This site is full of scammers and fake profiles. I get emails from their security team daily saying they are investigating xxx profile. They need to do better screening when profiles are created. For the cost of this site, you would think they can do better

Waste of money!
October 24, 2020

They do not match you with compatible people they simply look at the age range. What's worse is I had at least five scammers contact me and want to correspond outside of the site. Elite then warned me these people are not who they say they are. Lastly, they are extremely difficult to contact. I had a heck of a time cancelling my membership.

I opened a free account with elite singles, that promise free messaging, to check the site before subscribing.
All my introduced texts (a hundred words allowed only) were rejected. On the same page appeared a button for "assessment" to write a good text for only 99$.
Plus, with a free account, all the pictures are blurred, making it impossible to use the site.

Total Scam - Do Not Use!
October 26, 2020

I honestly came to the conclusion that 90% of all of their profiles were fake, even the ones of real people I see on other dating sites. I think they steal pics and info of real people from other sites to post these fake profiles. What few contacts I had, nearly all were scammers. This is absolutely the biggest waste of money I've ever experienced.

The Worse...
July 10, 2020

Not only is it an expensive site, but it does not send you appropriate matches. I have a Master's Degree and I mostly received High School Graduates for matches. You can't browse anyone, you just wait for them to send you a couple of inappropriate matches. Do yourself a big favor and save your money.

Rip Off!
September 14, 2018

They used to have the option to buy once month. They now force you into buying a 3 month membership. Stating that they reduce the 3 month option price so people have more money to spend on dates. Really? This is forcing you to buy more than you want!
They also force you into picking a religion, When I ask about an Atheist option. They informed me I would have better luck if I chose Agnostic.

Total rip off!

This site based in Germany Say that they have more educated members. I didn't think so they also sent me matches that I already selected or looked at or deleted. Does not have enough Members so very slim selection. I do not find it a good site.

I specifically set height, religious preference, and education level in my search criteria. What does this clunker site do? Sends "daily match proposals" of men with limited education, who are shorter than I, and who list god in every description. I give up. This site is just awful. A waste of money and time.

Elite Singles is Horrible
September 5, 2020

I signed up- and met one person, who turned out to not be a match. They had very few people in my area and even fewer people of color. I was not impressed. Many of the folks on the site are- I hate to say it- but they are ugly. After the second day- I got zero matches. ANd it was very hard to stop the auto-renew. I had to call my credit card company and tell them not to pay. I even tried to call elite singles- and could not reach anyone. They are horrible. Stay awat,

Total Liars
September 1, 2021

You can never reach them. You can't report a sleazebag on their site, and that is ALL you will encounter. Their website states: "go here to report someone," but will not route you. "Fill out this form" to complain, and no form pops up. I reported them to the FBI! They hook scammers up with victims and you pay $200 to be lied to non-stop. What a nightmare.

Waste of money
July 22, 2019

Waste of money! They will not let you purchase monthly for a reasonable price and if you have sign up for 3 months, same cost as the 1 month option, and get auto renewed they will not return your money if you cancel. Worst site ever! Don't waste your time or money.

My matches were ridiculous, they totally ignored my search criteria. The women aren't elite - absolutely! I met no woman who would combine beauty and intelligence. This is NOT what I call "elite". I was hoping to find a good-looking local woman, but Elitesingles wasn't helpful at all. Moreover, they added bogus unauthorized charges. Make sure you don't use your main credit card on Elitesingles - otherwise they will keep charging you for auto-renewal, and it's a pain to stop them.

Not a good site
April 4, 2023

Paid for a 6 month memebership thinking it would be a good site to meet someone. Most profiles don't have pictures and they match me with people from out of state. I tried contacting them. Couldn't get a refund but they won't charge me to continue my membership after it expires. Not worth that much money. Or actually any money. There's better free sites

Elite has very few local members so it sends me old and remote matches__-+---__-+---__-+---. Elite's services are of the lowest quality. The App is poorly designed. I cannot delete those unwanted faces on my message list. Dating and searching on this website is not pleasure but suffering. People are not members without photos, but Elite will send them to you. If you contact them then they might want to read your invitation, and pay too high membership fee. In fact the website doesn't have enough members to run as a dating site.

The worst Dating Site Ever! Don't waste your hard earned cash on this one unless you like being scammed! You will never meet anyone point finale! Profiles are made up to measure. Warning to ladies and gents, you have NO control on which profile to read, visit and analyse. All your site activity is control by Elite Stupid beware! Better off any other non paying site.

Avoid these people at all costs! They are borderline scamming people. They will auto renew your subscription without letting you know. When you tell them they say tough luck. They even go to the extent of sending you harassment emails. Cowboys!

From CA - I cancelled the day after renewal by auto payment. I disputed the cc charge after the company refused to issue a credit. Site was a disappointment and I never used for last 5 months. I am now receiving threatening collection and legal emails. Buyer Beware of their ethics and questionable tactics. There are no credits or proration based on date cancelled. The most recent threatening email will go to consumer protection agencies and BBB.

Once they know your credit card details, they keep charging you even after you cancel. Trust me, you will want to cancel, since it's total scam. Elitesingles wesite doesn't belong to dating services that work for real. Actually, it's the opposite of them. Most of the suggested matches are fake. You get a few replies every now and then but they are short and written by bots. Boilerplate! Don't forget that you have to give them 14 days notice in order to cancel your subscription. Otherwise you will be charged again.

Complete ripoff
April 20, 2019

I signed up and went through and incredibly long process only to get to the end and find I couldn't finish the process due to a glitch in the software. It wouldn't accept my home address. There is absolutely no customer support available. I got charged $172 for an account that doesn't function. Stay far away from these thieves

Unfortunately I didn't look close enough before I bought into a 3 month premium subscription. What I joke... a really bad joke, of a dating site.
1st of all you have to pay through a 3rd party, pay pal... right there you're screwed. I tried to cancel my subscription in less than 24 hours.
3rd party... good luck with that,
My reason it's absolutely ridiculous. You can't do anything beyond give what they taught sad you most of it gentleman aren't even in my the sanity that I would consider and even if they are not a one of them is attractive to me in anyway. Who wants to start the new years with regrets while it doesn't matter what time of the year don't subscribe you will be so disappointed. If there was a rating beliw ZERO, I'd give them that.
After 39 minutes on hold... And because I can't hold with in they 72 hour., I was issued a full refund.
