WASTE OF MONEY
August 9, 2022

Don't waste your time or money, only contact was from SCAMMERS everyday... customer support could care less. I was getting new matches everyday that were not in my "criteria" distance, age, etc...

My mother was approached by professional con-artist on this site claiming to be romantically interested. Fake photos, and fake emails as they troll for lonely victims. Contacted the dating site, 30 minutes on customer hold and then they claimed they could do nothing as the profile of the criminal had been deleted.

DO NOT USE THIS SITE OR "ELITE SINGLES" THEY ARE FRAUDULENT SITES

This site is junk.
I've been on the site for 9 months. I am flooded with scammers that are allowed to sign up and send smiles for free. They post pictures with email and text numbers across their face. The company claims it's an unfortunate part of the business. If they didn't allow the free sign ups, these would not be happening. I don't think it's fair that I pay for a membership and they allow others to peruse and interact for free. They can give legitimate users the ability to opt out of free users looking and interacting with them. Or, give potential members a sample database to look at without the ability to interact. SilverSingles also does not approve profiles before they are posted. They let the paid members spend their time reporting the fake, scammer profile.
Users can only report the scam if the scammer sent a message. If they sent a smile, they do not allow reporting inside the app. I started sending the email notifications I also receive to customer service. There were so many, they became fed up with me and quite responding. Even sent me a message that my account will be canceled... in 9 months! As if I am going to pay for another 6 months.
That's the other thing. I thought I was signing up monthly and I ended up getting billed for 6 months.
Find another dating app.

Misleading
December 20, 2021

It amazes me on dating site advertisements they post very nice looking men then you view pics to only see unattractive men. Most dating sites are filled with scams and dishonesty. Most are a joke!

Nothing but scammers
September 28, 2022

Do not waste your money on this site! It is full of scammers and reporting it to the company is useless. I am going to report this site for fraud! My money should have already been refunded.

They have auto email responses. Not a real person to help answer your questions. They don't check very thouroughly because someone hacked my info and set up shop on this website.

Worst I've seen
May 26, 2018

I have tried several dating sites, so I'm familiar with how they should work. SilverSingles is by far the worst. I canceled my account after only 2 days. Why? I had almost NO control over anything. In order to set up an account, I had to wade through a series of personality test questions. Then I discovered that the results were very inaccurate (e.g. Said I was "extremely laid back" and frequently very late... NOT. I am VERY OC and especially punctual!). Then when I tried to post a full-body pic of me, my pic was cropped into a head shot. When I tried to narrow my matches by specifying requirements (distance, age, etc.), it kept overriding my settings. Every time I tried to edit/revise my profile or change my picture, it had to go through a "review" which delayed my updates for several hours. I kept getting duplicate emails notifying me of old messages that I'd already read and responded to. The only messages I received (3 in all) were "smiles" (flirts) from shabby looking characters who frankly scared me (one guy wore his under shirt and took the pic in his bathroom mirror). I am a working professional with a graduate degree. Is this the best you can do? When I tried to contact customer service, it took them 2 days to respond! I canceled my subscription and will NOT go back!

I have been on this site for 9 months. Being 60, it seemed one of the most appropriate choices. That being saId, I have identified three typical (and none are legit) responses I receive.
1) Beautiful woman (mostly Asian) in mid 30's who own a country or two or some ridiculous status of wealth
2) OK looking woman in their 30's, 40's, 50's who are kind of nearby (<200 miles away), but they have added a cell phone number, written on their face or somewhere in the pic and, lastly
3) The woman who is around my age, somewhat local, but "has found the love of my love" and was in the process of canceling her members when by chance, her single best friend was looking over her should and saw my profile and wants to meet me. But, oh, she is too shy to create a profile and would I mind e-mailing her at...
I have never received even one legitimate response... ever! I believe the site is a scam from top to bottom and as a consistently active member for 9 months, I gave not seen anything to convince me otherwise. Goodbye, Silver Singles, let's see if Ourtime is legit at all...

Began completing my profile and was about 20% complete when I began getting creepy responses every couple of minutes from an obviously fake account "Mr. Honesty" telling me (not asking me) to post my photo. I would think a person could wait a few extra minutes for the final keystrokes and photo upload.

The lack of concern about 80% of info missing and emphasis on my photo deeply concerned me. My profile status was "in progress" which is self explanatory. I found - as suspected - this site is headquartered outside the U.S. as the response I got was very curt/rude by my standards. Whoever runs this site should block responses until a profile is 100% completed and final. I only want to communicate with age 50+ people on dating websites, but this could be anyone from a web administrator wanting more information to much, much worse.

This site isn't just non-legit, it's potentially dangerous. Sent a complaint to customer service. Explained my dissatisfaction as described above. Asked them to delete any/all info I submitted since I will not be doing business with them.

SilverSingles is a scam, I didn't read the above reviews 1st... S. S. Claims that you can view members before joining... Wrong, Bells & Whisles goes off, so I join up, and I find 200 member online, in a 100 mile radius of Dallas, Fort Worth Texas area, So I use my iPad to take pictures of all 200 of them, of that 190 haven't been online in over a month or two (per the site), and the remaining 10 are fakes, no response from them in a month. I signed up in June of 2019, I canceled Before July renewal. I haven't been there in 3 months and I'm still getting emails from S. S. that someone is viewing my page and is interested in me... Then I get Ransonware malware... completely killed my new computer, because I hadn't installed Virus program... Fake company, Headquaters in foreign countries... good luck getting you money back...

There are way too many scammers on the site. When you complain to Customer Service, they really don't care or notify you of any results.

The site has your money, so the heck with you!

Buyer beware!

I have for weeks been unable to access anything they send. I hit their link and it comes back with a blank page that says "NONE" I wrote to customer service. Explained the problem. And got a canned response telling me try a different browser and empty cache and cookies. It was done. And I even went to a professional in case I was not doing it correctly. It cost me almost $100.00 to be told. It is not my computer. Since every other piece of mail and link works just fine. It is their program exclusively that does not work. So I wrote again to customer service. And told them I did all they suggested and even had a professional work on it. So please either fix the issue or give me a refund. She in turn tells me to clean the cookies and cache. So I wrote again and said fix it or refund my membership. The response is they do not refund... So they take the money, they keep the money, they refuse to help with the problem, give you nothing for your money. It is a scheme, a scam and a fraud... Do not waste your money on a company that does not even apologize for the problems. All they want is your money...

So many scammers on this website and you just keep receiving the website's email notifying you about the scammers almost 2-3 times a week. Don't use it, seriously.

Please don't waste your time and money. The "matches" I was given were nowhere near me, and I was contacted by several scammers. I don't think there are any real people on the site.
