Report on User Concerns Regarding Practices on Dream-Singles
Introduction

This report summarizes user experiences and observations concerning Dream-Singles, a platform marketed as a space for meaningful connections. Based on user accounts,
Certain practices on the site raise questions about transparency and the user experience, particularly regarding communication dynamics, cost structures, and the
Authenticity of interactions.
Observations on Marketing Promises and User Experience

Dream-Singles promotes itself as a platform for finding genuine relationships. However, some users report a sense of unattainable connection, feeling as though they
Are encouraged to pursue interactions that remain vague and inconclusive. This feeling is often described as akin to "chasing a carrot on a string," where the promise
Of a relationship is present but remains just out of reach. Users have expressed frustration when interactions end abruptly or become less engaging after prolonged periods,
Creating the impression that conversations are prolonged primarily for user retention rather than for fostering genuine relationships.
Financial Structure and Perceived Pressure to Extend Conversations

A number of users report concerns with Dream-Singles's pay-per-minute chat feature, describing it as a costly way to communicate without guarantees of meaningful engagement.
Some users have raised concerns that conversations seem to be subtly extended, potentially increasing their expenses while offering limited substantive exchange. This has
Led some users to question whether the site's structure may unintentionally prioritize paid interactions over genuine connection.
Potential Use of Automated Responses and Ambiguity in Interactions

Users have noted that interactions on the site occasionally feel generic or formulaic, which has led some to question whether they might be conversing with automated
Systems rather than real people. This perception can affect user trust, as the lack of personalized responses can give the impression of a predetermined interaction structure.
Although there is no direct evidence to confirm this, the ambiguity has left some users wondering about the nature of their interactions and seeking greater transparency.
Profile Consistency Across Platforms and Authenticity Concerns

Another common observation among users is the presence of similar profiles—often with identical photos, names, and information, found on Bravo, and Anastasia, across various dating platforms. In cases
Where users have attempted to connect with these profiles on other sites, they sometimes report a lack of recognition, which may lead to concerns about whether these profiles
Represent real individuals. While such occurrences could have legitimate explanations, they have raised questions among users regarding profile authenticity.
Conclusion

The feedback from users highlights a need for greater clarity in several areas of Dream-Singles's operations, including its chat structure, profile authenticity, and
Communication transparency. For users, clearer communication about the nature of the site's services and any automated features would likely enhance trust and satisfaction.
This report suggests that further examination of these user concerns may be beneficial to ensure the platform's practices align with user expectations for transparency and authenticity.

Nothing but White Slavers masquerading as a dating site.
January 21, 2024

Dream Singles is your typical dating site. Women get paid to write letters and chat. If you turn on video in your chat, you see the woman, but she doesn't see you. It costs 10 credits to hit "SEND" no matter how short a message is. You're limited to 2,000 characters per letter. Buying bulk credits gets you a price of $0.40 per credit, so a message costs $4.00 to send and goes up to $7 and change If you buy a smaller number of credits.

They warn you that nudity is not allowed on the site, but if you send a picture that doesn't have nudity in it and they don't like it, they'll show that you sent the picture, but the woman won't receive it. They will also alter photos they don't like. You have to ask the woman to send the photo back to you to see what she actually received.

If a woman sends you a video, it costs 10 credits to view it. Introductory videos and private photo albums all cost 10 credits. It's hard to talk about the site owners without resorting to profanity. They milk every cent out of you they can.

They have chatters using some profiles and they go fishing hoping to make money. I talk to one woman and we will meet soon, but three times she pops up with a chat request. I know it isn't her because the request comes in at a time that I know she's sleeping. She also asked a question all three times that she knows would be stupid to ask me. I recommend never answering a chat request on this site. Go online when you have arranged to be online with the woman and send her a chat request. Give her a piece of information once that can be used to verify her identity and ask for it. If she can't answer immediately, meaning the person on the other end had to look up the answer, dump the chat.

The quality of women, at least the older ones, is high. A lot of doctors, psychologists, business execs, and business owners.

Gifts are ridiculously overpriced. If you want to send a gift card, it costs $594 for the woman to net $300. The women can't send you any gifts, which they have complained to me about. The older women are particularly eager to reciprocate. They are legitimately looking for husbands.

If you want to get a woman's contact information, you have to send 200 letters. If you buy credits at the cheapest price they offer, you'll spend $800 before you can ask for contact information. If the woman agrees to have her information released, you now have to give the site $80 more.

I know the women get paid because I have a good friend in Ukraine who I see every time I go there (6 times since 11/17. Last there 11/23). She's my fraud detector. She went to sign up on the site and they called her within an hour giving her details on how much she would be paid for each service. Older women don't seem to get paid, or at least they're quiet about it.

Proceed with caution here and expect to receive over 1,000 letters a day from women who can't read and who have no common sense. I stated my preferred age range and my height is listed in my profile. I get letters every day from women young enough to be my granddaughters and 6 to 7 inches taller than me in their bare feet.

You might find a good woman here, but it's going to cost you. You can easily spend over $1000 a month here. Forewarned is Forearmed.

Tip for consumers:

Quality women being exploited by the site owners. You can find a good woman here, but it's going to cost you. A lot.

Dream Singles member since 2011
December 25, 2023

Like any dating site there are real profiles, and there are fake profiles. I have been a member since 2011 and I am still on Dream Singles looking. First of all... Yes I have been on the site and extremely long time. I even took a break from the site due to frustration for two years twice at different times. I have seen the site change in good ways and in bad ways.

I could tell you all the bad and the good, but I will keep it simple. The site is not cheap to use. In fact it can be very expensive. Some of these measures I want to believe are in the interest to protect the women and the men. Though like some policies when put into action they do not work as intended. Your letters, chat, and photos will be censored to an extent by an AI or by employees... this is to prevent personal information such as contact information or anything violating the Terms of Service being passed between you and the individual you are communicating with. The site has a system in place to exchange personal contact information... which is expensive. There are certain criteria you have to meet before you can even request personal contact information. This is something that is changed over the years. You have to spend a certain amount of money in communication with an individual you are talking with, you have to have a scheduled phone date, and then once those situations are met then you pay to request the personal information. The lady will have the choice to decline or accept. It is said, though I have never experienced it myself, that if the lady declines your request you are refunded the fee for requesting. Letters cost 10 credits to send, and you can attach a photo or a video. If you receive a letter with a video it will cost you 10 credits to see the video. Live chat is 1 credit a minute. Video chat is 2 credits a minute, but you will be able to see the individual you are talking to though they will not be able to see you. That is a drawback. If you send a photo or receive a photo in the live chat, it will cost about 8 credits to send or receive. There are also gifs or emojis that can be sent to each other in live chat that cost around 4 credits. I would like to remind you that on average a credit will run 1.75 USD. This is not always the case but this is just an average.

I have gotten the impression over the years that there are letter writing services that the ladies may employ. As I will get similar styles and similar written letters around the same time from many different ladies. I am not saying this is always the case, it is just something I have inferred from my experience. Like I have also pointed out in the very beginning I have communicated with individuals who seem very genuine, but I have also communicated with individuals who toy you along.

So I warn you now use your best judgment. On any dating website you will run into people who game the system. Some letters you receive will be sweet and kind, and some letters you receive will accuse you of being fake, a liar, and all sorts of other things. Things. To include calling you a little boy because you do not respond to their letters. Like I mentioned a few moments ago, I warn you use your best judgment. There are genuine people, and there are disingenuous people on the site. I know the site says that they validate everyone, but there is plenty of information out there and you can be scammed. Toby warned again. Your information can be used to create a scamming profile somewhere else and the people you talk information can be used to create scammed profiles other places, but understand this is not done by the site. As far as I know. The side is owned by an American based company but I do not know where the servers actually reside.

Again, like I say with any interaction with somebody over the internet, use caution, trust your gut, and be careful.

I do not feel comfortable providing my site ID as I am concerned with retribution from the site.

Tip for consumers:

Just be careful on any site you use as bait in click is out there no matter the site you are on.

Statistics show Dream Singles has scam characteristics
February 14, 2023

Dream Singles is one of the most popular international dating sites. The women on it are notoriously beautiful, but the site is exceedingly expensive and designed to encourage online communication ONLY through the site. On another review I wrote that because of the costs involved DreamSingles was worthless for the average man and at best a hit or miss for wealthy bachelors.
Subsequent data has changed my opinion. I keep records on all the women who write to me. I do this arranging it by country. I organized by data for the United States in early January and for Canada a few days later. I made an amazing discovery that suggests that many, though not all, of the profiles on DreamSingles are artificial at best.
During a two day period about ten percent of the women writing to me from the USA all of a sudden had profiles identifying them as residing in Canada and making up twenty-five percent of the women writing to me from Canada. For example
* age 30 running a jewelry business in Los Angeles was now listed as running an identical business in Toronto Canada
* age 25 an artist in Los Angeles all of a sudden became an artist in Saint John, Canada
* age 29 a manager in Los Angeles, became a manager in Montreal
* age 30 a Lawyer in San Francisco became a Lawyer in Saint John Canada.
* age 49, a business woman in Denver became a business woman in Vancouver Canada
* age 40 a Beauty Salon administrator in Jacksonville Florida became a Beauty Salon administrator in Ottawa
* age 33, a Manicurist in Miami became a manicurist in Quebec
* age 34 a dancer and freelancer in Miami became a dancer and freelancer in Victoria Canada
* age 32 a real estate expert in Miami became a real estate expert in Victoria Canada
* age 23 a car dealership administrator in Chicago became a car dealership administrator in Quebec.
* age 33 a stylist in Chicago became a stylist in Regina
* age 26 a New Jersey model became a Montreal model
* age 33 a New York beauty salon owner became a Calgary beauty salon owner
Now people do move and do take jobs with similar titles in their new location. But two things are significant.
1. All of these women made the change on the same day.
And
2. While each of these women were corresponding with me before and after the purported move not one of them mentioned said move in their correspondence
The odds that ten percent of my American correspondents would become twenty-five percent of my Canadian correspondents a few days later are substantially less than the chance that I would win the lottery.
There is something fake in DreamSingles. It appears that DreamSingles moves at least some of their profiles around to different locations to fit their business needs. All of these profiles were certified by DreamSingles as being real and truthful profiles.
I have also began comparing DreamSingles profiles with those of other dating sites serving a similar product. I have not yet completed this research but it appears that DreamSingles gives fairly broad locations while the same profiles on other sites have narrower locations.
For example * age 31, a Los Angeles real estate agent on DreamSingles was listed as a San Diego "model" on both Anastasiadate and Russianbrides. In my opinion this calls into question the validity of "certification" on at least one of those three dating sites. DreamSingles, in this case, was the odd site out.
I would assert, based on the above data that the credibility of information on DreamSingles is open to question. DreamSingles "certification" seems to certify more DreamSingles business interests than the women whose profiles it allegedly checked.

International dating site: doubtful profiles, quite expensive, privacy issues
January 28, 2023

The site is an international dating site with lots of stunning women from mainly Eastern European backgrounds though sometimes living abroad (noticed US, Spain, Venezuela,...).
Having had some bad experiences with other websites (including the big ones) where people used scams to lure me to pay per mail sites with lots of fake profiles and after some idiots tried to scam me for money (thousands of dollars) with actually ludicrous stories (though sometimes with pretty good faked documents) I have been on this site for a couple of weeks now. I used rather plain pictures. Nothing fancy. Mostly in a relaxed setting. Not showing off in any way.
I was amazed by the amount of "flirts" I got from what appeared to be beautiful young women. Very flattering, but astonishing nonetheless. It may surprise you but I don't think that I am an underrated "gift of God" to women.
The site teases you in (as most do) with some free reads, a three day free trial and a low cost entry subscription. Higher cost subscriptions have some perks with some free mails, videos and chats. One still would need to count on additional charges. If you buy any package (9.9$ to 99$ a month) you will have to pay between 7.6$ to $4 per communication each costing 10 "credits". (after an introductory offer if $7.99 for 20 credits prices range from 50 credits costing $38 to 2000 credits $800). The amount of free communications is different per package but never exceeds 100 follow-up mails (crucial to getting acquainted). Their site gives a full schedule of costs for each means of communication offered (mail, chat, video letter). Note that you have to be a (trail) member to read messages get beyond a 24 hour period you get with points for filling out your details.

That being said I decided to test the waters and replied to a message from a like. Then things got weird. I got "replies" that made no sense ( looked like replies to other people as reference was made to things I never said), the name signed was spelled differently and finally a completely different name from the one on the profile appeared. The helpdesk said that these were "errors in translation". I am not buying that. Because it is hard to translate O... as T... Anyway. Extremely strange.
This also alerted me to the fact that " translators" were at work. Not just artificial on-line translation but apparently people. That kind of annoyed me because I never consented to my messages being read and translated by others than the person they were meant for. So privacy score 0. The helpdesk claimed no disclosure was needed as it was standard on international dating sites. I beg to disagree. Anyway: if they can get a name correct I doubt the quality of the "translators" and made me think more about employees behind fake profiles.
The conversation was a bit awkward. The replies often vage, not to the point and a bit hurried. Often my first name didn't appear just the very generic "dear".
In my case I got lots of references in the replies to poverty, loneliness and problems with the video camera of the person explaining why a quick video ( that would at least confirm the person is who she is). The site by the way allows you to give gift of highly overpriced generators, iPhones and PC's. I never understood how they get these to people in countries as divers as Venezuela, China, Ukraine, Belarus, Russia,...

So my informed opinion is that there is a lot of scamming going on mainly aimed at generating traffic at a high "credits" cost with little to show for.

To be avoided.

Tip for consumers:

Do the 3 day trial to see for yourself. Make sure to copy the email to stop the subscription and your id number to do so should you want to.

A total scam
August 9, 2021

I was a member of Dream Singles for 18 months. I'm too embarrassed to tell you how many thousands of $ I spent there. 90% of the women there look like models. I'm almost 60 yrs old and thousands of these model type women 20-35 yrs old wrote to me daily. That would have been my first clue that something wasn't right. After a while that normalized in my mind. But in reality very few women that age want to be with 60 yr old men. What I came to learn is that these model looking women are a 50/50 combination of fake profiles run by the website and real women they are paying a % commission to to pretend they like them love you.

I was catfished there first by one of the fake profiles who is a semi well known Russian model. The site tries very hard to keep you from finding out the last names of their members or any contact info you could use to leave the site and communicate with each other. But I learned the Russian models name by doing a reverse image search and finding her Instagram site. After I followed her on Instagram I sent her a DM asking if she was on DS and she said no…. But that profile was still on DS as of a couple weeks ago when I finally cancelled my membership there.

After I stopped communicating with the fake Russian Model I made the other women I communicated with send me a selfie photo holding up a sign with language on it I specified so as to prove I was talking to real people. I only talked to women who passed that test after that.

There were three women I liked very much that I communicated with after that, one of whom I felt close to being in love with. In late June I discovered the advertisement on Instagram I attached. A rep for DS trying to recruit women to join by promising good % payment every month, and earnings without work. It scared me but I had confused in these three women. So I sent to these three women a photo of myself with my email address embedded in it that the websites filters did not catch. Mind you all three of these women had told me many times that they were in love with me. I asked all three women to leave the sure and communicate with me off site. I looked at this as a test. A women who was truly in love with a man would agree with this request without hesitation… especially after I told them how much I had spent on this site. Yet all three of these women would not agree to communicate with me offsite even if it meant ending our communication. I realized then that all three were being paid to pretend they were in love with me.

After I left the site I managed to find 2 of the three women on Social media (Instagram) by doing reverse image searches within 10 days even though I didn't know any of their last names. The two I found immediately blocked me on Instagram without even talking to me once. Because why communicate with the man you love for free when there is money to be made by pretending to be in love with men.

Russia and Ukraine are poor countries. Paying a woman $200-$400 a month to pretend to be in love with a man is big money for them and they have gotten thousands of women to sign up to do this.

This website gets very high scores on Sitejabber because the website itself makes up all these fake positive reviews so that it looks good. DS blocked me on both Instagram and Twitter after I put reviews of the website in their feeds with the screenshot I have attached here.

Guys do yourself a favor and don't join DS. Your chances of finding a successful romance there are extremely low. And you will spend a fortune with their pay per letter format. Every letter you write to a woman will cost you about $4. If you open a letter with a video attached from a woman…. Another $4. Chat is like $50 an hour. You can see how fast this adds up. If you agree on a meeting date and place with a woman there…. She will not show up because she doesn't really care about you. You are either taking to a woman who is pretending to like you or to a fake profile bot.

Tip for consumers:

Don’t join Dream Singles. It is an outrageously expensive scam in which you are either taking to fake profile bots or real women who are being paid a % of your spend to pretend they are in love with you.
