MINUS 5 STARS
July 12, 2023

None of the "women" asked can describe major streets or bodies of water in their area that a 12-year old would know. They contact you like you are new to the site, even though you just spent 2 weeks chatting with them. TOTAL SCAM!

Complete scam and disgusting rip off! Women (and men who use pictures of hot women) get paid by the site. Don't trust these scammers! I let them con me into this nasty site and lost money. But eventually I left it and now I'm in relationship with an honest and wonderful woman.
My recommendation is: don't waste your time and money on Dateyou. All they can offer to their members is beautiful pictures of fantasy women and plenty of scammers who are there to milk men for money!

Pay coins to chat scam.
October 18, 2023

You get to pick a package by coins. Each send chat cost you coins its a scam using AI. The conversations on most dont respond correctly to your questions. For a male you get bombared by people that dont fit your set filter. Hey Babe, Handsome, are the common site responses. All the women have conversation that end in please don't leave me, some sort of sexual advances. Ask them question on the area they live. They change the topic.

You've Been Had
December 18, 2023

This site is has got to be the most expensive dating site that you can go on. It doesn't take long to realize that something just isn't right. Nobody wants to really date they just want to chat. No subscription, you pay every time you want to chat it cost a dollar. Example, if you say hello that's 50 coins and at $5 for 220 coins you ask or reply five times you've spent five dollars. So in say five minutes you may spend 20-30 dollars and you've asked where each other live. Everyone is about getting you to chat and that's it. They basically try to entice you to chat and it's always with much younger women for guys. Not one person wanted to actually meet and get to know each other even though we supposedly live in the same city. They give free coins once a day and it's no more than enough one message, hello. There's much better alternatives.

Total Scam
August 13, 2023

I was chatting with someone for over a year. We seemed to be into each other as long as we stayed on the site. We never met or ever had plans to meet. I'm pretty sure she's either "bait" or a "virtual woman " beware!

Scam site
August 18, 2023

Spent a few bucks buying credits so I could chat with so called hot women. At least 70% of the women wanted to sleep with me yet not one was willing to switch the chat to another app which was free so we could arrange to meet for a meal. The usual response was "I'm more comfortable chatting here."
Avoid this site if you're trying to genuinely find someone honest.

Dateyou is insanity!
September 22, 2021

Their women are paid actresses. I also feel the need to warn everyone off phony sites like Dateyou. Absolutely stay away from this scam! Let's apply our common sense, guys – it's unreal. It's just a well-organized lame business where they make huge profits exploiting lonely gullible people. Scam!

It's anything but dating! J4Dream.com with their real and genuine ladies is like a breath of fresh air compared to Dateyou. I have never felt more ripped off than when dealing with Dateyou. They are con company run by unscrupulous money hungry fraudsters! The site is entirely about scam. You get to chat only with paid employees. Girls aim at making you deplete credit on chatting since they get a share of it. Try to mention that you are coming to see them next week and they will beat around the bush and refuse. Big shout out: stay away!

The slot machine game when you login is nice. You bet 25 coins to win or lose more coins. At least you feel like you've gotten some value out of your money.

Seriously, this site is a scam. Never have I seen so many "girls" that live in my town on one dating site. More here than Tinder or AdultFriendFinder. You buy and burn coins to talk to dead-end profiles.

How do you know it is a scam? I replied to three profiles in the middle of the night, and each profile responded back within 5-10 minutes. Seriously, what a coincidence that all three users were up at 3:30 am. Once you suggest taking the chat to something like WhatsApp (that is both free and encrypted), they all belly ache that they feel safer on dateyou.com or I am not respecting their desire to be get to know me on that site. It's all non-sense as who feels safer on a shady site, in which your chats are not secure and subject to monitoring (so you don't shout BOMB in a chat)? Why pay for chatting when there are better and more secure chat sites? One user said she does not yet use Instagram, but she intends to really soon. The website algorithm must detect when you go online and immediately prompts a bot, a fake or paid user to engage you as the likes and messages start coming within minutes.

So, if you don't mind being led on by bots, fakes or profiles that are being compensated by the platform owner to jerk you around, then have fun. If you value a dollar and know when to call bulls**t, then don't bother with this site.

Rinse and repeat this review as most all of these sites are operating in the exact same manner.

Spent over $500 buying coins to chat with many ladies over several days but NONE of them would ever consider moving off the site or talking off the phone I suspect most are bots programmed to perpetuate chat conversations that require purchase of coins (or credits) to send each message. Lots of dirty talk if that's what you want but forget having a conversation with a live human being.

Most profiles are fake. One person hacked my phone, scammed me out of over $24,000, and had "her" friends deposit several counterfeit cheques into my bank account while using my home address to apply for countless unemployment benefits under various names. Made deposits to purchase bitcoin using my money and had the purchasing site send me the tax receipts to indicate I was the one making the purchases,, thus forcing me to pay the taxes for all her profits. Person and her/his cohorts may be from Ghana. Countless African scammers there pretending to be from various American cities.

Lies
May 5, 2022

Women say they are in your area but they're not. After speaking to them you ask them for their phone number and they say let's stay on this platform! And I do notice when they speak to you some of the words in sentences that they type are backwards I mean backwards in a way people do not speak in the United States. I believe they're just sitting in an office and going by a script that is given to them. All of them are liars! And the same questions seem to be asked over and over in one conversation. Sometimes when you are chatting about one thing the response you get is usually I'm a very good cook what's your favorite. TOTAL SCAM!

I was a woman seeking a man. Well after I signed up. I kept getting messages to chat from 'women' I was getting bombarded with ridiculous messages. Seemed like some sort of AI chat or bot. I had to unsubscribe and block the site. Really sad that I can see how men get suckered into this stuff. Don't spend your money it's completely fake.

With a little bit of common sense it's easy to understand that these women are employed by the site and paid for chatting with you. They just want you to spend coins, they don't want to meet you. When you see a woman being online 24/7 and wanting to chat with you all the time this is definitely a red flag. There are many red flags for fraud on DateYou. When you ask them to exchange contact details they sidestep it or find all kinds of stupid excuses. The truth is it's impossible to get them to chat off this f#*#ng site. They are just making money there. Don't waste your time.

Such a scam site.

Every woman on the site is only interested in keeping you buying coins. I, personally think, the "women" on the site work in a call center or are A.I. Bots. Don't waste your money on this site!

So fake!
December 21, 2022

Hi, I'm back again. I sent in a review with the same title. But I just wanted to add to the first review that my second message to them was not sent. I'll attach it here. I wanted them to hear it from me. I needed to buy coins to send it and I wasn't going to put my credit card number in. I just can't chance that but I wondered if there was a way for that message to get to them because it infuriates me that it's fake. As I mentioned, what if I wanted to meet that woman for lunch today. She would never show up because it's fake OK you guys will do a good job investigating. Thank you.
