Fake ladies (since I registered as a man) sending DMs. Once you try to chat with them, Dating.com fleeces your debit/credit card. In fact, the fake women continue to send DMs and are overly flirtatious in order to cajole you to pay more money (since you can't chat with them until you pay). I paid, in the hope that it was a one-time payment but chatting for few minutes (with mostly fake women as I came to realize), then the credit was exhausted and they requested more money. I tried to remove my credit card from their website (the money milking machine), to my chagrin, I couldn't find a feature that allows that. I am of the opinion that the fake women were actually robot apps setup by Dating.com as their conversations didn't suggest high intellects.

Hi there!

Thank you for the review.
I'm sorry to hear that you feel that way about our site, so let me help:)
First of all, could you please clarify what makes you think that members are fake? On our site, we have a very strict security policy, as the security of our members is the top priority. If you think that a profile isn't real, please send a direct link to our customer success team support@dating.com.
Yes, our services aren't free indeed, but that information is clearly stated on the site, all the prices for each service are written there, you can find them on the Help Center page. Have you considered purchasing larger packages of credits? It will allow you to save a lot of money and use services for much longer.
If you wish to delete your current card, you need to make a payment with another card - it will allow you to delete the first one. Also, there is no reason to do that, if you don't make payments yourself your card won't be charged.
If you experienced any other issues, you can contact our support and I'm sure they will be able to help.
Please consider giving our site a chance, we have a lot of interesting services and great people here, so I'm sure you will be able to have a lot of fun =)

I created my account last May 30,2020. I deleted my account June 4 th of 2020 since I cannot afford to pay to continue using their services. It is true that you need to pay to send and read messages and to view images. I paid for 2.99 USD to try the service. I am sure I did not enroll to auto enroll or the premium service. I am 100% sure I deleted my profile with them however, today I received an email for auto enrollment premium charged. I sent an email for me to be refunded but I did not receive any response yet. I tried to recover my account but I need not receive any email as instructed for the recovery. Sad thing was there is no way for me to use the service I paid because I don't have an account with them anymore. Please refund me. Thank you.

Hi Christy,

Thank you for your comment!
I think you forgot to cancel your monthly subscription. When you make your first payment, you automatically subscribe for the monthly subscription, there is a notification about it on the payments page. If you made your payment with a card, then you will need to contact our customer success team to cancel the subscription. It can take us some time to answer emails, I hope for your understanding. If you wish to cancel the subscription right away, please call us or use the Live Support feature on the desktop version of the site: www.dating.com

I recommend doing a google image search every time a profile of a person is toooo good to be true. They are not lawyers, or business owners, or a therapist etc etc as they say they are. They are all models paid I guess to have their photo for a profile and then there is an unknown chat moderator. I am of those who never post a comment or review. But I like helping out people. This dating.com website just plays w/ our emotions and then your hard earned money.

Hi March!

We fight hard against fake profiles and scammers. Please send us a link to a profile you experienced issues with to support@dating.com and we’ll personally check the profile for you.
Also, a lot of members attend professional photo sessions before activating profiles on our websites, so it isn't really strange to see a lot of beautiful people.

Totally scam.
July 4, 2021

This is how it works, so people in there could be real and good people as i also was there spent my money once! No matter how much you spending on it they want you to be in there forever likes passive paying. When you start to send your contact information they will blurred it. They do want you to go talk else where but on the website. Smart! So people could keep paying more credit.

Dear Joy,

Thank you for your feedback.

We believe this blurring came into play when you passed your contact details. In fact, we have certain policies regarding personal information exchange but they are flexible and you are more than able to get your contacts to your match. Contact us at support@dating.com so that we walk you through them to help you achieve your goal.

I have been on this site for an entire year. One guy in particular caught my attention. His username is Bobby, he is 42, from Auderghem, Belgium. If you do come across this guy, log off immediately, cancel your account because this dating site will rip you off. The reason why I have cancelled my membership is because there was a red flag, especially with this guy, he will make a lot of plans, luring you in, making you hope for a relationship but he will never give you his full name and he will not do face time or skype. You wont get any contact information from him. One thing i should have done is read the reviews from this site because his profile came up as a negative review. This dating site is a SCAM.

Good day!
Are you sure this member was ready to continue building relationships with you? Have you discussed that with him? We are sure he may tell you the reason if you just have a normal conversation, lile all people do if they come any struggles in their relationships.

Dear Tanya,

Thank you for your feedback.

Maybe some questions embarrassed your friends which made them ignore them? Have you tried discussing such things with your friends here? A regular conversation is the best way to know each other better.

Fake profiles, scammers
January 31, 2023

I've been on dating. Com for a week, and I spend almost 800 dollars to have some interactions with fake people, scammers, etc. So ashamed, is not possible to finish your credits while they are saying that is 1 dollar per credit, per message. Just a rip off, stay away from dating site. I'm so upset with my self that I've been scammed by the company, and the scammers from the site. I guy they have they own people as well, good looking, who are insisting with messages, and complimenting you, and eat your money. I believe so, and I mean it.

Hi! I am sorry that our credit system may be a source of your disappointment with our website. Indeed, using certain services costs a fixed number of credits. Once they end, you should top up your profile to continue your communication. Please email us at support@dating.com so that we could advise you on how to make credits last and send you the credit expenditure.

Too many Scams and abusive
September 17, 2022

1. A lot of profiles are scams.
Emails are manipulated to pay for sending pictures. I had several public pictures, but a fake profile kept asking to send pictures in chat -and that required additional pay.
2. I received health threats.
3. When I deleted all pictures, and changed the name to 'scamwebsite ', I still kept receiving love emails and noone asking about the name.
4. I asked for a refund as that all was in the very first day of subscription. Meanwhile, this request is ignored.

Dear Victoria,
Thank you for reaching out and providing us with such valuable feedback. We take such a case seriously, and let me inform you that we managed to locate a member that requested you to send a personal photo. As that member explained to you, he wasn't able to locate photos on your profile. That’s the only reason that particular member requested you to send a photo.
We have a moderation team that verifies all members to make sure that everyone is real and is interested in meeting someone. As long as the member's profile has a blue tick sign, it means that the profiles have been successfully verified by us.
We have successfully removed your email address, so you will no longer receive notifications from us.
As my colleague successfully informed you, a refund is not possible if the credits are already spent. You can review our refund policies here. https://www.dating.com/people/#refund-policy. We hope for your understanding and would be happy if you could give us another chance to create a better experience for you.

Guys, honestly, dating.com is the best and fantastic dating site I have ever used. In the past, I was an active part of some of the dating sites but these sites always disappointed me. When I joined dating.com, I realized that I was such a stupid that I wasted my time in those sites. The dating.com has given me the best experience of all times. It has got real people and some of them are living in your town. It has got fully admin support. So, whenever you feel unhappy, you can send a ticket to admin and he will guide you properly. I think there is no other platform that can replace dating.com. I am happy to be its part. Are you satisfied with yours?

June 3, 2020

I can get that, how it feels, on the off chance that somebody dump you and leave you in relationship. I had a separation around two years prior. I was frantically infatuated with my better half who was no childish that he leave me for reasons unknown. I attempted a ton to get in touch with her and even I visited her home. In her home I found that he is engaged with some other person. At the point when I saw them kissing one another, I feel so broke later on when I asked her she slapped me and affronted me.
I was so discouraged around then, even I didn't leave my space for about a month. At that point there came a dating.com in my life who safeguarded me and got joy my life.

I realize that a few group are disturbed from dating.com model. It is on the grounds that they need to have actual connection with their lady friends however it is contrary to the standards of dating.com. As they need to have an online connection with your accomplice. In the event that you submit to their principles and guidelines than you need not to stress over anything. Dating.com is the best appraised internet dating local area.

Possible Scam?
March 23, 2017

After several weeks of looking the ladies over, I finally decided to try the site out. Signed up at began to chat supposedly. I contacted 4 different women, and all answers seemed like robo chat and not a real person. No answers to direct questions. One email and chat was long and very specific, answer was how are you today? Instead of addressing the letter and the questions. I think because you are charged by credits, and not by a monthly due, I can see why you would want some one to respond to endless chat. MONEY! I signed up one day and cancelled the next before anymore than $9.99 turned in to possibly hundreds if you are stupid enough to bite on fake women. I did have one contact that seemed like a real person, but still insisted on useless chat instead of getting down to why you are on a dating site. To avoid bull$#*! and actually meet someone. All I can say is use with caution. I for one am not interested in trying this one again.

So easy to use
January 26, 2023

I've been on a number of dating sites in my life, and this is the best one I've ever joined. It's not just that the site is easy to use, or that it has an excellent search engine (it does!), or that it's packed with features. It's also that I've found a number of great people here. I'm a single dad, and there are a lot of great single dads on this site.

If you're planning to use this site please don't, it's a scam to rip you off your money. No monthly subscription, you buy credits, this credits won't even last you one chat with one person on the app and you keep getting so many messages, which makes it very suspicious. Save your money don't be a victim. You won't be able to hold a full conversation with anyone let alone find someone to date. It would be nice to have a body regulating activities of this dating sites. Too many scams and ripping people off. I deleted my account after I've spent a lot and still couldn't have a full conversation with anyone, without running out of credits. Credit cost as high as $96

Hi Icha,

Thank you for your comment.
We are sorry to hear that you feel that way about our site. Let me kindly inform you that we don't have the subscription, but it doesn't provide unlimited access to services. It provides you with 10 free Online Chats for 3 minutes each, introduction messages and an ability to purchase credits. If you wish to have longer chats or use other services, then some additional credits need to be purchased. Every credit spent on our site is used to support all of the departments that ensure you have a safe and enjoyable time on our site while being able to build a relationship with a special member.
Could you please clarify what do you mean by "unable to have a full conversation"? You have mentioned 96 USD payment, that's a payment for 160 credits, for example 160 credits can provide you with 160 minutes of Online Chat and that's more than enough to have a "full conversation". Or did you experience some issues? Simply don't open or send emails and you will be able to chat for a long time.
I agree, our app isn't the cheapest. But we are doing our best to make it worth the price :). On our site, you can feel protected and successful in your search! We are constantly developing our services to provide our customers with the best experience possible.
If you need some help you are more than welcome to contact our customer success team: support@dating.com

Fake profiles
November 7, 2021

They are persons trained to lure subscibers to spend money as much as possible. They easily accept who you are (divorced, having kids, older age...). They never try to meet you in person. If they accept you, why do they refuse to meet you or find the other free ways of communication? After realizing that you can't keep spending for the app and they can't get more money from you, they'll find a reason to leave you. Of course you find joys and beloved feeling when chatting with them, but you don't know that your emotions are being played. Then you'll be hurt. I've experienced two years to realize that terrible things. And I don't want anyone to get hurt like me, so that's why I write this review. In case you still want to accept to pay for getting fake beloved feeling, just do it.

Hello Nguyen.
Why would people not accept who you are? This is an adult normal position for a relationship. Usually, people require some time before getting ready to disclose their data and meet offline. Don't be in a rush, give yourself some time! If you leave people, they often may do the same in reply, as it hurts them, once you leave. We would love to provide you with all the necessary guidance once you get in touch with us at support@dating.com.
