SilverSingles

I signed up for a one-month membership, for $27.99, just to test it out. Imagine my surprise when I received a PayPal receipt for $167.00. I immediately reached out to their customer service department, questioning how this could have happened and requesting they immediately refund me the difference. I also made it clear that the site was not providing the caliber of matches I was seeking (they were seriously horrendous and so far away, and completely beyond the age range I requested).
I did receive a very courteous email within 24 hours, apologizing and asking what they could do to make SS a better experience for me, and they did initiate a refund for the $167.00 and it has already hit my PayPal account so there's that, at least.
I responded to the email and again asked the agent to please tell me how I was charged that much money for the one-month membership in the first place.
I have not heard back and my guess is that I won't.

Save yourself. Do not join this site.

Scammers that only collect money and create fraudulent profiles
Fake profiles most likely created by the Silver Singles people. 5+ fraudulent connections-messages and 5+ fake profiles. Maybe 5 people of 200 suggested profiles were legit. Most of who contacted me, were fishing for my personal information - SCAM! The site most likely is Bogus just to collect personal info and $$$$!
I set a 50 mile radius for suggested partners, age preference and other criteria, but got 1000 miles away, and not what I selected as preferences. 95% of All profiles are Fake. What a JOKE! Do NOT join this site!
They refuse to give me a refund regardless many complaints and literally NO hits. SCAM!

I can't believe that Silver Singles is rated as a top dating site by many rating sites. I was conversing with a man on the site and when I refused to give him my phone number, he told me he hopes "my mother and daughter die tomorrow". Then, "actually, my whole family dies tomorrow." I reported the profile to the site and asked for a refund and they refused. A few days later I got a security alert email from them about the same man and still they would not give me a refund. Every man I've messaged with on this site has ended up with a security alert email from the site.

Also, all of the matches they suggest are from people who are at least 300 miles away.

Don't waste your time or money!

Silversingles is an awful site. No matter what I write for my profile it is automatically rejected and I need to write to customer service to have it approved. I'm guessing that many people have this problem because there are so many incomplete profiles when I look at my "matches". The "matches" that they make for me are much further away than the 100 mile radius that I requested. I also get a large number of messages from fake profiles. I know because I've gotten a number of "Security Alert" messages from them. I've learned to recognize certain messages as being fake and I've learned not to respond to a message right away because I can't tell if the person is real or not. I've already made sure that my subscription will not renew. This is my first experience with a dating site and I'm hoping that not every site is like this. Don't waste your time and money here.

They charge you up front to use site and once your on and build your profile they sent you matches as usual but you set a range and they feed you people from the whole data base. Lucky if there are a few within your true search. Note they won't refund you for your upfront. Charges either. Criminal they run with your 179 bucks and not even proven results for matches. Would rather use the free sites and put up with catfish and scam accounts

Don't waste your hard-earned money on this website. There is little to no oversight in who presents themselves, and half of the profiles are fake, scammers, and big-time "Love Bombers" trying to win your heart so they can set you up for an "ask" (money). Ladies, if you are a widow, BEWARE. Profiles of some of these men disappear, but there is no notification to those who communicated that there was misconduct. I've learned that I am better off alone! Read up on online dating "Red Flags." Educate yourself or your heart will be broken.

I contacted them after I received a notificatin my password was changged, which I did not do. Then was told I didn't have an account since 2021 and upon inquiry told the name was changed. They did not cancel or close the account after I provided the requessted ID. I went in and closed it, but I don't know if they had access to my billing information. They should have closed the account and taken info down when I provided my information to them. So far they have not done a thing to protect me or my information. Nor the people I was in contact with. I then logged back in to the closed account and deleted my profile, which I guess I should have done in the first place. But no one told me what to do. They are useless.
PS half the men that contacted me were scammers and phonies.

Be careful who you deal with on this site. They are mostly foreign men showing off a fancy life style trying to charm with sweet words and sending fake pictures of food they make taken online,. Be careful do not interact or reveal all your information till you really know them well and do a video call at a later stage. I only met one person so far who was real and able to establish a friendship with genuine intentions out of the many men who contacted me.

I filled out the background questionnaire, including photo, but took a breather before committing. Good thing. Read a ton of lousy reviews. That was last night. I have received at least 10 teaser emails from S. S. telling me I have guys interested in me. When I click on them, the site says they have been "taken off my list". Also, Silver Singles "personality evaluation" questionnaires are so silly, why wouldn't everyone want to paint a pretty picture of themselves? I must be matched with more than a thousand people. Interests I get, and also stuff you can write about yourselves. I edited my site and put in "seeking sugar daddy", also, "rich old lady". Hmmm, seems like a contradiction, eh? I also checked out at least 4 sites, "reviewing" Silver Singles". All of them were positive and all of them gave links to S. S. Pretty obvious, I'd say. This site is the only one posting negative reviews. Good for you!

Awful experience. Every contact was bogus. Profiles would appear real, but communication only lasted two exchanges and with no explanation from the person and no obvious reason, stop cold. The intent of this is to keep men interested, thinking they really are talking to someone. Stay away, you will lose your money. It should be illegal and is unethical and shameful to prey on people who are sincerely looking for someone special in their life.

A legitimate site would reveal faces and data base. Instead faces are obscured. You end up going through loads of some what personal questions. Then when you finally finish, they bombard you with so called people liking your comment/ profile and some kisses come in.
Still you are unable to view the faces until you pay up for minimum of 3 months with auto renewal unless cancelled at least 24 prior expiry. But of course that is well hidden in their policy conditions way down at the bottom. Obviously hoping most won't read that far. Always best to go straight to the bottom where the most important information is kept.
So i get people apparently interested in me who made the contact to me at a God forsaken time like 7 am or 1 am in the mornings. A good indicator that it is from a another country with a bogus person apparently from Australia. In short? Stay clear of this Mop.

Signed up and was charged twice, once through the German parent company, then through PayPal fraudulently. They throw a dozen so called "matches" a day at you whom most are no longer active members and over half don't fit your profile answers at all. You can't reach them to change your account status. I cancelled membership, but my profile is still being promoted and I keep receiving bogus matches. Complete scam hidden in Germany.

I've tried this site on two occasions, and this latest one have been spammed by almost 20 scam profiles EVERY DAY. Customer support only tells you to report them. Why am I doing their job?
I'm not sure if they're somehow on the take and get kickbacks from the scammers, the scammers are simply considered part of their normal revenue, or just don't care.
Any other site is better. Stay away.

Wouldn't recommend to anyone... their requirements for using the site are buried deep in the fine print and they will disable your account without any notification.
What horrible thing did I do you might wonder?
I filled out their questionnaire and wrote some great essays, however, I did not want to post any pictures of myself. I'm on the pretty side and simply wanted to avoid superficial guys. I figured that way any responses I would get were from someone that was looking at the inner me rather than the shell. I certainly thought that was more honest than posting a fake picture, as many on this site do.
Well, it took me weeks to get my money refunded and not only did I have to cancel in writing, but follow up with several phone calls.

Anywhere from 10 to 30 fake likes a day some with phone numbers on them, all scammers. Absolutely the worst single site there is. Yea, the worst. Bot knowledge and placement appears to be placed in system by administrators for monetary gain.
