“Thankyou coparents”

Coparents helped me a lot with the stress of having a child avoiding high ivf charges and the risks involved in it due to less sperm count in me. My wife is 3 months pregnant through coparenting.

I decided to pay for the membership as thought it may increase my chances of finding a co parent. But unfortunately there is just not that many people on there especially in the uk. I did try and contact co parents by email for some help on this matter also with a few questions. They was no reply as they was not the slightest bit interested now that they had took my money. This Web site simply doesn't work Please don't get your hopes up or waste your money

Most men on there just to get lot of free sex and for fun. Nobody is serious on there. A few messaged me saying they are in sexless marriages and are on there for fun as sperm donors. Membership is expensive, in my opinion not worth the value for money. Website is not so user-friendly. AVOID, ask a male/female friend to help, go fertility clinic or just get pregnant with a hook up from a bar or 1 nighter

This website is an absolute SCAM, STAY AWAY! Be careful if your setup for autopay, you may not be aware and you'll get charged in another 6 months even though you have no active profile! Franz cancelled my profile as soon as I started complaining. Haven't been on the site since, yet recently was charged again cause of autopay. Paypal gets off on supporting terrorists so you've been warned!

The people running this are a disaster.

I had a profile without a paid membership for a few months, then decided to pay and get the full package last month. Had to go via PayPal, but my payment didn't go through, and gave me errors twice. However, the charges showed up on my bank account so I contacted them to check on this. The response was cold and dismissive from the beginning - literally 1-2 word responses to my questions, but we kept it civil, although I admit I found it hard at times to not reciprocate with 1-2 word responses from my side when I ask them two questions and I get one word back.
Eventually I got in touch with the bank and they reversed the charges so that was fine. Then I emailed Coparents again to ask how I can actually get a paid membership if PayPal didn't work for me, and I don't have bitcoin (they ask people to contact them for a "third" option). No response.

Few days ago, I went to log in and... surprise surprise... they deleted my account.

Reading the rest of the reviews, you get a sense the site is run by angry and bitter administrators who are adamant on punishing their members at every given opportunity. It's quite extraordinary that I've had this dormant profile that I barely used, never paid to be able to message other members (so can't argue "harassment"), and based on an email exchange with the administrators, where I'm asking how I can give them my money in exchange for a full membership, my account is deleted.

Fortunately, we live in a time when there are numerous other sites for people serious about coparenting, and I won't need to revisit this torture chamber anytime soon.

The overgreat majority of profiles on the site are fake, created to give the impression of activity and traffic however once you subscribe you will find yourself trawling masses of fake profiles.

Tip for consumers:
Buyer beware, this is a fairly sophisticated scam

You'll notice that the good reviews are mainly written by people whose first language is not english and the terrible responses to poor reviews are also not, they appear to be written by the same people. This company is like a scam dating site from the 90s. It's a shame as there is a market here

I was scammed from a user I met on this site. They do not do background checks. Someone from Africa pretending to be a US citizen living in NY working for Chase bank. Have proof of conversations stating how the scams are done and why. Also habe pictures of the man who scammed me. Can send information to those who ask.

It is serious to leave this profile on the site without contacting us.
There is no point in posting a notice without contacting us...

My husband says he didn't sign up but he did. The site has almost 3K Male sperm donors registered and a few hundred people looking for sperm donors.
Update My husband did create the profile. So the profile was not fake.

Looking for help to get a full refund. I canceled my subscription but they didnt stop the auto withdraw of $34 a month from PayPal. I dont use PayPal much so didnt see these transactions until recently. They only refunded a quarter of the transaction. Has this happened to anyone else? How can I get the balance of $510 back? Trying to get my case escalate but they will not reply back.

Updated: Based on Franz S. Response, I should get a full refund because I never used the service. Let see if they do whats right.

Tip for consumers:
Don’t subscribe to to service.

Today, after my last review of this non ethical, non professional, website CoParents.co.uk, I had my account deleted as a retaliation for my comments here. This is the way this manager deal with complaints. As in a dictatorship. Now judge for yourself what kind of people is running this sensitive business! This guy is a French dictator Franz Sof running this business from a bunker, I guess: 14 rue Charles V
Paris, *******, France
*******@CoParents.com
Check on the google map where is their 'office'! A blue door of a private flat. I hope I can pay you a visit very soon in Paris to meet you personally! It will be a pleasure to knock your door and ask you face to face why you have deleted my account! Visit guaranteed.

Here is the email of this member: "You are just amateurs online. There is a lot of professional website offering a better service. "
The site does not please him, he has the right, but in some cases he must go to the other sites, as he mentions.

Cannot tell if this site is scam or not, as I never get to that far to actually pay and subscribe, but based on experiences with registration, it wouldn't surprise me.

Registered on the site, filled up profile nicely, then tried to view my profile - it showed as deleted / awaiting validation. Poor user experience not to differentiate between those, but let's not expect too much. Since no sense to try contacting anyone until they can see my profile, I haven't subscribed but went away to came back after a few hour.

Back in a few hour, there's a mail in my mailbox "you have new matches". I deliberately turned off this type of notification before I logged off previously, so apparently they spam with email regardless the settings. Nothing about activation yet.

Went to login page, enter username + password, isn't not working. Quick check of the registration email, copy details from there, still not working. Trying with email, that works, but surprise, my username somehow has been changed, apparently they just rewrote it. Going to edit profile page, no option there to change it. Going back to main page, suddenly profile cease to exists (see screenshot). Login with email not working now either.

Conclusion: they either have a crap unreliable system which loses profiles, or they do not care about their users and just want their money. I think it's rather the second.

I have registered with my usual username what I use on every social network site, and used the my profile picture I use there too. So it's recognizable a simple google search on te pic or the username brings up those sites. And considering that at first my username was changed before my profile entirely disappeared, apparently they aren't allowing you to register with a username or picture you use on other sites online.

This smells a very greedy approach and possibly scam site, be aware if you try to register.

I can't agree more with S. H.
You might pay because you get a nonsense message and you want to check it, then you use your membership to send some other messages that get never read or occasionally read after a few months when your paid membership has already expired. It seems busy because it comes up at the top of Google searches and many people that aren't serious about it sign up but they don't remain using the site long.
In the long term prideangel is a much better option.

Hopefully you read this before signing up for a membership. I was a non paying member for 3-4 months, and just yesterday I decided to become a full member. Well I should have known better when they accept 'bitcoin' as a form of payment yet my credit cards were declined repeatedly on their system.

The website is located in France yet it primarily targets Americans/westerners.

Based on the fact that the hackers are located near Paris, Frace, they primarily target westerners, their strange names/emails, and the most damning evidence, they accept bitcoin...

I likely just sent $34.00 to radical Islamic extremists that believe it is morally acceptable to steal from all non Muslims.

The site is not very elaborate or complex. It seems they have a few different hackers constantly creating new profiles to create a mirage of user traffic and participation.

After I finally had access to my membership, it was clear foreign hackers were at work. I received the same message from the same user about 9 times.

REFUND MY MONEY. Wait, they unregistered and deleted all my accounts. I will do everything in my power to get this site on the radar of the FBI cyber task force, NSA, CIA, etc. I don't think it should be too difficult for them to shut it down.

SO PLEASE NOTICE - FRANZ just responded to my negative post in under 20 3-4 emails I sent directly on their site and also the emails I sent through Gmail directly to Franz and their overhead criminal terrorist boss, probably some inbred Syrian that is part of the ISIS network.

DO not support ISIS or extremist muslim criminals. Everyone please plaster the internet with the honest reviews of Coparents.com lying, cheating, and stealing ways.

Please contact all local federal agencies with a cyber presence... if they were able to take down an elaborate offshore watch counter fit website and ring... they will have no problem shutting down this ISIS illegal website.

This site is a scam. I used it for less than two weeks and the person in charge of complaints, Franz, refuses to refund the money he has charged me for three months.
The site advertises connecting people who want to co-parent and who are willing to use artificial or natural insemination. I contacted over 15 men and none of them are willing to be std tested and none of them will do artificial insemination. All the people I contacted just want unprotected, random sex and are not looking to be a co-parent.
Don't waste your money. You are better off hooking up in a bar with a random one night stand because at least you don't have to pay for it!

Like all other dating sites, we can not guarantee that you find the right co-parent or donor. This member was a premium member for 30 days. 30 days to find a donor is no time! We understand his dissatisfaction, but finding a donor you have to be patient. You do not go to the market... We reimburse members upon polite and not aggressive demand.

There is only one word that describe's coparents.co.uk... GARBAGE. I paid for membership a couple months ago and utilized the service for three months. In three months I sent out ton's of messages (90 or more) and a whole lot of winks. I got not one answer (can you say scam). Then it dawned on me, their little game is this: The MAJORITY of members are non-paying members so they can't see or respond to any messages I send them. What's worse is that I can't see if a member is a paying member or non-paying (part of the scam). So I end up wasting god knows how much time sending messages or winks to people who will never see them. The other trick they have is dictatorship type rules... you can't post you're e-mail on your public profile (so non paid members can e-mail you) or any forums. They have a 24 hour wait after you make any change to your profile (including a grammer correction) in which your profile is made non public (no one can see it) until they accept your changes. Don't fall for the hype, the website's a ghost town (even the forums). Pay for a membership and you'll see.

Coparents.co.uk = scam so you better of avioding this website and try other legitimate ones.

I had used coparents.com and Id like to warn you that they are pretty much a scam site... About a week ago I had set up an ad through coparents.com, their site is so old and undermaintenanced it wouldnt work, so I contacted them to express my feelings, They deleted my account and started sending me emails CUSSING me out for writing a bad review on another site, I also found out that this chump, Franz Schnell does this often, just google it and its bad reviews and stories of him banning people for complaining with one man saying he had sent him raging emails and had displayed "sociopathic psycological tendencies". A Franz Schnell, the OWNER of the site.
The site is awful, its full of fake profiles and scammers from third world countries and bots, the search filters and buttons dont work, they have no good features, its an atiquated undermaintenaced site. AOL from 1990 literally was more advanced than that site, And their customer service is just despicable... All for like $38.00!

Good news though, I did find a really great site that works perfectly and has really good features and customer service... Co-parentmatch.com

It is everything you could want in a site. Great search filters, really advanced features like moreprofile options and photo upload slots for your photos, Instant messaging, all sorts of really cool stuff, AND its cheaper!
Pirideangel.com is a site I havent tried however Ive seen it has excellent reviews as well

I highly recommend co-parentmatch.com. I strongly discourage you from those scammers at coparents.com, its a complete waste of time and money.
