.net) is a gay dating and hookup platform that has operated since 1998, with a valid encrypted connection and no browser threat feed threat warning. However, independent user reviews report that subscriptions are difficult to cancel and that billing continues after cancellation attempts, and that scam profiles and bots are common with little effective moderation. These operator-level and customer-experience issues place the site in the Moderate Risk band.
Subscription cancellation and billing complaints
A user review states that you cannot cancel your Manhunt subscription whenever you want, and that no matter what you do they will still find a way to bill you for the next quarter. This describes a recurring billing problem where cancellation attempts do not stop charges.
Another review source summarizes common complaints as poor functionality, lack of effective support, and deceptive practices. Together these reports point to a subscription model that is difficult to exit and a support process that does not resolve billing disputes.
Scam profiles and moderation gaps
A user review reports that scammers offering massages post on Manhunt and that the platform does little to stop them. This indicates that fraudulent profiles can operate on the site with limited enforcement.
Technical safety versus operator and customer risk
The domain is 10329 days old, the saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection, and the browser threat feed returned no threat warning. These technical checks show no active malware or phishing infrastructure at the time of scanning.
The page builds its content with scripts, so its own contact details were not visible to the page reader and were not reviewed. This limits what can be confirmed about the operator's disclosed identity from the landing page alone.
Despite clean technical checks, the operator and customer risk is elevated by the subscription billing complaints and the reported presence of scam profiles. Clean scanners do not resolve these commercial and moderation issues.
Why the score is 58
2 independent sources carry complaints or warnings about this site, including: "You can't cancel your ManHunt subscription any time you want. No matter what you do they will still find a way to bill you for the next quarter.". Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.
