“Mod Control”

Luke F.
9/7/20

If the mods interacted more with the members it would give the members a feeling of protection instead of this cold shoulder approach currently being applied. Also there is no real establishing if the member is where they say they are. Too many multiple profiles by certain members trolling. Otherwise a great site with heaps of potential if managed correctly.

“They disconnect people from their money”

Tom L.
3/16/24

Scam from start to finish! I trust EasyFling4You I won't rave about it, but it's still quite honest site with more or less serious ladies, I had personal meetings with 2 gorgeous women aged 30 and 35 (so I can say that at least women from this age group are serious and real there). I don't know why I decided to join ConnectingSingles but it was a silly decision and I wasted my money. I won't venture out this way anymore. They don't connect anyone, they disconnect people from their cash. Paid scam artists, paid girls to keep us, gullible men, on a chat session for hours!

This site is an advertising machine, with postings that ignored my criteria. What to hear from scammers and people outside the country? Great! You've come to the land of no dates. If you really want to see a profile, just close the covering ad and voila! Girls from South Africa, Thailand, or the beautiful women of Ukraine who long to fill your desires (between bombs).

Tip for consumers:
OurTime, Zoosk, SilverSingles, and Match.com are better, even though all sites have problems. Edate and Bumble are also a waste of time and money. Hey, I joined all of them. You have to cast a wide net to catch a few fish. I won't renew the bad ones.

I know, the site is free, but it doesn't mean that scammers should be tolerated and accepted by the mods.
Reporting doesn't help, as I have reported dozens of scammers, providing undeniable proof, and yet the mods did absolutely nothing about it.
I don't recommend this site, whatsoever. Before you write to anyone, please check them out on Tin Eye or google search. It helps to detect them.

I've been on connecting singles a long time over 2 years. Yes thers lots of fake profiles but that's true of any site that's free to join. I've had interaction with people all over the world. It's more than a dating site thers blogs blogs games quizes etc. I never met anyone but that's nit a problem. I've had lots if offers but I don't meet anyone.

As a dating site it offers up plenty of potential dates, but that all goes to pot once you try contacting others.
Because it's free, there's no effort on the part of members to say anything worthwhile about themselves, 'nothing to see here, move along' would fit like a dream. If you're looking for a partner, go elsewhere, somewhere that's a paid site had a reason to get results, CS is not that site.
Things take an altogether different turn in the forums, this is a bear pit of opinionated site users who use the space to promote their own agendas, some posts are funny and show a sense of humor, some are topical and turn out to be talking shops of ideas, and if truth be told, entertaining at times, then there are the endless political threads, most often by American site users, I never expected to find capitol Hill on a dating site, but there ya go!, and finally, there are the flamers, people who's reason for being in site is to agitate and cause descent, racial disharmony, far right anti semite rhetoric and even hate speech, this behavior goes unchecked by any kind of moderator until way into a discussion, by which time the damage is done.
CS has the potential to be better, with the site rules being adhered to, it's been around a good few years, people come and go, for those who stay, it's a social hub, for those that leave its an experience soon forgotten in terms of having anything real to stay up for.

If you are looking for a real relationship, avoid this site. It is filled with lazy, low-effort people who send out the same generic text to as many people as possible and try to hook up with you in whatever way they can - virtually or in real life. Total waste of time for a serious person.

Worst website of it's kind. Rumor has it, Chelsea Clinton owns of piece of it... it shows. Mostly old men and women in retirement, no young members at all. What's worse, the moderators or management is also old liberals.
It's not a dating site and the format is horrible for the other categories. I tried blogging but the average mentality is brain dead. Skip the site, nothing to be offered there.

Women in there, if they're even real are ugly as sin. Site is scammer, phishing & virus ridden and also slam packed with right wing conservative looney tune trumpies. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of it.

If you report tons of scammers and then after several days you ask the admins why don't they remove all those scammers, they will block you! LOL And the scammers are still there...

So pretty obvious this site is run by scammers to get your money! You're warned!

I have been scammed by this guy supposed to be called Simon Foster and was working in Sweden as a contractor for BP in a 6 months project.

After nearly 3 months of being the most romantic man ever, he came up with money issues, asking for thousands to finish the project so he could come to my town and live here.

He said is a widow, only child and no kids, his wife died of cancer a few years ago.

He has stolen the profile of a man called Hector Duenas, from Miami and Pastor in a christian comunity.

Thank God I didn´t send him any money, I caught him and I sent all the pictures he stole from the other man and he got schocked.

LADIES BE CAREFUL AND DON´T SEND ANY MONEY TO THESE COCKROACHES

What a waste of time this site is! The profiles of women on this site are obviously written by scam artists who are attempting to phish email address and phone numbers to resell or to try to hack legitimate members' personal information. Avoid ALL profiles which start with "Am" and routinely omit "I". Avoid ALL profiles who include a first and last name as part of the profile. Avoid ALL profiles which are obviously written by someone who has no grasp of the English language. Avoid ALL profiles who give some idiotic description of "occupation" with job descriptions never heard of. Avoid responding to ALL people who routinely ask for personal email address right off the bat. Avoid ALL people who cannot or will not agree to Skype first so that personal information does not have to be exchanged. In short, be prepared to waste a LOT of time dealing with freaking idiots who live in 3rd world countries and misrepresent themselves in these profiles. 9 out of 10 are fake on the women profile side. I have been on the site long enough to accurately state that. Why I don't know!

Google search my online review of this CS site, and a few others under the exact search review titled "Why POF S U C K S" at DatingSitesReviews dot com. That says it all...

When I posted that POF & CS site review back in 2010 both sites were exactly run as I reviewed them! Hence why the POF S U C K S title, and the ConnectingScammers dot com title that followed.

CS was a much better run dating site at that time, but since then has totally fallen off the map, and into the toilet. Nothing but Fake ads & Scam ads with mostly STOLEN pix of Pornstars posted in the ads making the ads so obvious that even a 2 year old could spot them - lol. 9 out of 10 ads posted daily are all Fake and Time Waster ads, and outside of a few constant CS site Trolls posting those very same ads - the rest are from totally illiterate Black male Scammers from Nigeria or else Ghana! Russian Scammers as well, but now to a lesser degree seeings they have a war going on with Ukraine & the world, and Cyber Attacks hold most of their interests present day vs dating site hacking. Oh well...

I'm sure that if you go to that DatingSitesReview dot com site you will find many more of my other dating sites reviews there as well. All pretty much 1 or 2 Star Negative reviews sad to say. Match dot com being the Worst rip-off site past to present. Read the POF review and see why. A 0 Star review rating fits the Match site, but unfortunately you can't give them a 0, because 1 is always the lowest rating by the/any review site design. Since then I've pretty much given up reviewing online dating sites, and posting reviews of the same. Why you might ask? Well, because every online dating site present day follows the Same Mold. Nothing but tons of annoying 3rd party (money generating) advertising ads ads ads to no end, and nothing but more Fake Scam ads as well.

Need I say more?

Reported several scammers (with proof!) but they don't do anything about it. Days later they are still online.

They give them opportunity to scam and fraud. They don't care at all.

The batty old guard rules the show on connecting singles, a bunch of bitter manipulative old broads who feel threatened by those younger or more attractive than them. If you don't share their self righteous opinions they gang up on you in the blogs and forums. They don't mind dying alone and to make matters worst the toxic, ugly crowd from the late MatchDoctor have taken over the site which means it won't be long before they burn this dating site to the ground as well.

My opinion - Do not bother! Some of the forums are OK for fun and a laugh but not all. -- Men - Generally exaggerate and bullsh*t on their profiles. Women who have profiles and photos, some say they are looking for a partner but are semi-literate, use text speak style writing with poor english and grammar, are time wasting.
Generally a waste of space time and effort. I found only three whom I keep in contact. When my profile was hacked into by someone who sent a message to a female member who forwarded it to a forum which I did not send it contarvbened th site rules so I finally deleted my account.

Most of the men who contacted me were, coincidently, recently widowed and had engineering degrees and were from the USA. They all wanted to remarry and were more concerned with inner rather than outer beauty. Their grammar was poor for university grads and other things about their profiles were suspect. When I asked "is English your first language?", they disappeared. One example is a profile that describes a veterinarian but his message said he had taken a contract with a construction company, it just doesn't add up.

I thought the site wasted a lot of my time and I would not recommend it to friends. I do however like the format for the site and it seemed to have potential which is why I signed on. It's easy to find messages and respond and it doesn't have stupid virtual winks.

I think I am in contact with one seemingly real person and he does seem nice so who knows, maybe something will work out. If not I may try another approach as internet dating sites are frustrating, sifting through bad selfies of men in ugly t shirts.

I was a Connecting Singles member for about a month and I was treated horribly by staff. The problem being that the general chat forums feature a number of topics, including politics and their forums seems to be overrun by Republican/Trump supporters. However, anyone that doesn't subscribe to the racism, misogyny, weird/crazy conspiracy theories and xenophobia frequently posted by members, and/or if you dare to hold points of view that don't exactly reflect the general sentiments from the majority of their chat forum frequent posters, gets bullied, harassed, attacked and targeted. Then as if that isn't bad enough, Connecting Singles staff seems complicit in siding with those very same awful people... as they tend to gang up and complain to staff when anyone posts anything they don't agree with. I was banned a month ago and every attempt to reach out to admin and staff to find out the reason for their actions, and/or for any proof I did anything wrong, was met with TOTAL silence. Not ONE single reply. And I've reached out to them ath least six times. All that while the people (Trump supporters) who were responsible for the campaign against me were allowed to continue on the site without any repercussions. It's completely disgusting what's happening on that site. They should be disallowed from even being able to run that site as a free and open dating site at this point. It is not. Staff has clearly aligned itself with a "certain type" of member. That site should definitely be looked into. Add that to the fact that the site is infested with scammers and fake accounts and the site begins to look even less appealing, if that was at all possible. Avoid that site at all cost.
