I went on Silver Singles with very little hope of meeting the real deal. For the first time on a site
I was meeting men within 25 miles of my location. I had a few dates and they were nice but the men were not for me. Don't get me wrong. They were just not for me. I am 61 and had not thought of dating much older but God had a plan and now my 66 year old fiancé' and I will be living our happily ever after in LA. Silver Singles is no different than any other site. There are good people out there and I found one on Silver Singles. Do your homework and be smart. Do not rush the process.
I purchased a 3 mos subscription just to try it out. I cancelled the subscription only to find out it renewed for 6 mos, 4 mos later after I cancelled. When I voiced my complaint I was told I was not able to get a refund. Supposedly you have to cancel 3 days after your first initial subscription. It's a fraud and scammer. DO NOT SUBSCRIBE. False advertising. They tell you getting a refund is easy. It's not!
I thought I'd test the site and sign up for the minimum at a modest cost of $13.00. I then checked my credit card the next day and it was billed for $83. I tried to contact the various emails to request a refund and got into a customer service loop which was a series of emails. In summary, these thieves kept my money with the following message: "Regrettably, we will not be able to refund your subscription fee. The right to a refund expires after 3 days of the initial purchase of your Premium membership. " Never purchased a premium membership, never accessed the site, but couldn't get the issue resolved. Scammers, scammers, stay away from these people. If there was an option to give them less than one star I would.
When it comes to dating and relationships you expect a website to have a certain amount of care for its customers; after all aren't they there to help you find friendship and love? Matches can be hundreds of miles away (in my case across the Irish Sea). My main gripe is the auto-renewal, which it will do after the initial subscription and you no longer have the right of withdrawal as it expires after the 14 day initial subscription. I had no email outlying the terms of the contract and I thought I'd set it up to NOT auto renew yet it did. So, read the Terms of the Contract carefully, make sure you check at least 7 days before that it will not auto renew and take snapshots of all your emails with regard to your subscription. The fact that they have clauses to stop you cancelling easily should in itself sound alarm bells. "They're after your money love," as we Yorkshire folk would say.
They start by asking you about yourself and then what you want in a mate. They then build a profile and start sending you whatever and whoever they want. They don't follow your requests for only to receive people within your area, non smoker and people with your personality. They will not refund your money when you complain.
I was sent people that live on a complete different coast than I do. I live in Florida and I received profiles for people in Minnesota. They send me profiles of people that smoke. It's ridiculous. What a scam! Don't ever use this service. You would be better picking up men on a street corner.
I'm so sorry that I paid for six months without checking the site out. I hate how it works and worst of all I got three of the same messages but different names telling me to go to emails of three other guys. Very shady I think that I'll check out a different site. Just saying
After joining and you cancel auto renewal for silver singles who then ignores your preferences and turn auto renewal on again and again. Getting any kind of refund for their unauthorized billing is horribly time consuming and frustrating. This is a terrible company and you should never do business with them.
This site has a lot of scammers and not enough male members. It's very frustrating to pay the cost for this site and then realize what minimal membership there is. I just joined the site about 1 month ago and wish I had read the reviews on this site before joining.
I paid up for 6 months and for almost the entire period the website failed to recognize my email address and password, hence denying me access to the service that I had paid for. Silver Singles are extremely difficult to contact if you can't login to the website. Then they had the hide to send me an email suggesting that I upgrade to a premium package to receive an even better experience!
Do your research and stay away from Silver Singles!
The biggest con, thieving rip off ever that even when you think you have closed your account and cancelled it, they dip into your bank account and take huge sums of money and when you complain and demand a refund they quote BS contract clauses. Do not give these thieves your bank details
First you will get nothing but a mix of phony contacts, contacts from hundreds or even thousands of miles away. And don't forget all the contacts who don't provide photos, unless you want a pig in the poke. Cost-high-really just a money drain for the person who signs up. Got problems and complain and you just get ignored. The site layout is not at all conductive to the transfer of info from one person to another. There is no search capability which is really the key to the whole thing. You have no control over what individuals are referred to you. Don't waste your money
This site is packed with scammers. They need to address this issue. Also the matching seems ridiculous. I'm not sure how they do it but it is not a good formula as way too many matches with people that have zero commonality is the norm.
I signed up for Silver Sinlges for 6 months. I called customer services. They said that you could get a refund if no service provided. So I gave it a try. People asking for money. Pictures looked fake. Some profiles there were no photos with robot generated responses. I was only on the site 3 weeks. Seems like the people working for Silver Singles are creating all the fake accounts themselves. They are playing games talking to the customers themselves just to take your money. When I went to try to cancel the subscription after 3 weeks they said you can't get a refund. I tried to get a refund from my Amex card. Amex said there is no number to reach out to them. Silver Singles does this to so many people. There should be an investigation on this company. They are not a legitimate business. National scammers.
I was sincere and heartbroken when I signed up for SilverSingles. My husband had died a year ago and I was lonely. I really was scammed. It is ridiculous how they feature nice looking and educated people they cut out of a magazine. There is NO WAY to contact the principals. I spoke with some nice desperate, sad men who did not deserve to be tricked.
Do NOT sign on to SilverSingles.
Since joining all I get are obvious bogus contacts. Waste of money. I am requesting a refund from them but of course, I am getting very little assistance.
You people should be ashamed of yourself for taking advantage of people in need.
This is the most unsecure site I have participated in. Numerous fake profiles fishing for information, Everything you put on your profile must go through a review before it appears, after over a month of my profile information not being reviewed I had to message them. I also want to note that some of the profile information will be edited by Silver Singles using words I never said. Majority of the so called matches have no profile photos and limited information. I have also found it difficult to report fake profiles. DO NOT SIGN UP. I have found Match.com to a more user friendly site. I will try attach a screen shot of a typical fishing message, I have received many of nearly identical messages.
Several months of my life wasted in a site that I just found out is not even from the United States, was this an scam?
Why is so impossible to get a hold of a human being in that organization? Are they legitimate? I deserve an explanation, they have my email address and my telephone number, at least send me an email and explain who you are and why you do not have human beings answering questions and/or calling the clients? I cancelled this subscription several months ago and they continued charging my credit card, anybody knows what is going on with this website?
I am trying to send you an email and it doesn't allow me to send it, I want you to know I am upset with your services.
I would never go back to silver singles. I was taken for 40,000 by a man i thought was someone i could connect with after almost 2 years i am struggling to get ahead and and at a point of losing everything. Because of this i will never go onto a dating sight again. Please be careful
I live in Central Arkansas. I was overwhelmed with "matches" that live in Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Kentucky, even California. That was after my preference of 100 miles. I complained and was told to make my preferences stricter. I did. 50 miles and rigid age bracket, race, religious preference, etc. I haven't received a match since, it's been a week.
I tried this site and in one month I had someone try to get me to send them money for a "hospital stay" in a foreign country and two who said their friend was interested but too shy to contact, but I should email or text them. Nothing but scammers and losers. This site needs to be shut down.
Answer: You do not want to sign up to this site for even a minute. They are scammers through and through. They will have no matches for you but will clear your bank account. Please don't join.
Answer: File disputes with your CC company and/or PayPal I am fighting for a refund also report them to anyone that matters we have to get the word out
Answer: YOU BEEN SCAMMED! I PAID ABOUT THE SAME, BUT I WAS ABLE TO SIGN ON AND USE IT. BELIEVE ME, YOU'RE BETTER OFF AS IT'S FULL OF SCAMMERS, MEN POSING AS WOMEN AND WOMEN POSING AS MEN TO GET YOUR $$$. I HAVE 457 "MATCHES" ACCORDING TO THEM. 457? BS
