The website's functionality is compromised. I get email notifications with links to the site, but then the site is down and/or the notifications are inaccurate. The customer care is deplorable. The live chat agents (and I'm not sure if I should even use the plural here) take forever to get to you, don't seem to understand plain English, provide obviously canned responses and are unhelpful. Email customer care provided me with an equally canned, equally non-responsive request for help. There is no live customer care. Since I joined the site, it does not seem to me that it has worked properly even once --- a total and complete waste of money.
I can't really write a true review because I can't get into the site to check it out. I've heard about it and thought I would give it a whirl, but it doesn't navigate to other pages after I try to register.
Was subject to an untwated billing renewal after I discontinued the service and they would only give half my money back. I will never use this dating site again.
Good security initially. Average in all otherways. VERY expensive for what you get compared to similar services.
Got lots of matches at first, but then figured out most of those matches were old and/or deactive. Once I started getting matches they were the same people I saw on the local free dating pages.
I always ask everone to take my reviews with a grain of salt since I only rate websites by my own personal experiences and Chemistry is no exception here.
There is not much I can say about it during the 3 months I've tried it. Your matches are even more limited than on eharmony and their 'expert' dating quiz is suspect to me like pretty much all online dating compatability quizes/surveys. To be honest I had better luck just sitting at a bar minding my own business or just being at work than I did on both Chemistry and Match.com. Maybe Chemistry will work for whoever is reading this I don't know.
I kept paying and paying and paying for Chemistry because they make it so difficult to cancel. Makes me not want to risk it again.
Im not going to say what most people do and go on about how great Chemistry is. Im happy with it, sure, but its no better than the other site I use for setting up dates (WeJustFit.com). The thing about Chemistry is its almost becoming a victim of its own success because you expect to find love in a short time and if you dont your disappointed! I like the site a lot but its been months and im still as single as a pringle go figure! Anyway, Chemistry will prob always be number 1 but dont be scared to see what else is available would be my advice. John, 36
I don't like it when the details of my life become well known. Not that I have anything to hide from anyone, but when they start talking about your life, it's not always pleasant. Tips for not being a lonely person. So I decided to turn to the most secure and secure portal, where I can communicate freely without compromising my privacy. Currently, I am satisfied with the service, which guarantees the privacy and quality of my client.
Chemistry.com seems to mostly a place for scammers. I would say 90% of the contacts I receive are from 'text me' accounts that disappear if you want to view them. I few contacts I have had ask for my phone number in the 1st or 2nd message and stop if I decline. Also the matches about 40% of the time are completely opposite my preferences. I advice everyone to stay away!
Warning warning! In less than one week I caught 4 scammer. And those are the ones I replied to.
One used porn star pics they stole from the net the other hooters girl picture all fake all ask for money
Its possible to do a Google search in pictures you will be amazed at what you will find most of these fakes are from Ghana this is a huge red flag carefully they also use prepay phones manic Jack and internet phone so you can't trace. If the person does not have a phone from USA 100 % fake if they tell you they are American but working or selling art gold jewels probably fake. I complained to chemistry and nothing was done. Zoozk is about the same just wanted to share my experience thanks.
For me chemistry.com does have good chemistry and for me this makes it a good site. I like how the site gets people involved in the chemistry (forgive the pun) of finding each other. I don't like its methods though especially when it comes to it dealing with people's bank accounts but the site still has some good in it. Chemistry is about taking a bad lemon and making good come out of it. After all isn't that what chemistry is all about anyway?
This site has a ton of scammer/phishers that are in Africa and not based in the U.S. Although all of the profiles state they are located very close to your proximity. I encountered four separate incidents where this happened to me. I reported it to the support group for chemistry.com, but all they do is remove the profile. They do not put any type of mechanism to weed those type of individuals. In addition to this occurring, the site itself looks like an after thought. It's very simplistic in design and functionality. Also, there have been times when the site wouldn't function properly. I would get logged off for maintenance, but then could log into the site via a different browser.
Joined up for about a week then cancelled. They refunded all my money. But every woman who contacted me was in their 20s and 30s. I'm 64. Come on, all scams. The last one had the name of Sharon in the title, but the profile description was BRIAN, a man. Even the scammers can't get it right. The site is infested with criminal types, time to get the internet cops in and close it down.
Match needs to shut down Chemistry. It makes Match look bad to be affiliated with it. I stupidly paid to join Chemistry in one of those free for a night come-ons that Match does with Chemistry. What a mistake. I get nothing but TextMe99[number], CallMe[number], and any dating site that allows online names such as this is a bad site.
Don't waste your money on Chemistry.com.
I suspect that "Amberleigh" is actually a forty-eight year old man in a wife-beater with a cigar in his mouth and a bottle of Thunderbird in his desk-drawer.
To get the most out of Chemistry.com, you will require:
(1) A mental prophylactic. Most of the people on the site will give you syphilis just by thinking about them.
(2) A certain unscrupulousness when it comes to deception in the quest for romantic fulfillment (usually called "foreploy").
(3) A taste for rowdy, juvenile, mindless, narcissism.
Chemistry.com is, however, useful for a drinking game that I call "Play No Games." Take a drink for every variation of "No game-players!" or "I don't want to play games!" Do a chaser or shot for every case where this non-game-player shows evidence of playing games.
Finish a bottle of Thunderbird if the non-game-player is looking for a good Christian man or woman.
They completely suck! I signed up on 7-17-10 and my account was disabled on 7-18-10 for no reason I could figure out. I sat on hold for 27 minutes and when I finally got someone on the phone, she said she could activate my account and that the reasons would be in an email that would be sent to me. When I got the email it said they terminated my account for reasons they couldn't tell me and that it was in the best interest of the member community!?! I was really hurt and confused because all I did was respond to the matches they sent me and I used their canned responses! I didn't even email any of the gentlemen because I did not want to proceed that quickly. These people are nut jobs and I can only hope that I get my money back!
In my opinion more people are using Match and you will find a better man-woman-ratio on Mingle2day but it looks like a legit dating site. A+!
Bad dating - This sight has inactive matches that you are sent. I sighned up for 6 months and only received matches for about 3 months. After that I recieved pictures, and when I would put them in an active area. Wait for a reponce and then put them in archives. Then you can see that they are not active.
I contacted the company, they did nothing.
I would not do this sight again
Absolutely FULL of scammers!
In 3 months I received 21 'winks' and 12 messages of interest.
Exactly 75% of both were from fake profiles.
DO NOT waste your money!
They trick you with the ad and then you are stuck. No unsubscribe link from the constant emails. And it's not at all what I thought it was going to be. Stay away from this one!
THIS SITE STATES IT'S FREE BUT IT IS NOT, IT IS CONNECTED WITH MATCH.COM AND THEY SELL YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. I NEVER GOT ANY SPAM NOW I GET HIT ON A DAILY BASIS, WITH 15-53 SPAM INCLUDING SEX SITES WHICH I AM APPALLED AT.
NEVER AGAIN AND THAT WAS ONLY ONE DAY, THE NEXT DAY i CANCELLED EVERYTHING AND AM CONSIDERING A LAW SUIT AGAINST THEM FOR STATING IT'S FREE WHEN THEY SELL YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS, IT'S NOT FREE
Answer: Yes, this is a scam! These people are going to ask you for money when you exchange a few emails. Chemistry is 100% scammer infiltrated. They don't verify people's profiles and photos and they never ban scammers. There are sites that care about their integrity and therefore work honestly: http://J4Love.net is the one I can definitely recommend because it was actually very useful for me and a couple of friends. I had totally hideous experience with Chemistry.
Answer: If it is done through a link do not open. This is how they hack into your account and send viruses to your computer.
Answer: Today is your last day - BE GLAD AND CELEBRATE!
Answer: I think you're going to have to call or chat with a customer rep. I actually had that happen on Match.com and they were very helpful. You can look online to get the contact information. Good luck!
Answer: I agree. However, what bothered me is the matching process. There are only a limited number of men that matched me. So, when they ran out of matches, they sent me everyone! I called to cancel and asked for my money back and they did refund the amount of money I hadn't used. I didn't get any dates at all.
