Datingfactory.com, advertises footfedish partners. Once they get credit card payment, they give you womens profiles to hook up with - all over the WORLD. That is totally useless. They don't give refunds on your card or complaint. If I could sue them I would!

Lousy Customer Service
December 9, 2019

Affiliate marketing isn't cut for everyone - only those truly know how to bring quality and relevant traffic can hope to score a success. I don't get you get angry at Dating Factory - they gave us all a stick and a lake to fish in, but some of us go home with a full bucket of fish!
In my book, they are a perfect partner to work with, always helpful and there to help me optimize on performance, always paying on time, and I couldn't be happier with epc.

They scammed by intellectually disabled son out of over AU$1000. He joined Disabled DatingClub.com.au for 2 weeks but the fine print that he obviously did not comprehend provides for automatic renewal unless there is a formal withdrawal by fax and email. There were also no legitimate contacts on this dating website; a total scam.

Don't sign up as a member, they try to make extra money from any of your little or big needs. Lastly after a couple of "starters" or however they call them I had suddenly got my money back. There was no special reason and they were prepared to make it undone but they asked € 25 administration costs. See more on my blog datingsites dot pinkdating dot eu

Scam artists
March 1, 2020

I continually get money deducted from my credit card from this company and i have no idea what this company is nor do I visit Dating sites. I have to fight with my credit card company every month to take off the charge. People need to report this company to the police!

I also wrote a bad feedback on this site before, until the moment I realized that the allegations are not quite correct:

- My VIP profile exist for about 2 weeks and I had two very serious interactions with
Attractive women who are guaranteed no fake profile or scam.

- One woman with profile I personally know from the "real" life, so 100% no fake

The filter concept of this website has a pioneering vision!

A VIP profile is worthwhile, because there are also interactions possible with members who have a free account

I really really don't understand how such a long standing platform is run in this way. We've been with Dating Factory and another provider for years now. Due to frustrations and poor tools, we have earnt next to nothing on this platform, while on another I turnover a very comfortable income. I find Dating Factory immensley frustrating and out of date. Prices for members are too high and the platform offers no custom pricing to be set per site. The promo tools like their member list tool is so out dated. I seem to make headway for a while, then there is a shift in staff and I'm back to square 1. Lately however, there has been some hosting updates leaving the admin platform barely responsive. There is sooo much potential here, just marred with hickups and patchy to none existent at times comms. It's almost like the platform to to be re-launched after a diet.

They don't help you to make money. They're the only ones making money off of your site. I could do better writing articles and displaying AdSense ads. Support is bad. It's too bad, because it seems like a good business model.

Disgracefully dishonest
September 13, 2017

I've already written a review of these nothing less than fraudsters (fake profiles etc) but wanted to add that it may not be obvious that the site you on or interested in is a Dating Factory site so be sure to check, somewhere it will day something like "powered by the Dating Factory". If you see that then run. Please also google Tania Fathers the one founder and send whatever company she's got a high powered job at a stinky email telling them of her fraud.

I have been with the Dating Factory for more than a 5 years and have no issues as some others are saying. It must be an individual matter. Dating factory do pay affiliates on time.

DatingFactory is based in Switzerland.

Someone from the Switzerland's Federal Department of Economic Affairs had this to say:

Providing false or misleading information to consumers might be considered a criminal offence under the Federal Act against Unfair Competition. If you wish you may file a criminal complaint with the Public Prosecutor's Office of the Canton of Zug where the company is based. In your complaint you should state clearly why you think a criminal offence has been committed.

Avoid like the plague.
January 27, 2018

They just send random canned messages from members all over the world. Then you have to fax in a signed form to cancel your membership! Still not sure if they will actually stop debiting my account as I have heard others have still had their accounts debited even after faxing in the signed form.

I have excellent experience with these guys. They always reply to my emails and solve any possible issues I might have. Also, they pay on time (If you can make money with online dating)

datingfactory.com seem to be alive and well and still encouraging people to sign up. I am interested in starting a dating site in an already saturated market but i will still make a go of it. Its sad to see the disappointing experiences you have had. Customer service should be as excellent as the product/ service provided. I found this article http://onlinedatingpost.com/archives/2013/08/big-changes-online-dating-white-label-provider-landscape/
Has anyone been impacted by this? Its an old article but any info would still be valuable

A trip
March 18, 2018

Not only did they lock me into an extra month of paying, the people who contacted me were either robots or something. They send you mail making you think someone is interested in you, and the only way to read the mail is if you upgrade. I was very disappointed.

A waste
July 7, 2015

This company started on a good note but has gone bad within the last 2 years. As a partner affiliate they have inconsistent policies that change all the time making it hard to promote. The account mangers are a bunch boobs without knowledge of marketing and are stuck with what they see and not what is needed to promote their product and only agree to what is set by a higher up boob. The conversion rate is poor because DF sends spammy emails that are 'supposed' to get member. Upgrades... no stars for this bloody bunch of euro scammers.
