Scam
January 28, 2024

This site is full of fake profiles. I have received over 10 messages from silver singles that profiles contacted me were not verified. My preferences I put in are ignored and I receive messages from all over the country. I tried contacting customer service but have not heard back. I tried to address it on my profile page but it was rejected. This was what I posted

"Interesting site. I've had no less than a dozen likes where I've been notified that the profiles could not be verified. So I'll make it easier so I can hopefully stop getting scams. I'm looking to meet someone in the west palm beach area, preferably within 30 miles. I'm not interested in using WhatsApp or any other web based platform. I'm more traditional and will either use this site to communicate or when you're ready, text or talk." Again, the rejected it. In my opinion, waste of time and money

Their refund policy is a rip off. Get ready to jump through fire if you want to cancel and stop them from taking your money each month without your consent and authorization. Obviously the reason why so many people want to leave is because this site is inefficient, useless and full of fake accounts. SilverSingles didn't work out for me and many other people according to the reviews. I suspect they actually don't aim at providing any dating services. They are focused on overcharging you and keeping you on automatic renewals until you notice it and start struggling to stop them from doing this. They rake in huge profits and fraudulently make money be cheating people.

A dead site
January 1, 2022

I really wonder if there are any live bodies behind the portraits posted on this site. Few ever respond, although I've gotten a number of the scam emails trying to elicit a private email address and/or phone number. There is simply very little interaction with the "players," which leads me to believe that members are simply cruising. Try Senior Match instead.

Waste of money
April 18, 2021

I signed up for the lowest paying option and looks like wasted my money. The matches have little in common with me and many are way outside my age preferences (10 or more years older), the ones that are seem to be romance scams (had 2 in my first month). Most guys start a conversation then you never hear from them again. Or you sent a smile (their form of like) and you are lucky if one responds to it. No different than the free sites except you waste a lot of money.

I think its not real
January 26, 2020

Okay so I decided to bite the bullet and pay for a dating site. Grant it I didn't do much research. I heard about Silversingles on a television ad. So I signed up. I've been on about a month now and even though I've written guys they have never replied. Even when it says they are active. So I'm thinking its just a fake app that took my money and now they are laughing at me. I've only had one person say they are not interested and have received a couple of smiles. But when I replied... nothing. So hopefully my comments will save someone $150. Don't sign up.

NEEDLE IN THE HAYSTACK
December 24, 2022

I began communicating with a beautiful lady on this site and we have been on 5 dates so far. I am more than happy with my results. I won't deny I had to wade through many scammers that I'm sure infect other dating sites as well. Silver Singles does alert you when they suspect a problem with someone who has contacted you is not legit. After awhile you can ID these scammers on your own.

Match!
July 22, 2023

I went in with very low expectations. This was my first dating site. By the third contact via email, I had met an interesting man. He was very dubious as to my profile truthfulness. Never thought to lie. We talked regularly for several weeks. By the time we met in person, we were exclusive. Silver singles worked for us. 4 years+ together. Would have reviewed sooner but couldnt find this site.
But--be aware there are some fakes and scammers out there.

Buggy slow
October 15, 2022

Yes a lot of scammers but all dating sites have that. I have met some nice women there who I still keep in contact with. My complaint is the site is slow and buggy. One contact said there are characters in my messages that I did not add. Making it hard to read. Also the site is sometimes confusing in that it is hare to know who reviewed your profile, or if you reviewed their profile.

Silver Singles is a rip off
March 12, 2024

I signed up for a one month subscription of 79.00 after about 10 days I could no longer access my account. After about 20 email to customer support I did get a reply they told me of the information and verified proof that I paid. Pain in the $#*! but I did and have since sent additional information about another 20 emails with no reply. While I was on the site there are many more fake profiles then real ones. I suggest to future people looking at this site stay away do not give them your money cuz once you do you will never hear back from them if you have questions.
I suggest their management team do a better job. I will never ever use SS again and I suggest no one should.

Scam Central!
April 17, 2022

I've been on several online dating sites and Silver Singles is by far the most rampant with scammers. It's a dangerous site. It's very apparent these scammers are hacking legit profiles and they'll do it for yours!

Threats
August 25, 2021

I was with Silver Singles from March until August. I didn't think very highly of their site as I asked for a 50 mile radius for suggested partners, yet I was getting results from over 400 miles away. Deleted my account but now they are threatening me with legal action because I didn't give them proper notice I was leaving. Whatever you do, do not join this site, it is a nightmare to leave.

I have paid for 6 month premium package. Very disappointed, have encountered fake profiles and scammers several times. So thankful I have a keen sense of those who set out to try to get you to leave site so they can trick you into sending money.
When you identify profile as abuse, you have no way of commenting. When you reach out to support center for help response is slow, poor, or non existent. I would not waste my time or money.
I cannot wait until my subscription ends..

I signed up for and paid for the 6 month plan but chickened out after less than 24 hours. They refunded me without a problem. They have a 3 day trial period where you can get a refund. I only cancelled because im too shy! I'm so happy they were courteous. I recommend them. I will also use their site again if i ever get the courage.

I have experienced great difficulty with receiving matches based on my preferences. When I first contacted Silver Singles about this, they said my preferences were too "strict". I changed several of my preferences but not "distance" which I have set at 50 miles. I continued to receive matches from 100 miles to matches from other states that are over 150 miles away. Customer Service tells me my matches have indeed met my preferences. Matches that do show up within my 50 mile preference are "under review", that means they cannot see or reply to messages. Silver Singles uses this to get you to try and contact these matches so they can send an E mail to this "free member" saying "look, you have a message, sign up now to read it". What a lousy business model.

Do not waste your money
October 19, 2022

This site has no verification process and is loaded with fake accounts. I have tried other dating sites that have some issues with fake accounts but Silver Singles was my worst experience. You can tell the fake accounts by the single picture that looks like a model and the content is scripted. I kept seeing several accounts with the exact same intro. "I'm an educated man so I'd like to date someone who is educated. I like to paint in my free time." Awful service. Try any other site if you're seriously searching.

It's site has bee awful from day one. First of all it keeps blocking my profile information and there's nothing wrong with it I don't understand why my height has been blocked why things I put on here being blocked. I pay for a whole year subscription and nothing happens on the site. Now they want me to pay more money. Save your time go somewhere else and do not sign up for this site. It's a joke

Very awkard site!~
February 1, 2023

I get emails about someone and after I click on view profile, that someone is nowhere to be found. Instead, it looks like I get everybody that's on the site except for the one that is referenced in the email...I prepaid for 6 six months.bad choice on my part, but hey "live and learn"...One of the worse sites ever...I do not recommend. I won't even mention a scammer I ran into in this review. Needless to say, I would be an idiot to renew my membership.

I've been on this site for a couple of months now and have received several email notifications saying I've been contacted by a scammer. Also I receive a lot of form messages from scammers and men trying to take advantage. On the rare occurrence I've actually talked with someone, their profile magically gets taken down. Why? Because they were a scammer. If I send someone a smile all the scammers seems to know about it and I suddenly get flooded with smiles and messages from fake people. Don't bother with this site, it is a huge waste of money.

Scammer Delight
March 11, 2022

I signed for 3 months and can't wait to end. I get at least a dozen "smiles" a day which I believe are computer generated as I have followed up and received zero communication from the originator. On a daily basis, I receive at least two messages that a user has found the love of her life but her friend wants me to contact her via email or phone. Believe me, they are scammers trying to get your number and/or email address to take over your account, email, bank account, etc. I have contacted SilverSingles at least two dozen times complaining about this and it is still happening. Oh, and those women who post their one photo with their phone number on it, fake too! Don't waste you time and money. Too many scammers here.
