My new husband and I met on Black People Meet three years ago. He had been on the site for awhile, and I had only been on for a short time. I came across his profile and emailed him. It seems that we had a lot in common, and we decided to exchange phone numbers. Eventually, we started to Facetime. In the meantime, I relocated to a new residence, and he came to assist me (we made sure we were both vaccinated, because this was during the Pandemic:-). I guess this was meant to be because we commuted for two years (we lived in different states). As for BPM, we had no problems with the site, yes, there were some unusual and unsavory profiles, but that was when I used the delete button, and the site would warn me about some inappropriate characters, as well. Neither of us had any problem with the payment nor the cancellations of services, once we found one another. All we can say is thank you BPM and we wish others the best in making their love connection!
I've run across nothing but Felons on this site pretending to want a serious relationship. After giving this one particular guy 6 months of my time thinking we were moving in the right direction of something serious only to be lied to on more than one occasion. Sign up for this site at your own risk it's horrible.

Do not join this site. The fake profile men will ask for your number and will call u one time. You will have a great conversation and won't heat from them again. As soon as they see u want to cancel the subscription you will receive a lot of FAKE profile men who will pretend that they are interested in you
I am a White man in search of a good African American Woman. Guys if you are White don't waste your time. I have been a member for a while now and I have wrote messages to women and HAVE NOT gotten a response back. I am an attractive man and it's the worst site if you're interested in African American Women.
I never signed up for this site, but I have been charged for almost 6 month. I would try contacting them after 4 months they finally answered, said account was canceled but another month and my bank statement says differently. DONT DO IT!
Avoid at all costs! BlackPeopleMeet is the dumbest way to burn your money! Good dating sites still exist though
J4Dream.com
Just as an example of a working site for those looking for relationship.
BlackPeopleMeet use all traditional scam tricks: when you sign up for monthly billing you get charged a full year, then they have auto renewal of your membership without your consent and they have all kinds of bogus unauthorized charges. And - I should have put it first - if you are able to find a real woman among endless fakes and scammers - consider it unprecedented luck! BlackPeopleMeet is a fraudulent site taking advantage of those looking for relationship.
Thought I was conversing with someone,but when I was sending her a message inquiring about her day, a pop appeared asking if I really wanted to send this inappropriate message! I didn't see anything wrong with it and I hit send. I never seen the message or the person I thought I was chatting with. Yeah something strange about that. Cancelled membership and will never renew!
One guys profile read "Mack"... He introduced himself as "Bruce--" When I questioned this; he disappeared... Another touted his financial stability (who cares? I can take care of myself... To prove it I've been doing so the last 40 years--) And yet another? Oh let's just forget about it! This is a place for folks who like to play games. I may NOT have much fortune in finding 'the one' on my own-- but after this experience; I'll stay gleefully single.
I have a payed prescription and can't access.I have been texting them about the issue and no one will do anything about They texted me back and said I could not receive a refund and my membership expires in September.I would be ok if they just straightened it out but their not doing anything.
Horrible- paid member- locked out, customer service does not help you, even after you provide the information they requested to resolve the issue. No customer service phone number either all communications are via email so you will be ignored- and nothing you can do about it. Worst experience ever. Of I could leave a review with no star I would. Try the BLK dating app. To top it off I'm a paid member! Use BLK App.
Stay away from this site. They charged my card,I tried to change my password and cannot do so. I also notice they BPM have not responded to the complaints people have. If I have to change my credit number to stop automatic renewal,I'll do that. The site is proving to be a SCAM.
When your account expires then they have fake accounts send you messages like they are interested then a few days after you reactivate your account they gone
I been dealing with this site for long time, gave decent photos & gave a decent bio on me etc! Etc! And still no results! Until I did a investigation on my own & found out their are a lot & I mean a lot of fake women profiles on blackpeoplemeet! Where & why they are always use photos of people is beyond me! Glad I didn't pay any $ or I would be so sorry! I eliminated my profile!
First of all! Congrads on creating a appealing profiles to draw people to sign up! But you don't fool everyone especially me! Over the yrs I learn to recognize fake profiles from other dating sites & blackpeoplemeet is no way different! Trying to entice me to sign up & revealing my credit card no. Info! The percentage of real females out of 100 per cent is 5 per cent maybe just maybe 10 per cent! The rest is fake or old profiles that been around for yrs! U can tell also by looking at photos real closely & tell if it's from Instagram! Facebook! Snap photo shop!
Designed to rip off. I'm glad that I stopped wasting my time pointlessly on BlackPeopleMeet. Even if you feel up your profile really well and make it stand out from the crowd you still won't from anyone because the site is overloaded with fake profiles. I just kept going round and round in circles over there with no real results. It was not what I was looking for.
BPM is 100% fraud, a total money-making scheme! The women get paid. Their job is to entice you to buy more credits and keep you on a chat session. If you have ever used a normal and reputable dating site you know how genuine women act. They don't bombard you with 10 messages per day (especially if you never reply), they don't chat with you 24/7 and they don't tell you what they want to do with your body in the first letter (regardless of the fact that you don't even have a photo in your profile).
Well, they do all of this on BlackPeopleMeet - there are all kinds of red flags for fraud. You have been warned, guys!
I am a woman looking for a certain type of man. I see a lot of white men on this site along with men living far away from where I live. This site is becoming filtrated with gay people! Its littered with unattractive men. I met one man out, and he was not looking like his profile. The cat fishing is real! I will not pay for another three months of this again. The same men over and over.
Tip for consumers:
There is no big selection of men to choose from. They want more money from you if you try to gain access to more men. This is a money pit!
This is the most fraudulent dating site! Please don't ever subscribe with your money. Their MO is to collect your money, deny you access and hoping that you do another subscription. I subscribed, setn a verification link, never got verified, and denied access to the site. I complained and they claimed I made an infraction, but they never returned my money, even after writing multiple times. They have done that to other people. I am stilll ooking for the right agency to report them to,
I'm a current (on and off) paying member of this site. I don't recommend it as a meet option to my friends as they are not as savvy with bait and trap sites such as BPM. Don't get me wrong, it's not impossible to meet a nice person on the site but the time, effort and hurdles one has to endure to meet such a person almost makes it not worth the effort, however, with some patience due diligence and plain ole common sense, you can make it work for you. So here i'll tell you some of the pits to avoid, what I don't like about the site followed by what I actually like about it.
First off, don't use a major credit card to purchase your membership, use a payment service site such as Paypal that will not share your financial information, I've never had an issue using this method. It is my belief that BPM does hold back views, probably as a push for their upgraded "Increase your Views" service that they offer. The reason I think this is, I've noticed that when I've allowed my membership to lapse my views increase 10 fold. I mean I personally get more than my fair share of views and flirts etc, but when my membership is over the emails that I get (which can't be read) are crazy high and I'd say that at lest 60% are genuine member messages. I've tested this theory several times and the results are always the same. So what does this mean for you? Well if your profile normally gets a lot of attention (emails, flirts, etc), then missing out out on the few that the site is holding back will really go un-noticed however if you're not accustom to receiving a lot of feedback from members interested in your profile, then the emails that they're hold back could be the reason you're not seeing the volume you were expecting.
I also notice that many many users (and I can only speak about the women, being that I am a man) fail to complete even half of their profile and I'm sure just as many guys do it but a well managed dating site wouldn't allow a uncompleted profile to get views at all (especially with no photos). I feel like I've wasted a lot of time opening profiles with little to no basic information given about the person I'm trying to view. The same can be said about photos, the site should monitor and approve photos posted on profiles. We (men and women) shouldn't have to view photos of houses, cars, animals, scenery, food, the list goes on and on. The site says it approves photos but if that's the case then they need to re-think what they (BPM) view as acceptable. I've also found the the 'site' will also send unsolicited flirts from your account to other members, possibly as a response boost (for them) to members who receive little attention from other members to prevent them from leaving the site (?).
One of the biggest flaws about this site are the scammers, there are far too many ways that a scammer can approach you for me to even begin to name them, just be smart and use your common sense and this might keep you somewhat safe. My personal methods that work for me to stay one step ahead of the scammers are: if they're asking for money, quickly ask for your number, want you to go to another site to talk, give numbers with area codes that don't match the city they live in, all these things to me say "scammer" and i'm quick to block. If I feel like i'm really connecting with a person, I set up for a public meet asap as scammers will not agree for a meet or will stall this as long as possible, because they just want you to send money and usually have no intention on meeting you.
Finally, what I do like about the site, I've been fortunate to meet some really wonderful women on BPM just not my 'muse' (yet), but because I'm alert, patient and prepared I can enjoy myself while at the same time avoiding all the bear traps afoot and I think everyone else can have the same experience.
I wish you the very best in your endeavor and I hope my review has been of some assistance.

I got on to discover that the computer generates messages and sends them to men I have no interest in. Then it tells me it's matched me with guys 1. Not in the age range I selected 2. Those who don't respect my profile 3. Some who are very rude 4. White guys on the site
There continues to be a fraudulent pop up that charges you 5.99 because it won't go away while you're trying to get rid of it. They don't have a good phone number for you to get your money back! It's a rip off
Tip for consumers:
I don’t know the refund policy because there’s no human to talk to.
If I could add a zero or lesser star rating I would. Nothing but garbage on this site.
Questions aren't designed to weed people out. Also the algorithms never match my search criteria. This site hasn't improved since I first logged on 20 years ago. Just got back on this year and regreted it after the first day. Unattractive, uneducated, unemployed men. Nobody smiles in their profiles. Photos of groups of people or cars or dogs or motorcycles instead of the human who is messaging me. Raise your standards BPM instead of nickel and diming us to death!
I signed up and paid for 3 mo subscription but can no longer sign in! I tried downloading app multiple times but still cannot gain access. No one to contact or complain to yet I bet they will renew. Something must be done about this ripoff!
Don't waste your time or money. It's a bunch of womanizers and misfit, not to mention men that have medical conditions. I met a guy at Baskin Robbins one evening only to discover he had Touretts when we were standing in line. It was very embarrassing. Narcissist, dementia, stick men, you name it. They should be ashamed. Also, they charged my credit card after I choose to cancel my membership, and got mad when I disputed the charge, and proved it, so charges were removed from my card. That's stealing!
Many of the negative reviews of BlackPeopleMeet aren't about the website at all. Many are the same complaints you will see on ANY dating site: fake profiles, insincere people, poor demographic choices, etc. MATCH dot com is one of the most popular dating sites yet when I was there, they sent matches that were several states away even though I SPECIFICALLY INDICATED that I wanted to stay within a 20-mile radius. Or, people will complain because they didn't find someone compatible and again, that can happen on any site. Billing issues are a different situation. I've only recently rejoined after many years away from the site so I can't speak to shady billing practices, but so far I've had no problems. I met someone there several years ago that I dated for quite awhile. This time around, I've communicated with a few potential matches but remains to be seen if it will work out in the end. My point is: approach ALL dating sites with an open mind, common sense, and most of all, be PATIENT.
Created a profile and bought a paid membership. Within a few hours, my inbox was packed with a bunch of pointless flirts, with almost every man using the same flirt. Some even had the audacity to use the flirt that said "Great profile" when clearly they never read my profile. I specifically said, 'if you are serious don't send a flirt, as it is lazy. Send me a message in your own words.'
After 2 days, I cancelled the membership to make sure the charge did not recur. This was so very disappointing. All the men do is send those pre-made one line flirts and no one reads your profile. The quality of men is extremely low, and is questionable if any of them can actually string together a sentence comprising of their own words. The oldest looking men always listed their age as 49 or 50, when clearly they had not seen those ages for over 20 or 30 years.
As a novice to online dating, I wasted my money on the worst online dating site in the universe. There is no way any site can be as bad as this one, but after my experience here, I won't be trying any other.
Ladies, please do not waste your money on Black People Meet. Choose another site.
While the subscription is very affordable, the quality of men on this site is very suspect. I have exchanged numbers with a few men and all they want are more pics, text all day long, or talk on the phone. And they send d pics, so ew... I have to start all over again. They expect you to chase them? And what about dating, do men date anymore? I dont know if it's my expectations, women's lack of standards, too many women to choose, so they fade or ghost quickly, they dont want committed relationships.
