I accessed their site and filled out the forms, but I did not join. That initiated a constant stream of emails from them. I tried numerous times to advise them to STOP SENDING ME EMAILS. That I didn't want to receive any emails from them and to delete my info. They have an option stating, "If you do not want to receive any emails, click here." However when you do it automatically takes you to another page where that option doesn't exist. In other words, it is impossible to get them to stop sending you harassment emails. This company is HORRIBLE. Please don't do what I did and give them your email info. They won't stop their harassing emails.

I signed up, paid my money and couldn't not log into the site. Instructions said if I couldn't log in they would send me a link, they never did. I tried two or three times never got a link. I requested a refund 24hrs later. First no response then when I did get a response they said they couldn't find my account. When I gave them my info again they said it was too late to give me a refund even though they know I have never logged into their site once. Just throw your money in the trash it's easier that way.

Majorly DISAPPOINTED in Silver Singles, my experience, MORE deceitful/fake profiles THAN real ones! PLEASE! SS, you are contributing to the bad reputation of the online dating experience. When we know better, we have the opportunity to do better... I know I speak for so many others out there who are serious about dating, a much better vetting process for membership would be a great start! There is at least one new online dating site out there right now doing just that--from what I've read so far, members can only use the site's camera for photos and the site does an eight point check to verify identities... we shall see!

I have one month left on my SS membership, which I do not want due to all the "fake" profiles, especially three (3) in just the last week. Of course, I was told I cannot get a refund for the last month. What a world we live in!

Foolishly, I didn't read reviews before joining. I paid for 6 months (nonrefundible) but quit before one month usage. Site is so poor that i don't want to use it even though I've already paid for it.
I get the sense that the system malfunctioned and no one ever fixed it. I would get, for example, a messge in my emails that that "Karen sent you a message" and then when I click I can't find a message from Karen.
I have proof of purchase but dont know how to attach. If you give me your email address I will email it to you. Jim

Not worth the money
February 7, 2024

Most of the gentleman who was my match lived over 100 miles away I had set the mileage or distance and it's way over the distance that I had said I'd be willing to go a lot of scammers so I don't even get on it anymore it's not worth my time or effort

Disappearing messages
September 30, 2021

Everytime I was informed that someone messaged me, there was nothing there when I clicked on the link. Everytime. Customer service told me that the reason for this was that thjavascript: void(0)e sender had deleted his profile. Is there such an epidemic of ambivalence?

Horrible!
January 28, 2022

I signed up my father for single silvers and I paid for it. The three month subscription. He told me all he has gotten is responses from bots and spammers with fake profile pix. He has shown me these profiles. When I paid for the subscription I realized that there's no guarantee that he will meet someone. However, I find it very upsetting that there are so many fake people/bots and spammers on your site. Okay Cupid and eharmony all take precautions against these sorts of things and behaviors. I would expect when I shell out $$$$ like that, you would too! I am very upset and I am not going to continue the subscription and I would like someone to contact me to discuss the issue. There is almost no one to contact to discuss this with and I've yet to locate any sort of customer service!

I signed up, but cancelled 2 days later when I realized it's not free as advertised. The next day after cancelling, I received 4 scam phone calls supposedly from Social Security saying my account was cancelled due to suspicious activity. The next day after that I started getting a lot of spam about dating and senior issues. They obviously sell your info and do not keep it private as advertised on their website. They are committing FALSE ADVERTISING as well as other unscrupulous activities!

DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS SITE. My account was hacked from within. Someone sent messages to all my matches that was not from me. I contacted Customer Care and they confirmed that a third party hacked my account but did not take responsibility. They said they have a secure site but it is not. How do I know? One day, a match is from one city and the next day that same match is from another city. The hacker took my NC location and changed it to Ohio. Please stay away from this site. The company is corrupt.

I uploaded photos which remained for 4 weeks and the all of a sudden they were gone except for one and they were just facial photos. No note or message as to why.
The matches that they make are not the matches that i would have chosen. You cannot peruse the site and they generate the matches. Not a good system
Messages received are difficult to answer as the site seems to have a glinch or sort
The worst is you must sign up for a minimum of 6 months which cost me $179. NOT WORTH IT!

Scammers
May 10, 2021

Took up a 6 month subscription after reading all the BS reviews. It has to be one of the worst sites for Australians - seriously. You cannot do a search - they simply feed you 20 supposed prospects each day at 3.44am (every day) obviously just a simple delivery off their data base. So all you can do is look and the prospects are from all over (eg 3500klms away)- just ridiculous! Then on their site they say if you wish to cancel your subscription simply go to your account and follow the prompts to cancel AND YOU WILL STILL BE A PREMIUM MEMBER until the original subscription expiry date. Well guess what, when you actually go to do it that is not the case at all. They then say cancellation removes everything immediately and thats it. This mob really need referring to Australian Fair Trading (which I intend to do) because they are nothing short of con artists. They simply stink.

I suggest never using any dating site, they are all scammers not to mention the incredibly bad-looking dumb people lurking on them. Better to be single and confident and happy. Who needs a loser?

The site is a plethora of scammers. There seems to be no regulation/criteria. Multiple "blank" photos. Strongly suggest: don't go there and if you do, proceed with extreme caution.

The cost of this site is very high compared to others, there is a rate of at least 35% of matches with no photos, no profiles and no way to determine if you'd like to interact with them. The screen freezes so you cannot edit your profile, it's difficult to login and logout, and these is NO REPONSE to requests for assistance. Save your money.

Horrible in every possible way.
December 10, 2021

Their "algorithm" system = Dartboard and bad thrower.
No "search" feature, you are at their mercy.
More scammers on the site than actual people.
Customer service makes every issue the user's fault.

I only signed up for one month. Stated tha I needed to cancel by June 11th. I cancelled May 20th because I didn't like the site. Then I received an email stating that my membership would end 12/11/2020. I called to state I only want one month. I spoke to someone from India. He stated that they are the only ones who could cancel the membership. I stated that this was fraudulent and I will report them to the better business and he stated go a head and hung up in my face. Do not I repeat, do not join this site.

Lots to complain about! The site takes your money and that's the end! You will never get to talk to a human about your issues! You can send an email and that, also, will go without a response nor will anything be done about your request! You are required to fill out the importance of various factors to enhance getting matches with their database.The preferences rate how important the criteria is to you. Example: You're asked geographic distance where to find your match. I started with 100 miles and when those choices were obviously out of the question because of travel time, gas, etc, I changed the max distance to 50 miles, very important. To date, many of my supposed matches are 100 or more miles away! Every day I am being matched with selections which have absolutely no indicators in their profiles for liking the same or similar things! Two thirds of the "matches" have NO Photos! And, probably the worst fault of this site? It seems to be loaded with scam artists. Of three different contacts, all three were not who they claimed to be! Two of them were "falling in love" with me. One of them after a phone call, which lasted less than 10 minutes, and the other through 5 very short emails! The third, this morning, lives (?) 144 miles from me AND the second message from him said he's in Kuwait, by himself trying to start his company! He's a 70 year old man, mind you!
Don't waste your money, ladies and gentlemen. Run as fast as you can away from this hole in the internet where you throw your money!

I have online dated plenty over the years, and have had wonderful experices. Silver Singles has been a horrible experience. I have been on less than 2 weeks and the amount of fake accounts that reach out is unreal. I would not be able to trust one now if it was real. The one I actually thought was real I got a message saying he is being investigated. If you value anything about yourself stay away feom this site. There is risk with online dating no matter what, but this site was unreal! I wasted a 6 month membership because there was no way I would give my phone # to anyone on it after I realized how bad it was. It dows nit always show the true colors in the first 3 days. I put a one because you have to click it for review but I give it a 0... I do not leave bad reviews, I usually feel if you have nothing good to say, then say nothing at all. This experience warrented talking about.

Nothing but scams
September 23, 2022

I should have looked into reviews before signing up for Silver Singles. You have to pay 6 months ahead so they have you. Every time I got a "match" it turned out to be a scam. I am successful and have been told attractive so this is not about me - but the site. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SITE.
