SilverSingles

I found 3 guys in my area they send a smile I message them not one response not one face picture I'm sorry I wasted my money on this site

I am 72. Divorced, and no stranger to on line 'dating'. Meeting now, is just as challenging, as dating. In my 2nd six month membership now with SilverSingles. It started out ok, then turned to a huge pain. They can not get a grip on the profiles that appear with a text/phone number written on the ONE picture. OR their name is an email address. I included some examples. Just a phishing technique. You will even get the elaborate paste and send bit that their profile was a success, they are getting married soon and it was their last day (so don't bother replying) but my friend saw your profile and has been all over me to get you to contact them. Then an email to write to. Etc etc. Madness. Silver singles brags on their ability to find these idiots. NO, they don't. I get 20+ a day of all three spammer messages. The vast majority come from someone way out of your age preferences, but the spammers are moving that age around. Silver singles also owns Elite singles so there must be no desired age limits given there? One customer service rep bragged that they were the 3 largest Christian dating sites in the world. WHAT? That was news to me. Lol. They mix in all the profiles from the sites. Customer service is terrible. It was ok at first, when I joined, but now it is dismal. Just vetting the fakes takes up your precious time. Doing their job, come to mind. It's hopeless, and the one or two people I have had contact with seem to drift away or I have to scroll thru the maze of spammers to see the 'thread'. It has gotten so bad I figured it was some sort of corporate espionage from a larger company, to buy their name, as this site and two more are based out of Berlin. As if Covid was not bad enough, now a war in Europe, and what solstice was given from online meeting has turned into another misery. Typical of a lot of dating sites. Just give me your CC #...
Last line. Don't waste your TIME or your MONEY.

I've tried too many online dating sites and apps to count, with little success. To a single guy like me in my late 50's, the idea of a site like Silver Singles that catered specifically to people 50 and over seemed like a great idea that would thin out the crowd and make it easier to connect with a compatible companion. The first problem was that the free membership is basically useless, but previous experience made that no surprise. I decided to pay for six months and see how it went.

After forking over my money and trying the site for a week or so, not only were the overwhelming majority of my "matches" WELL beyond reasonable driving distance, but the site is also full of women obviously in their 20s, 30s and 40s. With due respect, I didn't understand why they were granted membership on what's supposed to be an over 50 dating site. On top of that were countless profiles with no photos, and "smiles" from extremely young women from all over the country with phone numbers and email addresses scrawled over their profile pics. Obvious spammers. When I complained about these things, I was told that although they focused on the over 50 crowd, they permitted younger people because "it wouldn't be fair" if they were excluded. To say nothing of the unfairness of forcing the over 50 crowd they claim to focus on to weed out all the completely incompatible profiles. They also claimed to be very serious about fraud and safety while saying that every photo is screened before posting, but virtually every single "smile" I received that showed a profile photo had either a phone number or email address in the photo. They're obviously NOT serious about keeping the fakes out.

Don't waste your time or money with Silver Singles. It's FAR more phony than real.

I met a nice guy who claimed he was an expert sharp shooter who was finishing his contract in Turkey. He was done in July 2023 n back home to Michigan. We hit it off well with lots of plans for our future together. He went on a tour for 10 days or so n when he came back he said he twisted his knee while running from gun fighting. He had surgery n since I worked in the operating room for 25 years I knew what kind of questions to ask him. Everytime I would ask what did the Dr do, he would reply, Dr said I'll be fine. His 16 yr old daughters bday was in July. She was living with her grandmother cause her mother passed 2 yrs ago of cancer. We were texting (always texting never phone calls)n he said Paula's bday was in few days n could I send her 5000.00. I asked why so much. She loves shoes n bags, n he wanted to upgrade her electronics. I asked why not have mother in law buy her gifts till u get home in a few weeks? Or why couldn't he just send her the money. When these shooters come back from a mission, they had to be deactivated including his computer. This time his computer wasn't working properly n he couldn't send money. Then I said to get it fixed or wait till u get home. So I refused to send money. That was the day he became so mad at me which I finally called him a scamer. That was the last time in over a week he talked to me. So I decided to tell him I'll send money (which I wasn't but wanted to see how he would of given me the info I wanted n I wanted to see how this scam worked.) He never sent me his mother in laws info. N I haven't spoken to him again. I would like to post pics of him so other women could be warned about him. His name is Kenny Kyle Oates.
Ladies don't fall for this!

I joined on August 28,2022 premium x 6 months and cancelled on 10/13/2022. It's well worth cancelling it like paying $150 to not get aggravated and not get a headache.
Few real members. I got a daily dose once or twice a day of scammers like what others described here, the same profile or the same theme of profiles, the same theme of messages: he was going through his profile before he closes it then found my profile and asks me to email his friend who had been a widower, blah blah!
Here's another example: "I had to do this for my friend. I was telling him how the site works and we stumbled on your profile on the search for women around his location, would like to connect you to him. He lives close to you. " Then ask for my email or CP # to forward to his friend or give me his email to contact him or his friend for info and photos.
There's one person who I communicated x 2 weeks, I went along, weird repetitive daily message" kept telling me he is new to this and joined x a month only, learning how to go about it. Broken English, Italian descent, Irish looks, blonde hair. Parents deceased for decades, divorced x8 yrs no kids! So convenient! After 2 weeks of weirdness, I did the test! I asked him to post a photo of himself with his favorite cup of coffee and boom! Suddenly this guy vanished! Then, immediately I received a message alert from Silversingles that there is a suspicious member trying to contact me, it is 2 weeks! But not when he started contacting me or during the exchange of messages. Again, how so convenient! They know how to protect their own! Most often someone who sends a smile and not check your profile is a scammer.My friend there reviewed my profile but the weirdness in his conversation one would never miss. Also because I catch them all the time and report messages I always get alerted by Silversingles after the fact. I sent a message to all peeps who contacted me and I've read their profiles I know we're legit, told them to check Silversingles' reviews at this website, those reviews I experienced. Sent those messages to all who contacted me or checked my profile and vice versa andI think we're real people, then made my exit. I can not stand the thought that this website will keep on fooling other people, it's like watching a thief do his deed and not do anything. Happy that I left. DO NOT JOIN SILVERSINGLES EVER! They are out to get your money, a few members who are legit they keep you busy with their scammers who they harbor and protect! This is a German based company. Just saying!
They don't deserve even 1/2 a star! Those poor people whose photos had been posted under a scammer' s fake name! Some profile I included in the photos, very common, usually they're a project manager, a masters degree( in scamming)

AFTER USING SILVER SINGLES FOR ONE WEEK, I COULD NOT GET INTO MY ACCOUNT. CALLED THEIR PHONE # *******444.
I WAS TOLD THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY COMPUTER AND THEY NEED ACCESS TO IT, I IMMEDIATELY HUNG UP.

THIS IS A SCAM! DO NOT LET ANYONE GET ACCESS BY INTERNET TO YOUR COMPUTER.

ONLY WAY TO CLOSE THEM DOWN IS DISPUTE CHARGES WITH YOUR CREDIT CARD COMPANY. Once a dispute is open with Credit Card Company, they flag that company. If any of their customers has a similar charge from that charging company, they refuse to process it until verification is made with the customer of the credit card.

As with many others, I ended up going through many personal questions a week ago. My only absolute was a non smoker. During the week I was given several smokers and 99% of matches were all from many other states. There was only one other person showing that is in my area/County, but I did not get any response from her, even after a couple of attempts. So most profiles are not valid, or do not want to do anything more with the company, or can not have access to the site that they paid for, (such as myself). Now I understand, the week that I did have usage, and communication with others were all new enrollees, such as myself

After one week I could not get back into the site. I asked to have them sent me a new password, but no email was received even after several attempts to request to have my password reset. When I signed up, there was a phone number which I called *******444. When it was answered it sounded like a call center in a " Boiler Room"with a heavy foreign accent, I informed the individual that I could not get back into Silver Singles. The individual wanted access to my computer to find out what is wrong with my computer. I told them there is nothing wrong I just need to have them reset the Password. I was told they cannot do that, and need access to my computer, which is a BIG SCAM.

Their Fax number for support is in Germany.
