Scam
April 17, 2021

Bots, scams, customer service barely replies and when they do they scam you, auto renew magically turns itself on just in time for renewal each month even when you turn it off. Pretty sure every account is fake or is a scam. Don't give these bastards a dime of your money.

Scam of a site
October 18, 2021

I work late nights and saw an add for this site. I signed up and paid for the 1 Month membership. After a few days I noticed that there isn't sign of any life on here. So thinking that "okay I paid for just one month that would be the end" no i was charged for another month and when I emailed to say I wanted a refund, I was told that I did not hit the auto renewal button. I'm pissed and now theirs nothing I can do about it.

I do not have as many hands as is necessary to flip this site the number of birds it deserves. While I cannot be 100% positive, I'm convinced that I interacted exclusively with fake profiles, who would "send a flirt" back to me in order for me to pull the trigger on a paid subscription. After I had subscribed I would never hear from them again, until my subscription had ended and they would send another flirt. For whatever reason, I said "what the heck" and renewed it, only for more radio silence. And THEN this site's ridiculous autorenewal, which I repeatedly cancelled, decided NOT to stay cancelled and renewed me for yet another month of attempted emotional swindling. Now I'm out, out for good, out forever. Ciao! :)

This site is chock full of fake profiles/bots. I could tell the responses were automated because they didn't really respond to what I was saying but rather taking words I've said and crudely inserting them in some script. One hilarious example is me introducing myself and telling them my name and the reply mentioned me by name but my name was in all caps each time it mentioned my name.

Then those messages just mysteriously disappeared the next day as if they didn't exist. Maybe they realized the whole thing glitched out. I know people love calling dating sites "scams" but this one is truly a big scam.

Scam.
April 22, 2022

The site uses fake profiles to induce you into buying a subscription. Lots of flirts until you actually pay for a month, and then all of those flirters ignore you.

Another red flag on this site: Mastercard no longer accepts payments from gk2gk. I guess Mastercard had to refund one too many so-called "automatic payments."

I disable my renew auto subscription on this site a few days before the renew comes (Jan 2nd, 2020), after realizing all the negativity feedback people are talking about. But just recently, that site auto renew themselves after I disable it back in December 25 (2019). I tried to contact them via phone number that was given to my bank, and it automatically goes to voice mail. Now I'm doing my best to fight this with my bank about this.

I wish I can give this site negative star rating, but looks like site jabber is going to limit me at one.

Absolute scam, same people for the 3 months I signed up. A month later I disabled auto renew, even got the confirmation email. Surprise this morning, $80 gone from Paypal.
No way to contact them for support. My fault for not googling them first. I could have saved $80. I think once I get that back I will contact Paypal and try to get the original $80 back. F this company ripping people off.

Rip off
July 29, 2020

So I decided to pay for the trial as I have tried other dating sites and though why not. So I spent some time and tried it out with no luck as it's just the same as every other site but draws you in by calling it geek and yet has a horrible site. So I canceled the subscription but then get billed for recently for it at full price. The customer service basically told me to go F#ck myself since I don't have records of the cancelation email. Most companies understand that sometimes these emails get lost or in my experience never get sent. So this is why they get 1 star. Bad site, bad customer service and was not what I expected at all from a site stating geek in the name.

Don't do it! Run
October 10, 2021

No one responds to your messages. When you cancel and it's coming time for subscription renewal, someone magically sends you a flirt or favorites you. It's a scam to intise you to pay for the ability to send and receive messages... no one ever responds to messages.

I was not pleased with their service, when contacting them to cancel it took over a week and me contacting them 3 times to request cancel and account deletion. Nearly 2 months later after already having email confirmation that my account was deleted they charge me 80usd for a service i had explicitly ended and are denying any refunds even thouhg i had contacted them the day they decided to charge me again and had not used their service in nearly 2 full months. I have gone through paypal to try and get the money back they charged/stole from me but Geek2geek have not returned contact to paypal investigation... geek2geek is shameful scam company.

All bad business and false charges aside the service they provide is far from good or on par with other dating sites. Even me being in big city toronto i noticed they were presenting unused 3 year old profiles as recent as their site has such little activity

Company rips people off
September 22, 2020

So I figured I'd try out geek2geek since I belong to 2 other dating sites and why not, right? Well I guessed wrong. I tried the trial period and canceled well before the trial ended. Once the time was up I was suddenly charged for another month. I tried to contact customer support but they basically told me to go F myself. With this i am forced to write out this review and file a complaint with the BBB. Don't use the service.

Waste of money
December 13, 2019

This site had the same 7 profiles for well over a month, had no support or c9ntact option and was thouroughly a waste of time and effort and money. Do yourself a favor and don't subscribe, this is textbook fraud.

Total Scam!
November 21, 2019

This website gets you to sign up after sending flirts to fake female profiles.
As a gold member you are able to send and receive messages from members who are not signed up paying members.

After multiple emails to geek2geek's customer service they conveyed to me they were having technical issue's. For 3 weeks!
My messages went no where and just today I received my only reply from a member who says she is no longer interested... she flirted with me not more then a week ago.

This smacks of manipulation on the part of geek2geeks end. These profiles are fake and the flirting system is managed by bots.

DO NOT EVEN SIGN UP WITH THIS SITE
THEY ARE TRASH!

I got conned into paying what I thought would be a one-time payment, the "introductory discount." Thankfully I only paid for a month. They ended up putting me on a subscription, which you can't cancel through the website (they direct you to cancel it through whatever means you used to pay for it, in my case PayPal), at full price. I decided to buy the subscription after receiving "flirts," a way to show interest without messaging, since you have to pay for that. I paid for the "Gold" membership, since that lets "Free" members send you messages without having to pay for it themselves. One week in, no messages, despite casting my net over 1,000 miles, just to see if I'd get a response. Instead, I got another "flirt," from someone I'd already messaged, who should have been able to message me back freely.
All flirts I got said the same thing: "Yes. I am interested, send me a message."
Have instructed PayPal to discontinue automatic payments for this company, but also sent an email requesting that future payments to the company be denied, just in case they try to say I paid for more of their "services," especially after seeing the torrents of negative reviews here.
Hopefully that's the end of it; we'll see. Maybe I can update later.

Worst site tried
June 15, 2016

Biggest negative is this thing they call 'mingle'. It constantly asks you about people that are 1,000+ miles away.

Also asks if you'll date someone if you like their photo and provides no way to view the profile unless you say 'YES'.

Then like all sites it uses bots to tempt you into paying memberships. Profiles created that send a message. Can't read them without a membership. Then profile is deleted.

Avoid at all cost. Shady every way. I could have sworn I had deleted my dating account months ago. Was getting e-mails on my Gold Membership ending with no comments about being charged again. Checked my bank account today and I'm now out $100 dollars. Contacted Customer Service and they absolutely didn't care. Arguing that it's all stated in the billing agreements. Worse business practice ever, and horrible dating spam on top of it. I was constantly getting winks and pasted messages from early 20s aged asians from china that all read the same as, just had moved to america. Reason why I'll never use it again.

0 from 10 service.
June 26, 2017

I've created an account on Gk2gk just today and I've been blocked literally in half an hour without any notice. I tried to find out at their customer service why I've been blocked (I didn't even manage to contact anyone, just filled my profile in a bit. Their reply was just "brilliant"! "Hi there (note, they don't even address to me with my name), It has come to our attention that this profile is being used in an inappropriate manner consistent with other illegitimate accounts on our site. After some investigation we have decided to delete your profile information from our database." I am non-US resident, Ukrainian citizen, so by default they consider *everyone* non-US a scammer. I never posted anything inappropriate, usual selfies, a bit of answers. Support wasn't helpful at all, not even trying to be polite or understanding.

Looking at all the bad reviews below, I'm not surprised. It seems Gk2Gk.com has gone completely dead. The site loads very slowly, the last 'activity' appears to be 22 days ago or so. And no, I did NOT get a paid membership; mainly because the site keeps giving me error messages every time I attempt to upload a profile pic, with no response from their customer service. It appears that they don't even have enough geeks here to maintain their website, let alone get dates.

Not worth it.
November 27, 2016

I decided to go the annual subscription because I kept getting notifications, but couldn't see anyone whom actually liked my profile. It cost something like $140, which at the time, I thought was seemingly reasonable. When I started to look at the notifications, I found out that the notifications looked promising, but were in fact spam-bots. Three months later I could not access the website. Waste of time and money that I'll never see again. Based on the other comments on this, I very much doubt I'll get a pro-rated amount returned for a busted website that used underhanded tactics to lure you in.

I thought it would be good to meeting people who have the same interest as me but there is nothing but bots of fake profiles wanting you to pay and subscribe. One you do get someone, they are fake and trying to get you credit card information.
