SCAM
June 29, 2019

STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE! AND IF DONT, DO_NOT_ GIVE THEM YOUR CARD NUMBER OR PAYPALL! Omg, where to begin - When I signed up, even before I put a picture on, instantly my inbox was just popping with new messages. From AMAZINGLY handsome men. And all of them were (surprise surprise!) either doctors, lawyers or models. (Also 'doctors and lawyers' looked like a models.) ALL of them: Non smokers, no drinking, no divorced, no kids. Like, WHO IS THAT STUPID?! FOR REAL? I was lucky, I didn't spend any penny there and started to read reviews. But you know what; I'm really lonely and wanna find love; I can imagine, if the scam hasn't been that obvious - eventhough I'm kinda poor student, I would pay for love and spend my last money on it. Luckily I didn't, but I know there are people who have not much money and makes that mistake. I wanna BURN your site down, you piece of $#*! -pathetic frauds. You're playing with real, lonely hearts here. Hope you, who are responsible of this $#*!, roll with your scam money for a couple years and burn in hell for eternity. You should go to jail. You're just pathetic, pathetic thief. Nothing more, I just wanna spit on you. I'm gonna make sure, everybody knows and spread the word about this.

It was the first time in my life to get online on a dating network, and although it I am quite experienced in using the Internet and Internet security, I didn't check the site properly and the interface seems quite sophisticates, somehow implies correctness. I registered to find out that in order to be able to send or read messages or emails you have to pay credits which cost 80 cents for 20 credits, and 1 minute life chat is 1 credit, one offline email is also 1 credit! This was the first shock, just unreasonably expensive! Fine I said, I pay it and there is something which you get later, it is impossible that you have to pay this much. Then I got a contact by a very attractive gentleman with great photos, but, as I am a linguist by profession, the langue he used didn't quite match his profile. I spoke to him in his language, serbian, which is not my mother tongue, but I perfectly understand and speak, then i asked him if he had ever visited my country and city, he said no but if he had a reason he would. Then i gave my skype and mail and asked him to contact me if he ever decides to come, I'll take him in a restaurant which is truly nice (related to the previous conversion). The profile is FILIP Belgrade. And all of a sudden the conversant became upset and said, o you can find mine number in a public directory, to which I commented the it is impossible that a gentleman who is a plastic surgeon reacts in this uneducated way! I sent him a message that he must be fake, after which he disappears. Another person is Predrag from Podgorica, to whom I did the same, in his language, saying if you really are this person on this site full of fakes please give me your skype or whatever contact and his reply was: "why don't you say it simple, you don't have money" to which I replied, I have but I won't give it to you. Otherwise, the fist 2-3 messages you get for free, so you can text in the beginning and they get you hooked. SCAMMERS!

Complete scam
March 1, 2021

I should have read all the negative opinions before signing up, as as they all turned out to be true! I suggest that anyone that reads this opinion and that is tempted to sign up, learn from someone who already tested it - you will save yourself a LOT of money and frustration! The site is a COMPLETE SCAM: interestingly, the majority of men are doctors (mostly plastic surgeons!), lawyers or architects. This I could even believe, but then the profiles just started falling apart. I found one man especially interesting (wish I had listened to my initial gut feeling - "too good to be true") - we had a 9hr time difference (California and Europe) and the guy would write in the middle of the night, and when asked about this - tried to convince me that he had a "night project" and that's why he was not sleeping (BTW, he was the owner of the company and apparently had offices across the world, and yet had to do the night shifts - yeah, right!). After a while I started to "worry" that the poor guy wasn't sleeping at all! Then he "got Covid" and said he was in-and-out of hospital, that's why he would be offline for extended periods of time - as far as I know, when you have Covid, you need to stay in isolation and not change your whereabouts each day. And when I asked about direct communication, he came up with half-a-dozen excuses why it was not possible. And I confirm that their accounts are handled by 2-3 different people. One day he would quote poetry, the next would write as if English was not even his native language (he is supposed to be American).
I also went to the trouble to read "positive" reviews about this site and guess what: at least a few of them were identical, although supposedly written by different "satisfied" customers.
By the way, chances are that if anyone has a free membership sponsored by this site (please note the small print under the profiles), they are most likely hired by the website to con people feeling lonely and vulnerable, and extort money by encouraging you to buy additional credits - in order to read their "love letters". Isn't that considered as fraud and illegal?
STAY AWAY!

I'm trying to help everyone trying to make a decision on whether or not to sign up for this site. Please hear me out: DO NOT DO IT.

I have been on other dating websites, including match.com & okcupid. They are by far better and cheaper. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THIS SITE?

1.) site is VERY EXPENSIVE. They use the concept of credits and you have to buy those credits. Once you read first email from the person you're talking to, subsequent emails cost $15.99 EACH. Imagine that ripoff? Imagine paying to communicate and paying per message. This is a money making scheme, they aren't here to help people meet each other. They also use concept of sending each other "gifts". These gifts are ridiculously expensive and can cost over $50 (ridiculous).

2.) THE GUYS SEEM FAKE. Profiles are obviously of MODELS. I was bombarded with many emails as soon as I signed up. I mean many. From profiles of very good looking guys, very obvious to the eye that these are fake. Their messages seemed fake also. They keep on trying to send you a picture or video. Why you may ask. Because to open it you need to pay $15.99. This is why I'm convinced the fake profiles are made by the site itself, otherwise what is the motivation for the "guys" needing the money if it's not going to them.

3.) I COULD NOT LOG IN BACK. I'm sure what my log in details were, but system could not allow me to log in. I tried to reset password, nothing happened, no email to my inbox. I finally emailed them to cancel it, not sure if they will. Also told my bank not to pay anything after I send them the email.

GO TO OTHER DATING SITES. Match.com, okcupid.com and others.

Hi Dee,

Thank you for the review.
Let me address your concerns:

1) Our prices may seem a bit high, check what you get for it: anti-scam protection, constant updates with new exciting features. You can look at it from this side: you are paying for a great experience and emotions and we are doing our best to provide that experience to you. A good experience is a great investment of money:)
2) 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 profiles again for you.
3) I can see that your profile is Active so you should be able to log in without any issues. I would recommend you to try resetting your password first by clicking on the Forgot Password button. If nothing helps, then please contact our customer success team, describe what exactly happens when you try to log in and they will look into this matter for you: support@dating.com
I can see that you have requested to cancel your monthly membership, my colleague has done that for you and sent you an email of confirmation on the 6th of July, please check it.
So consider giving our site a chance, I'm sure you will be able to have a lot of fun if you try.

Waste of time and money.Its just chatting for credits with letters and pictures of beautiful woman. The digital profiles of the women are beautiful but all they are is a texting chatbox. Expect no number or email exchange. The credit system is expensive trash scam especially the virtual video chat is waste of time and money especially if no exchange of number or email. Exchanging phone numbers or email should NOT BE DIFFICULT BUT IT IS. All the Darling My Love Miss You talk is Fake News. If You truly want someone You Will Exchange numbers. Spent alot of Money on empty conversations with many different beautiful woman. They all say the same thing in their own little different ways. But No Real Number exchange which is IMPORTANT TO ATTAIN. THIS DATING APP IS TRASH IT REMINDS ME OF A CALL CENTER WITH WOMEN WORKING FOR MONEY. Its DISGUSTING DISSAPOINTING AND A VERY DANGEROUS GAME THEY PLAYING WITH PEOPLE LIFE IF YOU ASK ME! DATING.COM IS A MONEY SCHEME SCAM! #FAKE LOVE NO LOVE DATING APP. YOU ARE LITERALLY SPENDING MONEY TO TALK ABOUT NOTHING!

1. The moment you create account you get messages from bunch of good looking profiles. Fake alert 1. The message cannot be read after 2 interactions. To register profile u need to pay $2.99.

2. They force you to buy credits and you spent $15.99 for that. Fake alert 2. Now bunch of fake girls will flood you with messages which I never seen in any sites.

3. By the time you answer all of them you would have evaporatedyour credits. Those girls literally force you to buy more credits. Mind it you continue to receive few messages from those girls to entice you more but you cannot reply without additional credits. Now you go and buy additional $15.99.

3. Now you tend to be smart tell few select girls that this app is costly so come on WhatsApp. The girls (fake), also will agree with you and then ask you to send the phone number as mail message. Mind it each mail message will consume 10 credits. Now when you message your number to couple of girls you would have evaporated your credits. Those girls will come back and say I couldn't read the mail. Can you send each digit as one single message. Means buy additional 120 credit points which is additional 80$. By the time you realized you are ripped you are already down by 120$ in 5 mins.

All those girls are fake. All the pics are hand cleaned fake pics. You ask for fb, LinkedIn they say they don't have social accounts. Surprisingly all girls will say samething. Many girls don't even know the city names in other countries. I think most of them are some illiterate using language translators or some robots.

This is completely scandalous and cheating website.

Don't waste time and money.

Hello Krish,
Thank you for your comment.
I'm sorry to hear that you feel that way, so let me address your concerns:
1. On our site, we have the Let's Mingle service that allows you to send messages to the whole group of people, so it isn't strange to receive a lot of messages right away.
2. Indeed services on our site aren't free, but all the money that you spend is being used to make sure that you are completely protected and receive the best service possible. We have a very strict Security Policy, you can read more about it here: https://www.dating.com/people/#dating-securely so if you think that some profile isn't real, you can always contact our customer success team and report it: support@dating.com
3. It is forbidden to send personal contact information in emails or regular chats (it is made so for security reasons), that is the reason why Ladies didn't receive that information. If you want to exchange personal contact details, you can use Video Chat or Flowers and Presents services.
I hope I was able to clarify this matter for you. And if you still think that you encountered some fake profiles, please don't hesitate to report them to our customer success team. Please don't forget to attach the supporting materials that you have. And yes, please bear in mind that a lot of members on the site don't speak English that well and indeed are using Google Translate to communicate.

They do two different ways to scam you, first they send you messages from fake people, they try to keep you in chat to finish your credit, they just asking questions so that you write more and more, and if you ask a question they don't answer, many of them are robot to chat to you, they are using nice photos for the profile and sending many messages to you, from the beginning even your profile is not complete they send messages to chat to you to encorage you to pay more for fake people, and the seconed scam is they cut money from your card without your permission and when I wrote for their online support over the WhatsApp, they read messages but didn't answer and didn't take any action about my question, I just ask them why you cut 100 EUR from my card while I didn't purchase anything more.
I highly recommend you keep far away from this website they will take your money and they will waste your time with fake profile, I think this is the worst scam in the world, because people who visit these websites looking for better life and love but they cannot find it and they will loose time, energy, money and love

Thank you for the review.
Let me kindly inform you that we protect you from fake profiles.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.

There is a notification about that option on the Payment page, there is also a box at that bottom of that page that can be checked/unchecked to enable/disable it.

It can take us some time to reply in WhatsApp, I hope for your understanding. If you wish to speak with our support right away, you can always call us or use the Live Support feature on the desktop version of the site: www.dating.com
