SilverSingles

AT first it was a nice site, they appeared to weed out potential scammers, and have met some nice ladies on this site, I would have given them four stars the first several months, but for the last 3-5 months, I've been getting 10, then 20 or 30 a day after I complained to the site (waste of effort), they deny there is a problem and say they don't know about it, check out all the other BAD reviews. The most common one I get is way too young, way OUTSIDE my desired distance and 90% of them have their emails in the their screen names and or phone numbers on their face of main photo, obvious scam techniques

I am a single professional woman. I joined silver singles for a 3 month membership hoping like most people to connect to someone else looking for a relationship. Instead, I found every scam in the book. Fortunately, a friend told me about been verified. I paid 5 dollars and was able to check into men who contacted me. I found scam after scam and men with police records and restraining orders! I had one man contact me that he was leaving the military soon. Another scam to get money from unsuspecting women! Each day I received messages from Silver Singles asking if I had met such and such yet. You never know what their membership status is and if they even can contact you back. I specifically chose areas within 100 miles from my home and get matches from all over the country. Basically this was a waste of time and a dangerous site to be on. Please check out who you are matched with before meeting anyone or giving anyone personal information. I tried to contact silver singles at the phone number provided but there is no one really answering the phones. I cancelled my membership before my first month was over. Since they won't bother to ask me why, I wrote this review to help you not waste your money.

Be careful ladies, the site if full of scam artists. Asking for phone numbers, email address. If the grammar is off, most likely they are hitting you from somewhere outside of US. RADAR UP

[Update: It appears that they are processing my refund. They have downgraded my membership to the "free" (i. E., useless) status, and they sent me an email that said they are refunding my $167. Nothing has shown up in my account yet, but it is still early.]
My mailbox became flooded with scammers doing phishing attempts in less than 24 hours of signing up and paying $167+ for a premium (6-mo) membership. They have so far been very uncooperative in responding to my requests for a refund. Avoid this "service" like the plague! I have done many other dating services in the past, and this is by far the worst, even compared to the free ones. They are based in Berlin, Germany, so good luck trying to get a refund. The scammers all have email addresses embedded within their screen names, usually phonetically disguised, but the company performs no screening to prevent this. Perhaps the scammers have just found a way to hack through their weak safety measures. They don't show up as matches, but they do show up in both the site messages and your personal email. In just three days now, I have email from dozens upon dozens of these fake members.

Use PLENTY OF FISH instead. They have have FREE MESSAGING. Yes, you can pay for more features but Messaging is free. So, you can chat and meet people without paying.

SILVER SINGLES is just an ELABORATE SCAM! You can't do anything useful as a free member.

I WASTED HOURS setting up a profile, taking their "personality tests", and THEN found out that you can't see profiles, message, chat, see photos or anything else unless you pay $20-30 per month!

A total waste of time!

Registered and completed the profile questions and added 3 pictures. My profile was quite specific on the type of relationship that I'm looking for yet I got matches from men who hadn't bothered to complete the questions. I can't understand how someone would be considered a match when there are no answers provided to the questions? I'm looking for a romantic permanent relationship and I received a "match" from a person looking to "hang out and have a good time". There really should be some attention paid by SS on what they consider a match.
This next part is nothing that SS can do anything about I'm putting it here so that it will hopefully help someone who is considering registration. From what I have gathered there are more women then men registered. Even if you take the time to write a thoughtful message to a suggested match don't be surprised if they don't reply for e.g. I wrote messages to 3 people not one responded to me... am I that bad? Nothing not even thanks for your thoughts. Sorry but why put yourself out there if you are just going to be shut down.

For my birthday I got an email from SilverSingles offering me a 50% discount. So I decided to join for an entire year. When I went to pay and wrote my voucher number and my price was reduced by half BUT I got a text IMMEDIATELY from my credit card company asking if this was a fraud, AND it listed the WHOLE amount. I have written at least six emails to their (so-called) customer service and their latest excuse is that they don't give 50% off vouchers. I am livid.

I visited the "Free Option" of Silver Singles dating site and can definitely say I was underwhelmed. I truly believe the biggest scam artist are those that own and run the site but in all honesty, I think this is true with all dating sites.

Silver Singles: The whole personality questionnaire to me is a joke. Algorithms to match people up? So long and dragged out to the point I stopped reading the questions and just kept clicking whatever answer the cursor was at and I'll bet a dollar to a dime I'm not the only one. Here's a suggestion. How about the option to answer I don't care! I mean really, when someone picked a circle and another a square they are somehow not compatible?

Speak the truth and say anything negative about the site in your profile and it is rejected. IE, Q: What is important to you? A: finishing this stupid questionnaire!

And guess what! With no picture and every written word I entered being rejected…. I have someone who is interested in me. Imagine that. Some bright sexy successful woman 10 years my junior is interested in a blank page and for this they want money?

I have tried many dating apps…. Silver Singles is BY FAR the worst. I have been on this app for a month. I get 15-20 scammers contacting me EVERY DAY. I have written to the company and got no action to stop this odious reality. The scammers put a phone number in the place of their profile name. It would be VERY EASY for Silver Singles to stop these scammers. However, if the scammers all pay Silver Singles for each of these accounts, Silver Singles would lose a lot of revenue if they stop them. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

I actually KNEW one of the ladies whose picture popped up here and she told me that she DID NOT SIGN UP to use this website and did not consent to have her picture used here.

Also the distance parameter simply doesn't work or is being totally ignored by design.

I have sent out no less than 50 "Likes" and heard back from only about 3 of them.
Save your money.
This website is fleecing the flock with NO REFUNDS.
Save your money.

Silver Singles sends inactive member profiles to fill up your mailbox. SS sends people that you have eliminated on your Q&A. Extremely disappointed in this service.

I am sad to report that I believe 100% that Silver Singles is like other dating websites, which probably are all owned by the same corporation, that tease members by sending them profiles of people who are either: (1) Not members yet and probably never will join; or (2) Are previous members who have no interest in rejoining.

I've been on this site for over a month. I have received 10 matches and only one responded. There is no realistic chance of meeting anyone on this site. Save Your Money, I wish I had.

The website is down 80% of the time. 90% or more of the contacts are spam and many are not reported by the SS. The messages are sent when SS wants and they avoid contact between the few people who finally sympathize. They use the profiles to publish them at a distance and in the age group that they want or need movement or affiliations. COMPLETE SPAM FOR DATING.

So I write I am into arts, culture and want 57-69 and they keep sending matches for much older and not even on my wave length... total disaster and waste of time.
